Terms & Conditions

These Terms & Conditions (“Terms”) govern your use of DevBench (devbench.co.in) and its tools. By using the site you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use DevBench.

1. The service

DevBench is a collection of browser-based developer tools. It is free forever — there are no accounts, no subscriptions, no in-app purchases, and no payments of any kind. The site is funded by advertising and, occasionally, clearly marked affiliate links (see section 6).

You must be at least 13 years old to use DevBench. We may add, change, or remove tools at any time, and we do not guarantee that the site will be uninterrupted, error-free, or available at any particular moment.

2. Acceptable use

You may use DevBench for personal and internal work purposes. You must not use the site to:

• break the law, infringe others' rights, or distribute malicious or illegal content;
• abuse the features that make network requests — the API Tester proxy, Webhook Simulator, Notebook → PDF conversion, and Go playground — for spam, scanning, attacking systems, or overwhelming third parties;
• disrupt, probe, or reverse-engineer the site in a way that harms its operation or other users;
• scrape the site at abusive rates or republish substantial portions of it as your own service; or
• misrepresent your affiliation with DevBench or use our name and logo without permission.

We may restrict or block access when we reasonably believe these rules are being violated.

3. Your inputs and outputs

Anything you paste into DevBench tools remains yours. For client-side tools your input never reaches our servers (see section 1 of our Privacy Policy), and the results a tool produces — formatted text, generated files, decoded tokens, calculations — are yours to use and rely on.

You are responsible for the data you enter, including having the rights and permissions to use it. DevBench tools are utilities for developers; their output is informational and should be verified before being used for decisions with legal, financial, or safety consequences.

4. Intellectual property

The DevBench site — its design, branding, text, documentation, and code — belongs to the DevBench contributors. The code is released under the MIT License (see the LICENSE file in our repository), which lets anyone use, copy, modify, and redistribute it under those terms.

Tool outputs are not our intellectual property — they are yours (section 3). The DevBench name, logo, and site layout may not be reproduced or used in a way that suggests endorsement without permission.

5. Open-source licenses

DevBench is built on top of dozens of open-source packages. Each of those packages remains licensed under its own terms (typically MIT, Apache-2.0, or BSD), which continue to apply to them independently of our license. Our MIT license covers the DevBench source code itself — the full dependency list is published in package.json in the repository.

6. Ads and third-party links

DevBench displays advertisements served by Google AdSense and may contain affiliate links to third-party products. Ads and affiliate placements do not receive the text or files you enter into tools, and they never influence how any tool behaves. Third-party sites you reach through ads or links have their own terms and privacy policies; we are not responsible for their content or practices.

7. No warranties

DevBench is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind — express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that tool output is accurate, complete, or that the site will be secure or continuously available.

8. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the DevBench contributors will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or exemplary damages, or for any loss of data, profits, goodwill, or business interruption, arising from your use of (or inability to use) the site — even if advised of the possibility of such damages.

Our total liability for any claim relating to DevBench is limited to the amount you have paid us in the last twelve months — which is nothing, because DevBench is free. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so parts of this section may not apply to you.

9. Privacy

How we handle information is described in the Privacy Policy, which forms part of these Terms.

10. Changes to these terms

We may update these Terms as the site evolves. The “last updated” date at the top reflects the most recent revision, and continued use of DevBench after a change means you accept the updated Terms.

11. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of India, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules, and any disputes are subject to the jurisdiction of the courts of India.
