Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using Ciphertides (the “Service”), available at https://ciphertides.com, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service (“Terms”). If you do not agree to these Terms, please do not use the Service. We reserve the right to update these Terms at any time, and your continued use of the Service constitutes acceptance of any changes.

Description of Service

Ciphertides provides free, browser-based online tools including PDF utilities, password generators and checkers, hash generators, encoding tools, and network diagnostic tools. Most tools process data entirely within your web browser. Some tools, such as DNS Lookup, require server-side processing to query external services. All tools are provided free of charge without requiring account registration.

Use Restrictions

You agree to use the Service only for lawful purposes and in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. You may not:

• Use the Service to engage in any illegal activity, including unauthorized access to computer systems or networks.
• Attempt to disrupt, overload, or impair the Service or its underlying infrastructure.
• Use automated systems, bots, or scripts to access the Service in a manner that exceeds reasonable use.
• Reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract the source code of the Service beyond what is permitted by applicable law.
• Reproduce, redistribute, or resell the Service or any part of it without our prior written consent.

Intellectual Property

All content, design, code, graphics, and other materials on the Service are owned by or licensed to Ciphertides and are protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. You may use the tools for personal and professional purposes, but you may not copy, modify, or distribute the Service itself without authorization. The output generated by the tools (e.g., generated passwords, hash values, converted files) belongs to you.

Disclaimer of Warranties

The Service is provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind, either express or implied, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or completely secure. While we strive to provide accurate and reliable tools, we make no guarantees regarding the accuracy, completeness, or reliability of any results produced by the tools.

Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Ciphertides, its owners, operators, and contributors shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including but not limited to loss of data, revenue, or profits, arising out of or related to your use of the Service. Our total liability for any claim arising from or related to the Service shall not exceed the amount you paid us, if any, for accessing the Service during the twelve months preceding the claim.

Modifications to the Service

We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service at any time without prior notice. We may add, change, or remove tools and features as we see fit. We shall not be liable to you or any third party for any modification, suspension, or discontinuation of the Service.

Governing Law

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with applicable laws. Any disputes arising from these Terms or your use of the Service shall be resolved through good-faith negotiation first. If a resolution cannot be reached, disputes shall be submitted to the competent courts of the applicable jurisdiction.
