Terms of Service
Please read these Terms of Service carefully before using CommonTools. These Terms govern your access to and use of our website and tools.
1.Acceptance of Terms
By accessing or using CommonTools (available at commontools.pro), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, please do not use the Site.
We reserve the right to update these Terms at any time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated date. Your continued use of the Site after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the new Terms.
2.Description of Service
CommonTools provides a collection of free, browser-based utility tools for developers, designers, and content creators — including but not limited to text formatters, code beautifiers, converters, generators, and lookup tools.
- All tools are provided free of charge with no registration required.
- Most tools run entirely in your browser — no data is sent to our servers.
- Network-based tools (e.g., DNS Lookup, IP Checker, WHOIS, SEO Meta Checker) make server-side requests only as required to fetch live data.
We make no guarantee that the Site or any tool will be available at all times. We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any feature without notice.
3.Acceptable Use
You agree to use CommonTools only for lawful purposes. You must not:
- Use the Site in any way that violates applicable local, national, or international laws or regulations.
- Attempt to gain unauthorized access to any part of the Site or its servers.
- Use automated scripts, bots, or scrapers to excessively query our API endpoints.
- Transmit any malicious code, viruses, or harmful content via our tools.
- Reproduce, duplicate, copy, or resell any part of the Site without our express written permission.
- Use our tools to generate, process, or distribute unlawful, defamatory, or infringing content.
- Attempt to interfere with or disrupt the integrity or performance of the Site.
We reserve the right to restrict or terminate access to the Site for any user who violates these Terms.
4.Intellectual Property
All content on CommonTools — including but not limited to text, graphics, logos, icons, tool interfaces, and source code — is the property of CommonTools or its content suppliers and is protected by applicable intellectual property laws.
You are granted a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to access and use the Site for personal, non-commercial purposes. This licence does not include:
- Copying or reproducing the Site's design or content for commercial purposes.
- Modifying, distributing, or creating derivative works based on our tools without permission.
- Using any data mining or extraction techniques on the Site.
Your content: Any text, data, or input you process through our tools remains entirely yours. We do not claim any ownership over content you submit to browser-based tools. For network-based tools, only the queried data (e.g., domain name) is transmitted to our servers temporarily to fulfil your request.
5.Disclaimers & Warranties
CommonTools is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis without warranties of any kind, either express or implied, including but not limited to:
- Warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement.
- Guarantees that the Site will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of viruses.
- Accuracy, completeness, or reliability of any tool's output.
Tool outputs (e.g., formatted code, converted values, lookup results) are provided for convenience only. You are solely responsible for verifying results before using them in any professional, legal, financial, or other important context.
Results from network tools (DNS, WHOIS, IP, SEO) depend on third-party data sources and may not always be accurate, complete, or up to date.
6.Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, CommonTools and its operators shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages — including but not limited to loss of profits, data, goodwill, or business interruption — arising from:
- Your use of, or inability to use, the Site or any tool.
- Any errors, inaccuracies, or omissions in tool output.
- Unauthorised access to or alteration of your data.
- Any third-party content or services linked from the Site.
In jurisdictions that do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or limitation of liability, our liability is limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.
7.Third-Party Links & Services
The Site may contain links to third-party websites or services. These links are provided for your convenience only. We have no control over the content, privacy policies, or practices of third-party sites and accept no responsibility for them.
Some tools rely on third-party APIs (e.g., RDAP registries, IP geolocation services) to deliver results. The accuracy and availability of such data is subject to those providers' terms and conditions.
8.Privacy
Your use of CommonTools is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. Please review it to understand our practices regarding your information.
9.Termination
We reserve the right to terminate or suspend access to the Site at our sole discretion, without notice, for conduct that we believe violates these Terms or is harmful to other users, us, or third parties, or for any other reason.
Since no account registration is required, termination is typically implemented by IP-level or other technical restrictions.
10.Governing Law
These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with applicable laws. Any disputes arising out of or relating to these Terms or your use of the Site shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the competent courts.
If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.
11.Changes to These Terms
We may revise these Terms of Service at any time by updating this page. The revised version will be effective as of the date shown at the top of this page. We encourage you to review these Terms periodically.
If we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Your continued use of the Site after such changes constitutes your acceptance of the new Terms.
