Terms of Service

1. Agreement to Terms

These Terms of Service ("Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between you ("User", "you", or "your") and Microdeck.tools ("Microdeck", "we", "us", or "our"), concerning your access to and use of the microdeck.tools website and all associated tools, calculators, transpilers, and applications.

By accessing or using any part of Microdeck, you agree that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by all of these Terms. If you do not agree with all of these Terms, then you are expressly prohibited from using the site and you must discontinue use immediately.

2. Permitted Use & Free License

We grant you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable, free-of-charge license to access and use our suite of micro-tools for:

• Personal Use: Daily personal calculations, media cropping, study timers, and splitters.
• Academic & Research Use: Scientific citation conversions, GPA planning, and algorithm experiments.
• Commercial & Professional Use: Developer schema migrations, video safe zone checks for marketing campaigns, and client resume generation.

No payment, recurring subscription, or account registration is required.

3. User Data Ownership & Intellectual Property

You retain 100% of your intellectual property rights. Microdeck does not assert any ownership, license, or copyright claim over:

• Any images, videos, or PDFs dragged or loaded into our client-side tools.
• Any SQL queries, Prisma models, Zod schemas, or source code generated or transpiled.
• Any resume texts, citations, or calculation outputs created using our interface.

Because all processing occurs within your browser's local sandbox, your inputs and generated results never transfer to our servers.

4. Accuracy of Tools & Disclaimer of Warranties

All micro-tools, calculators, visualizers, and code transpilers on Microdeck are provided strictly on an "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE" basis, without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied.

While our engineering team applies rigorous automated testing and algorithmic verifications to our tools (e.g., BPE token counts, crontab intervals, financial rent distributions, and SQL ASTs), we do not warrant that:

• The calculations or conversions will be error-free or 100% complete for all edge-case grammars.
• Outputs will satisfy legal, academic citation accreditation, or production database safety standards without your independent review.
• The website will be uninterrupted or immune to third-party network outages.

5. Limitation of Liability

In no event shall Microdeck, its creators, contributors, or affiliates be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising out of your access to or inability to use our tools. This includes, without limitation, damages for loss of profits, database corruption, production downtime, missed deadlines, or incorrect financial calculations.

6. Third-Party Advertisements & External Links

Microdeck displays advertisements served by third-party advertising partners (such as Google AdSense) and may contain links to external third-party websites or services that are not owned or controlled by Microdeck.

We assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies, practices, or accuracy of any third-party websites, advertisements, or products. You acknowledge and agree that Microdeck shall not be responsible or liable, directly or indirectly, for any damage or loss caused by or in connection with the use of any such content or services.

7. Prohibited Activities

As a condition of using Microdeck, you agree not to:

• Attempt to launch Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks against our hosting infrastructure or CDN edge nodes.
• Deploy automated scrapers that unduly burden static asset bandwidth without adhering to robots.txt crawl-rate rules.
• Frame or replicate the site's branding with intent to deceive or phish users.

8. Changes to Terms

We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to modify or replace these Terms at any time. Material changes will be noted by the revised "Effective Date" at the top of this document. Continued use of our site following any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated Terms.
