Terms of Service
These terms govern your use of Crypto & Hash Tools, a free browser-based cryptographic utility website. The tools are provided as-is for lawful use. Because all processing happens locally, you are responsible for how you use the resulting values. This page covers acceptable use, tool limitations, accuracy, security responsibility, and contact information.
1. Acceptance of Terms
By accessing and using Crypto & Hash Tools, you accept and agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, please do not use the service.
2. Acceptable Use
You agree to use the tools responsibly and in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. You may not use the service for any unlawful purpose or in any way that could damage, disable, overburden, or impair the service or its infrastructure.
3. Tool Limitations
The tools compute cryptographic and text-processing values in the browser. They are not a substitute for a security architecture. MD5 and SHA-1 are collision-broken; CRC32 is not cryptographic; and no fast hash is suitable for password storage. Each tool page describes its own limitations, which form part of these terms.
4. Accuracy
The tools use established libraries and aim for correct output, but no warranty is made that results are error-free or suitable for your specific needs. For critical applications, verify results against an independent implementation before relying on them.
5. Security Responsibility
You are responsible for how you use the values the tools produce, including key management for HMAC, algorithm selection, and integration into your systems. Browser-only processing protects your input from server-side exposure, but it does not relieve you of the responsibility to choose appropriate algorithms and follow sound security practices.
6. No Warranty
This service is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied. We do not guarantee that the tools will be error-free, uninterrupted, or suitable for a particular purpose.
7. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, we shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of or inability to use the service. You use the tools at your own risk.
8. Availability
We do not guarantee continuous availability of the service. The site may be unavailable due to maintenance, hosting issues, or other factors. Because the tools run in your browser, a loaded page often continues to work even if the server is temporarily unreachable.
9. Intellectual Property
The design, code, and content of this website are protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws. You may use the tools for personal or commercial purposes, but you may not copy, modify, or redistribute the website code or content without permission.
10. Third-Party Services
The site relies on third-party services for hosting, content delivery, advertising, and donation processing. We are not responsible for the practices of these providers, which are governed by their own terms and policies.
11. External Links
This website may contain links to third-party websites or services. We are not responsible for the content, privacy practices, or terms of any third-party sites. Accessing them is at your own risk.
12. User Responsibility
You are responsible for ensuring that your use of the tools complies with any obligations applicable to you, including your organization's policies, contractual requirements, and legal duties. Do not paste values you are not authorized to handle.
13. Changes to Terms
We reserve the right to modify these Terms of Service at any time. Changes are effective immediately upon posting. Continued use of the service after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
