Terms of Service

Last updated: March 25, 2026

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using OpenNote.dev ("the Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree to all of these Terms, you must immediately stop using the Service. Your continued use of the Service constitutes ongoing acceptance of these Terms as they may be updated from time to time.

2. Description of Service

OpenNote.dev provides a collection of free developer utilities accessible via a web browser. The Service does not require account creation, login, or authentication. The availability, features, and licensing of individual tools may vary and may change at any time without notice.

3. Use of the Service

You agree to use the Service only for lawful purposes. You shall not:

  • Use the Service to generate content that is illegal, harmful, defamatory, obscene, or infringes on the rights of others.
  • Attempt to disrupt, overload, or interfere with the Service's infrastructure, including denial-of-service attacks.
  • Use automated tools, bots, or scripts to excessively scrape, crawl, or abuse the Service.
  • Circumvent any rate limits, security measures, or access controls.
  • Reverse-engineer, decompile, or disassemble any proprietary portion of the Service.
  • Use the Service in any manner that could damage, disable, or impair it.
  • Redistribute, resell, or sublicence the Service or any output as a competing service.

We reserve the right to suspend or block access to the Service at any time, for any reason, without notice or liability — including but not limited to suspected abuse, excessive usage, or violation of these Terms.

4. Intellectual Property

All tools, source code, the OpenNote.dev name, logo, design, and overall look-and-feel are the exclusive property of their respective owners and may not be copied, modified, or redistributed without express written permission.

Content you create using the tools (e.g. QR codes, cleaned images) belongs to you. We claim no ownership of your input data or generated output.

5. No Warranty

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY, COMPLETENESS, NON-INFRINGEMENT, OR UNINTERRUPTED AVAILABILITY.

We do not warrant that: (a) the Service will meet your requirements; (b) the Service will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free; (c) any outputs or results obtained from the Service will be accurate, reliable, or fit for any particular purpose; or (d) any defects in the Service will be corrected.

Without limiting the foregoing, we do not guarantee that the Service will successfully identify or remove all metadata, personally identifiable information, or other embedded data from your files. You are solely responsible for verifying any output before sharing, publishing, or distributing it.

You use the Service entirely at your own risk. Any material downloaded or otherwise obtained through the Service is accessed at your own discretion and risk.

6. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, OPENNOTE.DEV, ITS OWNERS, OPERATORS, CONTRIBUTORS, AND AFFILIATES SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES — INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, GOODWILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES — ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO: (a) YOUR ACCESS TO OR USE OF (OR INABILITY TO USE) THE SERVICE; (b) ANY CONTENT, OUTPUT, OR DATA OBTAINED FROM THE SERVICE; (c) UNAUTHORISED ACCESS TO OR ALTERATION OF YOUR DATA; OR (d) ANY OTHER MATTER RELATING TO THE SERVICE, REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF LIABILITY (CONTRACT, TORT, STRICT LIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE), EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

IN NO EVENT SHALL OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO YOU EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU HAVE PAID US FOR USE OF THE SERVICE IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM, OR TEN US DOLLARS ($10.00), WHICHEVER IS GREATER.

7. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless OpenNote.dev, its owners, operators, contributors, and affiliates from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or related to: (a) your use of the Service; (b) your violation of these Terms; (c) your violation of any third-party right, including intellectual property or privacy rights; or (d) any content or data you submit to the Service.

8. Availability and Modification

We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service — temporarily or permanently — at any time, for any reason, without prior notice or liability to you. We may also impose limits on certain features or restrict access to parts or all of the Service without notice.

9. Third-Party Services

The Service may use third-party infrastructure providers (such as Cloudflare) for hosting, security, and analytics. Your use of the Service is also subject to the terms and policies of those providers. We are not responsible for the practices of any third-party service.

10. External Links

The Service may contain links to third-party websites or resources — including but not limited to source code repositories, documentation, support pages, and donation platforms. These links are provided for convenience only. We do not endorse, control, or assume any responsibility for the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party sites. You access external links entirely at your own risk.

11. Governing Law

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Province of British Columbia and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any disputes arising from these Terms or the Service shall be resolved exclusively in the courts located in British Columbia, Canada, and you irrevocably consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts.

12. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision shall be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.

13. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms at any time without prior notice. Changes take effect immediately upon posting. It is your responsibility to review these Terms periodically. Continued use of the Service after any modification constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms.
