Terms & Conditions

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using CHITools, you agree to these Terms & Conditions and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with these terms, please do not use the service.

2. Description of the Service

CHITools provides online utility tools for tasks such as file conversion, document processing, image processing, audio processing and other digital operations.

Features may be added, modified, suspended or discontinued at any time without guaranteeing permanent availability of a particular tool.

3. User Responsibility

You are responsible for the files, content and data that you submit to CHITools and for ensuring that you have the necessary rights, permissions and authority to process such content.

You must not use CHITools to process content in a manner that violates applicable laws, regulations, intellectual property rights, privacy rights or other rights of third parties.

4. Prohibited Activities

You agree not to misuse CHITools or attempt to interfere with its operation.

Prohibited activities include, but are not limited to:

• Attempting to gain unauthorized access to servers, applications, accounts or infrastructure.
• Attempting to bypass authentication, authorization, rate limits, file restrictions or other security controls.
• Performing unauthorized vulnerability scanning, penetration testing, exploitation or security testing against CHITools infrastructure.
• Uploading malware, ransomware, viruses, trojans, malicious scripts or other harmful code.
• Intentionally sending excessive requests or traffic designed to overload, disrupt or degrade the service.
• Attempting denial-of-service or distributed denial-of-service activity.
• Reverse engineering, interfering with or attempting to compromise service infrastructure.
• Using automated systems in a manner that unreasonably consumes service resources or circumvents intended usage limitations.
• Attempting to access another user`'`s files, jobs, processing sessions or information.
• Using the service for unlawful activities or to facilitate unlawful activities.

We may suspend or terminate access, investigate suspicious activity, preserve relevant technical information, cooperate with appropriate authorities, and pursue available legal remedies where we reasonably believe that misuse, abuse, unauthorized access or unlawful activity has occurred.

5. Security Testing

CHITools does not authorize users to conduct penetration tests, vulnerability assessments, exploit testing, load testing or other security testing against its infrastructure unless explicit written authorization has been provided.

Security researchers who believe they have identified a vulnerability should contact us before conducting further testing or attempting to exploit the issue.

6. Temporary Files and Data

Some tools require temporary server-side processing of uploaded files.

Temporary files may be automatically deleted after the applicable retention period. Users may also be provided with a manual deletion option where supported.

CHITools is not intended to function as a permanent storage, archival or backup service.

Users should retain their own copies of important files and results.

7. Availability and Service Interruptions

We aim to keep CHITools available and reliable, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation.

The service may become temporarily unavailable due to maintenance, infrastructure failures, network problems, software errors, security events, third-party failures, excessive traffic or other circumstances.

8. Disclaimer of Warranties

CHITools is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.

We do not warrant that the service will always be available, uninterrupted, secure, accurate, complete, error-free or suitable for every particular purpose.

9. Data and File Loss

You acknowledge that uploading and processing files through an online service involves technical risks.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, CHITools and its operators will not be responsible for loss, corruption, deletion, unavailability or unauthorized alteration of files resulting from technical failures, user actions, service interruptions, security incidents, third-party infrastructure failures or other circumstances beyond reasonable control.

This section does not exclude or limit liability where such exclusion or limitation is prohibited by applicable law.

10. Third-Party Services and Advertisements

CHITools may use third-party services, including advertising, analytics, hosting, security and infrastructure providers.

Third-party services operate according to their own terms and policies. CHITools is not responsible for the independent operation, content or privacy practices of third-party services.

11. Intellectual Property

Unless otherwise stated, the CHITools website, branding, interface, original content, software and related materials are owned by or licensed to CHITools and may not be copied, reproduced, redistributed or commercially exploited without appropriate authorization.

12. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, CHITools and its operators shall not be liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, special or punitive damages, or for loss of data, profits, revenue, business opportunities or other intangible losses arising from or related to use of the service.

Nothing in these Terms is intended to exclude liability that cannot legally be excluded under applicable law.

13. Suspension and Termination

We may restrict, suspend or terminate access to CHITools where necessary to protect the service, users, infrastructure or third parties, or where these Terms are violated.
