Terms of Service & Open Source Software License

Clear, transparent terms governing the use of ToolAcre’s client-side browser utilities, local WebAssembly engines, and open-source software libraries. Zero hidden subscriptions, zero proprietary vendor lock-in, and strictly zero custodial risk over your code, assets, or data streams.

Architecture 01

Non-Custodial Architecture

ToolAcre never touches, inspects, or stores user files. All processing occurs locally in client V8/WebAssembly memory spaces without staging servers.

Access 02

No Account / No Paywall

Core tools remain 100% free and accessible without registration, email capture, token gating, or recurring SaaS subscriptions. Instant developer access.

Networking 03

Zero Egress Guarantee

Mathematical and network-isolated assurance of local compute execution with zero network transmission. Input payloads never generate HTTP POST or socket telemetry.

Section § 1.0 Foundational Principle

Article 01: Acceptance of Terms & Non-Custodial Nature

By opening, viewing, interacting with, or loading any component of the ToolAcre Web Applications, WebAssembly runtimes, or standalone client packages, you explicitly acknowledge and accept this legal instrument. If you do not agree to every clause, you must terminate your session and close your browser tab immediately.

Why Traditional Cloud SaaS Data Terms Do Not Apply

Unlike traditional cloud software vendors (who host databases, ingest payloads onto multi-tenant clusters, create automated backups, and reserve rights to analyze customer telemetry), ToolAcre operates on a purely Non-Custodial Architecture. When you paste JSON payloads, cryptographic keys, SQL dumps, or base64 streams into ToolAcre:

Your data is never transmitted to, staged on, or received by ToolAcre physical or cloud servers.
ToolAcre holds neither title, constructive custody, nor physical possession of your materials.
All transformations occur within your computer's local memory heap via browser JavaScript engines and WebAssembly bytecodes.

Because no data leaves your browser sandbox during standard tool operations, traditional statutory data processor covenants (e.g., standard contractual clauses for cloud data import under GDPR Chapter V) are technically inapplicable to our compute operations.

Section § 2.0 Licensing Extract

Article 02: Software License & Open Source Attribution

ToolAcre’s frontend interfaces, styling frameworks, and local computation modules are licensed under the Apache License, Version 2.0 (the "License"). You may obtain a full copy of the License at http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0.

APACHE-2.0 LEGAL EXTRACT (TERMS 4-6)

Patent Grant

Contributors grant explicit patent rights to users, shielding your engineering workflows from retrospective patent aggression.

Section § 3.0 Usage Bounds

Article 03: Permitted & Prohibited Use

ToolAcre is engineered to provide unrestricted high-utility computation. However, maintaining service availability and preserving legal integrity requires explicit boundaries regarding infrastructure abuse:

task_alt Expressly Permitted Activities

• High-volume batch parsing, cryptographic hashing, and data serialization in local scripts.
• Mirroring static production bundles behind corporate offline firewalls or intranet portals.
• Embedding utilities within educational curricula and cybersecurity training labs.
• Processing highly sensitive, confidential, or regulated (HIPAA, PCI-DSS) codebases on local machines.

block Strictly Prohibited Exploitation

• Reverse proxying ToolAcre static domains to masquerade as an unauthorized commercial cloud service.
• Automated high-frequency scraping of static edge nodes intended to induce Denial of Service (DDoS).
• Deploying weaponized exploits targeting upstream V8/JIT bugs via ToolAcre sandbox interfaces.
• Circumventing ad delivery modules via malware injection or malicious browser extensions.

Section § 4.0 FOSS Disclaimers

Article 04: Disclaimers, Warranty & Limitation of Liability

DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY: THE TOOLACRE SYSTEM AND ANY DERIVATIVE WORK IS PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

You are solely responsible for determining the appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any risks associated with your exercise of permissions under this License. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:

No Financial or Actuarial Guarantee: Output from DCF valuation calculators, amortization matrices, or interest engines are provided purely for informational engineering prototypes and do not constitute certified financial advice or audit-grade models.
No Legal Redaction Guarantee: PDF redact and text sanitization tools perform local string matching; users must manually verify zero-byte sanitization before filing confidential court exhibits or legal discoveries.
Limitation of Direct and Consequential Damages: In no event and under no legal theory, whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise, shall ToolAcre, its maintainers, or contributors be liable to you for damages, including any direct, indirect, special, incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the Work.

Section § 5.0 External Connectors

Article 05: Network-Dependent Third-Party Utilities

While 98% of ToolAcre operates with strictly Zero-Egress, a small subset of specific utilities explicitly require contact with public internet services to deliver user-requested assets (for example, the YouTube High-Res Thumbnail Resolver, external DNS propagation visualizers, and CORS API test proxies).

hub

Explicit Third-Party Boundaries

When using these explicit network tools, your browser or our stateless micro-relay may query public APIs maintained by Google LLC, Cloudflare, or ICANN root servers. In such instances, queries are subject to the independent privacy terms and rate limits of those corresponding external endpoints.

Section § 6.0 Jurisdiction

Article 06: Governing Law, Dispute Resolution & Severability

These terms, the license mechanics, and all matters arising out of or relating to ToolAcre shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, United States, without regard to conflicts of law principles.

Severability: If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid, void, or unenforceable under applicable municipal or international statute, such provision shall be eliminated or reduced to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.
