Terms and Conditions of Use
Last updated: October 5, 2026. Please read these Terms and Conditions carefully before using the utility tools and resources provided on Matola Tools.
1. Agreement to Terms
By accessing or using Matola Tools, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to be bound by these Terms and Conditions. If you do not agree with any part of these terms, please discontinue use of this website.
2. Permitted Use of Tools
Matola Tools provides browser-based utilities for personal, educational, professional, and commercial use. You are welcome to use our tools to compress images, format code, generate UUIDs, calculate metrics, and build marketing links for both personal projects and business operations free of charge.
3. Prohibited Conduct
When using this website, you agree not to:
- Use automated bots, scrapers, or scripts to systematically overload or degrade our hosting infrastructure.
- Attempt to bypass security measures, probe server vulnerabilities, or inject malicious payloads into our systems.
- Frame or mirror this website within another site in a manner that misrepresents our branding or authorship.
- Use our tools for any unlawful purpose, fraud, or infringement of third-party intellectual property rights.
- Distribute malware, phishing links, or unauthorized tracking tokens through our utility inputs.
4. Tool Limitations and No Warranty
All tools, calculators, formatters, and educational articles on Matola Tools are provided on an "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE" basis, without warranties of any kind, whether express, statutory, or implied. This includes warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.
While we make every effort to ensure algorithmic accuracy, mathematical correctness, and reliable performance, we do not warrant that our tools will be entirely error-free, uninterrupted, or suitable for your specific legal, financial, or engineering requirements. You are responsible for independently verifying all critical calculations and outputs.
5. Browser Compatibility and Technical Requirements
Our utility tools depend on modern web browser standards (including HTML5 Canvas, Web Cryptography, and ES6+ JavaScript). To ensure full functionality, users should access the website using current versions of modern evergreen browsers such as Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, or Microsoft Edge. We do not guarantee compatibility with legacy browsers that lack support for these standards (such as Internet Explorer).
6. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Matola Tools and its author, Nadeem, shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your access to, use of, or inability to use our tools and resources. This includes, without limitation, damages for lost profits, lost data, business interruption, or system downtime, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.
7. Intellectual Property Rights
The original text, site design, stylesheets, custom scripts, and visual branding on Matola Tools are the intellectual property of Nadeem and are protected by applicable copyright laws. You retain full, exclusive ownership of all content, code, images, and data you process using our tools.
8. User Responsibility for Data Backups
Because all file transformations (such as image resizing, cropping, and compression) execute locally in your browser memory, you should always maintain original backup copies of critical files. Matola Tools is not responsible for accidental data loss or file corruption during client-side operations.
9. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Matola Tools and its author against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, or expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of your misuse of the tools, your violation of these Terms, or your infringement of any intellectual property or rights of another party.
10. Dispute Resolution and Good Faith Negotiation
In the event of any controversy, claim, or dispute arising out of or relating to your use of this website or these Terms and Conditions, the parties agree to first attempt in good faith to resolve the matter through informal communications for a period of not less than thirty (30) days prior to initiating any formal dispute resolution proceedings.
These Terms and Conditions shall be governed by and construed in accordance with standard common law principles and applicable consumer protection statutes, without giving effect to any principles of conflicts of law.
