Terms of use

The ground rules for using deviloper.dev and its apps. They are short and, we hope, unsurprising.

Effective date / Last updated:

Acceptance of these terms

These terms apply to deviloper.dev and to the apps listed in the catalog on deviloper.dev (together, “the service”), operated by Yogesh Joshi (“we”, “us”). By using the service you agree to these terms. If you don’t agree, please don’t use it.

The service

The service is a collection of free web tools, games and simulations. Each app runs in your browser on its own deviloper.dev subdomain, and none of them requires an account.

The apps are side projects. We may change, add or remove features, or suspend or discontinue any app or the whole service, at any time and without notice. We don’t promise that any app will remain available.

Acceptable use

When using the service, you agree not to:

  • use it for anything unlawful, or to help anyone else do so;
  • attack, overload or disrupt the service or the systems it runs on, or try to gain unauthorised access to them;
  • scrape, crawl or make automated requests in a way that harms the service’s availability or performance;
  • interfere with the ads, including by generating artificial impressions or clicks, or encouraging others to do so;
  • misrepresent the service, for example by passing off its apps as your own or framing them in a way that suggests a connection that doesn’t exist.

Using an ad blocker or browser privacy settings on your own device is not a breach of these terms.

Intellectual property

Unless stated otherwise, the design, code, text and graphics of the service are © Yogesh Joshi. You’re welcome to use the apps and to link to any page, but you may not copy or republish the service’s content or code without permission, except where a separate licence says otherwise.

Names, logos and trademarks of third parties mentioned in the service, such as the platforms whose character limits an app shows, belong to their owners. Their mention doesn’t imply any affiliation or endorsement.

Conway’s Game of Life is a mathematical concept devised by John Conway and is not owned by anyone. Our implementation of it is covered by the paragraph above, like the rest of the service.

Anything you create or enter in an app, such as text or patterns, is yours; it stays in your browser and we don’t claim any rights to it.

Advertising

The service is free because it shows ads, which are provided by Google. We don’t choose individual ads and don’t endorse the advertisers or their products. Any dealings you have with an advertiser are between you and the advertiser.

No warranty

The service is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including warranties of accuracy, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement, to the extent permitted by law.

Results produced by the apps are approximate. On-screen measurements depend on your display and calibration, and character counts may differ from how a particular platform counts characters. Always verify results before relying on them for anything important, such as manufacturing, legal, medical or financial purposes.

Limitation of liability

To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special or consequential loss or damage, or for any loss of data, profits or opportunity, arising from your use of, or inability to use, the service. Nothing in these terms limits any liability that cannot be limited or excluded under applicable law.

The service links to websites we don’t operate, including advertisers’ websites. We are not responsible for their content, availability or practices, and a link doesn’t mean we endorse them.

Privacy

Our privacy policy explains what information is collected when you use the service, how cookies are used and the choices you have.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. When we do, we will change the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. If you keep using the service after an update, the updated terms apply.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws applicable in the operator’s place of residence, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. This doesn’t take away any protection you have under the mandatory consumer laws of the country where you live.
