Terms of use

Using the site

These terms apply when you use Punctuation Checker at punctuation-checker.com: the punctuation checker, the guides and every other page. By using the site you agree to them; if you do not agree, please do not use it. How we handle data is described separately in our Privacy Policy.

What Punctuation Checker provides

punctuation-checker.com gives you a free punctuation checker that works directly in the browser, plus explanatory articles. You do not need an account, and there is nothing to pay. We offer it as is, as a general-purpose aid.

Accuracy of results

Every result from the punctuation checker is an estimate that depends on your inputs and on the assumptions behind the method. Actual conditions differ from case to case, and errors, whether in the inputs or in the tool, can happen.

Check any important figure independently before acting on it, particularly when money, health or safety is involved. The site does not provide engineering, medical, legal, financial or any other professional advice. Speak to a qualified professional where it matters.

What you may not do

You may use the site for any lawful purpose. You agree not to:

• use bots or scripts to copy the site in a way that harms its performance for others;
• use the site for anything unlawful, fraudulent or harmful;
• attempt to break or bypass the site's security, or disrupt its servers or networks;
• reproduce substantial parts of the site, its guides or its code as your own work.

No warranties

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the site and the punctuation checker are provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, express or implied. That covers, for example, any warranty of accuracy, of fitness for a particular purpose and of non-infringement. We do not promise that the site will be error-free, uninterrupted or free of harmful components.

Our liability

As far as the law permits, the operator of punctuation-checker.com accepts no liability for indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages, or for lost data, profits or business, resulting from the use of the site or of its results. Where liability cannot be excluded, it is limited to the minimum the law allows. These terms do not affect any liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.

Intellectual property

The site's content, layout and code are owned by its operator or licensors and protected by copyright law. Feel free to use your results and to share links to the site. Please do not copy or republish substantial parts of the site, its guides or its code without permission. Copyright concerns can be raised as described on our DMCA page.

External links and ads

The site shows ads from third-party networks and may link to other websites. Those websites and advertisers are outside our control, and we are not responsible for what they publish, sell or do with your data. Any dealings with an advertiser are solely between you and that advertiser.

Ending access

We may block or restrict access for anyone who breaks these terms or harms the site, for example by blocking abusive traffic. The disclaimers, the limitation of liability and other provisions meant to survive remain in effect afterwards.

Availability

We may change, suspend or discontinue any part of the site at any time. These terms are updated when our practices change, and the version published here applies. Continuing to use the site after a change means you accept the updated terms.

Severability and waiver

Should a court find any part of these terms invalid, the remaining parts stay in force and the invalid part is applied as far as possible. If we do not enforce a provision straight away, we have not given up the right to do so.
