4. Open Source

We're planning to open-source the entire codebase soon. When we do, you'll find it on GitHub under a permissive open-source license. Once we go public, you'll be welcome to fork, modify, contribute, or host your own instance.

5. No Warranties

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT ANY WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. We make no warranties that the Service will meet your requirements, be uninterrupted, or be error-free. Always verify critical outputs independently.

• Any consequences of using the Service

8. Privacy and Data

As detailed in our Privacy Policy, we don't collect, store, or transmit any of your data. All processing happens locally in your browser.

Exception: The Domain Checker tool sends domain queries to external DNS services, but only the domain names you're checking — no personal data or tracking information.

9. Intellectual Property

The Boring Developer Tools name, logo, and branding are owned by us. The source code will be open source once we make it public. You retain all rights to any data you input into or output from the Service.

10. Service Modifications

We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue the Service at any time.

11. Third-Party Services

The Domain Checker tool interacts with third-party DNS services to check domain availability. We are not responsible for the availability or accuracy of data from these third-party services.

12. Governing Law

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with applicable laws, without regard to conflict of law principles.
