Terms of Service

2.1 Age Requirement

You must be at least 18 years old to register for an account or use any registered-only features of the Services. If you are under 18, you may still use our free, in-browser Markdown tools without registering an account, but you may not create an account, submit payment information, or access any paid features.

2.2 Account Creation

To access certain features—such as saving preferences, storing snippets, or using our API (when available)—you must create a ToMarkdown account. When registering:

1. You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information (including a valid email address and username).
2. You agree to keep your account credentials (password or OAuth2 tokens) confidential and secure.
3. You agree not to share your account credentials with any third party or allow others to use your account.
4. You must notify us immediately if you suspect your account has been compromised or used without authorization.

2.3 OAuth2 Login

If you choose to sign in via a third-party OAuth2 provider (e.g., Google, GitHub), you authorize ToMarkdown to access the basic profile information (e.g., name, email, avatar) that you consent to share through that provider. You remain bound by the provider's terms of service with respect to any data obtained from that provider.

3.1 Compliance with Laws

You agree to use the Services in compliance with all applicable local, state, national, and international laws and regulations. You must not use ToMarkdown for any unlawful or prohibited activities.

3.2 Prohibited Actions

When using ToMarkdown, you agree that you will not:

We reserve the right to investigate and prosecute violations of any of the above to the fullest extent of the law.

4.1 Ownership

All content, design, features, and functionality of the Services (including but not limited to trademarks, logos, text, graphics, images, and software code) are the exclusive property of ToMarkdown or its licensors and are protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws.

4.2 User-Generated Content

You retain ownership of any content you upload or create within ToMarkdown (such as saved snippets, profile avatars, or Markdown documents). By uploading or submitting any content to ToMarkdown, you grant ToMarkdown a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, irrevocable license to use, reproduce, distribute, modify, and display such content for the purpose of operating and improving the Services.

4.3 Feedback

If you provide feedback, suggestions, or ideas regarding the Services, you grant ToMarkdown a perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, incorporate, and modify that feedback in any manner without compensation to you.

5.1 Free Tools

ToMarkdown provides certain free, in-browser Markdown editing, conversion, and optimization tools accessible without registration. These free tools operate entirely client-side. (See Section 7 regarding privacy.)

5.2 Paid API & Subscription Plans

We may offer paid subscription plans (e.g., API access, advanced editing features, priority support) in the future. If you elect to subscribe:

1. You agree to pay all fees specified at the time of purchase.
2. Payments are processed through a third-party payment processor (e.g., Stripe or PayPal), and you agree to abide by that processor's terms.
3. By providing payment information, you authorize us to charge recurring subscription fees (e.g., monthly or annual) until you cancel.

5.3 Refund Policy

• Free Trial Periods: If a subscription plan includes a trial period, you may cancel within the trial window to avoid charges.
• Refund Requests: Except where required by law, all payments for subscription plans are non-refundable once the trial period (if any) has ended and the paid features have been accessed.
• Cancellation: You may cancel your subscription at any time via your account dashboard. Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing cycle; you will not receive a prorated refund for unused days.

For any billing inquiries, please contact support@tomarkdown.dev.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Services are provided "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE," without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied. We disclaim all warranties, including but not limited to merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, and uninterrupted availability.
