Terms & Conditions

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using Total Word Counter ("the Service") at totalwordcounter.com, you agree to these Terms & Conditions. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service.

2. Description of Service

Total Word Counter is a free, browser-based text analysis tool. It counts words, characters, sentences, paragraphs, and provides readability estimates, reading time, and speaking time. The Service also supports file uploads (PDF, DOCX, TXT, CSV, PPTX) processed entirely client-side in your browser.

3. Free Use & No Account Required

The Service is provided at no charge. No account, email address, or registration is required to use any feature. We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue the Service at any time without notice.

4. Your Content

All text you type, paste, or upload is processed exclusively in your browser. We do not receive, store, or transmit your content to any server. You retain full ownership of and responsibility for any content you process using the Service.

You agree not to use the Service to process content that violates applicable law, infringes third-party rights, or is unlawful in your jurisdiction. Because we never see your content, enforcement of this clause is solely your responsibility.

5. Intellectual Property

The design, source code, branding, and all original content of Total Word Counter are the property of their respective owners. Third-party open-source libraries used in the Service are governed by their own licenses (MIT, Apache 2.0, etc.) and are credited in the application.

You may not copy, distribute, or create derivative works of the Service's proprietary elements without written permission.

6. Disclaimer of Warranties

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that results (word counts, readability scores, reading times) will meet any specific requirement or standard. Always verify critical counts against the authoritative source (e.g., Microsoft Word, Google Docs) when accuracy is essential.

7. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Total Word Counter and its operators shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of or inability to use the Service, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.

8. External Links

The Service may contain links to third-party websites or resources for reference purposes. We are not responsible for the content, accuracy, or practices of those sites.

9. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms & Conditions at any time. Continued use of the Service after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised terms. The "Last updated" date at the bottom of this page will reflect any changes.

10. Governing Law

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with applicable law. Any disputes arising from use of the Service shall be resolved in the appropriate courts of competent jurisdiction.
