Terms of Service

Last updated: January 1, 2026

Welcome to JSON Formatter. These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the JSON Formatter website located at https://www.json-formatter.example/ (the "Service"). By accessing or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, please do not use the Service.

Acceptance of Terms

By accessing, browsing, or otherwise using the Service, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy. These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and JSON Formatter ("we," "us," or "our"). If you are using the Service on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have the authority to bind that organization to these Terms.

You must be at least 13 years of age, or the age of digital consent in your jurisdiction, to use the Service. By using the Service, you represent and warrant that you meet this age requirement and that you have the legal capacity to enter into this agreement.

Use of the Service

The JSON Formatter is a free, fully client-side tool that allows you to format, validate, beautify, and minify JSON data. All processing occurs locally in your browser — no JSON data is transmitted to or stored on our servers. We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the Service for your personal or commercial purposes subject to these Terms.

You agree to use the Service only for lawful purposes and in a manner that does not infringe the rights of, restrict, or inhibit anyone else's use and enjoyment of the Service. You are solely responsible for the content you process using the Service and for ensuring you have the right to do so.

The Service is provided free of charge. We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue the Service, or any part of it, at any time and without notice. We will not be liable to you or any third party for any modification, suspension, or discontinuance of the Service.

Intellectual Property

The Service, including its design, source code, text, graphics, and software, is owned by JSON Formatter and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, or lease any part of the Service without our prior written consent.

The JSON data you process using the Service remains your property. We claim no ownership over any content you input into the tool. Because all processing occurs locally in your browser, your data is never transmitted to us and remains entirely under your control.

All trademarks, service marks, and trade names used on the Service are the property of their respective owners. References to third-party products, services, or trademarks do not imply endorsement or affiliation.

Prohibited Activities

You agree not to engage in any of the following prohibited activities while using the Service:

  • Using the Service for any unlawful purpose or in violation of any local, state, national, or international law.
  • Attempting to gain unauthorized access to, interfere with, damage, or disrupt any part of the Service, its servers, or networks connected to the Service.
  • Introducing viruses, worms, malware, or any other malicious code into the Service.
  • Scraping, data mining, or otherwise attempting to extract data from the Service in an automated fashion without our consent.
  • Using the Service to process content that infringes upon the intellectual property rights or privacy rights of others.
  • Impersonating any person or entity, or falsely stating or misrepresenting your affiliation with a person or entity.
  • Reverse engineering, decompiling, or otherwise attempting to derive the source code of the Service, except to the extent permitted by applicable law.

Violations of these prohibitions may result in the termination of your access to the Service and may expose you to civil or criminal liability.

Third-Party Ads

The Service is supported by third-party advertising, including Google AdSense. We display advertisements to keep the Service free for all users. We do not control the specific ads that are shown and are not responsible for the content of any advertisement.

  • Third-party advertisers may use cookies and similar technologies to serve ads based on your prior visits to our site and other websites.
  • Your interactions with advertisements are governed by the respective advertiser's terms and privacy policy.
  • We do not endorse and are not responsible for any products, services, or claims made by third-party advertisers.
  • You may opt out of personalized advertising through your browser settings or via the ad provider's opt-out mechanisms.

For more information about how we handle data related to advertising, please review our Privacy Policy.

Disclaimer of Warranties

The Service is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or that it will produce accurate or reliable results at all times. You use the Service at your own risk, and you are solely responsible for any data processed using the Service. We recommend verifying all results independently, especially for critical or production use.

Any reliance on the Service is strictly at your own risk. For more details, please see our Disclaimer.

Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, in no event shall JSON Formatter, its owners, employees, or affiliates be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or exemplary damages arising out of or in connection with your use of, or inability to use, the Service.

This includes, without limitation, damages for loss of profits, data loss, business interruption, or any other commercial damages or losses, however caused and under any theory of liability, whether in contract, tort, or otherwise. Because the Service processes data locally in your browser, we have no access to your data and cannot be held responsible for any data loss or corruption.

You acknowledge that the limitation of liability provisions in these Terms are a fair and reasonable allocation of risk between the parties and are an essential basis of the bargain between us.

Changes to Terms

We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, provide notice on the Service. Your continued use of the Service after any changes take effect constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms.

We encourage you to review these Terms periodically to stay informed of any updates. If you do not agree to the revised Terms, you should stop using the Service.
