Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of Terms

Welcome to KrutiDev Converter, accessible at krutidev.net. By accessing or using this website and its tools, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). These Terms apply to all visitors, users, and others who access or use the service. If you disagree with any part of these Terms, you may not use the service.

These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and KrutiDev Converter with respect to your use of the service and supersede any prior agreements. We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. Changes will be effective immediately upon posting to the website, and your continued use of the service constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

2. Description of Service

KrutiDev Converter is a free, browser-based utility that converts text encoded in the Kruti Dev 010 legacy Hindi font format into Unicode Devanagari, and converts Unicode Devanagari text back into Kruti Dev 010 encoding. The conversion is performed entirely within the user's web browser using client-side JavaScript. No text is transmitted to or stored on any server.

The service is provided free of charge and without registration. We may display advertisements on the site via Google AdSense, which helps us cover the costs of maintaining and improving the tool. The service is intended to assist users in accessing and migrating legacy Hindi-language digital content, including documents created in older desktop publishing systems, typewriters, and word processors that used Kruti Dev font encoding.

We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue the service (or any part of it) at any time, with or without notice. We shall not be liable to you or any third party for any modification, suspension, or discontinuation of the service.

3. Permitted Use of the Service

KrutiDev Converter may be used for both personal and commercial purposes. You are welcome to use the tool to convert Hindi text for your own projects, for your clients, for publishing, for data migration, for archiving, or for any other lawful purpose without needing to seek our permission or pay any fee.

However, you agree not to use the service for any unlawful purpose or in any way that violates applicable local, national, or international law or regulation. Prohibited uses include but are not limited to: converting text that infringes on the intellectual property rights of others, using the tool to facilitate fraud or deception, or attempting to reverse-engineer, scrape, or automate the tool in ways that place unreasonable load on our servers or degrade the experience for other users.

You also agree not to attempt to circumvent, disable, or interfere with security-related features of the website. Any systematic or automated access to the site for purposes other than personal or professional use of the conversion tool requires our prior written consent.

4. Disclaimer of Warranties

The KrutiDev Converter service is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis without any warranties of any kind, either express or implied. We make no warranty that the service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or completely accurate in all cases.

The Kruti Dev encoding standard contains numerous regional variations, custom glyph mappings, and edge cases that have evolved over decades of use in Indian printing and publishing. While our converter handles the full standard Kruti Dev 010 character set and attempts to address common variations, we cannot guarantee perfect conversion accuracy for every possible input, particularly text that uses non-standard or customized Kruti Dev font variants.

Users are strongly advised to verify the accuracy of any converted text before using it in official, legal, medical, financial, or other high-stakes documents. We accept no responsibility for errors in conversion that result from non-standard inputs, font variations, or limitations in our character mapping algorithm.

5. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, KrutiDev Converter, its owners, operators, and contributors shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages — including but not limited to loss of profits, data, goodwill, or other intangible losses — arising out of or in connection with your use or inability to use the service, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

In no event shall our total liability to you for all claims arising out of or relating to the use of or inability to use the service exceed the amount you have paid us in the twelve months preceding the claim, which in most cases will be zero, as the service is provided free of charge.

6. Intellectual Property

The website design, source code, user interface, written content, and other creative elements of KrutiDev Converter are the intellectual property of KrutiDev Converter and its developers. You may not copy, reproduce, distribute, or create derivative works from the site's design or code without explicit written permission.

The Kruti Dev font encoding standard itself — that is, the mapping of ASCII characters to Devanagari glyphs used in the Kruti Dev typeface family — is a widely used public domain convention that has been in use in the Indian printing industry for decades. We make no proprietary claim over the encoding standard or the character mappings used in the conversion algorithm.

7. Third-Party Links and Services

Our website may contain links to third-party websites or services, including links within advertisements served by Google AdSense. These links are provided for convenience and do not constitute an endorsement of the linked sites or their content. We have no control over the content, privacy policies, or practices of third-party websites and accept no responsibility for them. We encourage you to review the terms and privacy policies of any third-party sites you visit.

8. Governing Law

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of India, without regard to conflict of law provisions. Any disputes arising under these Terms shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the competent courts located in India. If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.
