Terms of Use

General rules and conditions for using the GigaCode website.

Last updated: April 2, 2026

Welcome to GigaCode

These Terms of Use set out the general rules and conditions for using the GigaCode website. By accessing and using this site, you agree to these terms in full, together with our Privacy Policy.

If you do not agree with any part of these terms, do not use the site. We may change these terms at any time; you are responsible for reviewing them periodically.

Acceptance

By accessing and using GigaCode, you state that you have read and accept these Terms of Use, the Privacy Policy, and applicable laws and regulations.

By accepting, you acknowledge that you will:

  • use the site lawfully and in good faith;
  • understand the limitations and responsibilities described herein;
  • agree to the rules regarding the content provided;
  • that use of the site is subject to the laws of the Federative Republic of Brazil, without prejudice to mandatory rules of your country where applicable.

Description of the service

GigaCode is a set of online tools for developers and technology professionals, offered predominantly free of charge. Features include, for example: formatters and validators (such as JSON, XML, SQL), converters, text and code utilities, in-browser image tools, and other pages described on the site.

Data processing

For most tools, the data you enter is processed locally in your browser (JavaScript), without your workspace content needing to be sent to external servers for that operation.

Some specific tools (for example server-side PDF generation from HTML or text) run on the server, using PHP and libraries indicated on each page. In those cases, content is used only to produce the requested file and deliver it to your browser, as described on the tool page and in the Privacy Policy. Do not enter unnecessary sensitive personal data.

Nature of the service

Content and tools are provided for informational, educational, and productivity purposes, without warranty of fitness for a particular purpose. They are intended for developers, students, technical teams, and others interested in formats and good practices.

The site may display advertising (for example through Google AdSense). Ads are from third parties; GigaCode does not fully control the promotional content shown.

Content use and intellectual property

Copyright

Text, graphics, page structure, code, and design of the GigaCode site are protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws, except where stated otherwise or third-party content is duly attributed.

Permitted use

You may:

  • use the tools for personal, educational, or professional purposes within what each tool technically allows;
  • share links to GigaCode pages;
  • mention the site in papers or articles with proper attribution.

Unauthorized use without permission

Without prior written permission (except as allowed by law), you may not:

  • copy, reproduce, or redistribute substantial texts, articles, or visual materials from the site;
  • perform scraping, automated copying, or mirroring that overloads or harms the service;
  • reuse the site’s code or design to create a competing product that misleadingly imitates GigaCode;
  • remove copyright or trademark notices;
  • use content in a way that violates third-party rights or applicable law.

Permissions and contact

For uses beyond what is permitted here, contact leojoaodev@gmail.com, stating purpose, pages involved, and intended duration. We will try to respond within a reasonable time, without obligation to approve.

When use is authorized, attribution such as Source: GigaCode with a link to the site’s home page is suggested.

Limitation of liability

Accuracy and availability

The site and tools are provided as is and as available. While we aim to keep information and algorithms useful and correct, we do not warrant that:

  • results are always accurate, complete, or suitable for your case;
  • the service will be uninterrupted or error-free;
  • defects will be fixed immediately;
  • the site or server is free of harmful components (use antivirus and safe practices).

Decisions and sensitive data

You are solely responsible for validating outputs (code, formats, PDFs, conversions) before use in production, contracts, security, or legal compliance. Do not rely on the site as the only source for critical decisions without independent verification.

Avoid processing sensitive personal data or trade secrets in the tools, especially those that process data on the server.

Disclaimer

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, GigaCode, its operators, and contributors will not be liable for direct, indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising from use or inability to use the site, including data loss, lost profits, or business interruption, except where the law requires otherwise.

User conduct

You agree to:

  • use the site lawfully and in accordance with these terms;
  • not attempt to breach security, gain unauthorized access, or harm availability;
  • not use bots or scripts in a way that degrades site performance or bypasses reasonable technical limits;
  • not introduce malware or unlawful content through available features.

Serious breaches may result in access blocking and legal action where appropriate.

External links and advertising

The site may link to third-party sites. We do not control or fully endorse those sites; access is at your risk, and you should read their applicable policies.

Ads (for example Google AdSense) are provided by third parties. GigaCode is not responsible for advertised products, services, or content, nor for transactions you enter into with advertisers.

Changes to terms and service

We may change these Terms of Use or site features at any time. The date at the top of this page shows the latest revision. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance of the then-current terms, unless the law provides otherwise.

Governing law and jurisdiction

These terms are governed by the laws of the Federative Republic of Brazil. For disputes, the courts at the operator’s domicile are chosen, without prejudice to mandatory consumer rights where strictly applicable.

The site seeks to align with references such as the LGPD (Law 13,709/2018), the Brazilian Civil Rights Framework for the Internet (Law 12,965/2014), the Consumer Defense Code where applicable, and copyright law (Law 9,610/1998), subject to legislative updates.
