Terms and Conditions

Switchboard provides browser-based utilities for converting and working with documents, images, data formats, developer tools, and text. The conversion logic is designed to run locally in your browser. The Service is free to use and does not require an account.

You may use Switchboard for personal, educational, and commercial purposes, provided that your use complies with these Terms and all applicable laws.

Your files, text, and other converter inputs remain yours. We do not claim ownership over them simply because you use Switchboard.

You are responsible for the content you process and for confirming that you have the right to use it. Do not use Switchboard to process, publish, or distribute material that infringes another person's privacy, intellectual-property rights, confidentiality obligations, or other legal rights.

Switchboard is a practical tool, not a substitute for professional review. You must check important output before relying on it. File conversions, OCR, parsing, encoding, formatting, hash generation, and other processes can produce unexpected or inaccurate results depending on the source material, format, device, browser, and software version.

Switchboard may save tool preferences, recent activity, and last inputs locally in your browser. That data can disappear if you clear browser data, use private browsing, change devices, remove the installed app, reset your browser, or encounter a device issue. We cannot restore local data because it is not stored on our servers.

If a tool creates a shareable URL containing encoded state, you are responsible for checking it before sharing. Do not include confidential, private, sensitive, or identifying content in a link that may be seen by others.

Switchboard is provided free of charge on an "as is" and "as available" basis. We aim to keep the Service useful, quick, and private, but we do not promise that it will always be available, uninterrupted, error-free, secure, compatible with every device, or suitable for every purpose.

We may update, add, remove, pause, or discontinue any tool, feature, route, or part of the Service at any time. We are not required to maintain a particular converter, output format, version, or browser-storage structure indefinitely.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, VextoApps disclaims all warranties, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise. This includes warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, availability, non-infringement, compatibility, and accuracy.

Nothing in these Terms excludes, restricts, or modifies any rights or remedies that cannot lawfully be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law or other applicable consumer-protection laws.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, VextoApps will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive loss or damage arising from or connected with your use of, or inability to use, the Service.

This includes loss of files, local browser data, snippets, settings, business opportunities, profits, goodwill, reputation, or data; errors in generated output; formatting differences across third-party software; and loss caused by a third-party service, device, browser, network, or platform.

Where liability cannot lawfully be excluded, it is limited to the minimum extent permitted by law.

The Switchboard name, logo, website design, copy, and other original materials in the Service are owned by or licensed to VextoApps and are protected by applicable intellectual-property laws. You may not use these materials in a way that suggests endorsement by VextoApps without prior written permission.

The Switchboard codebase is available under the MIT Licence. Your rights to use, copy, modify, and distribute code covered by that licence are governed by its terms. These Terms do not take away any rights the MIT Licence gives you.

Switchboard may refer to third-party platforms, file formats, libraries, or services to describe compatible tools. Those names belong to their respective owners. A reference does not mean Switchboard is affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or approved by that third party.

The Service may link to external websites, including GitHub and Buy Me a Coffee. External sites operate under their own terms and privacy policies. We are not responsible for their content, availability, or practices.
