Terms of Use

Last updated 2 September 2026

1. Who these terms are with

This site is operated by CitiIT Limited, trading as dPaul Software, registered in England and Wales under company number 15811174, registered office C/O SG Accounting, 1 Cedar Office Park, Cobham Road, Wimborne, BH21 7SB, United Kingdom, VAT number 473 5892 49. Contact: david@dpaul.studio.

"We" and "us" mean that company. "You" means anyone using the site or the tools on it.

2. Using the site means accepting these terms

By using dpaul-software.uk or any tool on it, you agree to these terms. If you don't agree with them, don't use the tools.

We may update these terms. The version published here is the one that applies, and the date at the top tells you when it last changed.

3. The tools are free, and provided as they are

Everything here is offered free of charge, with no account and no subscription. That's deliberate, and it also sets your expectations: there is no service level, no uptime guarantee, and no support commitment. Tools may change, break, or be withdrawn at any time without notice.

To the fullest extent the law allows, the tools are provided "as is" and "as available", with no warranties of any kind — express or implied — including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, or non-infringement.

4. Your files are your responsibility

The tools run inside your browser and act on files on your own device. We never receive those files, which also means we can never recover them.

Keep a backup of anything you care about before running it through a tool. Verify the output before relying on it. Don't use these tools as the only copy of anything important.

5. Bring your own API key: the tts tool

The tts tool requires you to supply an API key from a third-party speech provider. When you do:

• The key is stored locally on your device. We never receive it, and securing it is down to you.
• Your text goes directly from your browser to that provider. We are not a party to that exchange, we do not see the text, and we have no control over how the provider handles it.
• You are responsible for everything you send. That includes making sure you have the right to use the content, that it's lawful, and that it complies with your provider's own terms and acceptable use policy.
• All charges, usage fees, rate limits, suspensions, and disputes arising from your key are between you and your provider.

We accept no liability for your use of a third-party service, for costs incurred on your account, or for any consequence of what you choose to submit through it.

6. What you must not do

• Use the tools for anything unlawful, or to process material you have no right to process.
• Attempt to disrupt, overload, or gain unauthorised access to the site or its hosting.
• Copy, redistribute, resell, or host the tools as your own, or strip out branding and attribution.
• Reverse engineer or decompile the software, except where that right cannot lawfully be excluded.
• Use automated systems to scrape or bulk-download the site beyond ordinary use.

7. Who owns what

The site, its source code, design, logos, the dPaul name, and the tools themselves are owned by us or licensed to us, and are protected by copyright and other intellectual property rights. Nothing here transfers any of that to you. You get permission to use the tools for their intended purpose, and nothing more.

Anything you create with a tool remains entirely yours. We claim no rights over your files or output.

Some components may be third-party open-source software carrying their own licences, which continue to apply on their own terms.

8. Limits on our liability

Nothing in these terms limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for anything else that cannot lawfully be limited. If you're using the tools as a consumer, your statutory rights are unaffected.

Subject to that, and to the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for:

• loss or corruption of data, files, or output;
• loss of profit, business, revenue, goodwill, or anticipated savings;
• any indirect or consequential loss;
• costs or losses arising from a third-party service you connect to a tool, including API charges;
• decisions you make on the basis of a tool's output.

Because the tools are supplied free of charge, our total liability to you for all claims arising out of your use of the site is limited to £100.

9. Other sites we link to

Links to other websites, including clever-clog.com, are provided for convenience. Those sites are governed by their own terms and privacy policies, and we're not responsible for their content or practices.

10. Privacy

How we handle data is set out in our privacy policy, which forms part of these terms.

11. General

If any part of these terms is found unenforceable, the rest continues to apply. Not enforcing a term straight away doesn't mean we've given it up. Only you and we have rights under these terms — no third party may enforce them.

12. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction. If you're a consumer resident elsewhere in the UK, you may bring proceedings in your own jurisdiction.
