3. Intellectual Property & User Content Ownership
You retain 100% ownership and copyright over your files: Any photographs, graphics, PDF documents, text, audio recordings, or other materials you process through our utilities remain your exclusive property. Because all processing executes locally in your browser memory without uploading to our servers, BWTools.uk does not claim, acquire, or license any rights to your content.
All website logos, brand identities, custom software scripts, styling, design assets, and editorial copy are the intellectual property of Jon Butterworth / BW Tools and are protected under UK and international copyright laws.

When using BWTools.uk, you agree NOT to:
- Use the utilities to generate, store, or process illegal, abusive, defamatory, or infringing materials.
- Attempt to disrupt, overload, or impair the security or infrastructure of the Website (including denial-of-service attacks).
- Circumvent or tamper with client-side security measures or advertising displays.
- Utilize automated crawlers, bots, or scrapers in an abusive manner that degrades website accessibility for other human visitors.
5. Disclaimer of Warranties
The tools and information on BWTools.uk are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis, without warranties of any kind, whether express, statutory, or implied, including but not limited to the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.
While our utilities are built with industry-standard client-side libraries and tested across leading browsers, we do not warrant that tool performance will be completely error-free or uninterrupted, or that client-side outputs will meet your exact specific requirements when working with corrupted, unsupported, or extremely large input files.
6. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event shall Jon Butterworth, BW Tools, or its affiliates be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, punitive, or consequential damages (including, without limitation, loss of data, loss of business revenue, or work interruption) arising out of or in connection with your use or inability to use the tools on this Website.

BWTools.uk may display third-party advertisements served by networks such as Google AdSense. We do not endorse or make any representations concerning any third-party products, services, or websites promoted in these advertisements.
