2. Description of Service

DevPost is a free, client-side web application that transforms technical content (README files, changelogs, pull request descriptions) into LinkedIn-style posts. The Service operates entirely within your web browser and does not transmit your content to external servers. The Service includes:

• Multiple output variants in different tones and styles
• Clipboard and download functionality for generated content
• Theme preferences (light/dark mode)

3. User Responsibilities

You agree to use DevPost only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms. You agree not to use the Service:

• To generate spam, malware, or content that violates any platform's terms of service
• To infringe upon the intellectual property rights of others
• To impersonate any person or entity
• To interfere with or disrupt the Service or servers or networks connected to the Service

4. Intellectual Property

Your Content: You retain all rights to the content you input into DevPost and the output generated from your input. DevPost does not claim ownership of your content. The transformation process is provided as a tool, and the resulting output belongs to you.

Our Service: DevPost, including its original content, features, functionality, and underlying software code, is owned by DevPost and is protected by international copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, or lease any part of our Service without our prior written consent.

5. Privacy

Your use of DevPost is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. Please review our Privacy Policy, which also describes how we handle information you provide to us. Key points:

• Your content is processed client-side and never sent to our servers
• We do not collect personal information unless you contact us
• We use localStorage for theme preferences and draft saving
• Third-party services (Google Fonts, Google AdSense) may collect limited data

6. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS. DEVPOST MAKES NO WARRANTIES, EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, OR COURSE OF PERFORMANCE. DEVPOST DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR SECURE.

7. Limitation of Liability

IN NO EVENT SHALL DEVPOST, ITS FOUNDERS, EMPLOYEES, OR AGENTS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, USE, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, RESULTING FROM (A) YOUR USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICE; (B) ANY UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS TO OR ALTERATION OF YOUR CONTENT; (C) ANY THIRD-PARTY CONDUCT OR CONTENT ON THE SERVICE; OR (D) ANY OTHER MATTER RELATING TO THE SERVICE.

9. Termination

We may terminate or suspend your access to the Service immediately, without prior notice or liability, for any reason, including without limitation if you breach these Terms. Upon termination, your right to use the Service will immediately cease. Since DevPost does not require accounts, termination means you may no longer access the Service at our domain.

10. Governing Law

These Terms shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of [Your Jurisdiction], without regard to its conflict of law provisions. Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not be considered a waiver of those rights. If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable by a court, the remaining provisions of these Terms will remain in effect.

11. Changes to Terms

We reserve the right to modify or replace these Terms at any time. If a revision is material, we will try to provide at least 30 days' notice prior to any new terms taking effect. What constitutes a material change will be determined at our sole discretion. By continuing to access or use our Service after those revisions become effective, you agree to be bound by the revised terms.

12. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable by a court, the remaining provisions of these Terms will remain in effect.
