Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of Terms

OpenedFile ("the Service"), at openedfile.com, is run by one individual, referred to in these Terms as "we", "us", or "our". By accessing or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, you may not use the Service. These Terms apply to all visitors, users, and others who access or use the Service.

We reserve the right to update or modify these Terms at any time without prior notice. Your continued use of the Service after any changes constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms. We encourage you to review these Terms periodically.

2. Description of Service

OpenedFile provides free tools that run in your web browser, along with articles about the file formats they handle. The tools open files that are hard to open without specific software — for example email files such as winmail.dat, MSG and EML, images such as HEIC and WebP, VCF contact files, LZH, ZIP, 7z and RAR archives, DocuWorks and Ichitaro documents, and hidden folder files such as Thumbs.db — to show their contents or to convert and save them in another format. Other tools create password-protected ZIP files, identify a file's format, and convert the character encoding of garbled CSV and text files.

All file processing is performed entirely within your web browser using client-side technologies. No files are uploaded to our servers. The Service is provided free of charge and may display advertising.

3. Use of the Service

You may use OpenedFile for both personal and commercial purposes, subject to the following conditions:

• You must not use the Service for any unlawful purpose or in violation of any applicable laws or regulations.
• You must not attempt to interfere with, compromise, or disrupt the Service or its underlying infrastructure.
• You must not attempt to reverse-engineer, decompile, or extract the source code of the Service, except as permitted by applicable law or by the licenses of the open-source components described in section 7.
• You must not use automated tools (bots, scrapers, etc.) to access the Service in a manner that could impair its performance or availability for other users.
• You are responsible for ensuring that you have the legal right to process any files you use with our tools.

4. Your Content and Files

You retain all ownership rights to the files you process using OpenedFile. Since all processing happens locally in your browser, we never have access to, possession of, or any rights to your files or their contents.

You are solely responsible for the files you process and the legality of their contents. We do not monitor, review, or control any files processed through our tools.

5. Disclaimer of Warranties

The Service is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis without warranties of any kind, either express or implied, including but not limited to:

• Warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose
• Warranties that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure
• Warranties regarding the accuracy, reliability, or completeness of conversion results
• Warranties that the Service will meet your specific requirements

We do not guarantee the accuracy or quality of file conversions. Conversion results may vary depending on file format, browser capabilities, and device specifications. You should always verify conversion results before relying on them for critical purposes. We recommend keeping the original files as backups.

6. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, OpenedFile and its operator shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including but not limited to loss of data, loss of profits, or business interruption, arising out of or related to your use of or inability to use the Service, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

In no event shall our total liability to you for all claims arising from or related to the Service exceed the amount you have paid us, if any, for using the Service during the twelve (12) months prior to the claim.

7. Intellectual Property

The Service, including its design, code, logos, and content (excluding user-processed files and the open-source components described below), is the intellectual property of OpenedFile's operator and is protected by applicable copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws.

Except for those open-source components, you may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, or lease any part of the Service or its underlying software without our prior written consent. The OpenedFile name and logo are trademarks of OpenedFile's operator and may not be used without permission.

The Service delivers to your browser, and uses, open-source software written by third parties and published under their own licenses — for example 7-Zip (GNU LGPL 2.1 or later, with the unRAR license restriction on its RAR decompression code), zip.js (BSD 3-Clause), ezpzfile (MIT), heic-to (GNU LGPL 3.0 or later), postal-mime (MIT-0), DOMPurify (MPL 2.0 or Apache 2.0) and JSZip (MIT or GPL 3.0 or later). Those components are provided under their own licenses, not under these Terms, and for those components their licenses prevail over these Terms. Nothing in these Terms restricts the rights those licenses give you; in particular, for components under the GNU LGPL, these Terms do not prevent you from modifying them for your own use or from reverse engineering to debug such modifications. The license texts: 7-Zip, zip.js, ezpzfile (DocuWorks), ezpzfile (Ichitaro), heic-to, postal-mime, DOMPurify, JSZip.

8. Third-Party Content and Advertising

The Service may display advertisements provided by third-party advertising networks, including Google AdSense. We are not responsible for the content, accuracy, or practices of third-party advertisers. Your interactions with advertisers are solely between you and the advertiser.

The Service may contain links to third-party websites. We are not responsible for the content, privacy practices, or policies of any third-party websites. Visiting linked websites is at your own risk.

9. Modification and Termination

We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue the Service (or any part of it) at any time, with or without notice, for any reason. We shall not be liable to you or any third party for any modification, suspension, or discontinuation of the Service.

We may also restrict or terminate your access to the Service if we believe you are violating these Terms or using the Service in a manner that could harm us or other users.

10. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless OpenedFile and its operator from any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable attorney's fees) arising from your use of the Service or your violation of these Terms.

11. Governing Law

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Japan, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. Any disputes arising from or relating to these Terms or the Service shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Japan.

12. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision shall be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that these Terms shall otherwise remain in full force and effect.
