EncryptCodecTerms of Service
Last updated: August 2026
1. Acceptance of these Terms
These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of encryptcodec.com (the "site"), operated by EncryptCodec ("we", "us", or "our"). By accessing or using the site, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.
2. What the site is
The site has two parts: • A free, browser-based security learning platform — interactive attack simulations, scored educational games, cryptography and developer tools, and a blog. All of it runs in your browser. • A software studio — pages describing our work building business applications, with a form to contact us. The site is provided free of charge and requires no account.
3. Free access — no accounts
All simulations, games, and tools are free and available without registration. There are no user accounts, logins, passwords, paid plans, subscriptions, or API keys. Any progress (such as scores or streaks) is stored only in your own browser and is not tied to an account.
4. Educational purpose and acceptable use
The simulations, tools, and articles are provided for education and lawful security work. The simulations demonstrate attacks against fictional, locally generated targets inside your browser; they exist so you can learn how vulnerabilities work and how to defend against them. You agree to use the site, its tools, and anything you learn from it only lawfully and ethically. In particular, you must not use the site, its tools, or techniques learned here to access, attack, test, or disrupt any system, network, account, or data that you do not own or are not explicitly authorized to test. You are solely responsible for ensuring you have permission before applying these techniques anywhere. You also agree not to misuse the site itself — for example, by attempting to disrupt or overload it, probe it for vulnerabilities without permission, scrape it at scale, or abuse the contact form.
5. Tools are provided as-is
The cryptography and developer tools run in your browser and are provided for convenience and learning. They are provided "as is", without warranty of any kind. Do not rely on them as your sole safeguard for production secrets, keys, or security-critical decisions without independent verification. You are responsible for how you use their output.
6. Third-party services
Some tools call third-party public APIs directly from your browser — for example Have I Been Pwned, Google Public DNS, RDAP, and Google PageSpeed Insights. When you use those tools, your use of the third-party service is also subject to that provider's terms. We do not control those services and are not responsible for them.
7. Studio enquiries
The studio pages let you contact us about custom software. Submitting the contact form is a request for information only — it does not create any contract, engagement, or obligation on either side. Any project we take on would be governed by a separate written agreement.
8. Intellectual property
The site and its content — including the design, code, simulations, games, tools, and blog articles — are owned by EncryptCodec or its licensors and are protected by intellectual-property laws. You may use the site for your own personal and educational purposes and share links to it. You may not copy, republish, resell, redistribute, or create derivative works from the content or code except as expressly permitted or with our prior written consent. Any third-party or open-source components remain subject to their own licenses.
9. Disclaimer of warranties
The site is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the site will be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free, or that any tool output is accurate, complete, or suitable for your purposes.
10. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, EncryptCodec and its operators will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of data, profits, or goodwill, arising out of or relating to your use of (or inability to use) the site, its tools, or its content — even if advised of the possibility of such damages. Because the site is provided free of charge, our total liability to you for any claim is limited to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.
11. Changes to the site and these Terms
We may change, suspend, or discontinue any part of the site at any time without notice. We may also update these Terms; when we do, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Your continued use of the site after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
12. Governing law
These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of India, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. Any disputes arising from these Terms or your use of the site will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the competent courts located in India.
