Terms of Use

1. Acceptance

By opening this site and using the converter, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the site. These terms apply to every page on krutidev-unicode.com, including the tool pages, guides and this document itself.

2. What the service is

This site is a free, browser-based converter between Kruti Dev 010 text and Unicode Devanagari. It is provided as a convenience for people handling legacy Hindi documents. There is no paid tier, no subscription, no account and no service-level agreement. We may add, remove or change features at any time, and we may suspend the site for maintenance without notice.

3. No warranty of accuracy

Text conversion is a mechanical process, but it is not perfect. Kruti Dev 011 and 016 documents may contain glyphs on different code positions, and the reverse direction can produce a letter sequence that differs from what a Kruti Dev typist would have typed by hand. Always check important output against the source document before you file, print or submit it. The site is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose and accuracy for official use.

4. Your text stays yours

You keep all rights to the text you paste and to the converted output. We do not claim ownership over either. Because conversion runs in your browser, we never receive a copy of your document. You are responsible for making sure you have the right to process and distribute the text.

5. Acceptable use

You may use the site for personal, academic, editorial, government and commercial document work. You may not:

• use it for unlawful purposes, including the conversion of material that is illegal to possess or distribute;
• attack, overload or attempt to break the service, or probe it for vulnerabilities without permission;
• scrape the site automatically in a way that degrades service for other visitors;
• present this site, or a copy of it, as your own product in a way that misleads users about who operates it.

Ordinary manual use, including teaching, office work and typing practice, is always welcome and needs no permission.

6. Intellectual property

The pages, layout and written explanations on this site are the work of the site operator and are protected by copyright. You may link to any page and quote short passages with attribution; you may not republish whole pages as your own content.

Kruti Dev is a legacy font name belonging to its respective developers. This site is independent and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by the font's authors or publishers. The name is used descriptively, to identify the character set being converted.

The conversion table used here is derived from the open-source package @bharattype/hindi-transliteration v1.0.1, released under the MIT License, and the required copyright notice is kept in the source file. The MIT licence permits reuse and modification; it does not grant any rights over the Kruti Dev font itself.

7. No professional advice

Nothing on this site is legal, academic, examination or typography advice. Converting a document does not make it compliant with any court, board or university formatting rule. If a submission has strict requirements, confirm them with the office or institution that receives it.

8. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the site operator is not liable for any direct, indirect, incidental or consequential loss arising from use of the site or from reliance on its output — including lost marks, rejected filings, printing costs, lost data or lost business. This limitation applies whether the claim arises in contract, tort or otherwise, and it survives even if a remedy fails its essential purpose.

9. Indemnity

If your use of the site causes a claim against the operator — for example because you converted or distributed material you had no right to use — you agree to indemnify the operator against reasonable costs and damages arising from that claim.

10. Third-party links and services

The site may link to external pages and may display third-party advertising. Those services are controlled by their own operators and governed by their own terms and privacy policies. We are not responsible for their content, availability or practices.

11. Availability

The site is hosted on a third-party static hosting platform and depends on your browser supporting modern JavaScript. We do not guarantee uninterrupted access, and we do not offer support for browsers that cannot run the page.

12. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of India. Any dispute that cannot be settled informally will be subject to the jurisdiction of the competent courts in India. If any provision is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in force.

13. Changes to these terms

These terms may be updated to reflect changes in the service or in the law. The revised version takes effect when it is published on this page, and the date at the top will change. Continued use after publication means you accept the revised terms.

14. Contact

Questions about these terms can be sent through the contact page. For how data is handled, see the privacy policy.
