1. Service Description

Acken Tools is a collection of free, browser-based utility tools covering text manipulation, PDF processing, image conversion, SEO utilities, schema markup generation, calculators, developer tools, and more. All tools run entirely in your web browser — no server-side processing of your data occurs. The service is provided free of charge, supported by display advertising on the production domain.

2. Acceptance of Terms

These Terms of Service constitute a legally binding agreement between you and Acken Tools. By accessing any page on https://acken.com.ng, you confirm that you are at least 13 years of age and have the legal capacity to enter into this agreement. Use of the site on behalf of a business entity constitutes acceptance on behalf of that entity.

3. Permitted Use

All tools are provided free of charge for personal and professional use. You may use the tools for any lawful purpose, including commercial projects, provided that you comply with these terms. There is no restriction on the volume of use, and no account is required.

4. Prohibited Use

You agree not to use Acken Tools to:

  • Violate any applicable local, national, or international law or regulation.
  • Infringe the intellectual property rights, privacy rights, or other rights of any person or entity.
  • Upload or process content that is illegal, harmful, threatening, abusive, harassing, defamatory, or otherwise objectionable.
  • Attempt to gain unauthorised access to any part of the site's infrastructure.
  • Introduce malicious code, viruses, or any software intended to damage or disrupt the site.
  • Scrape, crawl, or automate requests to the site in a manner that imposes an unreasonable load on its servers or infrastructure.
  • Misrepresent the origin or accuracy of tool outputs in any way that causes harm to others.

5. No Account Required

No account or registration is required to use any tool on this site. All tools are freely accessible to any visitor with a compatible web browser. We reserve the right to block access to users or IP addresses who violate these terms.

6. Accuracy of Tool Outputs

While we make every effort to ensure the accuracy of our tools, tool outputs are provided for informational and convenience purposes only. Results from calculators (including tax, financial, health, and unit conversion tools) are estimates and should not be relied upon as the sole basis for professional, financial, medical, or legal decisions. See our Disclaimer for full details on tool accuracy.

7. Tool Output Ownership

Any content you input into a tool remains yours. Any output generated by a tool from your input (converted files, formatted text, generated code, calculated results) belongs to you. We make no claim of ownership over the content you process using our tools or the outputs those tools produce.

8. Intellectual Property

The design, source code, branding, and original content of Acken Tools are owned by or licensed to us and are protected by applicable intellectual property laws. You may not reproduce, redistribute, reverse-engineer, or create derivative works of the site's design or code without our prior written permission. Tool outputs generated by the tools (as described in Section 7) are exempt from this restriction.

9. Third-Party Services

The site uses Google Analytics and Google AdSense on the production domain. These services are governed by Google's own terms and privacy policies, which are independent of ours. We are not responsible for Google's data collection practices. For more information on how Google uses data from sites that use their services, visit policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

The site may be temporarily unavailable due to maintenance, updates, or circumstances beyond our control (including hosting outages or Cloudflare service disruptions). We will not be liable for any loss or inconvenience resulting from unavailability of the service.

11. Disclaimer of Warranties

All tools are provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, either express or implied, including but not limited to implied warranties of fitness for a particular purpose, merchantability, accuracy, or reliability. Your use of the tools is entirely at your own risk.

12. Limitation of Liability

This includes, without limitation, loss of data, profits, goodwill, or business opportunities.

13. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Acken Tools and its operators from any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, or expenses (including legal fees) arising from your use of the site, your violation of these Terms of Service, or your infringement of any third-party rights.

14. Governing Law

These Terms of Service are governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Any disputes arising from these terms or your use of the site shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Nigeria, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.

15. Severability

If any provision of these Terms of Service is found to be unenforceable or invalid under applicable law, that provision shall be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.
