Terms of Use

1. Overview

These Terms of Use govern how you may use MeetMarkdown and its tools. They complement our Terms & Conditions and Privacy Policy. By using any MeetMarkdown tool, you agree to follow the rules set out here.

2. Permitted Use

You may use MeetMarkdown for any personal, educational, or commercial purpose that is lawful and consistent with these Terms of Use. All tools are free to use with no account required.

Examples of permitted use include:

• Writing, editing, and formatting markdown documents for personal or professional use.
• Exporting markdown as HTML, PDF, or image formats for distribution.
• Creating and exporting Mermaid diagrams for documentation, presentations, or publications.
• Converting web pages to markdown for personal archiving or offline reading.
• Embedding converted content in your own projects, documentation, or publications.

3. Prohibited Activities

The following activities are strictly prohibited when using MeetMarkdown:

3.1 Unlawful or Harmful Content

• Creating, processing, or distributing content that is unlawful, defamatory, fraudulent, obscene, harassing, threatening, or that infringes any third-party intellectual property rights.
• Using the Service to produce spam, phishing materials, malware, or any other malicious content.
• Generating content that constitutes illegal hate speech or incites violence against any person or group.

3.2 Infrastructure Abuse

• Attempting to gain unauthorised access to any part of the Service, its hosting infrastructure, or systems connected to the Service.
• Launching denial-of-service attacks or otherwise degrading the Service's availability for other users.
• Using automated bots, crawlers, or scrapers to access the Service in a way that places an excessive or unreasonable load on our infrastructure.
• Attempting to probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of the Service without explicit written authorisation from us.

3.3 Intellectual Property Violations

• Reproducing, distributing, modifying, or creating derivative works of any part of the Service — including its code, design, or branding — without our prior written consent, except where such use is expressly permitted by an applicable open-source licence.
• Using MeetMarkdown's name, logo, or trademarks in any way that implies endorsement, partnership, or affiliation without our written consent.
• Reverse engineering, decompiling, or disassembling any component of the Service that is not already publicly available as open-source code.

3.4 Misuse of the URL to Markdown Tool

• Fetching content from URLs where you do not have permission to do so, or where the target site's terms of service prohibit automated access.
• Using the tool to access paywalled, private, or confidential content in violation of the content owner's rights.

3.5 Misuse of Shareable Links & Embed Features

• Using shareable links or embed codes to distribute content that is unlawful, defamatory, obscene, harassing, threatening, or that infringes any third-party intellectual property rights.
• Creating shareable links containing malware, phishing content, executable code, or any material designed to harm recipients or their devices.
• Distributing shareable links containing child sexual abuse material (CSAM), non- consensual intimate imagery, content that incites terrorism or violence, or any other content that is illegal in your jurisdiction.
• Using the embed feature to display prohibited content on third-party websites.
• Generating shareable links at high volume for the purpose of spam, SEO manipulation, or automated content distribution.

4. Your Responsibility for Content

Because all tools process content locally within your browser, MeetMarkdown never sees, stores, or controls what you create. You bear sole responsibility for:

• Ensuring your content does not infringe copyright, trade secrets, or other IP rights.
• Complying with any confidentiality obligations before pasting sensitive content into our tools.
• The accuracy and legality of content you publish or distribute after using our tools.

The sole exception is the URL to Markdown tool, which makes a server-side request to fetch the URL you provide. We do not log or store the content retrieved — it is returned directly to your browser — but you are responsible for ensuring the fetch is lawful.

4A. Shareable Links & Embed Codes

Certain tools offer Share and Embed features that encode your content into a URL. It is important to understand:

• Content is encoded in the URL, not stored on our servers. Shared content exists entirely within the URL fragment (the portion after #). URL fragments are not transmitted to web servers. We do not and cannot maintain a database of shared links.
• We cannot moderate shared content. Because we never receive or store shared content, we have no technical ability to review, filter, modify, or remove it. MeetMarkdown functions solely as a client-side rendering engine for content provided in the URL.
• You are the publisher. When you generate and distribute a shareable link, you — not MeetMarkdown — are the publisher of that content. You assume full legal responsibility for any content you share, including liability for defamation, copyright infringement, privacy violations, or any other legal claim arising from the shared content.
• No expectation of persistence. Shareable links depend on the current version of MeetMarkdown's encoding format. We may change, update, or discontinue the encoding scheme at any time, which may render previously generated links unreadable. Shareable links are not a storage or archival service.

If you receive a shareable link containing content that you believe violates these Terms, applicable law, or your rights, please contact us at hello@meetmarkdown.com. While we cannot remove content from links already in circulation (as the content is embedded in the URL itself, not on our servers), we take reports seriously and will take any action within our technical capability, including disabling the sharing feature if necessary.

5. Copyright Compliance

If you believe that content made accessible via any MeetMarkdown feature infringes your copyright, please contact us at hello@meetmarkdown.com with:

• A description of the copyrighted work you claim has been infringed.
• The specific URL or feature where the alleged infringement occurs.
• Your contact information and a statement of good-faith belief.

We will respond to valid notices in accordance with applicable law.

6. Access Restriction

We reserve the right to restrict or block access to the Service — for any IP address, region, or usage pattern — at any time, without notice, if we reasonably believe the Service is being used in violation of these Terms of Use or our Terms & Conditions.

7. Changes

We may update these Terms of Use at any time. The “Last updated” date at the top reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of the Service after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance.
