Terms of use

Last updated:

These terms govern your use of Word Aligner ("the tool", "the service", "we", "us"), a free, browser-based visualizer for word-by-word translations available at aligner.tinygods.dev. By using the tool, its example pages, its HTTP API, or its MCP server, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, do not use the service.

The service

The tool lets you align words across stacked lines of text, add gloss and IPA tiers, style the result, and export or share it. It is provided free of charge. There are no user accounts, and you do not need to register or provide an email address to use it. How data is handled is described in our privacy policy.

We may change, suspend, or discontinue any part of the service at any time, including the editor, the example pages, the API, and the MCP server, without notice and without liability to you.

Your content

You keep all rights to the text, translations, glosses, and other content you enter into the tool ("your content"). We do not claim ownership of it. Because the tool has no backend that stores your content, your content stays in your browser and in the share URLs and exports you choose to create.

You are responsible for your content. You represent that you have the necessary rights to the text you input and that your use of it, and of any diagram you create, share, or publish, does not infringe the rights of others or break any applicable law.

Uploaded fonts

The tool lets you upload custom font files for use in your visualization. These files are stored only in your browser and are embedded in some export formats (for example, self-contained HTML and SVG). You are responsible for holding the licenses required to use and to embed any font you upload and any font you redistribute inside an exported file. We do not provide font licenses and are not a party to your font licensing.

Acceptable use

You agree not to:

  • use the service in any way that breaks an applicable law or regulation;
  • attempt to disrupt, overload, or impair the service, its infrastructure, or its networks, including through automated requests beyond reasonable use;
  • probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of the service, or breach its security or authentication measures;
  • use the service to create or distribute content that is unlawful, infringing, or harmful to others;
  • misrepresent the source of an exported diagram in a way that violates the rights of others.

API and MCP server

The tool exposes a free HTTP API and an MCP server. They are provided for reasonable, good-faith use. We may apply rate limits, change the request and response formats, require attribution, or withdraw access at any time. You must not use the API or MCP server in a way that degrades the service for others. Output you generate through the API or MCP server is subject to the same rules as content created in the editor, including your responsibilities for your content and for any fonts you supply.

Intellectual property

The tool itself, including its software, design, text, and example pages, is owned by the author and protected by intellectual property laws. These terms do not grant you any right in the tool beyond using it as intended. The project's source code is published separately and is governed by the license stated in its repository; nothing here overrides that license.

Diagrams you export are yours to use. Exports may include a small attribution line referencing aligner.tinygods.dev; you may keep it or remove it as you see fit.

Third-party services and links

The tool loads third-party services (such as Google Fonts, Google Analytics, and the Tally feedback form) as described in the privacy policy. Your use of those services is governed by their own terms.

To help cover hosting costs, the tool may show partner or affiliate links to third-party products. If you follow such a link and use the service, we may receive a commission at no extra cost to you. These links do not change the price you pay, and we describe the products on their own merits. We are not responsible for third-party products, sites, or services, and listing a link is not an endorsement you should rely on without your own judgment.

Disclaimer of warranties

The service is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure, that exports or share URLs will always render correctly, or that any defect will be corrected. You use the service at your own risk and are responsible for keeping your own copies of anything you need to retain.

Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the author and operator of the service will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of data, work, or goodwill, arising out of or related to your use of, or inability to use, the service. The service is free, and to the extent any liability cannot be excluded, it is limited to the amount you paid to use the service, which is zero.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. When we do, the "Last updated" date above will be bumped and the change will be reflected in the project's repository history. Your continued use of the service after a change means you accept the updated terms.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Israel, where the operator resides, without regard to conflict-of-law rules, and the competent courts of Israel have jurisdiction over any dispute arising from them. Nothing in these terms removes any mandatory consumer rights you have under the law of your own country of residence.
