Terms of Service

Last updated: December 2024

Acceptance of Terms

Welcome to CSV Splitter. By accessing or using our website and services, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and CSV Splitter governing your use of our CSV file splitting and merging tool. If you do not agree to these Terms, you should not use our service.

We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. When we make changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Your continued use of CSV Splitter after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the modified Terms. We encourage you to review these Terms periodically to stay informed about your rights and obligations.

Description of Service

CSV Splitter is a free, web-based tool that allows users to split large CSV (Comma-Separated Values) files into smaller files and merge multiple CSV files into a single file. The service operates entirely within your web browser using client-side JavaScript, meaning your files are processed locally on your device and never uploaded to our servers. We provide this service "as is" without any warranties or guarantees regarding performance, availability, or fitness for any particular purpose.

Our service includes various features designed for email marketers and data professionals, including progressive splitting (where file sizes increase by a specified percentage), even splitting (dividing files into equal parts), dual-file merging with configurable strategies, data randomization, and custom filename assignment. These features are provided to enhance your data management workflows, but their suitability for your specific needs is your responsibility to determine.

User Responsibilities

You are solely responsible for the CSV files you process using our tool and for ensuring that your use of CSV Splitter complies with all applicable laws and regulations. This includes but is not limited to data protection laws such as GDPR, CCPA, CAN-SPAM, and other privacy regulations that may govern how you collect, store, and use contact information. You represent and warrant that you have all necessary rights and permissions to process the data contained in your CSV files.

You agree not to use CSV Splitter for any unlawful purpose or in any way that could damage, disable, overburden, or impair our service. You must not attempt to gain unauthorized access to any part of our service, other users' data, or computer systems or networks connected to our service. You agree not to use automated systems or software to extract data from our website for commercial purposes without our express written permission.

When using CSV Splitter for email marketing purposes, you are responsible for ensuring compliance with anti-spam laws and regulations. This includes obtaining proper consent from recipients before sending marketing emails, providing clear unsubscribe mechanisms, and honoring opt-out requests promptly. CSV Splitter is a tool for managing contact lists, but we are not responsible for how you use those lists or for any violations of email marketing regulations you may commit.

Intellectual Property Rights

All content, features, and functionality of CSV Splitter, including but not limited to text, graphics, logos, button icons, images, audio clips, digital downloads, data compilations, and software, are the exclusive property of CSV Splitter or its licensors and are protected by international copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret, and other intellectual property laws.

You are granted a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to access and use CSV Splitter for your personal or business purposes. This license does not include any right to copy, modify, distribute, sell, or lease any part of our service, nor does it include any right to reverse engineer or attempt to extract the source code of our software, except to the extent that such restrictions are prohibited by applicable law.

You retain all rights to the CSV files you process using our tool. We do not claim any ownership or intellectual property rights over your data. Since all processing occurs locally in your browser and we never receive or store your files, we have no access to your data and make no claims to it. Your files remain your property at all times.

Disclaimer of Warranties

CSV Splitter is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis without warranties of any kind, either express or implied. We disclaim all warranties, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that our service will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free, or that defects will be corrected.

We make no warranties about the accuracy, reliability, completeness, or timeliness of the content, software, text, graphics, tools, or communications provided through our service. We do not warrant that the files generated by CSV Splitter will be accurate, complete, or suitable for your intended purpose. You are responsible for verifying the output of our tool and ensuring it meets your requirements before using it for any critical purpose.

While we implement reasonable security measures to protect our website infrastructure, we cannot guarantee that our service is completely secure or free from viruses, malware, or other harmful components. You are responsible for implementing appropriate security measures on your own devices and for backing up your data before processing it through our tool. We are not responsible for any damage to your computer system or loss of data that may result from using our service.

Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, CSV Splitter and its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, and licensors shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including but not limited to loss of profits, data, use, goodwill, or other intangible losses, resulting from your access to or use of or inability to access or use our service.

This limitation applies regardless of the legal theory on which the claim is based, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability, or otherwise, and even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain warranties or the limitation or exclusion of liability for incidental or consequential damages. Accordingly, some of the limitations above may not apply to you.

In no event shall our total liability to you for all damages, losses, and causes of action exceed the amount you have paid us in the past twelve months, or one hundred dollars ($100), whichever is greater. This limitation of liability is a fundamental element of the basis of the bargain between you and CSV Splitter, and our service would not be provided without such limitations.

Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless CSV Splitter and its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, and licensors from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, expenses, or fees (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from your use of our service, your violation of these Terms, your violation of any rights of another party, or your violation of any applicable laws or regulations.

This indemnification obligation includes but is not limited to claims arising from your use of CSV Splitter to process contact lists in violation of anti-spam laws, data protection regulations, or third-party rights. If you use our tool to manage email marketing campaigns and face legal action related to those campaigns, you agree to indemnify us against any resulting claims, damages, or expenses.

Third-Party Services and Links

CSV Splitter may contain links to third-party websites or services that are not owned or controlled by us. We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party websites or services. We do not warrant the offerings of any of these entities or individuals or their websites.

Our service integrates with third-party services such as Google Analytics and Google AdSense. These services have their own terms of service and privacy policies that govern their use. By using CSV Splitter, you acknowledge and agree that we shall not be responsible or liable, directly or indirectly, for any damage or loss caused or alleged to be caused by or in connection with the use of or reliance on any such content, goods, or services available on or through any such third-party websites or services.

Termination

We reserve the right to terminate or suspend your access to CSV Splitter immediately, without prior notice or liability, for any reason whatsoever, including without limitation if you breach these Terms. Upon termination, your right to use our service will immediately cease. All provisions of these Terms which by their nature should survive termination shall survive, including without limitation ownership provisions, warranty disclaimers, indemnity, and limitations of liability.

You may discontinue using CSV Splitter at any time. Since our service does not require account creation and processes all files locally in your browser, termination simply means ceasing to access our website. Any data stored in your browser's local storage or cookies can be cleared through your browser settings.

Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the United States, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or your use of CSV Splitter shall be resolved through binding arbitration in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association, except that either party may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction.

You agree that any arbitration or legal proceeding shall be conducted on an individual basis and not as a class action or representative action. You waive any right to participate in a class action lawsuit or class-wide arbitration against CSV Splitter. If any provision of this arbitration agreement is found to be unenforceable, the remainder shall continue in full force and effect.

Severability

If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, such provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid, legal, and enforceable while preserving its intent. If such modification is not possible, the provision shall be severed from these Terms, and the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.

Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and CSV Splitter regarding your use of our service and supersede all prior and contemporaneous understandings, agreements, representations, and warranties, both written and oral, regarding such subject matter. No waiver of any term of these Terms shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or any other term.
