01 Acceptance of these Terms
This website, xcodx.io, and the XCODX online editor, compiler, emulator, and related developer tools (together, the “Service”) are operated by the XCODX team (“XCODX”, “we”, “us”, or “our”).
By accessing or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service (the “Terms”) and by our Privacy Policy, Cookie Policy, Disclaimer, and Acceptable Use Policy, which are incorporated here by reference. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
If you use the Service on behalf of an organization, you confirm that you are authorized to accept these Terms for that organization.
02 The service we provide
XCODX is a browser-based development environment. It lets you write, edit, compile, preview, and run code across many languages and frameworks directly in your browser. Most of your work — your files, projects, settings, and history — is stored locally on your own device and is not uploaded to us. Some features (such as running certain languages, live preview, and package loading) send data to servers to work; these are described in our Privacy Policy.
The Service is provided free of charge and is supported by third-party advertising (see section 6). We may add, change, limit, suspend, or remove features, tools, languages, or the whole Service at any time, with or without notice. We are not obligated to maintain any particular feature, and we may set reasonable technical limits (for example, on execution time, request rate, or resource use) to keep the Service available and secure for everyone.
03 Eligibility
You may use the Service only if you can form a binding contract with us and are not barred from doing so under any applicable law. The Service is not directed to children under 13 (or under the minimum age required in your country, such as 16 in parts of the European Economic Area). If you are a minor in your jurisdiction, you may use the Service only with the involvement and consent of a parent or legal guardian.
04 Your code and content — and your responsibility
You keep all rights to the code, files, and other content you create, upload, paste, run, or test using the Service (“Your Content”). We do not claim ownership of Your Content.
You are solely and fully responsible for Your Content and for everything you do with the Service, including:
- The code you write, import, upload, execute, compile, or test — including its behaviour, safety, security, and any effect it has on your device, data, or others;
- Making sure you have the rights and licences to use any code, packages, libraries, assets, or content you bring into the Service;
- Backing up your work. Because projects are stored locally in your browser, clearing your browser data, using private/incognito mode, browser bugs, or device issues can permanently erase your projects. Export important work regularly;
- Complying with all applicable laws and regulations, and with the licences and terms of any third-party packages, APIs, or services you use through the Service.
To operate features you request, you grant us a limited, worldwide, royalty-free licence to process, transmit, compile, and temporarily host Your Content only as needed to provide those features to you (for example, sending code to our execution service so it can run, or to our preview service so it can render). This licence exists solely to run the Service for you and ends when the relevant processing is complete. We do not use Your Content to train models, and we do not sell it.
05 Acceptable use
You agree to use the Service lawfully and responsibly, and not to misuse it or the shared infrastructure that runs it. Prohibited activity includes using the Service to attack, overload, mine cryptocurrency, distribute malware, break into systems, infringe others’ rights, or host illegal content. The full list is in our Acceptable Use Policy, which forms part of these Terms. Violations may lead to rate-limiting, blocking, or termination of access (section 12).
06 Advertising
The Service is funded by advertising displayed through independent, third-party advertising networks and partners. You agree that:
- Advertisements are provided by those third parties, not by XCODX. We do not create, control, endorse, monitor, verify, or guarantee the content, accuracy, safety, legality, quality, or availability of any advertisement or of any product, service, or website it promotes;
- Any dealing or interaction with an advertiser — including any purchase, download, or communication — is solely between you and that advertiser. We are not a party to it and are not responsible for it;
- We are not responsible or liable for any loss, damage, claim, or dispute arising from advertisements, advertiser content, advertiser links, or transactions with advertisers;
- Advertising partners may use cookies and similar technologies to serve and measure ads, as described in our Cookie Policy and Privacy Policy. Where the law requires it, we ask for your consent before non-essential advertising cookies are set.
07 Third-party services, packages & links
The Service relies on and can connect to third-party infrastructure — for example, content-delivery networks and package registries that serve code libraries you request, and a code-execution engine that runs programs you write. The Service may also contain links to third-party websites and resources.
These third parties are outside our control and are governed by their own terms and privacy policies. We do not endorse and are not responsible for third-party services, packages, code, or websites, or for any harm arising from them. Loading and running third-party packages or code is done at your own risk.
08 Our intellectual property
The Service itself — including the XCODX name and logo, the website, the editor and its interface, the compiler and runtime pipeline, source code, design, graphics, text, and all related software and materials (excluding Your Content and third-party components) — is owned by XCODX or its licensors and is protected by intellectual-property laws. All rights are reserved.
We grant you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to access and use the Service for your own lawful development, educational, and productivity purposes, subject to these Terms. You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, rent, reverse-engineer, scrape, frame, or create derivative works from the Service or any part of it, except as expressly permitted by law or by us in writing. All feedback you send us may be used freely and without obligation.
09 The service is provided “as is” — no warranty
We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free; that results, output, compilation, or code execution will be accurate, complete, or reliable; that defects will be corrected; or that the Service or its infrastructure is free of bugs, vulnerabilities, or harmful components. You use the Service and rely on any output at your own risk. See our full Disclaimer. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties, so some of these exclusions may not apply to you.
10 Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, in no event will XCODX or its team, contributors, or suppliers be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of data, projects, profits, revenue, goodwill, or business, arising out of or relating to your use of (or inability to use) the Service — even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages. This includes damage caused by bugs, errors, downtime, service interruptions, data loss, code you or others run, third-party packages, or advertisements.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total aggregate liability for all claims relating to the Service is limited to the greater of (a) the total amount you paid us to use the Service in the twelve months before the claim (which, for a free service, is US $0), or (b) US $100.
Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law (such as, in some places, liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud). Where such laws apply, our liability is limited to the least the law allows.
11 Indemnification
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless XCODX and its team from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or connected with: (a) Your Content or your code; (b) your use or misuse of the Service; (c) your violation of these Terms or of any law; or (d) your violation of the rights of any third party.
12 Suspension and termination
You may stop using the Service at any time. We may suspend, restrict, or terminate your access to all or part of the Service at any time, with or without notice, if we reasonably believe you have violated these Terms or the Acceptable Use Policy, if your use poses a risk to the Service or others, or if required to protect the Service, comply with law, or respond to abuse.
Because your projects are stored locally on your device, terminating access does not delete work saved in your own browser. Sections that by their nature should survive termination — including ownership, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification, and governing law — will continue to apply.
13 Changes to these Terms and the Service
We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will change the “Last updated” date above and post the revised Terms on this page. Material changes take effect when posted. Your continued use of the Service after changes take effect means you accept the updated Terms. We may also modify or discontinue the Service, or any part of it, as described in section 2.
14 Governing law and disputes
These Terms and any dispute or claim arising out of or relating to them or the Service are governed by the laws of the United States of America, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. You agree that the courts located in that jurisdiction have exclusive jurisdiction, unless mandatory law in your country of residence gives you the right to bring proceedings, or requires them to be brought, elsewhere. Nothing here removes any mandatory consumer-protection rights you have where you live.
15 General
- Entire agreement. These Terms, together with the policies they reference, are the entire agreement between you and us about the Service and replace any earlier agreements on the subject.
- Severability. If any part of these Terms is found unenforceable, the rest stays in effect, and the unenforceable part is limited to the minimum extent necessary.
- No waiver. If we do not enforce a right, that is not a waiver of it.
- Assignment. You may not assign or transfer these Terms without our consent. We may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, or transfer of assets.
- Force majeure. We are not liable for delays or failures caused by events beyond our reasonable control.
- No third-party beneficiaries. These Terms do not create rights for anyone other than you and us.
