IndieDevTool / Terms of Service
Terms of Service
Last updated: May 2026
These terms govern your use of IndieDevTool. We've kept them short and plain. By using the site or any of its tools, you agree to what's below.
Free use
The tools on this site are free to use. The math, calculators, and recommendations are intended to help indie developers think through decisions. They are estimates, not guarantees, and not financial or legal advice.
You can use the outputs of any calculator commercially in your own work: pricing decks, marketing plans, internal documents, anything. No attribution required.
"As is"
We provide the site and the tools "as is", without warranty of any kind. We try to keep things accurate and online, but we do not guarantee uptime, the correctness of any individual calculation, or the timeliness of any data sourced from third parties such as Steam.
Acceptable use
When using the site, please don't:
- Submit fake, malicious, or infringing Steam URLs
- Use the inquiry or notify forms to send spam or unsolicited communication
- Scrape or programmatically hammer the public APIs at high volume
- Attempt to access or interfere with the admin interface or backend
We reserve the right to block traffic that violates these rules.
Featured games (Today's Game)
The "Today's Game" slot on every tool page features one indie game per day. Days are filled either by editorial picks we curate ourselves, or by indie devs who request a date through the feature request page. If your game is featured:
- We will display your game on the booked date across all tool pages on IndieDevTool
- You agree your game's metadata, capsule image, and Steam link can be shown for that day
- We may send you a short reach summary (impressions, clicks) a few days after
Content review. We reserve the right to decline content that is sexually explicit, contains hate speech or harassment, infringes others' intellectual property, or otherwise harms the trust of our audience.
Future paid placements. We may introduce paid placements alongside editorial picks at a later date. When that happens, we will update these terms (with refund and cancellation policies) and notify the email list before any payment flows go live.
Intellectual property
The IndieDevTool name, logo, site code, and original written content on this site are ours. You may not copy or rebrand the site itself.
When you submit a Steam URL or game info to be featured, you grant us a limited, non-exclusive license to display that material on the site for the purpose of fulfilling that feature day.
Game logos, capsule art, screenshots, and trademarks remain the property of their respective owners. We display them under fair use and to the developers' benefit.
Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, IndieDevTool is not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the site or its tools. If a calculator produces an estimate that turns out to be wrong for your specific situation, we are not responsible for business decisions made on that basis.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Turkey. Any disputes that cannot be resolved by direct conversation will be handled in the courts of Istanbul, Turkey.
Changes
We may update these terms over time. The "Last updated" date at the top will reflect any changes. Continued use of the site after changes are posted constitutes acceptance.
