Terms of Use

The terms that apply when you use XOOC Tool Journal and its tool and home-improvement editorial content.

These Terms of Use govern access to xooc.com. By using the site, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, do not use the site.

Educational content

XOOC provides general editorial and educational information. It is not a substitute for manufacturer instructions, qualified trade services, code requirements, safety training, legal advice, or a site-specific assessment. Tools and home projects can create serious hazards. Conditions and product information can change.

No warranty

Content is provided “as is” and “as available.” We work to present useful, sourced information but do not warrant completeness, accuracy, uninterrupted availability, suitability for a particular project, or that an external offer remains available. Verify important information directly before acting.

Reader responsibility

You are responsible for choosing work within your ability, inspecting the work area, using suitable protective measures, following current instructions, obtaining permits or qualified help when needed, and deciding whether to purchase or use a product.

External and affiliate links

Third-party sites control their own products, transactions, availability, data handling, and terms. XOOC is not the seller. Some links may generate a commission when a qualifying transaction occurs. See the Affiliate Disclosure.

Intellectual property

Unless otherwise stated, the XOOC name, original logo, site design, original text, graphics, and organization are owned by or licensed to XOOC. You may link to public pages and quote short portions with clear attribution. You may not republish full articles, remove notices, scrape substantial portions, or imply sponsorship without written permission.

Acceptable use

Do not disrupt the site, probe security, transmit malware, submit unlawful material, impersonate another person, harvest contact information, or use the site in a way that violates law or third-party rights.

Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, XOOC and its contributors will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or losses arising from reliance on content, tool use, a home project, third-party services, or site unavailability. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so they may not apply to you.

Changes and contact

We may update these terms by posting a revised version with a new effective date. Questions may be sent to editor@xooc.com.
