Terms of Service

Last updated: August 2026

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing and using Online Ruler (the “Service”), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree with any part of these terms, please do not use the tool.

2. Measurement Accuracy & Disclaimer

Online Ruler provides virtual on-screen measurement tools designed for everyday utility, crafting, hobbyist sizing, and UI design references.

Important Disclaimer: Screen measurement precision depends on user calibration, display hardware characteristics, operating system scaling, and browser zoom levels. Do not rely on screen rulers for mission-critical, surgical, aeronautical, architectural construction, or high-tolerance industrial engineering applications where certified calibrated steel calipers or micrometers are legally required.

3. Privacy & Local Operation

The Service runs 100% client-side in your web browser. No measurement dimensions, coordinates, or device telemetry are transmitted to our servers or third parties. Calibration preferences are stored purely in your browser's local storage.

4. Intellectual Property

All code, interfaces, visual styling, diagrams, and educational text on Online Ruler are protected by applicable intellectual property laws. You may use this tool freely for personal and commercial measurement purposes.
