Terms of Service

Last updated: November 11, 2026

Summary. ShareKodigo is a free, browser-based code editor that you use at your own risk. There are no accounts: anyone with a room link can view and edit that room. Rooms are deleted automatically 30 days after the last visit and cannot be recovered, so keep your own copies. You keep ownership of your code, but you give us the permissions we need to run the Service. We provide the Service "as is", we may change or stop it at any time, and our liability is limited to the maximum extent permitted by law. Disputes are handled individually, not as class actions, where the law allows. This summary is for convenience only; the full Terms below are what apply.

Operator: [OPERATOR LEGAL NAME], [ADDRESS], [COUNTRY / JURISDICTION]. Contact: support@sharekodigo.dev.

1. Acceptance of these Terms

These Terms of Service ("Terms") form a binding agreement between you and [OPERATOR LEGAL NAME] ("we", "us" or "our") and govern your use of ShareKodigo, available at sharekodigo.dev, together with all related pages, features and tools (the "Service").

By opening, creating, viewing or editing a room, using any tool, or otherwise using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms and by the Policies incorporated into them (see Section 31). Because the Service has no accounts, your use of the Service is your acceptance. If you do not agree, you must not use the Service. If you use the Service on behalf of an organization, you represent that you are authorized to accept these Terms for it, and "you" includes that organization.

2. Definitions

In these Terms, a "room" is a shared editing space reachable through a unique web address (a "room link", for example sharekodigo.dev/aB3xK9q). "Content" means any code, text, data, display name or other material entered or made available in the Service, and "Your Content" means Content you submit. "Tools" means the browser utilities offered in the Service: the malware scanner, the secret and API-key detector, the comment remover, code-to-image, the diff checker and the developer tools (JSON, JWT, Base64, URL and regular expressions). "Policies" means the policies listed in Section 31. "Including" means "including without limitation".

3. Eligibility

You may use the Service only if you are at least 13 years old, or the minimum age of digital consent in your country if that age is higher, and are legally able to enter into a binding agreement. If you are under the age of majority where you live, you may use the Service only with the permission of a parent or legal guardian, who accepts these Terms on your behalf and is responsible for your use. You may not use the Service if you are barred from doing so under applicable law, including the laws described in Section 21. If we learn that a person below the minimum age is using the Service, we may block access and delete related Content without notice.

4. Description of the Service

ShareKodigo is a free, browser-based, real-time collaborative code editor. You can create a room, share its link and edit code together with other people at the same time. The Service also offers the Tools described in Section 2.

The Service has no user accounts. You do not need to register, log in or provide an email address. When you join a room, the Service assigns you a random display name, which you can change. Display names are shown only to people who are in the same room.

The Service is offered free of charge. We do not promise that it will remain free or that any feature will remain available (see Section 13).

5. Rooms, Room Links and Access

Anyone with the link can view and edit. Anyone who has a room link can read, copy, change and delete everything in that room. There are no passwords, owners or per-user permissions.
Links are not passwords. Room links are random and hard to guess, but they are not secret credentials. A link can be forwarded, saved in browser history, posted publicly or leaked. Once a link is shared, we cannot control who receives it.
You control your links. You are solely responsible for deciding with whom you share a room link and for the consequences of sharing it.
Other people's actions. Other people in a room can change or delete your Content at any time. We are not responsible for what other users do in a room.
Do not store secrets. Never put passwords, API keys, private keys, access tokens, payment data, personal data of other people or other confidential information in a room.

6. Storage, Deletion and No Backups

Room Content is stored by our hosting infrastructure (Cloudflare Durable Objects storage or, if self-hosted, our server's disk) so that it is available when people return to the room. A room and its Content are deleted automatically 30 days after the last visit to that room. You may also ask us to delete a room by emailing its room link to support@sharekodigo.dev. We may also delete rooms earlier under Sections 12 and 13.

WE DO NOT KEEP BACKUPS OF ROOMS, AND DELETED ROOMS CANNOT BE RECOVERED BY YOU OR BY US. The Service is not a backup, archive, file-hosting or version-control system. We have no obligation to store, preserve, back up, return or export any Content, for any period of time, and Content may be lost because of automatic deletion, actions of other users, technical failures, attacks, maintenance or discontinuation of the Service.

You are solely responsible for keeping your own copies of any Content that matters to you, for example in your own files or a version-control system. ANY LOSS, CORRUPTION OR DELETION OF CONTENT IS AT YOUR OWN RISK, to the maximum extent permitted by law.

7. Your Content and the License You Give Us

You keep ownership. As between you and us, you retain all ownership rights you have in Your Content. We do not claim ownership of your code or other Content.

License to operate the Service. You grant us a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive, sublicensable (only to service providers acting on our behalf, such as hosting and network providers) and transferable (only together with the Service, under Section 28) license to host, store, cache, reproduce, transmit, display, format and otherwise process Your Content, solely as necessary to:

provide, operate and maintain the Service, including showing Your Content to people who open the room;
protect the security and integrity of the Service, including preventing abuse, malware and attacks;
comply with applicable law and enforce these Terms and the Policies; and
improve and promote the Service, but only using aggregated or anonymous information, such as the number of rooms created, and never by publishing Your Content or information that identifies you without your permission.

This license ends when Your Content is deleted, except to the limited extent that copies remain in temporary caches or logs, or must be kept because of a legal obligation or legal hold. In the normal course, we keep no backups of rooms.

Your promises. You represent and warrant that you own Your Content or have all rights and permissions needed to submit it and grant the license above, and that Your Content, and our use of it under these Terms, does not infringe or violate any intellectual property right, privacy right, confidentiality obligation, contract or applicable law. If Your Content includes code licensed by others, you are responsible for complying with those licenses.

8. Feedback

If you send us ideas, suggestions, bug reports, feature requests or other feedback about the Service ("Feedback"), you agree that we may use, copy, modify, publish and otherwise exploit that Feedback for any purpose, without restriction, attribution or compensation to you, and without any duty of confidentiality. You are not required to send Feedback. Feedback does not include Your Content in rooms, which remains governed by Section 7.

9. Your Responsibilities

You are solely responsible for:

all Content you submit, its legality and your right to share it;
not sharing secrets or confidential information, and not sharing personal data of other people without a valid legal basis and all required consents;
the security of your room links and of the devices, browsers and networks you use;
reviewing and testing any code before you use, deploy or rely on it, whoever wrote it and whatever a Tool says about it;
complying with these Terms, the Acceptable Use Policy and all applicable law; and
activity that occurs through your use of the Service, including by people you invite to a room.

10. Acceptable Use and Prohibited Conduct

Your use of the Service must comply with our Acceptable Use Policy, which forms part of these Terms. Without limiting that policy, you must not, and must not help or allow anyone else to:

use the Service for any unlawful, fraudulent, harmful or deceptive purpose;
upload, store or distribute live malware, or use a room to host or deliver code intended to attack, damage or gain unauthorized access to any system, device or person;
upload Content that infringes the rights of others, that is defamatory, harassing, hateful, sexually exploitative of minors or otherwise illegal, or that contains stolen credentials, leaked data or personal data you have no right to share;
create rooms in bulk or by bots, scripts or other automated means, or use rooms as file storage, a content delivery network or a data relay;
scrape, crawl, harvest or enumerate rooms, room links or Content, or attempt to guess room links;
overload or interfere with the Service, or circumvent rate limits, connection limits, IP blocks or other technical restrictions;
probe, scan or test the vulnerability of the Service without our prior written permission, except good-faith security research reported responsibly to support@sharekodigo.dev that does not harm the Service, its users or their data;
reverse engineer or attempt to derive the server software or infrastructure of the Service, except where applicable law expressly permits it;
copy, frame, mirror or resell the Service, or any substantial part of it, without our written permission;
impersonate any person or entity, including through display names; or
use our name, logo or brand in a way that suggests endorsement, affiliation or sponsorship without our written permission.

11. Browser Code Execution and Tools

Code runs in your browser. JavaScript, TypeScript and HTML that you choose to run in the Service are executed only in your own browser, inside a sandbox, and never on our server. You alone decide whether to run any code, including code written by others in a room. Untrusted code can affect your browser or device, and no sandbox guarantees complete isolation.

Tools run in your browser. The Tools process your input in your browser and do not upload it to our server. Content you place in a room, however, is stored on our server as described in Section 6.

Tools are aids, not guarantees. The malware scanner and the secret and API-key detector are pattern-based heuristics, not antivirus software, security audits or professional advice. They can miss real threats and secrets and can flag harmless code. Other Tools may produce incomplete, inaccurate or unexpected results. You must independently verify all results and must not rely on any Tool as your only protection. Our Security Tools Disclaimer forms part of these Terms. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DECISION YOU MAKE, OR ANY DAMAGE THAT RESULTS, FROM RUNNING CODE OR RELYING ON THE OUTPUT OF ANY TOOL.

12. Monitoring, Enforcement and Cooperation with Authorities

We have no obligation to monitor, review or moderate rooms or Content, and we are not responsible for Content submitted by users. However, we reserve the right, but not the duty, at any time and at our sole discretion, to:

access, review, scan or analyze rooms and Content, manually or automatically, to operate the Service, investigate reports or suspected violations, or protect the Service, its users or others;
remove, disable or delete any room or Content, in whole or in part, with or without notice;
rate-limit, suspend or block access from any device, IP address, network or region;
preserve information when we believe in good faith that the law requires it or that it is necessary to prevent harm; and
report Content or activity to, and cooperate with, law enforcement and other authorities, and respond to valid legal process.

We may act whether or not a violation has been established, and, to the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any action we take or do not take under this Section. Copyright complaints are handled under our Copyright and Takedown Policy.

13. Changes, Suspension and Discontinuation of the Service

The Service is provided free of charge and is evolving. We may, at any time, for any reason or for no reason, with or without notice, and without liability to you:

modify, add, limit or remove any feature, Tool, supported language or part of the Service;
suspend the Service temporarily, for example for maintenance, updates, security incidents or to respond to abuse;
impose or change limits on room size, number of participants, number of connections, storage duration, request rates or other usage;
block or restrict access from particular IP addresses, networks, countries or regions;
delete any room or Content; or
discontinue the Service, in whole or in part, permanently.

Where reasonably practical, we will try to post notice of a permanent discontinuation of the whole Service, but we are not obliged to do so. You agree that we are not liable to you or to any third party for any modification, suspension, limitation or discontinuation of the Service, to the maximum extent permitted by law.

14. Intellectual Property of the Service

The Service, including its software, source code, server infrastructure, design, user interface, text, graphics, the name "ShareKodigo", our logo and other trademarks, and all related intellectual property rights, are owned by us or our licensors and are protected by law. All rights not expressly granted to you are reserved.

Subject to these Terms, we grant you a personal, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable right to use the Service through a standard web browser for its intended purpose. This right ends automatically if you breach these Terms or when your access ends.

You may not use our name, logo or other brand features without our prior written permission, except to refer to the Service accurately without suggesting sponsorship or endorsement. Components of the Service provided under open-source licenses remain governed by those licenses.

15. Third-Party Services and Links

The Service relies on, and may link to, websites, libraries, fonts, network services and other services provided by third parties, including content delivery and security providers such as Cloudflare. Rooms may also contain links added by other users. We do not control and are not responsible for any third-party service, website or content, including its availability, accuracy, security or privacy practices, and a link does not mean we endorse it. Your use of third-party services is at your own risk and subject to their terms. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any loss caused by your use of or reliance on them.

16. Privacy and Cookies

Our Privacy Policy explains what information we process when you use the Service and how we process it, and our Cookie Policy explains our use of cookies and similar technologies. For example, our server keeps IP addresses in memory to enforce connection limits and protect the Service, and the Service may be delivered through Cloudflare, which processes network traffic to deliver and secure the site. By using the Service, you acknowledge these practices as described in those Policies.

17. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE SERVICE, INCLUDING ALL ROOMS, CONTENT, TOOLS, CODE EXECUTION FEATURES AND RESULTS, IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE", WITH ALL FAULTS AND WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, CONDITIONS AND REPRESENTATIONS, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, SATISFACTORY QUALITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, QUIET ENJOYMENT AND ANY WARRANTIES ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE.

Without limiting the above, we do not warrant that:

the Service will be available, uninterrupted, timely, secure or error-free, or that it will work on any particular device, browser or network;
Content will be stored, preserved, synchronized correctly or kept free from loss, corruption or unauthorized access;
room links will not be guessed, discovered, shared or leaked;
the browser sandbox will fully isolate code that you or others run;
any Tool will detect all malware, secrets or other risks, or that its results will be accurate; or
defects will be corrected, or that the Service will meet your requirements.

No advice or information, whether oral or written, obtained from us or through the Service creates any warranty that is not expressly stated in these Terms. You use the Service, and rely on any Content or Tool result, entirely at your own risk. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties, so some of the exclusions above may not apply to you; in that case they apply to the maximum extent permitted by law, as explained in Section 22.

18. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL WE, OUR AFFILIATES, OR OUR OR THEIR OWNERS, DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, AGENTS, SUPPLIERS OR LICENSORS (THE "PROTECTED PARTIES") BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, BUSINESS, GOODWILL OR ANTICIPATED SAVINGS, LOSS OR CORRUPTION OF DATA OR CONTENT, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, OR COST OF SUBSTITUTE SERVICES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF THE PROTECTED PARTIES FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF FIFTY US DOLLARS (US$50) OR THE TOTAL AMOUNT YOU PAID US FOR THE SERVICE IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM. Because the Service is free, the amount you have paid is normally zero.

These limitations apply to all theories of liability, whether contract, tort (including negligence), statute or otherwise, even if we were advised of the possibility of such damages. They apply, among other things, to damages relating to:

loss or deletion of rooms or Content, including automatic deletion after 30 days without visits;
access to, copying, alteration or disclosure of Content by anyone who has or obtains a room link;
code that you or others run in your browser, and any effect it has on your device, accounts or data;
errors, omissions, false positives or false negatives in the results of any Tool;
the conduct or Content of other users or third parties; and
any interruption, modification or discontinuation of the Service.

These limitations are an essential basis of our decision to provide the Service free of charge. NOTHING IN THESE TERMS EXCLUDES OR LIMITS LIABILITY THAT CANNOT BE EXCLUDED OR LIMITED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, such as, where the law so provides, liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for gross negligence or willful misconduct.

19. Indemnification

To the maximum extent permitted by law, you agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Protected Parties from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, settlements, fines, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or relating to:

Your Content, including any claim that it infringes or violates the rights of a third party;
your access to or use or misuse of the Service, including code you run or ask others to run;
your sharing of room links, and any use of the Service by people to whom you gave access;
your violation of these Terms or any Policy; or
your violation of applicable law or of any right of a third party.

We may, at your expense, assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter for which you must indemnify us, and you agree to cooperate fully with our defense. You may not settle any such matter without our prior written consent. This Section does not require you to indemnify us for losses to the extent they are caused by our own breach of these Terms, gross negligence or willful misconduct.

20. Termination

You may stop using the Service at any time without notifying us. To have a room deleted before its automatic deletion, you may email its room link to support@sharekodigo.dev.

We may, at our sole discretion, suspend, restrict or terminate your access to all or part of the Service at any time, for any reason or for no reason, with or without notice, including if we believe you have violated these Terms or a Policy, created risk or legal exposure for us or others, or if the law requires it. We may delete related rooms or Content and use technical measures, such as IP blocking, to enforce termination; you must not circumvent them. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any termination of access or deletion of Content.

21. Export Controls and Sanctions

You are responsible for complying with all export control, import and economic sanctions laws that apply to you and to your use of the Service. You represent that you are not located in, organized under the laws of, or ordinarily resident in a country or region subject to comprehensive sanctions, and that you are not listed on, or owned or controlled by anyone listed on, any government list of sanctioned, restricted or prohibited persons. You must not use the Service to export, re-export or transfer any software, technology or data in violation of those laws. We may block access from any country, region or network to comply with these laws or to manage risk.

22. Consumer Rights

Some countries and regions, including the European Union, the United Kingdom and many Latin American countries, have mandatory consumer-protection laws that give consumers rights which cannot be waived or limited by contract. Nothing in these Terms limits or excludes any right you have under mandatory law that cannot be lawfully limited or excluded.

If any provision of these Terms, including the disclaimers in Section 17, the limitations in Section 18, the indemnity in Section 19, or the dispute resolution, waiver and time-limit provisions in Sections 23 to 26, is not permitted by the mandatory law that applies to you, that provision applies only to the maximum extent permitted by that law, and the rest of these Terms remain in effect. If you are a consumer, you may also be entitled to bring a claim in the courts of the place where you live, and to benefit from the mandatory provisions of the law of your country of residence, where that law requires it.

23. Governing Law and Venue

These Terms, and any dispute or claim arising out of or relating to them or to the Service, including non-contractual disputes or claims, are governed by the laws of [COUNTRY / JURISDICTION], without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.

Subject to Section 22 and Section 24, you and we agree that the courts located in [COUNTRY / JURISDICTION] have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts and waive any objection based on inconvenient forum. However, we may seek injunctive or other urgent relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to protect our intellectual property, the security of the Service or the rights of others.

24. Dispute Resolution

Informal resolution first. Before starting any formal proceeding, you agree to send a written notice to support@sharekodigo.dev describing the dispute, the relief you seek and how to contact you. We will try to resolve the dispute informally within thirty (30) days after receiving your notice. Neither party may start a formal proceeding before this period ends, except for urgent relief under Section 23 or to prevent a limitation period from expiring.

Binding individual arbitration where permitted. If the dispute is not resolved informally, and to the extent permitted by the law of [COUNTRY / JURISDICTION] and the law that applies to you, it will be finally resolved by binding arbitration on an individual basis, before a single arbitrator, seated in [COUNTRY / JURISDICTION], under the arbitration rules generally applicable there. The award is final and binding and may be enforced in any competent court. Where arbitration is not permitted or enforceable for a dispute, that dispute will be resolved exclusively by the courts described in Section 23. Either party may instead bring an individual claim in a competent small-claims court.

25. Class Action and Jury Trial Waiver

TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, YOU AND WE AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, COLLECTIVE, CONSOLIDATED OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. The arbitrator or court may not consolidate the claims of more than one person and may award relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief for that party's individual claim.

TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, YOU AND WE EACH WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE.

If the class action waiver is found to be unenforceable for a particular claim, that claim must be decided by a court as described in Section 23 and not in arbitration, and the remainder of Section 24 continues to apply to all other claims.

26. Time Limit to Bring Claims

TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE MUST BE STARTED WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION AROSE; OTHERWISE, IT IS PERMANENTLY BARRED. Where applicable law does not allow this period to be shortened, the shortest period permitted by that law applies.

27. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms at any time. When we do, we will post the updated Terms on this page and change the "last updated" date shown at the top, and for material changes we may also give notice on the site where reasonably practical. Changes take effect when posted, unless we state a later date, and do not apply retroactively to disputes of which we had notice before the change. By continuing to use the Service after the updated Terms take effect, you accept them. If you do not agree, you must stop using the Service. Because we cannot contact users individually, you should review this page regularly.

28. Assignment

We may assign, transfer, delegate or subcontract any or all of our rights and obligations under these Terms, without your consent and without notice, including in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, sale of assets or transfer of the Service to another operator. You may not assign or transfer these Terms or any of your rights or obligations under them, by operation of law or otherwise, without our prior written consent. Any attempted assignment in violation of this Section is void. These Terms bind and benefit the parties and their permitted successors and assigns.

29. Force Majeure

We are not liable for any delay or failure to perform caused by events or circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including natural disasters, fire, flood, epidemics, war, terrorism, civil unrest, labor disputes, government actions, failures of electricity, internet, hosting, telecommunications or third-party providers, denial-of-service attacks, other cyberattacks or acts of other users.

30. Notices and Electronic Communications

Because the Service has no accounts, we will generally give notices to users by posting them on the site, including on this page. Such notices are effective when posted. If you have contacted us by email, we may also send notices to the email address you used. You may give us notices by email to support@sharekodigo.dev; legal notices may also be sent to our postal address shown above.

You agree that these Terms are accepted electronically through your use of the Service, and that all agreements, notices and other communications that we provide electronically satisfy any legal requirement that such communications be in writing, to the extent permitted by law.

31. General Provisions

Entire agreement. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, Cookie Policy, Acceptable Use Policy, Copyright and Takedown Policy and Security Tools Disclaimer, which are incorporated by reference, are the entire agreement between you and us about the Service. If these Terms conflict with a Policy, these Terms prevail unless the Policy expressly says otherwise.
Severability. If any provision is held invalid or unenforceable, it will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible and modified only as needed to make it enforceable, and the remaining provisions stay in full effect.
No waiver. Our failure or delay in enforcing any provision is not a waiver. A waiver is effective only if made by us in writing.
Language. If a translation of these Terms differs from the English version, the English version prevails for interpretation, to the extent permitted by law.
Headings. Headings and the summary at the top are for convenience only and do not affect interpretation.
No third-party beneficiaries. These Terms give no rights to any third party, except that the Protected Parties may rely on Sections 17 to 19.
Relationship. These Terms create no partnership, joint venture, employment or agency relationship between you and us.

32. Survival

Any provision of these Terms that by its nature should survive the end of your use of the Service will survive, including Sections 6 to 9, 12, 14, 15 and 17 to 33.

33. Contact

If you have any questions about these Terms, or need to send us a notice, contact us at support@sharekodigo.dev or by post at [OPERATOR LEGAL NAME], [ADDRESS], [COUNTRY / JURISDICTION].
