Terms of Service
Short version: Use PigLat for whatever legitimate purpose you want. Don't abuse it, don't try to break it, and don't use it for anything illegal. That's pretty much it.
1. Acceptance of terms
By using piglat.com ("the site"), you agree to these terms of service. If you don't agree, please don't use the site. These terms apply to all visitors and users of PigLat.
2. What PigLat is
PigLat is a free online tool that translates English text into Pig Latin and back. It's provided as-is, for free, by Jason Wade. The translator runs entirely in your browser — we don't store anything you type.
3. Permitted use
You're welcome to use PigLat for:
- Personal use — translating words or sentences for fun
- Educational purposes — learning about pig latin, word games, phonics
- Solving crossword puzzles or trivia questions
- Sharing results with friends or on social media
- Embedding or linking to PigLat from your own site (with credit)
4. Prohibited use
You may not use PigLat to:
- Scrape or systematically extract data from the site using bots or automated tools
- Attempt to hack, disable, or disrupt the site or its servers
- Use the site in any way that violates applicable laws or regulations
- Transmit spam, malware, or harmful content through our contact form
- Misrepresent yourself when contacting us
5. Intellectual property
The PigLat name, logo, design, and original content on this site are owned by Jason Wade. The pig latin translation logic itself is based on well-known public rules and is not proprietary.
6. Disclaimer of warranties
PigLat is provided "as is" without any warranty of any kind. We don't guarantee that the site will be available 100% of the time, that translations will always be perfect, or that the site will meet your specific needs.
Pig Latin is a word game with some edge cases — compound words, proper nouns, and unusual spellings may not always translate exactly as expected. Use the tool as a helpful guide, not a definitive authority.
7. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Jason Wade and PigLat shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the site. Our total liability to you for any claim shall not exceed $0, since PigLat is a free service.
8. External links
PigLat may contain links to external websites like Wikipedia or Merriam-Webster. We don't control those sites and aren't responsible for their content or privacy practices. Links are provided for informational purposes only.
9. Changes to these terms
We may update these terms occasionally. If we make significant changes, we'll update the "last updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of the site after changes means you accept the updated terms.
10. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the United States. Any disputes shall be handled in the applicable courts of the United States.
