Terms of Service

By accessing or using BrailleDocs (brailledocs.com), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service and all applicable laws and regulations. If you do not agree with any of these terms, you are prohibited from using the service.

These Terms of Service constitute a legally binding agreement between you and NewHaptics, the operator of BrailleDocs.

BrailleDocs is a free, web-based braille translation tool. The service uses the liblouis open-source braille translation library to convert documents into braille for educational and professional use.

The service supports multiple document formats, braille codes, and export options. It is designed for teachers of the visually impaired, braille transcribers, and other braille professionals.

To access certain features of BrailleDocs, you may need to create an account. When creating an account, you agree to:

• Provide accurate, current, and complete information
• Maintain only one account per person
• Keep your login credentials secure and confidential
• Notify us immediately of any unauthorized use of your account

You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account. NewHaptics is not liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to maintain the security of your account credentials.

You retain full ownership of all content you upload to BrailleDocs and all translations generated from that content. NewHaptics claims no intellectual property rights over your documents, translations, or any other content you create or process through the service.

By using the service, you grant NewHaptics a limited, non-exclusive license to process your content solely for the purpose of providing the service to you. This includes translating, formatting, and storing your documents as directed by your use of the application. This license terminates when you delete your content or your account.

You represent and warrant that you have the right to upload and process any content you submit to BrailleDocs, and that doing so does not violate any third-party rights.

You agree not to:

• Upload malicious files, including but not limited to files containing viruses, malware, or other harmful code
• Use automated tools, bots, scrapers, or other programmatic means to access the service without prior written permission
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to any part of the service, other user accounts, or the systems and networks connected to the service
• Interfere with or disrupt the service, servers, or networks, including through denial-of-service attacks or excessive request volumes
• Use the service for any unlawful purpose or in violation of any applicable local, state, national, or international law

Violation of these terms may result in immediate termination of your account and access to the service.

BrailleDocs is a free service. In no event shall the total liability of NewHaptics for all claims arising from or related to the service exceed zero dollars ($0 USD).

The service is provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise. To the fullest extent permitted by law, NewHaptics disclaims all warranties, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, and accuracy.

You may terminate your account at any time by deleting it through your account settings. Upon deletion, your account data and stored documents will be permanently removed from our systems in accordance with our data retention policy.

We may terminate or suspend your account and access to the service immediately, without prior notice or liability, if you breach these Terms of Service. Upon termination, your right to use the service ceases immediately.

Sections 4, 6, 8, 9, 10, and 12 of these Terms shall survive any termination of your account or these Terms of Service.

These Terms of Service shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Ohio, United States, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.

Any disputes arising out of or related to these Terms or the service shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in the State of Ohio.

We reserve the right to modify these Terms of Service at any time. When we make changes, we will update the “Last updated” date at the top of this page.
