Terms & Conditions

Last updated:

These terms apply to your use of realonlineruler.com (the “site”). “We” and “us” mean the operator of the site. By using the site, you agree to these terms. If you don’t agree, please don’t use it.

Using the Site

The site is free to use, and no account is required. You may use it for personal and commercial measuring tasks, and you may share links to it, including links that hold your ruler settings.

Measurement Accuracy

The ruler is a convenience tool, and its results are approximate. Accuracy depends on your calibration, your screen, your browser, zoom settings, and how you line up the object. Published screen sizes are often rounded, and browsers don’t always report zoom changes.

Don’t rely on the site where an error could cause harm or loss. That includes medical, safety, legal, engineering, manufacturing, and trade uses, and any other work with tight tolerances. Use a certified measuring instrument for those, and check important measurements with a physical ruler or calipers.

Measuring Against Your Screen

Be gentle when you hold objects against your screen. Sharp, hot, wet, or heavy items can damage it. You’re responsible for any damage to your device and for keeping any card you use for calibration out of sight of others.

Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

  • Break any law while using the site
  • Disrupt the site, or try to gain unauthorized access to it or the systems that host it
  • Send automated traffic that puts an unreasonable load on the site
  • Copy or republish the site, or present it as your own

Intellectual Property

The site’s content, design, and code belong to us or our licensors, and these terms don’t transfer any ownership to you. Product and company names mentioned on the site, such as those of device makers and software publishers, belong to their owners. Mentioning them doesn’t imply any affiliation or endorsement.

Privacy

Our Privacy Policy explains what is stored on your device and what information we handle.

No Warranty

The site is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied. These include warranties of accuracy, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We don’t promise that the site will always be available or free of errors, and we may change or remove any part of it at any time.

Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent the law allows, we aren’t liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential loss, or for any loss that results from relying on a measurement or from being unable to use the site. Some places don’t allow these limits, so they may not all apply to you. Nothing in these terms removes rights that you have by law and that can’t be waived.

Changes to These Terms

We may update these terms from time to time and will change the date at the top of this page when we do. Continuing to use the site after a change means you accept the updated terms.
