Terms of Use

Last updated: June 13, 2026

Welcome to IsDownOrOnline.com (the "Service"). These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the Service. By using the site, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service.

1. The service

IsDownOrOnline.com is a free tool that attempts to determine whether a given website is reachable ("online") or not ("down") by sending a request to it from our servers and reporting the result. The Service is provided for general informational purposes only.

2. No guarantee of accuracy

We make a reasonable effort to report accurate results, but we cannot guarantee them. A website may appear "down" to us while working fine for you, or appear "online" while you experience problems. This can happen because of geographic routing, bot protection, rate limiting, caching, temporary glitches, or factors outside our control. Results are observations, not official statements about any third-party website, and should not be relied upon as such.

3. Acceptable use

You agree not to use the Service to:

• Break any applicable law or regulation, or infringe the rights of others.
• Overload, attack, or disrupt the Service, for example by sending automated or excessive requests, scraping at scale, or attempting to gain unauthorized access.
• Use the Service to harass, harm, or attempt to disrupt any third-party website or service.
• Misrepresent the Service's results or imply that we endorse, certify, or are affiliated with any website you check.

We may rate-limit, block, or restrict access to anyone who abuses the Service, at our discretion.

4. Intellectual property

The Service's name, design, text, and original content are owned by us or our licensors and are protected by applicable laws. You may use the Service for your personal, non-commercial purposes. You may not copy, reproduce, or republish substantial portions of our content without permission. Names and trademarks of third-party websites you check belong to their respective owners.

5. Third-party links and advertising

The Service may contain links to third-party websites and may display advertising served by third parties. We are not responsible for the content, products, services, or privacy practices of any third party. Your dealings with third parties are solely between you and them. See our Privacy Policy for details on advertising and analytics.

6. Disclaimer of warranties

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free.

7. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, IsDownOrOnline.com and its operators will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of data, profits, or goodwill, arising from your use of (or inability to use) the Service — even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages. Because the Service is free, your sole remedy for dissatisfaction is to stop using it.

8. Changes to the service and these terms

We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service at any time without notice. We may also update these Terms from time to time; the "Last updated" date above reflects the latest version. Continuing to use the Service after changes take effect means you accept the revised Terms.

9. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the United States and the State of California, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any disputes will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located there.
