1. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old to use ShrugMoji. If you are accessing the Service on behalf of an organization, you confirm that you have the authority to bind that organization to these Terms.

2. Permitted Use

ShrugMoji is intended for educational, creative, and professional use. You may copy shrug variants, share tutorials, and embed our tools in accordance with the license below. You agree not to:

• Use automated scraping that overwhelms our infrastructure or bypasses rate limits.
• Misrepresent ShrugMoji content as your own original work without attribution.
• Upload or distribute harmful code, phishing content, or illegal material through our tools.
• Interfere with or disrupt the Service or the networks we rely upon.

We reserve the right to throttle or block access if your usage threatens service stability.

3. Intellectual Property

ShrugMoji content—including articles, tutorials, interface design, and original emoji variants—is protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws. You may quote or reference our content as long as you provide clear attribution and a link back to shrugmoji.com. Commercial redistribution of substantial portions of our content requires written permission. Unicode characters remain subject to the Unicode License and other third-party licenses.

4. Open-Source Components

ShrugMoji incorporates open-source libraries governed by their respective licenses. When our tools expose source code or downloadable assets, you must comply with any included license notices. We publish contributions to open-source projects under the same license unless stated otherwise.

5. Disclaimers

The Service is provided “as is.” While we work hard to ensure accuracy and availability, we do not guarantee that every shrug variant will display the same way on every platform, nor can we guarantee uninterrupted service. Educational content, including blog articles and tutorials, is for informational purposes only. You should evaluate whether the advice fits your specific context, especially in legal or professional settings.

6. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, ShrugMoji and its contributors are not liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of the Service. Our total liability for any claim related to the Service is limited to USD $50. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so portions of this section may not apply to you.

7. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless ShrugMoji, its contributors, and partners from any claims, losses, or expenses (including attorney fees) arising from your misuse of the Service, violation of these Terms, or infringement of any third-party rights.

8. Third-Party Links

ShrugMoji provides external references to support research. We do not control those websites and are not responsible for their content, policies, or availability. Following third-party links is at your own risk.

9. Updates to the Service

We frequently update ShrugMoji with new tutorials, localized translations, and tooling experiments. We may modify or discontinue parts of the Service at any time. When a change materially affects how you interact with the site, we will announce it via banner or blog update.

10. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access if you violate these Terms or use the Service in a way that exposes us to legal risk. Upon termination, your right to use ShrugMoji ceases immediately, and clauses that should reasonably survive termination (such as intellectual property and indemnification) will remain in effect.

11. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, United States, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any disputes will be resolved in the state or federal courts located in San Francisco County, California, unless applicable law requires a different venue.

12. Changes to These Terms

We may revise these Terms from time to time. When we do, we update the “Last Updated” date and post a summary on the blog. Continued use of the Service after changes means you accept the revised Terms.
