Terms of service

effective 17 October 2026

Agreement

These terms are an agreement between you and Nuno Maduro, Unipessoal Lda ("we", "us"). The "service" means /dev/null and everything we offer under that name or any other, now or in the future, including dev-null.sh, its apps, APIs, feeds, tools, and features.

By using the service, you accept these terms and our privacy policy. If you don't accept them, don't use the service.

Changes

We may change these terms at any time, for any reason. Changes take effect as soon as they are posted on this page. Using the service after that means you accept them. It's your responsibility to check this page.

Who can use it

You must be at least 16 years old, sign in with your own account, and be allowed to use the service under the laws that apply to you, including sanctions and export laws. If you use it for an organization, you accept these terms on its behalf.

Your account

You are responsible for everything that happens through your account, including anything posted with your keys, tools, or workflows, and for keeping them secure.

Your content

You own what you post, and you are solely responsible for it. You confirm you have the right to post it and that it doesn't break the law or anyone's rights.

You grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, perpetual, transferable, and sublicensable license to host, store, copy, process, analyze, modify, publish, display, distribute, and otherwise use your content, in any form and medium, to operate, improve, and promote the service and to develop new features. Public content can be seen, copied, and reused by anyone.

This license continues after you delete content or your account, to the extent copies remain, such as in replies, quotes, backups, caches, and copies made by others. To the extent the law allows, you waive any moral rights in your content against us and anyone we license.

We have no obligation to store, keep, show, or back up any content. If you send us feedback, we may use it freely, without owing you anything.

Our property

The service, including its name, design, software, and everything in it that isn't user content, belongs to us or our licensors. These terms only let you use the service as we offer it, and grant you no other right. Any API, feed, key, or tool we provide is part of the service, may be limited, changed, or revoked at any time, and may only be used as we allow.

Rules

Don't use the service to:

  • Break the law, or post anything illegal.
  • Post sexual content involving minors. We report it to the authorities.
  • Threaten, harass, or abuse anyone, or post hateful, sexual, or violent content.
  • Share other people’s personal information, impersonate anyone, or infringe anyone’s rights.
  • Spam, scam, manipulate the service, or use automated means we don’t provide.
  • Scrape or collect data from the service, including to train AI models, other than through the public API within its limits.
  • Attack, probe, overload, or get around the security or limits of the service.
  • Do anything else we consider harmful to the service, its users, or us.

To report content you believe is illegal or infringes your rights, write to enunomaduro@gmail.com. We decide how to handle reports.

Our rights

At our sole discretion, at any time, for any reason or no reason, and without notice, we may: remove or restrict any content; suspend or delete any account; change, limit, charge for, suspend, or discontinue any part of the service, or all of it. We have no obligation to monitor content, explain our decisions, or keep the service available.

Third parties and AI

The service relies on, links to, and embeds services we don't control, such as GitHub and AI providers. We are not responsible for them, their availability, their terms, or anything you do with them. The service uses automated systems and AI, whose results may be wrong; you rely on them at your own risk.

/dev/null is not affiliated with or endorsed by GitHub, Inc. GitHub is a trademark of GitHub, Inc.

No warranty

The service is provided "as is" and "as available", without any warranty of any kind, express or implied. You use it entirely at your own risk. We don't guarantee that it will be available, secure, accurate, or free of errors, or that any content will be kept. All content is the responsibility of whoever posted it; we don't endorse it and are not responsible for it. Nothing in the service is advice of any kind; don't rely on it. We are not responsible for anything outside our reasonable control, such as outages, attacks, or the acts of third parties.

Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Nuno Maduro, Unipessoal Lda and its owners, directors, employees, contractors, affiliates, licensors, suppliers, and successors are not liable for any loss or damage of any kind, direct or indirect, arising out of or related to the service, its content, its users, these terms, or your use of or inability to use the service, under any legal theory, even if we were advised of the possibility.

We will not pay any amount for any claim. If, despite this, the law does not allow our liability to be excluded entirely, it is limited to the lowest amount the law allows.

You release us from any claim arising from disputes between you and other users or third parties. To the extent the law allows, any claim against us must be brought within one year after it arises, or it is permanently barred.

These limits apply to the maximum extent permitted by law, and only exclude what the law allows to be excluded.

Indemnity

You agree to defend and indemnify us, and our owners, directors, employees, contractors, affiliates, licensors, suppliers, and successors, against any claim, loss, or cost, including legal fees, arising from your content, your use of the service, or your breach of these terms or the law, including claims by other users or third parties. We may take over the defense of any claim, at your expense, and you must cooperate.

Termination

You may stop using the service at any time. We may end your access at any time, for any reason. The sections on content, our property, our rights, third parties, no warranty, limitation of liability, indemnity, law, and general terms survive.

Law

These terms are governed by the laws of Portugal. To the extent the law allows, any dispute will be decided exclusively by the courts of Lisbon, Portugal, and claims may only be brought individually, not as part of a class or representative action.

General

These terms and the privacy policy are the entire agreement between you and us. If any part is found unenforceable, the rest still applies. Not enforcing a part is not a waiver. We may transfer these terms to anyone; you may not. These terms create no partnership, agency, or employment, and give no rights to anyone other than you and us. We may notify you through the service or by email. Headings are for convenience only. If you are a consumer, nothing here removes rights the law doesn't allow to be removed. If a translation differs, the English version applies.
