  • · Nothing here is financial or medical advice. Always consult a qualified professional for important decisions.
  • · Don't use Utilia for anything illegal, harmful, or abusive.

1.Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using utilia.ink (the "Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the Service.

These Terms apply to all visitors and users of the Service. By using any part of the website — including browsing pages, using tools, or accessing content — you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated herein by reference.

If you are using the Service on behalf of an organisation, you represent and warrant that you have authority to bind that organisation to these Terms.

2.Service Description

Utilia is a free online utility platform providing the following tools:

Currency Converter: Converts between world currencies using reference rates published by the European Central Bank via the Frankfurter API.
Unit Converter: Converts between metric and imperial units across categories including length, weight, temperature, volume, area, and speed.
BMI Calculator: Calculates Body Mass Index (BMI) from height and weight inputs, with standard WHO classification categories.

We may add, modify, or remove tools at any time without notice. We are under no obligation to provide any specific feature or maintain any particular tool indefinitely.

3.Free Access & No Account Required

All tools on Utilia are provided free of charge. No account, registration, subscription, or payment is required to use any part of the Service.

We reserve the right to introduce optional paid features, premium plans, or account-based functionality in the future. Any such additions will be clearly communicated and will not remove access to the core free tools.

No account means no contract

Because you don't create an account, there is no subscription to cancel and no personal account data to delete. You may simply stop using the Service at any time.

4.Acceptable Use Policy

You may use the Service only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms. You agree not to use the Service:

×In any way that violates applicable local, national, or international law or regulation.
×To transmit, or procure the sending of, any unsolicited or unauthorised advertising or promotional material.
×To attempt to gain unauthorised access to any part of the Service, its infrastructure, or any servers or systems connected to the Service.
×To engage in any scraping, crawling, data mining, or automated extraction of data at a scale that places unreasonable load on our servers.
×To reproduce, duplicate, or resell the Service or any part of it for commercial purposes without our prior written consent.
×To upload, transmit, or distribute any malware, viruses, or other malicious code via the Service.
×To attempt to interfere with the proper working of the Service, including by conducting denial-of-service attacks.
×To impersonate or misrepresent your affiliation with any person or organisation.

We reserve the right to suspend or block access to the Service for any user or IP address we determine, at our sole discretion, to be in violation of this policy or these Terms.

5.Intellectual Property

The Utilia name, logo, brand identity, and original website design are our intellectual property and may not be reproduced, distributed, or used without our prior written permission.

Open-source foundation

The Service is built on open-source software. Where third-party open-source libraries are used, their respective licenses apply to those components and are not superseded by these Terms.

User content

You do not submit any content to Utilia — all tool inputs are processed entirely within your browser and are never transmitted to us. Accordingly, no user content license is required or granted.

Blog content

All original articles and blog posts on utilia.ink are © Utilia. You may share excerpts with attribution, but may not reproduce entire articles without written permission.

6.Disclaimer of Warranties ("As Is")

Important Disclaimer

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Utilia expressly disclaims all warranties, including but not limited to:

Merchantability: We make no warranty that the Service is fit for any particular commercial purpose.
Fitness for a particular purpose: We make no warranty that the Service will meet your specific requirements.
Accuracy: Currency rates are reference rates and may differ from rates offered by banks. BMI calculations are estimates. Unit conversions may contain rounding errors.
Availability: We do not guarantee that the Service will be available at all times, uninterrupted, or error-free.
Security: While we take reasonable precautions, we cannot guarantee that the Service is free from bugs, viruses, or malicious code.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties. In such jurisdictions, the above exclusions apply to the fullest extent permitted by law.

7.Limitation of Liability

Liability Cap

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, UTILIA SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES.

This includes but is not limited to damages for loss of profits, loss of data, loss of goodwill, service interruption, computer damage or system failure, or the cost of substitute services — even if Utilia has been advised of the possibility of such damages.

In jurisdictions where limitation of consequential damages is not permitted, our liability is limited to the greatest extent permitted by applicable law.

Aggregate liability cap

Because the Service is provided free of charge, our total aggregate liability to you for all claims arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service shall not exceed €10 (ten euros). This cap reflects the free nature of the Service.

Nothing in these Terms limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or any other liability that cannot be limited or excluded by law.

8.Not Financial or Medical Advice

Nothing on Utilia constitutes, or should be construed as:

Financial advice

Currency conversion results are reference figures only. They are not investment recommendations, exchange rate predictions, or advice on when to buy or sell currency.

Medical advice

BMI is a general screening tool with well-documented limitations. Results do not constitute a diagnosis, health assessment, or recommendation for any medical treatment.

Legal advice

Nothing on this site constitutes legal advice. These Terms are informational and do not create a solicitor-client or attorney-client relationship.

Professional advice

Always consult a qualified professional — a financial adviser, doctor, or solicitor — before making important decisions involving money, health, or legal matters.

9.External Data Sources

Some features of the Service depend on data provided by third-party sources. We use this data in good faith but do not control it and cannot guarantee its accuracy, completeness, timeliness, or availability.

European Central Bank (ECB)

ECB Rates ↗

Currency rates are sourced from the ECB via the Frankfurter API. ECB reference rates are published once per business day and may not reflect real-time market rates or rates available from banks, brokers, or exchange services. They are not transaction rates.

Frankfurter API

The Frankfurter API is an open-source service that proxies ECB data. We are not affiliated with it and cannot guarantee its uptime or continued availability. If the API is unavailable, currency conversion may temporarily be unavailable.

Utilia is not responsible for any decisions, losses, or consequences arising from reliance on data sourced from third parties.

10.Service Availability

We strive to keep Utilia available around the clock, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted access. The Service may be temporarily unavailable due to:

Scheduled or emergency maintenance
Infrastructure or hosting failures beyond our control
External API outages (e.g., the Frankfurter / ECB currency data feed)
Force majeure events, including natural disasters, internet outages, or regulatory actions

We reserve the right to discontinue or substantially modify the Service at any time. We will endeavour to provide advance notice for planned outages or major changes, but are under no obligation to do so.

11.Governing Law & Jurisdiction

These Terms and any dispute or claim (including non-contractual disputes or claims) arising out of or in connection with them or their subject matter or formation shall be governed by and construed in accordance with applicable law.

EU Consumer rights

If you are a consumer resident in the European Union, you benefit from any mandatory provisions of the law of your country of residence. Nothing in these Terms affects your rights as a consumer under applicable EU consumer protection law, including Directive 2011/83/EU.

Online dispute resolution

EU residents may use the European Commission's Online Dispute Resolution platform for resolving disputes: ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr ↗. We are not obligated to participate in dispute resolution through this platform, but we will endeavour to resolve any concerns informally and promptly.

12.Severability & Entire Agreement

Severability

If any provision of these Terms is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, unenforceable, or illegal, the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect. The invalid provision will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable.

Entire agreement

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and Utilia regarding your use of the Service, and supersede any prior agreements, representations, or understandings.

No waiver

Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of that right or provision unless acknowledged and agreed to by Utilia in writing.

13.Changes to These Terms

We may revise these Terms at any time. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. We will make reasonable efforts to notify users of material changes — for example, by displaying a notice on the website.

Your continued use of the Service after updated Terms are posted constitutes your acceptance of those changes. If you do not agree to the revised Terms, please discontinue using the Service.

What constitutes a material change?

Material changes include modifications to disclaimers, limitations of liability, acceptable use restrictions, or intellectual property rights. Minor corrections, clarifications, or formatting changes do not constitute material changes and may be made without specific notice.
