Welcome to JohnCouto.com. This website, along with its subpages, articles, interactive tools, custom code snippets, and resources (collectively, the "Services"), is owned and operated by John Couto.

By accessing, browsing, or utilizing any part of this website, you explicitly agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions, all applicable laws, and regulations. If you do not agree with any of these terms, you are strictly prohibited from using or accessing this site, its tools, or its downloadable resources.

⚠️ Technical Disclosures: "As-Is" Code Warranty

All code snippets, custom PHP scripts (such as the recursive widget line-break tool), systems advice, and step-by-step tutorials provided on this website are shared strictly for educational and informational purposes.

• No Warranties: This code is provided completely "as-is" without warranty of any kind, express or implied.
• Use At Your Own Risk: You acknowledge that modifying WordPress theme files, adding raw database filters, or executing custom PHP code can cause system downtime, broken configurations, or database crashes.
• No Liability: John Couto shall not be held liable or responsible for any data loss, theme breakage, hosting suspension, security vulnerability, or site downtime resulting from your implementation of advice or code found on this site.

Client-Side Browser Utilities

This website hosts interactive web applications (such as the Boomerang Loop compiler and the Artistly Navigation Portal) that execute complex rendering logic entirely inside your local device's browser memory (client-side processing).

• System Performance: Because these tools process files (including video and image arrays) locally, resource usage is determined entirely by your device’s hardware, memory constraints, and browser capabilities.
• No Resource Liability: John Couto is not liable for any browser crashes, system freezes, device overheating, data loss, or failed renders experienced while utilizing these free tools. You agree that you run and execute these browser-based applications at your own absolute risk.

Unless otherwise stated, all original source code, custom-programmed HTML/JS tool structures, interface designs, graphical layouts, text copy, and brand assets on this website are the intellectual property of John Couto and JohnCouto.com.

• Personal On-Site Use: You are granted a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to access and run our interactive portals and tools directly on this website.
• Strict Re-Hosting Restrictions: You are strictly prohibited from copying, duplicating, scraping, mirroring, or re-hosting the raw source files or tool logic (such as the artistly_portal.html or boomerang_loop.html engines) on your own websites, public servers, or commercial portals without prior express written consent from JohnCouto.com.
• Appropriate Credit Mandate: Any approved redistribution, open-source integration, or public reference of our custom developer scripts or tool structures must carry a prominent, visible, and un-nested credit link pointing directly back to the original source page on JohnCouto.com.

Third-Party Purchases & Affiliate Relationships

This platform recommends high-value software engines, tools, and Lifetime Deals (including Artistly, Video Express, and companion utilities) via affiliate partnerships.

• Independent Ecosystems: You acknowledge that these external tools are owned, operated, and managed by independent third-party corporations.
• Separation of Liability: Any financial transactions, credit card processing, product delivery issues, refund disputes, subscription management, or technical support requests are strictly between you and the respective third-party platform.
• No Transaction Liability: John Couto does not capture, store, or manage payments for third-party platforms, and is in no way liable or responsible for any consumer disputes, service outages, or transaction failures occurring on external affiliate websites.
