The service you are actually offered
Tabley lets you build a table in the browser. You may set a grid up to 40 rows and 12 columns. You may choose header modes, type, colors, borders, a title, a caption, and the other controls described in the features guide. You may start from templates, import a CSV file, paste from a spreadsheet, print, copy tab-separated text, and export PDF, PNG, JPEG, CSV, Excel (.xls), HTML, or Markdown. The interface may be shown in English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, German, Norwegian, Arabic, or Japanese, with Arabic laid out right to left.
The service is the software in the browser and the public pages around it. It is not a promise of a particular visual result on every printer, a promise that every browser version will behave identically, or a promise that a draft left in local storage will still be there next month. Browsers differ. Printers differ. Managed computers wipe storage. You are responsible for checking an export before you rely on it in a class, a shop, a clinic, or a client meeting.
The tool does not calculate, does not validate that numbers are numbers, and does not collaborate live. Those are not missing features hidden behind a paid tier. They are outside the service. If you need them, you need different software. Using Tabley alongside a spreadsheet is expected and fine. Expecting Tabley to replace a system of record is a misunderstanding of the service, not a breach by the publisher.
Your text stays yours
The words, numbers, and other content you type or paste into a table are yours, or they are content you have the right to use. Tabley does not take ownership of your cells because you used a free editor. Exporting a PDF does not assign the copyright in your roster or your price list to the publisher. Loading a template does not give the publisher a claim over the text you type afterward.
Templates include sample words so the layout is understandable. Those samples are starters. Once you replace them, the replacement is your content. Do not publish a template's sample names as if they were real people in your organization. That is your editorial mistake, not a transfer of those fake names into your business.
You give Tabley no ongoing license to publish your table, because the product is not built to receive your table as a submission. The privacy details are on the privacy page: local storage, on-device export, and no account. These terms should be read together with that page. If a future advertising script is enabled, it still would not be a grant of rights in your cell text. Your content is not the ad.
If you send email to hello@tabley.online, the contents of that email are whatever you chose to write. Do not send material you are not willing to have a person read for the purpose of answering you. Email is not a publishing channel for your tables and not a backup folder.
Personal use and commercial use of the tables you make
You may use the tables you create for personal purposes and for commercial purposes. A family chore list, a student homework grid, a shop price sign, a freelancer's comparison in a proposal, and a clinic's internal morning roster are all within the ordinary use of the tool, subject to the rest of these terms and to laws that apply to you. Tabley does not charge a royalty on a table you made, and does not restrict a table to non-commercial hobby use.
Commercial use of a table means you may print it in a business, send it to a paying client, or include an export in work you are paid to do. It does not mean Tabley becomes your business partner, your biller, or a party to your client contract. Your prices, your grades, your promises to customers, and your compliance with tax, health, school, or advertising rules are yours. A wrong total in an invoice-lines table is still your wrong total. The software did not add it up.
You may not describe an export as an official document issued by Tabley. A PDF you made is your PDF. It may look tidy. It is not a certificate, a transcript, a government form, or an invoice from the publisher. If a reader would reasonably think the page was produced by Tabley as a statement of fact about you, add your own name and remove the confusion. The tool's name in the website footer is not a signature on your data.
What you may not do with the site
Do not abuse the site. Abuse includes attempting to break the editor, probing the service in a way that degrades it for other people, injecting malicious content into the site, overloading it, or bypassing a technical limit in order to harm the host rather than to format a table. The 40 by 12 ceiling is a product limit. Working inside it is use. Attacking the site because you wanted 400 rows is abuse.
Do not use the site to harass people, to publish threats, or to distribute material you have no right to distribute. The fact that editing happens locally does not make the website a refuge for misuse of the pages, the contact channel, or the exports you then post elsewhere. You are responsible for what you type and for where you send it.
Do not misrepresent your relationship to Tabley. You are not an employee, reseller, or spokesperson merely because you use a free tool. Do not register confusing domains, send invoices in Tabley's name, or tell a customer that a defect in your own spreadsheet was a warranty from this site.
Do not attempt to scrape or republish the help center in a way that impersonates the official documentation. Linking to a public page is ordinary. Cloning the site and presenting it as tabley.online is not. The words of the help pages are published so visitors can use the product, not so a copy can be passed off as the publisher.
Automated access that interferes with human use is not allowed. Ordinary browsing, including assistive technology a person actually uses to read and edit, is allowed and welcome. A script that hammers the site is not. If you are a researcher and unsure where a test falls, write to hello@tabley.online before you run it.
No warranty
The site and the tool are provided as is and as available, without a warranty of any kind, whether express or implied, to the extent the law allows that disclaimer. Tabley does not warrant that the editor will be uninterrupted, that an export will be free of visual defects, that local storage will retain your work, that colors will match a specific print standard, or that the tool will meet a particular regulatory requirement in your field.
Low-contrast warnings, templates, and help text are aids. They are not a guarantee of accessibility compliance, of arithmetic correctness, or of fitness for a clinical, legal, financial, or educational record. You must review the output. If a jurisdiction does not allow an exclusion of certain warranties, those warranties are limited to the shortest period and the narrowest scope the law allows. The price of the service is zero. You should not rely on it as if you had purchased a certified records system.
To the extent the law allows, Tabley is not liable for lost profits, lost data, lost drafts, incorrect decisions made from a table, or damages arising from use or inability to use the site. Your data-loss control is to export. If the law of a place requires a non-excludable liability, that liability is limited to the amount you paid for the tool in the month of the claim. For a free tool, that amount is nothing, except where a statute says a different floor is mandatory. These sentences are a risk allocation for a free browser utility, not a promise that no dispute can ever exist.
Some places do not allow certain limitations. In those places, the limitation applies only as far as it legally can. Nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot legally be excluded, including liability for fraud or for harm that a statute refuses to let a publisher waive. If you need advice about your situation, ask a lawyer in your jurisdiction. These terms are not that advice, and Tabley does not offer legal services through the contact inbox.
Changes, interruptions, and discontinuation
Tabley may change, suspend, or discontinue the tool, the templates, the export formats, the help text, or the languages at any time. A free web tool evolves, and sometimes it ends. There is no notice period guaranteed beyond what is practical, and there is no data-export service-level agreement. While the site is up, you can export with the formats the editor currently offers. You should not wait years to export something you cannot recreate.
A change may include adding or removing an optional advertising script, adjusting colors, fixing a bug, or rewriting a help page. The privacy page describes advertising cookies if Google AdSense is enabled later, including the ads.txt publisher id ca-pub-9824879170988442. Adding such a script would not change the ownership of your cell text. Discontinuing the site would make the online editor unavailable. Files you already downloaded would remain in your possession and would not be remotely disabled, because they were generated on your device as ordinary files.
Local storage can be invalidated by a product change, by a browser change, or by a cleared cache. That is another reason the durable copy is an export, not the tab you left open. Template sample text may be edited between visits. Do not treat sample rows as a stable public dataset.
Acceptable dependence, and third parties
You may depend on an export you have checked, in the ordinary way you depend on a document you typed. You may not demand that the live website remain unchanged so that an old process, which assumed a particular button order, works forever without your review. If a classroom curriculum links to the site, the teacher should keep a local copy of any handout that must survive a site change. Linking is appreciated. A curriculum that cannot function if a free site is down for an afternoon is fragile for reasons these terms will not repair.
Third-party software is outside these terms. Excel, Google Sheets, your email app, your printer driver, a browser vendor, and any future ad network have their own terms. Paste, import, and export cross that boundary. A CSV that another program refuses to open is a problem to solve between you and that program, though a genuine Tabley export bug is still worth reporting. Fonts available in the editor depend on what the browser can draw. A missing font on one machine can change wrapping. Check the actual PDF.
If you follow a link from these help pages, it points at other pages of this same site: the home page, features, templates, tips, about, privacy, terms, and contact. Those pages are part of Tabley. They are not an endorsement of every external service you might use before or after you make a table.
Whole agreement and contact about these terms
These terms, together with the product as it actually operates and the privacy description of storage and export, are the arrangement for using the site. Help articles explain how to press the buttons. They do not silently add a warranty. A friendly sentence in a template blurb does not promise a feature the editor does not have.
If a court or a similar authority finds a sentence unenforceable, the rest remains. Failure to enforce a rule once is not a permanent waiver. These terms do not name a court, a governing-law clause tied to a street address the publisher has not published, or a mandatory arbitration program. If you have a dispute, write first to hello@tabley.online and describe the problem specifically. Many problems are misunderstandings of a free local tool and can be cleared up by pointing at the right help section. If the law requires you to bring a claim in a particular place, these terms do not pretend to move that requirement.
You may stop using Tabley at any time. The publisher may stop offering it at any time. Sections that by their nature should survive, such as the allocation of responsibility for content you already published and the warranty disclaimer for use that already occurred, survive the end of your visit.
The practical summary, which does not replace the sections above, is short. The tool is free. Personal and commercial use of tables you create is allowed. The content you type is yours. Do not abuse the site. There is no warranty. Tabley may change or discontinue the tool. Keep exports of anything you need to keep. If that summary conflicts with a fuller paragraph above, the fuller paragraph is the term.
