Terms of Use
Acceptance of Terms
Welcome to CSSPainter. These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the CSSPainter website and services located at https://css.thebirthflower.com (the "Service"), operated by CSSPainter ("we," "us," or "our").
By accessing or using the Service, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not use the Service. These Terms apply to all visitors, users, and others who access or use the Service.
We reserve the right to update or modify these Terms at any time. We will indicate the date of the most recent revision at the top of this page. Your continued use of the Service after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the new Terms.
Description of Service
CSSPainter provides a collection of free, browser-based visual CSS generator tools. These tools allow users to interactively design CSS effects — including gradients, box shadows, border radii, glassmorphism effects, neumorphism shadows, text shadows, CSS filters, clip-path shapes, and animations — and generate ready-to-use CSS code with live visual preview.
The Service is provided at no charge to users and does not require registration, account creation, or personal information to use the core tools. Optional features, such as shareable preset URLs, may require your browser to make network requests to our servers to save configuration data.
We strive to keep the Service available and functional at all times, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted availability. We may modify, suspend, or discontinue the Service or any part thereof at any time without notice.
Intellectual Property
Your Generated CSS Code
The CSS code generated by CSSPainter's tools belongs entirely to you. We make no claim of ownership over any CSS values, property declarations, keyframe rules, or other code output that you create using our tools. You are free to use the generated code in any project — personal, commercial, open-source, or otherwise — without attribution, royalty, or restriction of any kind. The generated CSS is yours.
CSSPainter's Intellectual Property
The CSSPainter website itself — including its design, layout, source code, JavaScript logic, PHP backend, CSS stylesheets, written content, documentation, logos, and brand identity — is the intellectual property of CSSPainter and is protected by applicable copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws.
You may not copy, reproduce, distribute, modify, create derivative works of, publicly display, or otherwise exploit any portion of CSSPainter's own website content or code without our express written permission, except as permitted by applicable law (e.g., for personal, non-commercial study or review).
Acceptable Use
You agree to use the Service only for lawful purposes and in a manner consistent with these Terms. You agree NOT to:
- Scrape or crawl the Service in an automated manner that places excessive load on our servers or violates the directives in our
robots.txtfile. - Abuse automated requests — including sending excessive requests to the preset-saving API (
/api/save-preset.php) or contact form API in a way that constitutes denial-of-service or spam. - Circumvent security measures — including attempting to bypass rate limiting, server-side validation, or reCAPTCHA verification systems.
- Attempt unauthorized access to our databases, servers, file system, or any other non-public component of the infrastructure.
- Submit false or misleading information through the contact form or any other input.
- Misrepresent the origin of CSS code generated by our tools in a way that deceives others.
- Use the Service in any way that violates applicable local, national, or international laws or regulations.
We reserve the right to investigate suspected violations of these Terms and to take appropriate action, including restricting or terminating access to the Service for users who violate these Terms.
Shared Presets
When you use the Share feature to create a shareable URL for a CSS preset, you grant CSSPainter a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to store and serve those CSS parameter values for the purpose of delivering the shared URL to anyone who accesses it. You represent that you have the right to share the configurations you submit. We do not review shared presets before they are published.
We reserve the right to remove any shared preset that we determine, in our sole discretion, violates these Terms or is otherwise objectionable.
