When using the sharing feature, you represent that you have the right to share the content and that it does not violate these Terms.
6. Data Processing & Security
While we implement security measures, you acknowledge that:

- You should not paste production credentials or secrets
- The HTML preview sandbox may not prevent all malicious code execution
- Shared links, even when encrypted, should not contain highly sensitive information
We recommend using test/sample data whenever possible.

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO:
- IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY
- FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE
- NON-INFRINGEMENT
- ACCURACY OR RELIABILITY OF RESULTS
We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free, or that defects will be corrected. The tools are provided for convenience and should not be relied upon for critical applications without verification.

All provisions of the Terms which by their nature should survive termination shall survive, including ownership provisions, warranty disclaimers, indemnity, and limitations of liability.
13. Governing Law
These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the jurisdiction in which the Service operator resides, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.
