Terms of Service
Last updated: January 10, 2026
Summary: ChunkAudio is a free tool. Use it responsibly and legally. Your files stay on your device - we're not responsible for what you do with them.
1. Acceptance of Terms
By accessing or using ChunkAudio (the "Service") at chunkaudio.com, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, please do not use the Service.
2. Description of Service
ChunkAudio is a free, browser-based audio splitting tool that allows users to divide audio files into equal-length segments. The Service processes audio entirely within your web browser using client-side technologies. No audio files are uploaded to or stored on our servers.
3. Use of the Service
You may use ChunkAudio for any lawful purpose, including:
- Splitting personal audio recordings
- Dividing podcasts or audiobooks for personal use
- Preparing audio files for transcription services
- Creating audio segments for educational purposes
- Any other legal use consistent with these Terms
4. Prohibited Uses
You agree NOT to use ChunkAudio to:
- Process audio files you don't have the right to use or modify
- Infringe on copyrights, trademarks, or other intellectual property rights
- Circumvent digital rights management (DRM) protections
- Distribute copyrighted content without authorization
- Engage in any activity that violates applicable laws or regulations
- Attempt to disrupt, damage, or gain unauthorized access to our Service
- Use the Service for any illegal or harmful purpose
5. Intellectual Property
Your Content: You retain all rights to the audio files you process using ChunkAudio. We do not claim any ownership or rights to your content.
Our Service: The ChunkAudio website, branding, design, and underlying code are owned by us and protected by intellectual property laws. You may not copy, modify, or distribute our Service without permission.
6. Privacy
Your use of the Service is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which explains how we handle (or don't handle) your data. The key point: your audio files never leave your device.
7. Disclaimer of Warranties
ChunkAudio is provided "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE" without warranties of any kind, either express or implied, including but not limited to:
- Warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose
- Warranties that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure
- Warranties regarding the accuracy or reliability of results
We do our best to provide a reliable service, but we cannot guarantee it will work perfectly in all circumstances or on all devices.
8. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, ChunkAudio and its operators shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including but not limited to:
- Loss of data or audio files
- Loss of profits or business opportunities
- Damages arising from your use or inability to use the Service
- Any errors or omissions in the Service
Since all processing happens on your device, you are responsible for backing up your original files before using our Service.
9. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless ChunkAudio and its operators from any claims, damages, losses, or expenses (including legal fees) arising from your use of the Service or violation of these Terms.
10. Third-Party Services
Our Service may include links to third-party websites or services (such as advertising networks). We are not responsible for the content, privacy practices, or terms of these third parties. Your use of third-party services is at your own risk.
11. Modifications to Service
We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service at any time without notice. We may also update these Terms from time to time. Continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance of the new Terms.
12. Termination
We reserve the right to restrict or terminate access to the Service for users who violate these Terms or engage in abusive behavior. Since we don't require accounts, "termination" would typically mean blocking access from specific IP addresses or taking other technical measures.
13. Governing Law
These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with applicable laws, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any disputes arising from these Terms or your use of the Service shall be resolved in accordance with applicable law.
14. Severability
If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision shall be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.
15. Contact

In Plain English: ChunkAudio is a free tool we provide as-is. Use it for legal purposes, respect others' copyrights, and don't try to break things. We're not responsible if something goes wrong - always keep backups of your original files!
