Acceptable Use Policy

Last updated: November 8, 2026

This is a general template provided for your convenience. Have it reviewed by a qualified professional before relying on it.

1. Core principle

LockForge Utility Tools exists to help people and businesses regain access to documents they own or are authorized to access. It must never be used to gain access to files belonging to others, or to circumvent access controls you have no right to bypass.

2. Ownership attestation

Before every job, you must affirmatively confirm that you own the file or are authorized to access it. This attestation is recorded with your account, IP address, and a timestamp. Submitting a false attestation is a violation of these terms and may be unlawful.

3. Permitted use

Removing protection from your own PDF or Excel files when you know the password.
Recovering a forgotten password to a document you own or are authorized to access.
Business use on files your organization owns or is authorized to access.

4. Prohibited use

Accessing, unlocking, or attempting to recover the password of any file you do not own and are not authorized to access.
Using the service to commit, facilitate, or conceal any unlawful activity, including unauthorized access to data.
Attempting to bypass the service's attempt limits, account controls, or security measures.
Reselling, redistributing, or providing access to the service to unauthorized third parties.
Uploading content that is unlawful, infringing, or that you have no right to process.

5. Enforcement

We may suspend or terminate accounts, and refuse or halt any job, that we reasonably believe violates this policy. Where required by law, we may cooperate with lawful requests from authorities. Serious or repeated violations may result in permanent termination without refund.

6. Reporting misuse

If you believe LockForge is being used to access your files without authorization, contact us immediately at support@lockforge.site.

7. Changes

We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be posted here with an updated date.
