Agreement
By using win32diskimager.app ("the website"), you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, please don't use the website. We may update the terms from time to time; the date at the top of this page shows when they last changed, and continuing to use the website after a change means you accept the updated terms.
What the website provides
The website publishes information, tutorials and reference material about Win32 Disk Imager, a free and open-source utility for reading and writing raw disk images on Windows. It also links to places where the program's source code and official releases are published, such as GitHub and SourceForge.
The website doesn't sell software, require an account or provide paid support.
The software is third-party
Win32 Disk Imager is developed and published by its own contributors under the GNU General Public License version 2. win32diskimager.app doesn't develop, own, modify or distribute the program, and is not affiliated with its authors or maintainers.
When you download the software through a link on this website, you obtain it directly from the third-party host. Your use of the software is governed by its licence. The GPL v2 is provided "as is", with no warranty, and the program's own documentation warns that it is supplied without warranty.
Risk of data loss
Writing a disk image replaces all data on the selected device, including its partition table. That cannot be undone. Selecting the wrong device can erase a backup drive or other storage.
You are solely responsible for:
- choosing the correct target device;
- backing up any data you may need before writing;
- checking images and downloads with the hash values their publishers provide;
- deciding whether an image is suitable for your hardware.
Our guides explain safe practice, but following them doesn't remove these risks.
Acceptable use
You agree not to use the website or its content to:
- break any law, or infringe anyone's copyright, licence terms or other rights;
- copy, distribute or modify disk images or software you don't have permission to use;
- attempt to disrupt, overload or gain unauthorised access to the website or its hosting;
- scrape the website at a rate that affects its availability for others;
- present our content as your own work, or as official documentation from the software's authors.
Use the software only with media and images that you own or are authorised to copy.
Our content
The text, images, layout and design of this website are owned by win32diskimager.app or used with permission. You may:
- read and print pages for personal or internal use;
- quote short extracts with a link back to the source page;
- link to any page.
You may not republish whole guides or substantial parts of them, or reproduce our images, without written permission. Product names mentioned on the website belong to their respective owners and are used only to identify the products.
Accuracy
We test our guides and update them when Windows or the software changes, but technology moves quickly and mistakes can happen. Information is provided for general guidance only, without any guarantee that it is complete, current or suitable for your situation. If you find an error, please tell us at [email protected].
Third-party links
The website links to external sites that we don't control. We're not responsible for their content, availability, security or privacy practices, or for files you download from them. Check what you download, and follow each site's own terms.
Disclaimer of warranties
The website and its content are provided "as is" and "as available". To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy and non-infringement.
Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, win32diskimager.app and its contributors are not liable for any direct, indirect, incidental or consequential loss arising from:
- your use of, or inability to use, the website;
- your reliance on any information on it;
- your use of Win32 Disk Imager or any other third-party software linked from it;
- loss of data, damage to storage media or devices, or downtime.
Some jurisdictions don't allow certain limitations, so parts of this section may not apply to you. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law.
Indemnity
If you misuse the website or break these terms, and a claim is made against us as a result, you agree to cover the reasonable costs of that claim.
Availability
We may change, suspend or remove any part of the website at any time without notice, for example to update guides or carry out maintenance.
Governing principles
These terms are interpreted under the laws applicable to the website's operator, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. If any part of these terms is found unenforceable, the rest remains in effect.
