1. Agreement
By visiting this site, downloading a file, or running any program obtained from tool.benlotus.com, you agree to these Terms of Use. If you do not agree, do not download or use the software.
These terms are meant to apply in the United States (including California, where the publisher is based) and anywhere else in the world you choose to use the software. Local consumer laws that cannot be waived still apply to the extent required.
2. This site only
These terms cover tool.benlotus.com only. Other sites owned by Cach Doan (BenLotus) — including wheresmypokefriend.com, watchparty.benlotus.com, and battlerealms.benlotus.com — have their own rules, including any cookie or privacy notices. Read those sites’ terms if you use them. Nothing on this tools site copies or replaces those policies.
3. Cookies and data on this site
This website does not set cookies and does not run an account system. Pages are static files. Download logs, if any, are whatever your browser and the web server already do for ordinary HTTP requests. We do not use this site to profile you.
4. The software
Programs posted here are small Windows tools published by Cach Doan (BenLotus). They are typically unsigned, portable executables. They are offered free or cheap, as described on each tool page. You get a personal, non-exclusive, revocable license to run the copy you download from this site, for lawful personal use.
You may not:
- Use the software to harm anyone, steal data, or break the law.
- Blame the publisher for how you choose to use it, including on files you do not own or should not change.
- Republish the files as if they came from someone else, or bundle malware with them.
- Treat a copy from an email, a forum, or a random mirror as official.
5. Download only from this site and check the hash
Official downloads are the files linked on this domain. Do not trust a renamed copy from
a third party. Each tool page lists a SHA-256 hash. After you save the file, compare that
hash with the file on your disk (for example with PowerShell
Get-FileHash). If it does not match, delete the file and download again from
this site.
Windows SmartScreen or antivirus may warn you because the apps are not code-signed. That is explained on each tool page. It is not a license to skip the hash check.
6. Malware, scanning, and “clean” files
These programs are written as ordinary utilities. They are not intended to contain
viruses, ransomware, spyware, stealers, or hidden remote access. You are welcome to
scan any .exe with the antivirus or sandbox you trust before you run it.
No scan is perfect. A false positive, a later Windows update, or a tampered copy from somewhere else can still look “bad.” The publisher does not warrant that every scanner on earth will always call the file clean. The published hash is how you confirm you have our build.
7. Use at your own risk — files, data, and computers
The software can rename, move, copy, overwrite, sync, or otherwise change files, bookmarks, and folders on your computer. That is what it is for. You are responsible for backups and for choosing the right folders and browsers.
If you lose files, lose bookmarks, damage a game install, lock yourself out of a profile, or spend time recovering data, that is your risk. Cach Doan, BenLotus, and anyone helping publish this site are not responsible for lost data, lost profits, downtime, or consequential damages, whether you are in California, elsewhere in the United States, or anywhere else.
8. No warranty
THE SITE AND SOFTWARE ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. THE PUBLISHER DOES NOT WARRANT UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE OPERATION.
9. Limit of liability
To the maximum extent allowed by law, the publisher’s total liability for any claim related to this site or the software is limited to the amount you paid to the publisher for that download (which is typically zero). The publisher is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, punitive, or consequential damages, or for lost data, even if advised that they might occur.
Some places do not allow certain limits. In those places, the limits apply only as far as the law allows. Nothing here is meant to limit liability that the law says cannot be limited, such as liability for our own willful misconduct where that cannot be waived.
10. Misuse
You are solely responsible for how you use the tools. If you use them in a way that harms someone else, violates a third-party license, or breaks the law, that is on you. You agree to defend and hold harmless Cach Doan (BenLotus) against claims that arise from your misuse, your modified copies, or files you obtained from anywhere other than this site.
11. Donations
Optional PayPal donations do not buy a warranty, support contract, or extra liability. They are voluntary gifts unless a receipt says otherwise.
12. California law
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, United States, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. If a court must hear a dispute, you agree that California courts are an appropriate venue, except where a non-waivable consumer law requires another forum.
13. Changes
These terms may be updated by posting a new version on this page. Continued use of the site or new downloads after a change means you accept the updated terms.
