Deutschland
WhatTheDelta is a browser-based utility for comparing two versions of content. It is intended as a helper tool for review workflows.
2. Nature of the Service
WhatTheDelta is provided as a free utility tool.
The tool is designed to help users identify visible differences between an original and a revised version of content, including additions, removals, rewording, numeric changes, date changes, punctuation differences, and similar textual changes.
Unless explicitly stated otherwise on the website, WhatTheDelta:
- runs locally in the user's browser
- does not require a user account
- does not provide legal, editorial, compliance, or professional advice
- does not make decisions on behalf of the user
3. No Professional Advice
The output of WhatTheDelta is provided for informational and supportive purposes only.
Use of the tool does not replace legal review, editorial judgment, compliance assessment, policy review, or any other professional evaluation. Users remain solely responsible for reviewing content and for any decisions taken on the basis of the tool's output.
4. No Guarantee of Completeness or Fitness
We aim to provide a reliable and useful tool. However, WhatTheDelta is provided “as is” and “as available.”
We do not guarantee that:
- the service will be uninterrupted or error-free
- every change will be detected, classified, or displayed in the way a user expects
- the output will be complete, accurate, or suitable for a specific purpose
- the service will always be available in its current form
5. Permitted Use
You may use WhatTheDelta only in compliance with applicable law and these Terms.
You must not:
- use the service for unlawful purposes
- interfere with or disrupt the operation, availability, or security of the website
- attempt to access areas, systems, or infrastructure not intended for public use
- use automated means to overload, scrape, attack, or misuse the service
- circumvent technical safeguards, rate limits, or protective measures
- use the service in a way that could damage, disable, or impair its availability for others
We may suspend or restrict access where necessary to protect the service, infrastructure, other users, or our legitimate interests.
6. Intellectual Property
All rights in the website, branding, design, text, code, and presentation of WhatTheDelta, except user-provided content and third-party rights, remain with us or our licensors.
These Terms do not transfer any intellectual property rights to you except for the limited right to use the service as intended.
Restrictions on technical analysis and copying
Except where mandatory law permits otherwise, you may not reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, scrape, copy, extract, mirror, or otherwise use WhatTheDelta or any part of the website for the purpose of recreating its implementation, reproducing its protected features, or deliberately building a substantially similar service.
In particular, you may not:
- extract or attempt to extract source code or protected technical implementation details
- copy the service's interface, design, structure, or protected brand presentation for a competing or derivative offering
- use automated tools to scrape, monitor, map, or replicate the service
- bypass technical safeguards, rate limits, or security mechanisms
- use the service in a way that infringes our intellectual property rights or other rights
7. User Content
You remain responsible for the content you enter into the tool and for ensuring that you are permitted to process it.
You must not use the service in a way that violates the rights of third parties, confidentiality obligations, data protection law, or applicable law.
Where the tool operates locally in the browser, you acknowledge that you decide which content to process and do so at your own responsibility.
8. Availability and Changes
We may update, modify, suspend, or discontinue all or part of WhatTheDelta at any time, in particular for technical, security, legal, or operational reasons.
We do not guarantee permanent availability of the service.
9. Liability
We are liable without limitation in cases of intent and gross negligence, and in cases of injury to life, body, or health to the extent required by law.
In cases of ordinary negligence, we are liable only for breach of an essential contractual obligation (Kardinalpflicht), and only for foreseeable damage typical for this type of contract.
Any further liability is excluded to the extent permitted by law.
Nothing in these Terms limits liability where such limitation is not permitted under applicable law.
10. External Links and Third-Party Services
The website may contain links to third-party websites or services. We are not responsible for third-party content, availability, or practices unless required by law.
11. Privacy
Information on the processing of personal data is set out separately in our Privacy Policy.
12. Applicable Law
These Terms are governed by the law of the Federal Republic of Germany, excluding conflict-of-law rules, unless mandatory consumer protection law provides otherwise.
If you are a merchant, legal entity under public law, or special fund under public law, the place of jurisdiction shall be Bielefeld, Germany, to the extent permitted by law.
13. Severability
If any provision of these Terms is invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain unaffected.
