Terms of Service

1. What FastShortcuts Is

FastShortcuts is a free resource for developers and productivity enthusiasts. We curate keyboard shortcuts for popular tools and make them easily searchable. No signup required, no paywalls, just free information.

By using this site, you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, that's cool - just don't use the site.

2. How You Can Use FastShortcuts

You're free to:

• Browse and learn: Use any shortcuts on the site for personal or professional work
• Download PDFs: Save shortcuts for offline reference
• Share links: Send shortcuts pages to coworkers, friends, or students
• Bookmark pages: Save your favorite shortcut collections
• Use at work: Reference shortcuts in corporate environments

Basically, if you're using it to get better at your tools, you're good.

3. What You Can't Do

Please don't:

• Copy the entire site: Don't clone FastShortcuts and republish it as your own
• Scrape with bots: Automated scrapers put unnecessary load on our servers
• Sell our content: Don't package our shortcuts into paid courses or ebooks without permission
• Remove credits: If you reference our content, link back to us
• Break stuff: Don't try to hack the site, inject malicious code, or DDoS us
• Impersonate us: Don't pretend to be FastShortcuts or claim we endorse your product

If you want to do something not covered here, just ask us. We're pretty reasonable.

4. Content Accuracy

We do our best to keep shortcuts accurate and up-to-date, but:

• Software updates change shortcuts sometimes
• Different OS versions might have different key bindings
• Custom configurations can override defaults

The bottom line: If a shortcut doesn't work for you, it might be due to your specific setup. We're not responsible if Ctrl+S launches a rocket instead of saving your file (though that would be cool).

5. Intellectual Property

Here's the deal with ownership:

• The shortcuts themselves: Not ours. They belong to Microsoft, Apple, JetBrains, etc. We just document them.
• Our presentation: The way we organize, describe, and present shortcuts is our original work
• The design: Site layout, CSS, and functionality are ours
• Your feedback: If you suggest improvements, we can use them without owing you royalties

6. Third-Party Links

We sometimes link to official documentation (VS Code docs, Microsoft support, etc.). We don't control those sites and aren't responsible for their content or policies.

If a link is broken or points somewhere sketchy, let us know and we'll fix it.

7. No Warranties (The Legal CYA)

FastShortcuts is provided "as is." We're not making any guarantees about:

• Uptime (though we aim for 99.9%)
• Perfect accuracy (we're human)
• Compatibility with every system configuration
• Freedom from bugs (we squash them when we find them)

Translation: We built this to be helpful, but we're a small team, not a billion-dollar corporation with unlimited resources.

8. Limitation of Liability

If using a shortcut somehow causes a problem (data loss, RSI from too much keyboard use, existential crisis from coding efficiency), we're not liable. Use shortcuts at your own risk.

This sounds harsh, but it's standard for free websites. We're protecting ourselves from frivolous lawsuits.

9. User-Generated Content

If you send us feedback, suggestions, or shortcut corrections:

• We can use them to improve the site
• You won't own the updated content
• We might credit you (if you want)
• You promise you're not sending copyrighted material

10. Changes to These Terms

We might update these terms occasionally. When we do:

• We'll update the date at the top
• Major changes will be announced on the homepage
• Continued use means you accept the new terms

11. Termination

We reserve the right to ban users who abuse the site (spam bots, hackers, content thieves). But honestly, we'd rather just have a conversation first.

12. Governing Law

These terms are governed by common sense and fair use principles. If there's ever a legal dispute (knock on wood), we'll try to resolve it amicably first.

13. Contact & Questions

Got questions about these terms? Think something's unclear?

We're developers who hate legalese as much as you do. Let's keep this simple and reasonable.
