Terms of Use
What you can expect from Toolie, and what we ask from you. Last updated 9 May 2026.
The short version
Use the tools to help your everyday life. Don't try to break the site or use it for anything illegal. The tools give you helpful information, but they're not a replacement for a teacher, lawyer, doctor, financial advisor, or any other qualified professional.
What Toolie is
Toolie is a collection of free utility tools designed for life across Southern Africa. Some tools use AI to give explanations or guidance. Others are calculators or planners. All of them are intended to be helpful starting points — not professional advice.
What you agree to by using the site
1. You'll use it in good faith
Use the tools for their intended purpose. Don't try to overload our servers, scrape the site, or submit content designed to break the AI or our systems.
2. You understand AI can be wrong
The Parent Homework Helper, and any other AI-powered tools we add, can occasionally generate inaccurate information. Always sense-check explanations before relying on them. If something looks off, trust your own judgement and your child's teacher over what the AI says.
3. You won't paste personal information into AI tools
Don't paste passwords, ID numbers, banking details, or other sensitive personal information into the homework helper or any future AI tool. The tools are for general questions, not personal data processing.
4. The tools are not professional advice
Information from Toolie is general and educational. It's not legal advice, financial advice, medical advice, or a substitute for a qualified professional. For decisions that matter — choosing a university, taking a loan, taking medication — speak to a person whose actual job it is to help you with that.
Our liability
We do our best to make the tools accurate and helpful. But we provide them "as is" without warranty. We're not liable for losses or decisions made based on tool output. If a tool gives wrong information and you act on it, that's a risk you accept by using a free, AI-assisted product.
Content and intellectual property
The Toolie name, logo, and tool designs belong to us. The content we generate is yours to use freely for personal use — share an explanation with a family member, print it for your child, no problem. Don't repackage our tools as your own product or strip our branding from explanations to claim them as yours.
Advertising
Toolie may display advertising from Google AdSense and other ad networks. We don't endorse advertised products or services. If you see an ad you find inappropriate, let us know.
Changes to the tools
We add, change, and occasionally remove tools as we learn what's useful. We may also pause a tool temporarily if we're fixing something or if costs spike. We'll do our best to communicate big changes via the launch email list.
Jurisdiction
These terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of South Africa. If there's a dispute, we'd strongly prefer to sort it out by emailing each other before anyone goes near a courtroom.
