Terms of Use

Last updated August 28, 2026

By using TextTally (countingofwords.com/, "the site"), you agree to these terms.

The Tools

Our counting tools are provided free of charge, without registration, “as is.” Chinese word counts are estimates based on a disclosed segmentation method described on the relevant tool pages. We do not guarantee that any count exactly matches the requirements of a school, employer, publisher, or other third party — always confirm official requirements with that party directly.

Acceptable Use

You agree not to use the site to violate any law, to attempt to disrupt or reverse-engineer the tools maliciously, or to scrape content at a volume that degrades service for other visitors.

Content and Guides

Educational content on this site (word-length guides, explainers) is provided for general informational purposes. Where rules genuinely vary by institution (such as academic word-count policies), we point you to check the official source rather than presenting our explanation as authoritative for your specific situation.

Intellectual Property

Site design and original written content are owned by TextTally unless otherwise noted. You may quote short excerpts with attribution and a link back to the relevant page.

No Warranty

The site is provided without warranties of any kind. To the maximum extent permitted by law, TextTally is not liable for damages arising from your use of, or inability to use, the site or its tools.

Changes

We may update these terms from time to time; continued use of the site after a change means you accept the revised terms.

Questions about these terms can be sent through our Contact page.
