Terms of Use

Last updated: September 12, 2026

These terms describe use of the Circuit website. By using the service, you agree to use it in accordance with these terms and applicable law.

Using the compiler

Circuit provides a free environment for writing and running small C programs in a compatible browser. Use it only for code and material you are entitled to use. Do not use it to infringe others' rights, interfere with the website, bypass its safeguards, or conduct unlawful activity.

The workspace and learning materials are intended for education and development. Do not use the site to distribute malware, attack other systems, or deliberately disrupt other users or the hosting infrastructure.

Your code and backups

You retain your rights in the code you write. Running or saving a program does not publish it or transfer ownership to Circuit. You are responsible for checking code and its output and keeping copies of work you need. Local browser storage can be cleared, become unavailable, or be lost; Circuit does not provide remote recovery.

Availability and accuracy

The service is provided as available, without a promise of uninterrupted operation, compatibility with every C program, or error-free results. Browser and WASI restrictions, resource limits, and implementation differences can affect behavior. Independently test any code before relying on it in another system.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, the service is provided without warranties and the operator is not responsible for loss caused by reliance on its output, service interruptions, or loss of locally stored work. Nothing in these terms excludes rights or liabilities that cannot lawfully be excluded.

Third-party components and links

Circuit’s branding and original written guides remain the property of their rights holders. You may use and adapt the C example snippets for your own learning and projects. That permission does not grant rights to impersonate Circuit or copy its branding. Third-party software remains subject to its own licenses.

The compiler and interface use third-party software under its respective licenses. Third-party website links are provided for information; those websites have their own terms and policies. Circuit is not affiliated with or endorsed by those providers.

Changes and contact

The service and these terms may change as Circuit develops. Review this page for updates. See the Privacy Policy for data practices and the Contact page for questions.
