Short version: EmojiBase is free to use for personal and commercial purposes. You may not scrape the site in bulk, republish our content as your own, or use the service for unlawful purposes. Emoji characters themselves are governed by the Unicode Consortium's open standards.

4. Intellectual Property
The original content on EmojiBase — including emoji meaning descriptions, articles, FAQs, tool interfaces, and design — is owned by EmojiBase and protected by copyright law. All rights reserved.
You may quote or reference small portions of our content for educational, journalistic, or commentary purposes, provided you give clear attribution to EmojiBase with a link to the original page.
You may not republish our articles, copy our emoji meaning descriptions verbatim to another website, or use our content in any way that suggests you are the original author.
5. Emoji Content & Unicode
Emoji characters (the pictograms themselves, such as 😀 🔥 ❤️) are defined by the Unicode Consortium and are open standards. They are not owned by EmojiBase, Apple, Google, or any single company.
Emoji artwork (the visual rendering on each platform) is copyrighted by the respective platform vendors (Apple, Google, Microsoft, Samsung, etc.). EmojiBase does not distribute platform emoji artwork.
You are free to copy, paste, and use emoji characters in any personal or commercial context — they are Unicode text characters.
6. User-Generated Content
EmojiBase does not currently host user-generated content, comments, or accounts. If we introduce such features in the future, separate terms will govern that content.
When you contact us via our contact form or email, you grant us permission to use your message to respond to your enquiry and improve the Service.
7. Disclaimers
The Service is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, either express or implied. EmojiBase makes no warranties that:
- The Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure
- Emoji meaning information will be complete, accurate, or current at all times
- Any errors or defects will be corrected
Emoji meanings evolve with culture and language. While we strive for accuracy, we cannot guarantee that every meaning interpretation reflects universal usage across all communities, regions, or contexts.
8. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, EmojiBase and its operators shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of or inability to use the Service — including but not limited to loss of data, loss of profits, or loss of goodwill.
Our total liability for any claim arising from your use of the Service shall not exceed £100 (one hundred British pounds) or the equivalent in your local currency.

The Service may contain links to third-party websites or services (including Unicode.org, Emojipedia, Google Fonts, and others). These links are provided for informational convenience only.
EmojiBase does not endorse, control, or assume responsibility for the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party sites or services. We encourage you to review the privacy policies and terms of any third-party sites you visit.
10. Modifications to Terms
We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. We will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page when changes are made. Material changes will be noted with a prominent notice on the Service.
Your continued use of the Service after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms. If you do not agree to the new Terms, you must stop using the Service.
