Terms of Use

Acceptance of These Terms

By using PickTools.net, you agree to use its browser-based random selection, grouping, and classroom tools under these terms. These terms are intended to be clear and practical, not a complicated legal contract.

If you do not agree with these terms, you should not use the tools. Continued use of the site means you accept the current version of these terms.

Tool Purpose

PickTools.net is provided for ordinary tasks such as choosing an item from a list, creating random groups, teams or pairs, and supporting classroom routines such as student selection, countdown timing, and stopwatch timing.

The tools are practical aids. They are not designed for high-risk, formal, disciplinary, legal, medical, or other consequential decisions.

User Responsibility

Users, teachers, trainers, and activity leaders are responsible for deciding whether a generated pick, group, team, pair, or timer setting is appropriate for their situation. Classroom users may need to adjust results based on student needs, safety, accessibility, behavior, seating, or lesson goals.

You should also check visible information before displaying it on a projector, smartboard, or shared screen.

Names and Sensitive Data

Do not enter sensitive personal information into the tools. For ordinary lists and classroom activities, first names, nicknames, initials, or non-sensitive display labels are usually enough. Avoid storing information that should not be kept in browser storage or shown on a shared display.

The current tools save necessary classroom data locally in the browser, but local browser storage is still part of the device being used. Treat shared classroom computers and public devices with care.

Random Results and Timer Accuracy

Random picks, groups, teams, and pairs are intended for ordinary choices and organization. They should not be treated as official or high-stakes decisions. Review generated results before using them if your activity has special requirements.

The timer is designed to stay accurate using browser time calculations, but browser behavior, device performance, background tabs, power-saving settings, or other technical limits can affect display updates or sound playback. Use your judgment when timing important activities.

Availability and Changes

PickTools.net may be updated, paused, or changed over time. Features may be improved, adjusted, renamed, or removed as the site develops. The site may also be unavailable at times because of hosting, browser, or network issues.

No Account, Payment, or Cloud Service

The current version does not include accounts, paid features, cloud sync, student profiles, or backend user data storage. Temporary page state and local browser storage are used where needed so the tools can work in the browser.

Disclaimer

PickTools.net is provided as is for ordinary selection, grouping, and classroom convenience. The tools are offered as practical helpers, and no guarantee is made that every result will be suitable for every situation. You remain responsible for how the tools are used in your own setting.

Changes to These Terms

These terms may be updated when the site changes. The latest version on this page applies when you use the website.
