Terms & Conditions
Please read these terms carefully before using our Black Screen Checker. By using our website, you agree to these terms. They're written in plain language — no legal jargon.
Short version: We built free Black Screen Checker for everyone to use. These terms set out basic rules to keep things fair and protect both you and us. They're simple and reasonable.
Welcome to Black Screen Checker ("Black Screen Checker", "we", "our", "us"). We operate this website and all associated browser-based screen diagnostic tools, including but not limited to the Dead Pixel Tester, Stuck Pixel Fixer, Black Screen Tool, Backlight Bleed Test, PPI Calculator, Screen Cleaner, and OLED Burn-in Test.
These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") govern your access to and use of our website, tools, and any related services (collectively, the "Services"). By accessing or using our Services, you enter into a legally binding agreement with us under these Terms.
We've written these Terms in clear, straightforward language. If you have questions about anything, contact us — we're happy to explain.
By accessing or using Black Screen Checker in any way — including simply visiting the website, opening a tool, or linking to any page — you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference.
If you are using our Services on behalf of an organization, business, or legal entity, you represent that you have the authority to bind that entity to these Terms, and "you" refers to both you personally and that entity.
If you do not agree with any part of these Terms, please stop using our website immediately. Continued use of the site after any updates to these Terms constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
You must be at least 13 years of age to use our Services. By using the site, you confirm you meet this requirement. Our tools are appropriate for all ages, but legal acceptance of Terms requires minimum age compliance.
Black Screen Checker grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use our Services for personal, non-commercial purposes, subject to these Terms.

Important: Our tools are provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind. While we work hard to ensure accuracy, we cannot guarantee results will be 100% correct in every environment.
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Black Screen Checker expressly disclaims all warranties, express or implied, including but not limited to:
- Accuracy of results: Screen diagnostic results depend on your display hardware, browser, operating system, and ambient conditions. Results are indicative, not definitive. A professional hardware diagnosis may be needed for confirmed faults.
- Fitness for purpose: We do not warrant that our tools are suitable for any specific purpose, including warranty claims, product returns, or technical certification.
- Uninterrupted availability: We do not guarantee the website will be available 100% of the time. Maintenance, updates, or unforeseen outages may temporarily affect access.
- Browser and device compatibility: While we test across major browsers and devices, we cannot guarantee perfect functionality in every combination of browser, OS, and display hardware.
- Pixel fixing results: Our Stuck Pixel Fixer tool may help revive stuck pixels, but results vary by display type and age. We make no guarantee that the tool will fix any specific pixel issue.
Always use the results of our tools as one input among several when making purchasing, warranty, or repair decisions. For critical decisions, consult a qualified display technician.
To the maximum extent permitted by law: Black Screen Checker shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of our Services, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.
This includes, without limitation, damages for:
- Loss of profits, revenue, or business opportunities
- Incorrect or missed pixel defect detection
- Decisions made based on tool results (e.g. product returns, repair costs)
- Data loss, device damage, or hardware issues resulting from tool use
- Service interruptions, downtime, or inaccessibility of the website
- Actions taken or not taken in reliance on information on our site
In jurisdictions that do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages, our liability is limited to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. Because our Services are provided entirely free of charge, our total liability to you in any event shall not exceed zero dollars (or the equivalent in your local currency).
Some jurisdictions (including some US states and EU member states) do not allow certain liability exclusions. In those cases, the limitations above apply to the fullest extent legally permitted.
Our website may contain links to third-party websites, resources, or services that are not owned or controlled by Black Screen Checker. These links are provided for your convenience and reference only.
- No endorsement: Linking to a third-party site does not constitute our endorsement of that site, its content, its products, or its operators.
- No control: We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party websites.
- External policies apply: When you follow a link to a third-party site, you are subject to that site's own terms and privacy policy, not ours.
- Advertisements: Our site may display ads through Google AdSense. These are served by Google and subject to their advertising policies. We are not responsible for ad content.
We encourage you to review the privacy policy and terms of any third-party site you visit via a link from our website. If you find a link to harmful or inappropriate content on our site, please report it to us immediately.
We reserve the right to update or modify these Terms at any time. When we do, we will:
- Update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page
- Post a notice on the website for material changes
- In cases of significant changes, make reasonable effort to notify regular users
Your continued use of the website following the posting of revised Terms means that you accept and agree to the changes. It is your responsibility to review these Terms periodically to stay informed of updates.
If you disagree with any revised Terms, your only recourse is to stop using the Services. We will not retroactively apply new Terms to past use of the Services.
Our commitment: We will never make changes that reduce your rights without clear, prominent notice. Our goal is always to make these Terms fairer and clearer over time, not more restrictive.
These Terms and any disputes arising from them or from your use of our Services shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the jurisdiction in which Black Screen Checker is registered, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.
- Informal resolution first: Before bringing any formal claim, you agree to contact us and attempt to resolve the dispute informally. Most issues can be resolved quickly this way.
- Binding arbitration: If informal resolution fails, disputes shall be resolved by binding arbitration rather than in court, except where prohibited by law.
- No class actions: You agree that any dispute resolution will be conducted on an individual basis. You waive any right to participate in a class action lawsuit or class-wide arbitration.
- Exceptions: Either party may seek injunctive or emergency relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent irreparable harm pending arbitration.
If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, that provision will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, and the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.
Nothing in these Terms affects your statutory rights as a consumer. If you are a consumer in the EU or UK, you retain all rights granted to you under applicable consumer protection law, and these Terms cannot override those rights.
