Terms of use

Last updated: 26 September 2026

1. About these terms

These terms apply to your use of localization.guide, including its reference pages, engineering guides, code examples, and browser-based tools (together, the “site”). By using the site you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.

2. Information only

The site is an engineering reference. It is not legal, financial, postal-deliverability, or telecommunications-assignment advice. Locale, currency, postal, and numbering data change over time, so check the linked authoritative source before relying on the information for a production, regulatory, or commercial decision.

3. No warranty

We aim to keep the content accurate and current (see the editorial methodology), but the site, its content, code examples, and tools are provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including accuracy, completeness, fitness for a particular purpose, availability, or non-infringement.

4. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the operator of localization.guide is not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential loss, or for any loss of profit, revenue, data, or business, arising from your use of or inability to use the site, or from reliance on its content or code examples. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited under applicable law.

5. Affiliate links and advertising

Some pages contain clearly labelled affiliate links, such as a travel eSIM offer on country reference pages. If you make a purchase after following one, localization.guide may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. The site may also display advertising, including ads served by Google AdSense and other partners. Purchases from partners are governed by the partner's own terms, and commercial relationships do not change the reference data. See the privacy notice for how advertising cookies are used.

6. Code examples and acceptable use

You may use the short code snippets shown on the site in your own projects. Please use the site reasonably: do not attempt to disrupt the service, scrape it in a way that degrades availability, or use it for unlawful purposes. We may change or withdraw any part of the site at any time.

7. Third-party content and links

The site links to external standards bodies, documentation, and partner websites, and uses data from sources such as Unicode CLDR, ISO 4217, Geoapify address templates, and libphonenumber-js under their respective licences. We are not responsible for the content, availability, or practices of third-party sites.

8. Intellectual property

Standards and reference facts belong to their respective publishers. The site's original text, design, and compilation are protected by copyright. You may quote or reference individual facts with a link back to localization.guide.

9. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. The date at the top of this page shows when they last changed. Continued use of the site after a change means you accept the updated terms.

10. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which the site operator is established, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. This does not affect any mandatory consumer rights you have under the law of the country where you live.
