Effective Date: March 18, 2026

Last Updated: March 18, 2026

1. Agreement to Terms

By accessing or using gparted.net (“the Website,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree with any part of these Terms, you should stop using the Website immediately.

These Terms apply to all visitors, users, and anyone who accesses or uses the Website in any capacity. Your continued use of the Website following any updates to these Terms means you accept those changes.

2. Description of Service

gparted.net is an independently operated informational website. We provide guides, tutorials, download links, and general information about GParted (GNOME Partition Editor), a free and open-source partition management tool.

Important clarifications:

  • We are not the developer, publisher, or official distributor of GParted. GParted is developed and maintained by the GParted Project under the GNOME umbrella.
  • We do not host software files on our servers. All download links point to official or original sources such as SourceForge and the GParted project page.
  • This Website is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by the GParted Project, GNOME, or any related organization.
  • All content on this Website is provided for informational and educational purposes only.

3. Intellectual Property

GParted, the GParted logo, GNOME, and all related names and trademarks belong to their respective owners. Our use of these names and marks on this Website is strictly for identification and informational purposes and does not imply any affiliation or endorsement.

Original content on this Website — including articles, guides, descriptions, page designs, and HTML/CSS code — is the property of gparted.net. You may not copy, reproduce, distribute, or create derivative works from our original content without prior written permission.

The software featured on this Website (GParted) is released under the GNU General Public License v2+ and remains the intellectual property of its developers.

4. Use of the Website

You agree to use this Website only for lawful purposes. When using gparted.net, you agree not to:

  • Use the site in any way that violates applicable local, national, or international laws or regulations
  • Attempt to interfere with the Website’s operation, security, or infrastructure
  • Scrape, crawl, or harvest content from the Website without written permission
  • Use the Website to distribute malware, spam, or any form of malicious content
  • Impersonate any person, entity, or organization
  • Use automated tools, bots, or scripts to access the Website excessively
  • Attempt to circumvent any security measures or access restricted areas

5. Downloads and Software

This is important — please read carefully.

All download links on gparted.net direct you to external sources, primarily SourceForge and official GParted project mirrors. We do not host, modify, repackage, or redistribute any software files.

You are solely responsible for:

  • Verifying the authenticity and integrity of any downloaded software before use
  • Scanning downloaded files with up-to-date antivirus or anti-malware software before installation
  • Reading and agreeing to GParted’s own license agreement (GNU GPL v2+) before use
  • Checking that GParted or GParted Live is compatible with your hardware and operating system
  • Backing up your data before using any partition editing software — partition operations carry inherent risk of data loss
  • Understanding the risks of booting from external media (GParted Live ISO)

We do not provide technical support for GParted. If you need help with the software, consult the official GParted documentation or community forums.

Download links may become outdated as new versions are released. We make reasonable efforts to keep them current, but we cannot guarantee that every link will work at all times.

6. Disclaimer of Warranties

The Website and all its content are provided on an “AS IS” and “AS AVAILABLE” basis. We make no warranties or representations of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including but not limited to:

  • The accuracy, completeness, or reliability of any information on the Website
  • That the Website will be available without interruption or free from errors
  • That the Website or its servers are free from viruses or harmful components
  • Fitness for a particular purpose or merchantability
  • That download links will work, be current, or lead to the correct files
  • That information about GParted (version numbers, features, system requirements) is accurate at the time you read it

We expressly disclaim all warranties to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

7. Limitation of Liability

Under no circumstances shall gparted.net, its operators, contributors, or affiliates be liable for any:

  • Direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages of any kind
  • Damages arising from your use of, or inability to use, the Website
  • Damages arising from any software downloaded through links on this Website, including but not limited to data loss, partition corruption, system failure, or hardware damage
  • Loss of data, revenue, profit, business opportunity, or goodwill
  • Computer damage, system corruption, or data loss resulting from the use of GParted or GParted Live
  • Any action taken based on information provided on this Website

This limitation applies regardless of the legal theory (warranty, contract, tort, negligence, or otherwise), even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages. Our total cumulative liability shall not exceed zero dollars ($0).

Partition editing is inherently risky. GParted modifies disk partition tables and file system structures. Incorrect use can result in permanent, irrecoverable data loss. We accept no responsibility for any outcomes resulting from using GParted or following guides on this Website.

9. Advertisements

This Website may display advertisements served through Google AdSense or similar third-party advertising networks. These advertisements are managed by the ad network, not by us.

  • We do not endorse any products or services shown in advertisements
  • Ad content is determined by the advertising network based on factors such as your browsing history and interests
  • Clicking on any advertisement is at your own discretion and risk
  • We are not responsible for the content, accuracy, or reliability of any advertisement displayed on this Website

10. Content Accuracy and Updates

We make reasonable efforts to provide accurate and up-to-date information about GParted, including version numbers, features, system requirements, and download links. However, software development moves fast — versions change, features are added or removed, and system requirements evolve.

We cannot guarantee that all information on the Website is current or accurate at any given moment. We reserve the right to modify, update, or remove any content without prior notice.

If you spot inaccurate information on gparted.net, we would appreciate hearing about it through our Contact page.

We will review and respond to valid DMCA notices promptly and take appropriate action as required by law.

14. Governing Law

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with applicable laws, without regard to conflict of law principles.

Any disputes arising from or related to these Terms or your use of the Website shall first be resolved through good-faith negotiation. If negotiation does not resolve the dispute, it shall be submitted to the appropriate courts of competent jurisdiction. You agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of such courts.

15. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid, unlawful, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, that provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable. All remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.

16. Changes to Terms

We reserve the right to modify these Terms of Service at any time. When we make changes, we will update the “Last Updated” date at the top of this page.

Your continued use of gparted.net after any changes have been posted constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms. We encourage you to review this page periodically to stay informed.

17. Termination

We reserve the right to restrict or terminate your access to the Website at any time, without prior notice, for any reason, including but not limited to violation of these Terms.

All provisions of these Terms that should reasonably survive termination — including intellectual property, limitation of liability, indemnification, and disclaimer of warranties — shall continue to apply after termination.

18. Entire Agreement

These Terms of Service, together with our Privacy Policy and Disclaimer, constitute the entire agreement between you and gparted.net regarding your use of the Website. They supersede any prior agreements, communications, or understandings, whether written or oral.
