Terms of Service

Last reviewed · fixmic team

fixmic is provided free of charge for anyone to use, under the conditions below. Using the site means you accept these terms — if you do not agree with them, please do not use the service.

Who these terms apply to

In these terms, 'fixmic', 'we', and 'us' mean the fixmic website at fixmic.com and the microphone diagnostic it provides (together, 'the service'); 'you' means anyone who accesses or uses it. There is no account to create and nothing to sign — using the service is itself your acceptance of these terms and of our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated by reference.

Use of the service

The microphone test is a free tool for diagnosing audio problems. You may use it for personal or commercial purposes — for example, before a job interview, before recording a podcast, or as part of customer support. You are responsible for the device, microphone, and browser you use, for granting the microphone permission your browser asks for, and for making sure you are allowed to capture audio in your surroundings. You may not abuse the service in ways that harm it for other users — for example, automated load testing or scraping without permission, attempting to overload or break the site, or using it for any unlawful purpose.

Diagnostic results are informational, not professional advice

The diagnostic applies a small set of common audio rules to what your microphone picks up. Its findings are meant to help you spot obvious problems quickly — they are not professional audio-engineering, acoustic, or equipment advice, and they are not a substitute for a real test inside the app you actually plan to use (Zoom, Teams, and so on). The results may miss a genuine problem or occasionally flag one that is not there, so use your own judgement before relying on them for anything important.

Advertising and third-party services

fixmic is free for users. To cover hosting and the domain, the site plans to display advertising served by Google AdSense. Adverts are selected and served by Google and other third parties, not by us; we are not responsible for the content of any advert or for the products, services, or sites it promotes. How advertising cookies and data are handled is described in our Privacy Policy. The site is hosted on Cloudflare and uses Cloudflare's cookieless analytics, and your use of the service is also subject to those providers' own terms.

Links to other sites

Some of our troubleshooting guides link to external pages — such as Zoom, Microsoft, or Apple support — when those pages hold the authoritative instructions for a fix. We do not control those sites and are not responsible for their content, accuracy, or practices. Following an external link is at your own risk.

No warranty

The service is provided 'as is' and 'as available', without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied — including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. The diagnostic results are based on common audio rules and may not catch every problem, and may occasionally produce a false positive. We do not guarantee that the results will be correct in every case, or that the service will be available, uninterrupted, secure, or error-free.

Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, fixmic and its operator are not liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising from your use of, or inability to use, the service. This includes, but is not limited to, missed business opportunities or lost recordings due to mic problems that the diagnostic did not catch. Because the service is provided free of charge, nothing in these terms limits any rights you have under mandatory consumer-protection law that cannot be waived by agreement.

Intellectual property

The fixmic name, logo, design, and source code are the property of the operator and are protected by copyright and trademark law. The source code is not open source — you may use the service as intended, but you may not copy, scrape, rebrand, or redistribute the site, its code, or its design as your own. The text of the troubleshooting guides may be quoted for non-commercial purposes with clear credit and a link back to fixmic.com.

Who may use fixmic

fixmic is a general-purpose tool intended for a general audience; it is not directed at children. If you are under the age of majority in your country, please use the service only with the involvement of a parent or guardian. The service requires no account and collects no personal data on our side — see the Privacy Policy for the details.

If part of these terms is unenforceable

If any provision of these terms is found to be unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that provision will be limited or removed to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions will stay in full effect.

Governing law and disputes

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Israel, and any dispute arising from the use of the service will be heard exclusively in the competent courts of Tel Aviv-Yafo. Nothing in this clause removes the protection of any mandatory law of your country of residence that applies to you as a consumer and cannot be overridden by agreement.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. When we do, we will post the updated version on this page and change the 'Last reviewed' date shown at the top. Continued use of the service after a change means you accept the updated terms.
