Using the site
Allowed use
You may use the public tools and original guides for lawful personal or business work. Copying a Unicode character as text is different from copying a vendor’s emoji image.
Abuse and access
Do not interfere with the service, attempt unauthorized access, evade security controls, or send automated traffic that harms other visitors.
Emoji and intellectual property
Character data and artwork
Unicode character data is provided under Unicode’s terms. Your platform draws the emoji glyph artwork, and that provider may set separate terms. See how Cool Smiley handles data and artwork.
Cool Smiley work
Cool Smiley branding, original illustrations, writing, and interface design remain protected by applicable law.
Accuracy and responsible use
Changing meanings and software
We work to keep data and guides accurate. Still, social meanings change and software support varies. The service may not always be available or fit every purpose.
High-stakes messages
Do not rely on emoji alone for emergencies, legal notices, medical instructions, safety warnings, consent, or other high-stakes communication. Use clear words and suitable professional advice.
Updates and questions
We may update these terms as the service changes. Continued use after an update means you accept the revised terms. You can contact Cool Smiley with a question, read the privacy policy, or check the emoji FAQ.
