Last Updated: March 9, 2026

1. Agreement to Terms

By accessing or using BG Info (bginfo.org), 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 site in any capacity. Your continued use of BG Info after any changes to these Terms means you accept those changes.

2. Description of Service

BG Info is an independently operated informational website. We provide guides, download links, and reference material related to BGInfo, a system information display utility developed by Mark Russinovich as part of Microsoft’s Sysinternals suite.

We are not the developer, publisher, or official distributor of BGInfo. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to Microsoft or Sysinternals in any official way.

We do not host software files on our servers. All download links point to official or original sources, such as the Microsoft Sysinternals download page. The content on this site is provided for informational and educational purposes only.

3. Intellectual Property

BGInfo, Sysinternals, and Microsoft are trademarks of their respective owners. All software names, logos, and trademarks mentioned on this site belong to their respective holders. We use these names solely for identification and informational purposes.

Original content on this site — including articles, guides, descriptions, page designs, and HTML/CSS code — is the property of BG Info (bginfo.org). You may not copy, reproduce, or redistribute our original content without written permission.

The BGInfo software itself remains the intellectual property of Microsoft Corporation.

4. Use of the Website

You agree to use this website only for lawful purposes. When using BG Info, you agree not to:

  • Use the site in any way that violates applicable local, state, national, or international laws
  • Attempt to interfere with the site’s operation, security features, or server infrastructure
  • Scrape, crawl, or harvest content from this site without prior written permission
  • Use the site to distribute malware, spam, phishing content, or any malicious material
  • Impersonate any person, organization, or entity
  • Use automated tools or bots to access the site at a rate that could damage or overload our servers
  • Attempt to circumvent any security measures or access restricted areas of the site

5. Downloads and Software

This is an important section. Please read it carefully.

All download links on BG Info direct you to external sources — primarily Microsoft’s official Sysinternals download page. We do not host, modify, repackage, or redistribute any software files.

Because we link to external sources, we cannot guarantee the safety, integrity, or continued availability of any software at those links. You are solely responsible for:

  • Verifying the authenticity of any downloaded software before running it
  • Scanning downloaded files with up-to-date antivirus software before installation
  • Reading and agreeing to the software’s own license agreement (the Sysinternals Software License Terms)
  • Confirming compatibility with your operating system and hardware
  • Backing up your data before installing or running any software

We do not provide technical support for BGInfo or any other software featured on this site. For technical support, contact the software’s official developer (Microsoft Sysinternals).

Download links may become outdated as developers update their distribution methods. We make reasonable efforts to keep links current, but cannot guarantee every link will work at all times.

6. Disclaimer of Warranties

BG Info and all of its content is 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 this site
  • That the site will be available without interruption or free of errors
  • That the site or its servers are free from viruses or other harmful components
  • Fitness for a particular purpose or merchantability
  • That download links will remain functional or point to current software versions

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

7. Limitation of Liability

Under no circumstances shall BG Info, its operators, contributors, or affiliates be liable for any of the following:

  • Any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages of any kind
  • Damages arising from your use of, or inability to use, this website
  • Damages arising from any software downloaded through links on this site
  • Loss of data, revenue, profit, or business opportunity
  • Computer damage, data corruption, or system instability
  • Any action taken based on information provided on this site

This limitation applies whether the claim is based on warranty, contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, or any other legal theory — even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Our total aggregate liability to you for all claims shall not exceed zero dollars ($0.00 USD).

8. External Links

BG Info contains links to third-party websites and resources, including the official Microsoft Sysinternals page and other external sources. These links are provided for your convenience and reference.

We have no control over the content, privacy policies, or practices of any external websites. Linking to an external site does not imply endorsement or responsibility for that site’s content or policies.

You access external links entirely at your own risk. We recommend reviewing the terms of service and privacy policies of any third-party site before using it.

9. Advertisements

This website may display advertisements served through Google AdSense or similar third-party advertising networks. These ads are selected and delivered 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 like your browsing history and location.

Clicking on any advertisement is at your own discretion and risk. We are not responsible for the content, accuracy, or reliability of any advertised products or services.

10. Content Accuracy and Updates

We make reasonable efforts to keep the information on BG Info accurate and up to date. However, software evolves constantly. Version numbers, feature lists, system requirements, and download availability can change without notice from the software developer.

We cannot guarantee that every piece of information on this site reflects the latest state of the software at any given moment. We reserve the right to modify, update, or remove any content on this site without prior notice.

If you spot outdated or inaccurate information, we appreciate hearing about it through our Contact page.

11. DMCA and Copyright

We respect intellectual property rights and take copyright concerns seriously. If you believe that any content on BG Info infringes your copyright, please refer to our Disclaimer page for the full DMCA takedown process and contact information.

We will respond promptly to valid DMCA notices submitted in accordance with applicable law.

12. Privacy

Your use of BG Info is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which describes how we collect, use, and protect your information.

By using this site, you consent to the collection and use of information as described in our Privacy Policy. We encourage you to read it in full.

13. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless BG Info and its operators from any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from:

  • Your use of this website
  • Your violation of these Terms of Service
  • Your violation of any third-party rights, including intellectual property rights
  • Any content you submit through the contact form or other means

14. Governing Law

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

Any disputes arising from these Terms or your use of the site shall first be resolved through good-faith negotiation between the parties. If negotiation does not resolve the dispute, either party may submit the matter to the appropriate courts of competent jurisdiction.

15. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect. The invalid provision will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable while preserving its original intent.

16. Changes to Terms

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

Your continued use of BG Info after any changes to these Terms constitutes your acceptance of those changes. We encourage you to review this page periodically.

17. Termination

We reserve the right to restrict, suspend, or terminate your access to BG Info at any time, without prior notice, for any reason, including violation of these Terms.

All provisions of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination will survive, including ownership provisions, warranty disclaimers, indemnification, and limitations of liability.

18. Entire Agreement

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

19. Contact
