Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of Terms

By installing or using ChargeGuardian ("the Extension"), you agree to the Terms of Service. If you do not agree, do not use the Extension.

2. Description of Service

ChargeGuardian is a browser extension that helps you verify payment methods before transactions are processed. It intercepts checkout flows, displays which payment method is about to be charged, and provides scam detection features. The Free version offers core protection. ChargeGuardian Pro is a paid upgrade that adds advanced features.

3. License

ChargeGuardian Free is provided under an open-source license. You may use, inspect, and modify the source code. ChargeGuardian Pro requires a valid license key for activation. Pro licenses are lifetime, per-user, and non-transferable.

4. Privacy & Data

ChargeGuardian's free features run in your browser and do not send your data to us. The optional Pro upgrade sends your license key to our license server to verify your purchase, and sends website hostnames to public domain registries for its domain-age check. We do not collect or sell your card numbers, payment details or personal information. Full details are in our Privacy Policy.

5. No Warranty

The Extension is provided "as is" without warranty of any kind, express or implied. While we strive to provide accurate payment interception and scam detection, we do not guarantee that ChargeGuardian will catch every fraudulent transaction or scam attempt. Users should always exercise their own judgment.

6. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, ChargeGuardian and its creators shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages resulting from the use or inability to use the Extension, including but not limited to financial losses, data loss, or security breaches.

7. Pro License & Refunds

ChargeGuardian Pro is sold as a lifetime license with a one-time payment. Refund requests are evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Contact support@chargeguardian.io for refund inquiries.

8. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

• Reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to bypass Pro license verification
• Use the Extension for any unlawful purpose
• Redistribute Pro license keys or modified versions of the Extension claiming to be official
• Use the Extension to interfere with legitimate payment processing

9. Changes to Terms

We reserve the right to update these Terms at any time. Continued use of the Extension after changes constitutes acceptance of the new Terms.
