Effective Date: 2026-02-03
These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of Surf Sentry, including the iOS app and associated Safari extension (collectively, the “Service”). By downloading, installing, or using the Service, you agree to these Terms.
You must be able to form a binding contract in your jurisdiction to use the Service. If you are using the Service on behalf of an organization, you represent you have authority to bind that organization to these Terms.
Surf Sentry provides tools that may include (depending on your configuration and current version):
Content blocking (ads, trackers, popups/annoyances)
Privacy and safety enhancements (link cleaning, phishing alerts, cookie utilities)
Media and reading enhancements (picture-in-picture, playback controls, offline reading tools, page capture)
Custom rules and an element picker
Mode-based behavior (e.g., daily/focus/safety-oriented modes)
The Service may behave differently across websites and over time due to changes made by websites, Safari, or iOS.
Subject to your compliance with these Terms, we grant you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to install and use the Service on Apple devices you own or control, solely for your personal or internal use.
You agree not to:
Reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or attempt to derive source code (except where permitted by law)
Bypass, disable, or interfere with security, licensing, or access controls
Use the Service to break the law, infringe rights, or facilitate harmful conduct
Use the Service to inject malware, conduct fraud, or disrupt networks or services
Misrepresent affiliation with Apple or any third party, or use our branding in a confusing way
Distribute, sell, lease, sublicense, or commercially exploit the Service unless explicitly allowed by us in writing
If you create, import, or enable custom rules, filters, or user scripts:
You are responsible for ensuring they are lawful and appropriate.
They may break site functionality (logins, payments, media playback, layouts).
You accept the risk of unexpected behavior resulting from your custom configuration.
We may provide tools that allow customization; we do not guarantee outcomes from user-created rules.
The Service interacts with third-party websites you visit. We do not control those websites and are not responsible for their content, availability, or policies. Your use of third-party websites is governed by their terms and privacy practices.
We may provide updates, patches, and feature changes to improve performance, security, compatibility, or user experience. Some features may be modified, renamed, or removed. Continued use after an update means you accept the updated Service.
If the Service offers in-app purchases or subscriptions:
Prices, billing periods, and renewal terms are shown in the App Store at purchase time.
Payments and renewals are processed by Apple.
Cancellation and refunds are handled according to Apple’s policies and your App Store settings.
If the Service is currently free, this section applies only if/when paid features are offered.
THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.
We do not guarantee that:
All ads, trackers, or annoyances will be blocked
The Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or compatible with every website
Any security or privacy feature will detect or prevent all threats
You understand that websites may implement anti-blocking measures and may change without notice.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, SURF SENTRY AND ITS DEVELOPER(S) WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, OR GOODWILL, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF (OR INABILITY TO USE) THE SERVICE.
WHERE LIABILITY CANNOT BE EXCLUDED, OUR TOTAL LIABILITY WILL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID (IF ANY) FOR THE SERVICE DURING THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM.
Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations; in those jurisdictions, liability will be limited to the fullest extent permitted.
If permitted by law, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless Surf Sentry and its developer(s) from claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees) arising from your misuse of the Service, your violation of these Terms, or your custom rules/scripts.
We may suspend or terminate your license to use the Service if you materially breach these Terms. You may stop using the Service at any time by disabling the extension and uninstalling the app. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (e.g., disclaimers and limitation of liability) will survive.
The Service, including its design, logos, icons, text, and software, is owned by us or licensed to us and is protected by applicable intellectual property laws. You may not use our trademarks without permission.
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, excluding its conflict-of-law rules. You agree that any disputes arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service will be brought in the state or federal courts located in California, and you consent to their jurisdiction.
