Terms of Service

Last updated: March 1, 2026

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using CookieWard ("the Service"), including the Chrome extension and the website at cookieward.com, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree to these terms, do not use the Service.

2. Nature of the Service

CookieWard is a software tool that performs automated analysis of publicly observable website characteristics related to privacy compliance. CookieWard is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice, legal opinions, or regulatory counsel of any kind. Nothing in the Service, its output, scan results, scores, recommendations, or any communications from CookieWard constitutes legal advice. No attorney-client relationship is created by your use of the Service.

You should consult a qualified attorney or privacy professional licensed in the relevant jurisdiction before making any decisions regarding legal compliance.

3. Informational Purpose Only

The scan results, compliance scores, findings, and recommendations generated by CookieWard are provided for informational and educational purposes only. They represent an automated, point-in-time assessment of publicly detectable indicators and do not constitute a comprehensive legal audit, legal opinion, or certification of compliance with any law or regulation, including but not limited to the LGPD (Brazil), GDPR (European Union), CCPA/CPRA (California), or any other applicable privacy law.

4. No Guarantee of Compliance or Accuracy

CookieWard does not warrant or guarantee that:

  • The Service will detect all cookies, trackers, or compliance issues present on your website.
  • The scan results are complete, accurate, or up to date.
  • Your use of the Service or implementation of any recommendations will result in compliance with any applicable law or regulation.
  • Your website will be free from regulatory investigation, enforcement action, or fines.

Regulatory compliance depends on numerous legal, technical, and operational factors that cannot be fully assessed by automated scanning alone. Scan results may not be 100% complete and should not be considered an extensive compliance check.

5. Your Responsibility

You are solely and exclusively responsible for:

  • Ensuring that your website complies with all applicable laws and regulations.
  • The correct technical implementation of any consent management, cookie blocking, or privacy controls on your website.
  • Verifying that any policies, banners, or notices displayed on your website meet the legal requirements of the jurisdictions in which you operate.
  • Any regulatory fines, penalties, enforcement actions, or other legal consequences arising from your website's privacy practices.

CookieWard's role is limited to providing a software scanning tool. CookieWard is not responsible for any fines, penalties, or enforcement actions you may receive for not following the LGPD, GDPR, CCPA, or any other laws or regulations.

6. Accounts and Plans

The Service is available in free and paid tiers. Free accounts are limited to 3 scans per day. Paid plans (Pro and Agency) provide additional features as described on the pricing page.

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials. You agree to provide accurate information when creating your account and to notify us immediately of any unauthorized use of your account.

7. Payments and Subscriptions

Paid subscriptions are billed monthly through Stripe. By subscribing to a paid plan, you authorize us to charge the applicable fees to your payment method. Subscriptions auto-renew unless cancelled before the end of the billing period.

You may cancel your subscription at any time through the billing portal. Upon cancellation, your paid features remain active until the end of the current billing period.

8. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

  • Use the Service for any unlawful purpose.
  • Attempt to circumvent rate limits, access controls, or security measures.
  • Use automated tools to excessively access the Service beyond normal usage.
  • Resell, sublicense, or redistribute the Service without written permission.
  • Reverse-engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract the source code of the Service.

9. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, COOKIEWARD DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY, COMPLETENESS, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTIES ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR COURSE OF PERFORMANCE. COOKIEWARD DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR FREE OF HARMFUL COMPONENTS.

10. Limitation of Liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL COOKIEWARD, ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AFFILIATES, OR SERVICE PROVIDERS BE LIABLE FOR ANY: (A) INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES; (B) LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, BUSINESS, OR GOODWILL; (C) REGULATORY FINES, PENALTIES, OR ENFORCEMENT COSTS; (D) COST OF SUBSTITUTE SERVICES; OR (E) ANY OTHER LOSSES OR DAMAGES, WHETHER ARISING IN CONTRACT, TORT, STRICT LIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF COOKIEWARD HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

IN ANY EVENT, COOKIEWARD'S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE TOTAL AMOUNT PAID BY YOU TO COOKIEWARD IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR (B) TEN US DOLLARS (US$10.00).

12. Intellectual Property

All content, features, and functionality of the Service, including but not limited to text, graphics, logos, icons, software, and the underlying code, are the exclusive property of CookieWard and are protected by applicable intellectual property laws.
