Terms of Service
Last updated: [DATE] · [LEGAL ENTITY NAME]
1. The Service
Silver Surfer Safeguard analyzes emails, messages, and web pages a protected user views and warns them about likely scams, and notifies linked family members (“dependents”). It is a protective aid, not a guarantee.
2. No guarantee — important
- The Service will not catch every scam, and may sometimes flag safe content. Detection is probabilistic and scammers constantly change tactics.
- It is not a substitute for your own judgment, for talking to family, your bank, or law enforcement, or for professional financial, legal, or security advice.
- We do not review flagged content in real time and cannot intervene in a transaction.
- Never make a financial decision based solely on the presence or absence of a Safeguard warning.
3. Accounts, pairing & consent
- Dependents are responsible for setup accuracy and for obtaining the protected user's consent before enabling monitoring. By setting someone up, you represent that you have their permission.
- The protected user must accept the in-app consent screen before monitoring begins, and may pause, disable, or uninstall the Service at any time.
- You are responsible for activity under your account and for keeping access secure.
4. Acceptable use
Do not use the Service to surveil someone without their knowledge or consent, to violate any law, or to break, overload, or reverse-engineer the Service.
5. Disclaimers
The Service is provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Service will detect any or all scams or be uninterrupted or error-free.
6. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, we will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any financial loss resulting from a scam the Service did not detect or from reliance on the Service. Our total liability is limited to [the amount you paid us in the prior 12 months / USD $100].
7. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify us against claims arising from your misuse of the Service or your failure to obtain required consent from a protected user.
8. Changes & termination
We may modify or discontinue the Service or these Terms; material changes will be surfaced in-app. You may stop using and uninstall at any time.
9. Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of [STATE], without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. [Dispute-resolution clause TBD.]
