Terms of Service

Introduction

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern access to and use of the GDPRChecker website, applications, APIs, runtime scripts, scanners, dashboards, and related services (collectively, the "Service") operated by GDPRChecker, operated by QIN ZHANYA (51, Mais 1, Triq il-Molletta, Is-Swieqi, Malta) ("we", "us", or "our").

By creating an account, starting a subscription, installing our runtime, running a scan, or otherwise using the Service, you agree to these Terms and our Privacy Policy, Cookie Policy, and Disclaimer.

Service Description

GDPRChecker provides software tools to help website operators manage cookie consent, block or monitor third-party trackers, publish privacy and cookie policy pages, run automated compliance scans, and verify runtime behavior. Features vary by plan (Free, Pro, Growth).

The Service is a technical enablement platform. It does not audit your entire organization, legal program, or offline processing activities unless explicitly stated in writing.

Account Registration

You must provide accurate account information and maintain the security of your credentials. You are responsible for activity under your account, including actions taken by authorized team members.

You must be at least 18 years old. If you use the Service on behalf of a business, you confirm you have authority to bind that business.

Subscriptions and Billing

Paid plans are billed through Stripe on a recurring subscription basis unless otherwise stated at checkout. Prices, features, and plan limits are described on our pricing page.

Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each billing period unless you cancel before the renewal date. You authorize us and Stripe to charge your selected payment method for applicable fees, including taxes where required.

We may change prices or plan features with reasonable advance notice where required by law. Price changes generally apply from your next renewal after notice, not retroactively to the current paid period.

Business customers purchasing on behalf of an organization are generally not entitled to consumer withdrawal rights unless mandatory law applies. Statutory consumer rights in the EU/EEA and UK are addressed in the Right of Withdrawal section below.

Free Trials

Certain paid plans may include a free trial period as displayed at checkout. Trial eligibility, duration, and included features may vary by plan, promotion, and account history.

Unless you cancel before the trial ends, your subscription converts to a paid plan and your payment method may be charged automatically at the end of the trial.

We may modify, limit, or discontinue trial offers at any time. One trial per customer or organization may apply where stated at checkout.

Upgrades and Downgrades

Plan changes may take effect immediately or at the next billing period depending on the change and Stripe configuration. Proration, credits, or additional charges may apply as calculated by Stripe.

Downgrades may reduce available features, site limits, or historical access. You are responsible for exporting any data you need before downgrading.

Cancellation

You may cancel subscriptions through the Stripe customer portal or other in-product billing controls. Cancellation stops future renewals at the end of the current billing period unless we terminate earlier under these Terms.

After cancellation, access continues until the end of the current paid period.

Fees already paid for the current billing period are generally non-refundable, except where you validly exercise a statutory right of withdrawal or where a refund is required by applicable law.

Right of Withdrawal (EU/EEA and UK Consumers)

If you are a consumer in the European Union, European Economic Area, or United Kingdom, you have the right to withdraw from a distance contract within 14 days without giving any reason. The withdrawal period expires 14 days after the day the contract is concluded (typically the date you complete checkout or start a paid subscription).

To exercise this right, send a clear statement of withdrawal to support@gdprchecker.online before the 14-day period expires. You may use the model form below, but it is not required.

If you withdraw, we will reimburse all payments received from you without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day we receive your withdrawal notice, using the same payment method unless you agree otherwise.

Digital content and immediate access: If you request immediate access to the Service (including starting a paid subscription or using paid features during a trial) and expressly acknowledge at checkout that performance begins before the withdrawal period ends and that you lose your right of withdrawal once performance has begun, you may not withdraw after that point to the extent permitted by law.

Refunds

Refunds are issued when required by applicable consumer law, including valid withdrawal requests under the section above, duplicate charges, or billing errors confirmed by us.

Except as stated above or required by law, subscription fees are not refunded on a pro-rata basis when you cancel mid-period.

User Responsibilities

You are solely responsible for your websites, domains, tags, content, vendor relationships, privacy notices, consent flows, and regulatory obligations.

You must configure the Service correctly, keep integration credentials secure, and review outputs before relying on them in production or sharing them with third parties.

Runtime and Customer Site Responsibility

When you use runtime scripts, consent banners, or managed site features, you remain responsible for:

• Installing runtime snippets correctly and in the required order on every page that should be protected.
• Testing consent behavior in real browsers, including Accept, Reject, and preference changes.
• Configuring consent categories, policy links, and published notices accurately for your actual processing.
• Ensuring your own legal notices, vendor disclosures, and records match what your site actually does.
• Monitoring third-party tags, tag managers, caching layers, and site changes that may affect enforcement.

Customer Responsibility

You remain solely responsible for your website, notices, consent implementation, data processing activities, legal decisions, and compliance obligations. You should consult qualified legal counsel before relying on any generated document, scanner result, AI assessment, or recommendation.

No Compliance Guarantee

GDPRChecker provides technical, operational, and informational tools only. It does not provide legal advice and does not guarantee compliance with GDPR, UK GDPR, ePrivacy, CCPA, PIPEDA, Law 25, or any other law or regulation. Users remain solely responsible for determining and maintaining compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.

Automated Scan Limitations

Scans inspect publicly reachable pages and signals available to our automated systems at a point in time. They may not detect all cookies, scripts, iframes, server-side processing, mobile apps, logged-in areas, geo-specific behavior, or issues behind bot protection.

Scan results are informational and may produce false positives or false negatives.

Policy Page and Scan Output Limitations

Privacy policies, cookie policies, terms, scan reports, and other outputs created through the Service reflect the information you provide and your site configuration.

These outputs are technical aids and templates, not legal advice. They do not guarantee compliance and must be reviewed against your actual processing activities and applicable law.

See our Disclaimer (https://www.gdprchecker.online/disclaimer) for additional limitations on scans, generated documents, and runtime controls.

You remain responsible for ensuring published policies accurately describe your processing activities and meet requirements in your jurisdiction.

Cookie Banner and Runtime Limitations

Consent banners and runtime blocking depend on correct installation order, supported browsers, tag manager configuration, caching layers, third-party script behavior, and customer settings.

We do not guarantee that all trackers will be blocked in all conditions, including when customers bypass our snippet, load tags through unsupported paths, or use incompatible site architectures.

Third-Party Services

The Service integrates with third parties such as Stripe, Supabase, Google OAuth, hosting providers, and customer websites. We are not responsible for third-party outages, policy changes, or security incidents outside our reasonable control.

Your use of third-party services is subject to their terms and privacy policies.

Service Availability

The Service may experience interruptions, outages, delays, software defects, configuration errors, third-party failures, or other technical issues.

We may perform maintenance and updates that temporarily affect availability. We strive for reliability but do not guarantee uninterrupted operation.

Beta / Experimental Features

We may offer preview, beta, or experimental features identified as such. These features may be incomplete, change without notice, or be withdrawn at any time and are provided without warranties.

Acceptable Use

You must use the Service lawfully and must not:

• Scan, test, or probe websites, domains, or systems you are not authorized to test.
• Abuse scanner quotas, rate limits, APIs, or other technical restrictions.
• Attempt unauthorized access, bypass security controls, or interfere with other users or the Service.
• Upload, configure, or process sensitive personal data or special category data unless explicitly agreed in writing.
• Reverse engineer the Service except where permitted by mandatory law.
• Use the Service for unlawful, deceptive, or harmful activity.

Intellectual Property

We retain all rights in the Service, software, branding, documentation, and content we provide. You receive a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the Service according to your plan while your subscription or free access remains active.

Customer Content and Website Data

You retain ownership of your website content, configuration, and data you submit. You grant us the rights necessary to host, process, transmit, and display that data solely to provide and improve the Service, support users, and maintain security.

Privacy and Data Protection

Our processing of personal data in connection with your account is described in our Privacy Policy.

When you use the Service to process personal data relating to your website visitors or other end users, we act as a data processor on your behalf and you remain the controller. Our Data Processing Agreement (https://www.gdprchecker.online/dpa) is incorporated into these Terms by reference and applies to that processing for all customers using those features, not only enterprise accounts.

Disclaimers

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

GDPRChecker provides technical, operational, and informational tools only. It does not provide legal advice and does not guarantee compliance with GDPR, UK GDPR, ePrivacy, CCPA, PIPEDA, Law 25, or any other law or regulation. Users remain solely responsible for determining and maintaining compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.

Limitation of Liability

Limitation of Liability. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, GDPRChecker and its owners, officers, contractors, suppliers, and affiliates will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, punitive, or exemplary damages, including loss of profits, revenue, goodwill, data, business interruption, regulatory fines, penalties, or third-party claims arising from your website, processing activities, or reliance on the Service. GDPRChecker's total aggregate liability for all claims relating to the Service will not exceed the fees actually paid by you to GDPRChecker during the twelve (12) months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim. If you use a free plan, GDPRChecker's total aggregate liability will not exceed EUR 50 or the minimum amount required by applicable law, whichever is greater. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law.

Indemnification

You will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless GDPRChecker and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from claims, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your websites, your use of the Service, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of applicable law.

Termination

We may suspend or terminate access for breach of these Terms, risk to the Service, non-payment, or legal requirements. You may stop using the Service at any time.

Sections that by nature should survive termination will survive, including disclaimers, limitations of liability, and indemnification.

Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms are governed by the laws of Malta, without regard to conflict-of-law rules.

If you are a consumer habitually resident in the EU, EEA, or UK, you benefit from mandatory consumer protection provisions of your country of residence. Nothing in these Terms limits rights that cannot be waived under applicable law.

For business customers, the courts of the courts of Malta have non-exclusive jurisdiction over disputes arising from these Terms, subject to mandatory law.

Changes to Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be posted on this page with an updated date (currently 2026-06-14). Continued use after changes become effective constitutes acceptance where permitted by law.
