Terms of Service

By creating an account, installing the browser extension, or otherwise using aboutweb (the “Service”), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, do not use the Service. If you are using aboutweb on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization to these terms, and “you” refers to that organization.

aboutweb generates company and website intelligence reports. You give us a URL or domain, and we assemble a short brief covering things like what the company does, who runs it, how it appears to be funded, who it competes with, and how much traffic it appears to get. Reports are produced by artificial intelligence from publicly available sources.

The Service is available through the aboutweb.cx website and through our browser extension, which can generate a report for the site in your active tab. We may add, change, or remove features at any time.

You must be at least 13 years old to use aboutweb, and old enough to form a binding contract in your jurisdiction. If you are under 18, you may only use the Service with the involvement of a parent or legal guardian.

Some features require an account. When you create one, you agree to provide accurate information and to keep it current. You are responsible for keeping your credentials secure and for all activity that happens under your account.

• Do not share your account or credentials with others.
• Do not create multiple accounts to evade usage limits, bans, or billing.
• Tell us promptly at support@aboutweb.cx if you believe your account has been compromised.

You may delete your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms, as described in section 12.

aboutweb offers a free tier with a capped number of analyses per day. Once you reach the cap, analysis is unavailable until the limit resets or you upgrade to Pro. Current allowances for each plan are shown on your billing dashboard.

Usage limits are a technical and commercial necessity, not a guarantee. We may change limits, introduce new ones, or adjust how they are measured — including for existing accounts — and we will try to give reasonable notice of material reductions. Attempting to circumvent limits (through multiple accounts, automated requests, proxies, or otherwise) is a violation of these terms.

Pro is a paid subscription billed on a recurring basis at the price shown at checkout. Payments are processed by Stripe; we do not store your full card details. Your use of Stripe’s payment services is also subject to Stripe’s own terms.

• Renewal. Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each billing period until cancelled.
• Cancellation. You can cancel at any time from your billing settings, which open the Stripe customer portal. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period — you keep Pro access until then.
• Refunds. Payments are non-refundable except where required by law. We do not provide prorated refunds for partial billing periods or unused analyses.
• Price changes. We may change subscription pricing. Changes apply from your next billing period, and we will give you notice beforehand so you can cancel if you disagree.
• Failed payments. If a payment fails, we may retry it and may downgrade or suspend Pro access until payment succeeds.
• Taxes. Prices exclude taxes unless stated otherwise. You are responsible for any applicable taxes other than those on our income.

This section is important. Everything aboutweb produces is generated by AI models from public sources, and it may be wrong.

Reports are estimates and inferences, not verified facts. Figures such as revenue, headcount, funding, valuation, traffic, and growth are approximations that may be outdated, incomplete, or simply incorrect. Names, roles, dates, and relationships may be misattributed. Trust scores and similar ratings are automated heuristics, not investigations or endorsements, and should not be read as a judgment about any company’s honesty, quality, or legitimacy.

aboutweb does not provide financial, investment, legal, tax, employment, credit, or professional advice of any kind. Nothing in a report is a recommendation to buy, sell, invest in, transact with, hire, or avoid any company or person.

You are responsible for independently verifying anything you rely on. Do not use aboutweb output as the sole basis for any decision that carries financial, legal, employment, or reputational consequences — for yourself or for anyone else.

If you republish or share aboutweb output, you are responsible for what you publish, and you should make clear that it is AI-generated and unverified.

You agree not to:

• Use the Service to break the law, infringe anyone’s rights, or harass, defame, stalk, or endanger any person.
• Scrape, crawl, bulk-download, resell, or redistribute the Service or its output as a competing dataset or product.
• Use aboutweb output to train, fine-tune, or evaluate a competing AI model or service.
• Access the Service through automated means except via an API we have expressly provided to you, or exceed rate limits we set.
• Reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract the source code or underlying models of the Service, except where that restriction is unenforceable by law.
• Probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of our systems, or interfere with, overload, or disrupt the Service or its infrastructure.
• Use the Service to make decisions about a person’s eligibility for credit, insurance, housing, or employment. aboutweb is not a consumer reporting agency and its output is not a consumer report.
• Misrepresent AI-generated output as verified or independently confirmed fact.

The Service — including the software, interface, design, and branding — belongs to us and our licensors. We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the Service for its intended purpose while these terms are in effect. That license does not transfer any ownership.

Reports draw on publicly available information about third parties. Third-party names, logos, and trademarks that appear in reports belong to their owners and are used for identification only; their appearance does not imply any affiliation with or endorsement by them.

Subject to these terms, you may use reports you generate for your own internal business or personal purposes.

aboutweb depends on third-party data sources, AI model providers, payment processing, and hosting. We do not control those services and are not responsible for their content, availability, accuracy, or practices. Links or references to third-party sites in a report are not endorsements.

Our handling of personal data is described in our privacy policy, which forms part of your agreement with us. In short: we collect what we need to run accounts, billing, and the Service itself, and we do not sell your personal data.

You may stop using aboutweb and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access — with notice where practical, and immediately where necessary — if you breach these terms, if we reasonably suspect fraud, abuse, or risk to other users or our systems, or if we are required to by law.

If we terminate a paid subscription without cause, we will refund the unused portion of your current billing period. If we terminate for breach, no refund is owed. Sections that by their nature should survive termination — including sections 7, 9, 13, 14, 15, and 17 — will survive.

We may also discontinue the Service entirely. If we do, we will give reasonable notice and refund any prepaid, unused subscription fees.

The Service is provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all implied warranties, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, and any warranty arising from course of dealing or usage of trade.

We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free, that defects will be corrected, or — as set out in section 7 — that any report or other output will be accurate, current, or complete.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill, or business opportunity, arising out of or relating to your use of the Service — including any decision made or action taken in reliance on AI-generated output — even if we have been advised of the possibility of those damages.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, our total aggregate liability for all claims relating to the Service will not exceed the greater of (a) the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) fifty US dollars ($50.00).

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or the limitation of certain damages. In those jurisdictions, these exclusions and limitations apply only to the extent permitted, and nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot lawfully be limited.

You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from any claims, damages, liabilities, and reasonable legal costs arising out of your use of the Service, your violation of these terms, your violation of any law or third-party right, or your publication or other use of output generated through the Service.

We may update these terms from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “last updated” date above, and for material changes we will give notice through the Service or by email before they take effect. Continuing to use aboutweb after changes take effect means you accept the revised terms. If you do not accept them, stop using the Service and cancel any subscription.

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, USA, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. You and we agree to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in San Francisco County, California for any dispute that is not subject to informal resolution, and each of us waives any objection to venue there.

Before filing a claim, you agree to contact us at support@aboutweb.cx and attempt to resolve the dispute informally for at least 30 days. Nothing here prevents either of us from seeking injunctive relief for misuse of intellectual property, or from bringing a qualifying claim in small claims court.

These terms, together with our privacy policy, are the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Service. If any provision is found unenforceable, the rest remains in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of it. You may not assign these terms without our consent; we may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
