Terms of Service

TidyConsent, operated by Heemo Yang ("we", "us") provides TidyConsent: a WordPress plugin and an optional hosted service (agent scanning, scheduled re-scans, and consent-log backup) sold through our website. By buying or using the paid service, you agree to these terms.

1. What the service is

The free plugin is distributed under the GPL (see the plugin's license). These terms cover the paid hosted service and the Pro add-on that connects to it.
The service can scan a website you own or are authorized to manage, report the trackers it finds in plain English, propose plugin settings, re-scan on a schedule, and store backups of your plugin's consent log if you turn that feature on.
A scan is a proposal, never an automatic change. Nothing is applied to your site until you (or your site's administrator) click Apply.

2. Not a law firm — no legal advice

TidyConsent helps you implement cookie-consent choices on your site. We are not a law firm, we do not provide legal advice, and using TidyConsent does not certify or guarantee that your site complies with GDPR, CCPA, or any other law. You are responsible for your site's legal compliance and for reviewing the generated policy and settings before publishing them.

3. Your responsibilities

You may only scan and connect sites you own or are authorized to manage.
You are responsible for keeping your license key private and for the accuracy of the information you give us (for example, your site URL and contact email).
You must not use the service to probe, scan, or interfere with sites you do not control, and you must not try to disrupt the service.

4. Plans, payment, and renewal

Paid plans are billed in advance per site (or per bundle of sites) for a one-year term through our payment processor, Stripe. We do not receive or store your full card number.
A plan renews automatically at the end of each term unless cancelled before the renewal date. You can cancel at any time from Settings → TidyConsent Pro in WordPress (the Manage or cancel subscription button opens Stripe's customer portal); cancellation stops the next renewal and the service stays active until the end of the paid term.
Refunds: full refund within 14 days of purchase or renewal, no questions asked — email heemo521@gmail.com and the refund is issued through Stripe; the license is switched off when the refund is issued.

5. Availability and changes

We aim to keep the service available and accurate, but scans depend on your site being publicly reachable and on third-party tracker behaviour we do not control. We may improve, change, or retire features; material changes to these terms will be posted on this page with a new effective date.

6. Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the service is provided "as is", and our total liability arising from the service is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim. We are not liable for your site's regulatory compliance, fines, or decisions you make based on a scan report. [Attorney to review this section.]

7. Ending the service

You may stop using the service at any time. We may suspend or end a license for abuse of the service, scanning sites you do not control, or non-payment. On termination, the data rules in the Privacy Policy apply (export and deletion on request).

8. Governing law and contact

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Colorado, USA. Questions about these terms: heemo521@gmail.com.
