Welcome to Waterfox Private Search. By accessing or using our service, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you disagree with any part of the terms, you may not access the service.

2. Description of Service

Waterfox Private Search is a privacy-focused meta-search engine that allows users to select which search engine to receive results from. We strive to provide unmodified search results from these providers, but we do not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or usefulness of any search results.

3. User Registration and Account Security

You must create and maintain an account to use the service. You are responsible for safeguarding your credentials and for all activity occurring under your account. Notify us immediately of any unauthorized use or suspected breach.

4. Service Plans and Usage

Waterfox Private Search is offered via paid subscription. We provide two plans—Standard (500 searches/month) and Unmetered—and an active subscription is required to perform searches. We do not display ads in results or the UI. Plan details are described on the Pricing page.

We reserve the right to limit or suspend service if we determine that usage is excessive, abusive, or violates these Terms. Automated or programmatic use is prohibited unless explicitly authorized in writing by Waterfox Private Search.

8. Payment Terms

Subscriptions are managed and billed via Clerk Billing. By subscribing you authorize Clerk and its payment processors to charge the payment method you provide for the applicable fees and taxes.

Plans auto-renew month-to-month until canceled. You can cancel at any time; cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing period and you will retain access until that time. We do not provide prorated refunds for partial billing periods except where required by law.

We may change prices or plan features; any changes will apply to your next renewal after reasonable notice posted on our website or sent by email.

If a payment fails, we may retry the charge, ask you to update your payment method, and suspend or limit access until payment is resolved.

Fees are exclusive of taxes, which will be charged where applicable.

9. Limitation of Liability

In no event shall BrowserWorks Ltd, nor its directors, employees, partners, agents, suppliers, or affiliates, be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, including without limitation, loss of profits, data, use, goodwill, or other intangible losses, resulting from your access to or use of or inability to access or use the service.
