Terms of Service

Effective date: March 12, 2026 · Last updated: March 12, 2026

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of the VetoShield browser extension and the vetoshield.ai website and platform (collectively, the "Service"), operated by VetoShield LLC ("VetoShield," "we," "us," or "our"). By installing the extension or using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

1. The Service

VetoShield is an AI privacy companion that provides privacy transparency, sensitive data detection, and usage governance for AI services. The Service consists of:

• Browser Extension — a free Chrome extension that monitors visits to AI tool websites, displays privacy information, detects sensitive data in chat inputs, and enforces user-configured policies. All processing happens locally on your device by default.
• Team Platform — an optional web-based platform that enables organizational administrators to manage AI usage policies, view aggregated usage data, and configure governance rules across their team.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 16 years old to use the Service. By using the Service, you represent that you meet this requirement. If you are using the Service on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have the authority to bind that organization to these Terms.

3. Account Registration

The browser extension can be used without an account. The Team Platform requires an administrator account. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and API keys, and for all activity that occurs under your account. Notify us immediately at contact@vetoshield.ai if you suspect unauthorized access.

4. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

• Reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise attempt to derive the source code of the Service, except to the extent expressly permitted by applicable law.
• Resell, sublicense, redistribute, or commercially exploit the Service or any part of it without our prior written consent.
• Use the Service to circumvent, undermine, or violate your employer's or organization's IT policies, security measures, or access controls.
• Use the Service to harass, abuse, or harm others, or to facilitate any illegal activity.
• Interfere with or disrupt the Service, its servers, or networks connected to the Service.
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to any part of the Service or any systems or networks connected to the Service.
• Use automated means (bots, scrapers, etc.) to access the Service beyond its intended functionality.
• Remove, alter, or obscure any proprietary notices, labels, or marks on the Service.

5. Intellectual Property

The Service, including all code, design, content, trademarks, and documentation, is owned by VetoShield LLC and protected by intellectual property laws. These Terms grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the Service for its intended purpose.

You retain full ownership of your data. We claim no intellectual property rights over the data you store locally or sync to the platform. See our Privacy Policy for details on how we handle your data.

6. Privacy Scores and Information

VetoShield provides privacy scores, jurisdiction indicators, and other informational content about third-party AI services. This information is compiled from publicly available sources (terms of service, privacy policies, legal frameworks) and is provided for informational purposes only.

VetoShield's privacy scores and information do not constitute legal advice, compliance certification, or a guarantee of any third-party service's actual data handling practices. AI services may change their policies at any time. You should independently verify any information that is material to your compliance obligations or business decisions.

7. Fees and Payment

The browser extension is free to use. The Team Platform may be offered under free or paid tiers. Pricing, payment terms, and subscription details for paid tiers will be communicated at the time of purchase. We reserve the right to change pricing with 30 days' advance notice to active subscribers.

All fees are non-refundable except as required by applicable law.

8. Service Availability

We strive to keep the Service available and reliable, but we provide it on a best-effort basis. We do not guarantee any specific uptime, response time, or support level. We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service at any time, with or without notice.

The browser extension's core features (privacy scores, local policy enforcement, sensitive data detection) operate entirely on your device and are not affected by server availability.

9. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, OR ACCURACY.

Without limiting the foregoing, we do not warrant that:

• The Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure.
• Privacy scores, detection rules, or informational content will be accurate, complete, or current.
• The Service will detect all sensitive data patterns or prevent all data leakage.
• The Service will satisfy any specific regulatory, compliance, or legal requirement.

10. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, VETOSHIELD LLC, ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, USE, OR GOODWILL, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICE, REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF LIABILITY.

OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE 12 MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM, OR (B) $50 USD.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages. In such jurisdictions, our liability is limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.

11. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless VetoShield LLC and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or relating to:

• Your use of the Service in violation of these Terms.
• Your violation of any applicable law or regulation.
• Any representations you make to third parties based on VetoShield's privacy scores or informational content (e.g., claiming regulatory compliance based solely on VetoShield data).
• Your negligence or willful misconduct.

12. Termination

You may stop using the Service at any time by uninstalling the extension and, if applicable, deleting your administrator account.

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your access to the Service at any time, with or without cause, and with or without notice. Grounds for termination include, but are not limited to, violation of these Terms or conduct that we reasonably believe is harmful to the Service or other users.

Upon termination, your right to use the Service ceases immediately. Sections 5, 6, 9, 10, 11, 13, and 14 survive termination.

13. Governing Law and Disputes

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, United States, without regard to its conflict of law principles.

Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service shall be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Delaware, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts. Before initiating any formal proceedings, you agree to first contact us at contact@vetoshield.ai and attempt to resolve the dispute informally for at least 30 days.

Class action waiver: To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, you agree that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not as a class, consolidated, or representative action.

14. General Provisions

• Entire agreement — These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and VetoShield regarding the Service.
• Severability — If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full force and effect.
• Waiver — Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms does not constitute a waiver of that right or provision.
• Assignment — You may not assign or transfer these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign our rights and obligations without restriction.
• Modifications — We may modify these Terms at any time by posting the revised version on this page and updating the "Last updated" date.
