Terms of Service

Effective Date: January 1, 2025

Welcome to Insteadly! These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the Insteadly browser extension and website (collectively, the "Service") provided by Insteadly ("we," "our," or "us"). By installing or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms.

If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the Service.

1. Description of Service

Insteadly is a browser extension and website that helps users discover more sustainable product alternatives while browsing popular online shopping websites. Some product suggestions may include affiliate links, and we may earn commissions on qualifying purchases.

2. Eligibility

To use Insteadly, you must be at least 13 years old. If you are under 18, you may only use the Service under the supervision of a parent or guardian who agrees to be bound by these Terms.

3. User Data and Privacy

Our collection and use of personal data is governed by our Privacy Policy. By using the Service, you consent to the collection and use of information as described in that policy.

4. License and Acceptable Use

We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the Insteadly browser extension and website for personal, non-commercial use.

You agree not to:

  • Use the Service for any unlawful or fraudulent purpose
  • Reverse engineer, copy, or modify any part of the extension or website
  • Interfere with the operation or security of the Service
  • Attempt to access data not intended for you

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your access if you violate these terms.

5. Intellectual Property

All content and software associated with Insteadly — including logos, UI, data, and algorithms — are the property of Insteadly or its licensors. You may not reuse or redistribute any part of the Service without permission.

6. Affiliate Disclosure

Some product links shown through the Insteadly Service may be affiliate links, meaning we may earn a small commission if you click a link and make a purchase. This does not affect the price you pay. Our recommendations aim to prioritize sustainability regardless of commission potential.

7. Disclaimer of Warranties

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, either express or implied. We do not guarantee:

  • That the Service will be error-free or uninterrupted
  • The availability or sustainability claims of third-party products

You use the Service at your own risk.

8. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages resulting from:

  • Your use of (or inability to use) the Service
  • Your reliance on suggested product information
  • Affiliate purchases or third-party websites

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain disclaimers, so this limitation may not apply to you.

9. Changes to the Terms

We may update these Terms at any time. If we make material changes, we'll post the updated Terms on our website with a new effective date. Continued use of the Service after changes means you accept the new Terms.

10. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict of laws principles.
