These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the hosted DriftGuard service at driftguard.org (the “Service”), operated by DriftGuard (“we,” “us,” or “our”). By creating an account, starting a trial, or using the Service, you agree to these Terms.
The open-source DriftGuard client and command line (CLI) available on GitHub are licensed separately under the MIT License. These Terms apply only to the hosted Service unless stated otherwise.
1. The Service
DriftGuard monitors HTTP(S) endpoints and MCP tool catalogs for schema changes, stores snapshots, classifies diffs, and delivers alerts according to your plan and configuration. Features and limits depend on your subscription tier (Free, Pro, Team, or trial).
2. Eligibility
You must be at least 16 years old and able to form a binding contract. If you use the Service on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization to these Terms.
3. Accounts and authentication
You may sign in with supported identity providers (such as GitHub or Google) or use API keys issued to your account. You are responsible for safeguarding credentials and for all activity under your account. Notify us at hello@driftguard.org if you suspect unauthorized access.
First sign-in may create a personal workspace (“organization”) on the Free tier. Team features, seats, and roles are described on our pricing pages and may change as the product evolves.
4. Acceptable use
You agree to use the Service only for lawful purposes and only to monitor endpoints and systems you are authorized to access. You must not:
- Submit URLs, credentials, or headers you do not have permission to use;
- Use the Service to attack, scan without authorization, or disrupt third-party systems;
- Reverse engineer, overload, or circumvent rate limits or security controls;
- Resell or sublicense the hosted Service without our written consent;
- Upload malware or use the Service to store or transmit illegal content.
We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these rules or pose risk to the Service or others.
5. Your content and monitored endpoints
You configure watches (URLs, headers, alert destinations, and related settings). You retain ownership of your configuration and data. You grant us a limited license to fetch, process, store, and display that data solely to provide and improve the Service, including generating diffs, alerts, and exports you request.
You are responsible for ensuring monitored URLs and notification channels (webhooks, Slack, email integrations, etc.) comply with applicable law and third-party terms.
6. Subscriptions, billing, and refunds
Paid plans (Pro, Team, and promotional pricing such as founding-member rates) are billed on a recurring subscription basis. Checkout and payment processing are provided by Lemon Squeezy, which acts as merchant of record for applicable taxes and payment compliance. Your purchase is also subject to Lemon Squeezy’s terms and policies.
Prices are shown in USD unless otherwise stated. Subscriptions renew automatically until cancelled through the billing portal or by contacting us. Refunds are handled according to Lemon Squeezy’s refund policy and applicable law; contact hello@driftguard.org for billing questions.
We may change plan features or list prices with reasonable notice. Promotional or founding pricing applies only while your subscription remains active and eligible.
7. Free tier, trials, and downgrades
Free and trial access may be limited by watch count, check frequency, retention, and feature gates described on our website. We may modify free-tier limits with notice where practicable. When a paid subscription ends, your account may be downgraded; historical data may become read-only or deleted according to the retention policy for your former plan.
8. Availability and changes
We strive for reliable operation but do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free service. We may modify, suspend, or discontinue features with reasonable notice when possible. Scheduled maintenance and factors outside our control (including third-party APIs you monitor) may affect availability.
9. Disclaimer of warranties
THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. DRIFTGUARD CLASSIFIES SCHEMA CHANGES USING AUTOMATED HEURISTICS; YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR VALIDATING ALERTS BEFORE PRODUCTION DECISIONS.
10. Limitation of liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, DATA, OR GOODWILL, ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM RELATING TO THE SERVICE IS LIMITED TO THE GREATER OF (A) AMOUNTS YOU PAID US FOR THE SERVICE IN THE TWELVE MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM, OR (B) USD $100.
Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations; in those cases our liability is limited to the fullest extent permitted by law.
11. Indemnification
You will defend and indemnify us against claims arising from your use of the Service, your monitored endpoints, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any third-party rights, except to the extent caused by our gross negligence or willful misconduct.
12. Termination
You may stop using the Service at any time. We may suspend or terminate access for breach of these Terms, non-payment, or to protect the Service. Upon termination, your right to use the hosted Service ends; provisions that by nature should survive (including disclaimers, liability limits, and indemnity) will survive.
13. Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Kenya, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Courts in Nairobi, Kenya shall have exclusive jurisdiction, except where mandatory consumer protection law in your country requires otherwise.
14. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms by posting a revised version on this page and updating the “Last updated” date. Material changes will be communicated where appropriate (for example, by email or in-product notice). Continued use after changes take effect constitutes acceptance.
