End User License Agreement
This End User License Agreement governs installation, access, and use of the Smart Adblocker extension, website, report workflow, update mechanisms, and related operational services. By installing, enabling, accessing, or continuing to use Smart Adblocker, you accept this Agreement.
1. Parties and Acceptance
This Agreement is between you and Smart Adblocker. References to you include the person who installs, enables, accesses, or uses the extension, and any organization on whose behalf the extension is used. References to we, us, and our mean Smart Adblocker as product operator, website operator, and service maintainer.
Acceptance occurs when you install the extension, keep it enabled, use the website, use extension controls, submit a report, or continue using the product after updated terms are posted. If you do not accept this Agreement, disable and uninstall the extension and stop using related services.
If you use Smart Adblocker on behalf of a company, school, household, or other organization, you represent that you have authority to use the extension in that environment and to accept these terms for the relevant use. Browser-store terms, browser permissions, administrator policies, and applicable law may also apply, but they do not replace this Agreement between you and Smart Adblocker for the extension and related services.
2. License Grant
Subject to this Agreement, Smart Adblocker grants you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable license to install and use the extension on compatible Chromium-based browsers for personal browsing or internal business browsing.
This license is for ordinary end-user operation. It includes configuring lists, turning protection on or off for a site, using the popup, managing YouTube controls, hiding page elements, sending support reports, and using Enhanced Protection or AI privacy protection where you have enabled those features. It does not grant permission to create competing services from the extension, extract service logic, mirror update endpoints, or use Smart Adblocker infrastructure for unrelated products.
3. Conditions Precedent and Restrictions
The license is conditioned on your continuing compliance with this Agreement. The restrictions protect the service, users, browser ecosystems, third-party websites, and Smart Adblocker's intellectual property.
- Do not copy, modify, sell, rent, lease, sublicense, distribute, or commercially host the extension except where law requires otherwise.
- Do not reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, scrape, or attempt to extract source code except to the limited extent law requires permission.
- Do not attack, overload, probe, bypass, or interfere with service endpoints, rate limits, security controls, or browser-store systems.
- Do not submit false reports, impersonate another user, or misrepresent affiliation with Smart Adblocker.
- Do not use the extension in a way that violates law, infringes rights, or creates unreasonable operational burden.
These restrictions apply whether conduct is performed directly, through automation, through a modified build, through a browser profile you control, or through a third party acting at your direction. If applicable law gives you a non-waivable right to perform a restricted act, the restriction is limited only to the extent that law requires, and all other restrictions continue to apply.
You may not treat ambiguity in browser behavior, extension APIs, rule syntax, or service endpoints as permission to access more than the intended product interface exposes. Attempts to bypass consent controls, forge report payloads, overload configuration endpoints, or interfere with rate limits are outside the permitted license.
4. Extension Behavior and Third-Party Sites
The extension blocks, hides, skips, or adjusts ads, trackers, sponsored units, pop-ups, cookie banners, redirects, overlays, and selected page elements through browser APIs, filter lists, local settings, and site-specific logic.
Third-party websites may change markup, scripts, advertising systems, anti-adblock behavior, access rules, paywalls, and consent flows at any time. Blocking results can vary by site, region, browser version, enabled lists, local settings, and page state. You remain responsible for deciding whether to allowlist a site, disable a feature, report a problem, or use the element picker.
Some websites may condition access on disabling ad blockers, accepting advertising, paying for access, or using a particular browser configuration. Smart Adblocker does not control those websites and does not promise that use of the extension will satisfy a site's terms, avoid every anti-adblock notice, or preserve every site feature. Your decision to visit, leave, comply with, or dispute a third-party website condition remains between you and that site.
Filtering is rule-dependent and context-dependent. A rule that improves one page can occasionally hide something useful on another page, and a website update can make a previously reliable rule ineffective. The extension offers controls such as allowlisting, list toggles, and reporting because compatibility issues are a normal limitation of browser-side filtering.
5. Updates, Rules, and Compatibility
We may update the extension, website, rule packaging, dynamic rules, report workflows, AI privacy protection, legal pages, and related services. Browser stores, browsers, filter-list maintainers, and third-party sites may also change in ways that affect compatibility or blocking behavior.
Updates may add, remove, rename, replace, or materially alter features. They may also change default rules, packaged filter-list versions, service endpoint behavior, user interface wording, permissions prompts, report fields, or compatibility assumptions. We may withdraw support for older versions where continued support would be impractical, insecure, inconsistent with browser rules, or harmful to service integrity.
6. Privacy and Data Handling
The Privacy Policy explains how Smart Adblocker handles local settings, optional Enhanced Protection data, optional AI privacy protection data, support records, website logs, and user controls.
This Agreement does not expand the data categories in the Privacy Policy. Optional URL rule-tuning processing and supported AI prompt/output processing depend on the extension privacy settings described in that policy.
If the Privacy Policy and this Agreement describe the same operational practice, the Privacy Policy controls the privacy-specific explanation, and this Agreement controls the license, use, ownership, warranty, limitation, and termination relationship. You remain responsible for reviewing extension prompts and settings before enabling optional data-dependent features.
7. Ownership and Intellectual Property
Smart Adblocker and its licensors retain all rights in the extension, website, service endpoints, source code, object code, designs, graphics, trademarks, text, rule packaging, documentation, and related intellectual property.
If you send feedback, reports, wording suggestions, or technical ideas, you grant Smart Adblocker a non-exclusive right to use that feedback to operate, improve, secure, document, and support the product without compensation or approval rights.
Feedback does not create joint ownership, confidentiality duties, product roadmap obligations, or a right to approve future releases. If you submit information that includes personal data, that data remains subject to the Privacy Policy, but the non-personal idea, suggestion, rule observation, compatibility report, or proposed wording may be used to improve Smart Adblocker.
8. No Warranties
The extension, website, filter-list integrations, report workflow, AI privacy protection, rule-tuning functions, and related services are provided as is and as available. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Smart Adblocker disclaims all warranties, whether express, implied, statutory, or arising from course of dealing.
We do not warrant that the extension will block every advertisement, tracker, sponsored placement, pop-up, overlay, redirect, anti-adblock prompt, or unwanted page element. We also do not warrant that every website feature will continue working exactly as expected while filtering is active.
We also do not warrant uninterrupted service availability, permanent access to any update endpoint, exact compatibility with every Chromium-based browser, accuracy of every public filter list, or successful operation on every website. Third-party site changes, browser changes, regional ad-delivery differences, network conditions, and platform review decisions can affect behavior without advance notice from Smart Adblocker.
9. Allocation of Risk and Limitation of Liability
Allocation of risk is a material part of this Agreement. Smart Adblocker is provided without a paid account relationship, and the limits below reflect the assumptions under which the extension is made available.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Smart Adblocker will not be liable for damages arising from your use of or inability to use the extension, website, report workflow, filter lists, dynamic rules, AI privacy protection, Enhanced Protection, or third-party sites affected by blocking behavior. The limitations apply whether claims are based on contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, warranty, statute, equity, or another legal theory.
10. Termination
You may stop using the extension at any time by disabling it, uninstalling it, clearing extension data, or ceasing to access related services. We may suspend, restrict, or terminate service functions if we believe you violated this Agreement, abused report flows, created security risk, or interfered with service integrity.
Provisions that by their nature should survive termination continue to apply, including restrictions, ownership, privacy acknowledgements, warranty disclaimers, limitation of liability, interpretation rules, and contact provisions.
Termination does not require Smart Adblocker to provide a replacement product, migrate settings, preserve compatibility with your browser profile, maintain obsolete service endpoints, or continue supporting an older build. Termination also does not waive any claim or remedy that existed before termination.
11. Changes to This Agreement
We may update this Agreement when the extension, website, report workflow, service architecture, legal requirements, platform policies, browser APIs, or operational practices change. Continued use after updated terms become effective means you accept the updated Agreement.
Minor updates may clarify language, fix formatting, correct links, or describe existing practices more precisely. Material updates may change license conditions, restrictions, support assumptions, privacy references, warranty language, limitation provisions, or termination mechanics. If you do not agree to an updated Agreement, your remedy is to stop using and uninstall the extension.
12. Governing Interpretation
This Agreement should be interpreted according to its ordinary meaning. Section headings are for readability and do not limit the operative text. If a provision is found unenforceable, it will be modified to the minimum extent necessary or severed while the remaining provisions continue in effect.
A failure to enforce a provision immediately is not a waiver of the right to enforce it later. This Agreement does not create a partnership, agency, employment, fiduciary, franchise, or joint-venture relationship. You may not assign this Agreement without our consent, but Smart Adblocker may assign it as part of a merger, acquisition, reorganization, asset transfer, or successor operation connected with the extension or related services.
13. Contact
Questions about this Agreement can be sent to [email protected]. You can also review the Privacy Policy for data-handling disclosures or return to the homepage for product-level information. The extension is distributed through the Chrome Web Store at https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/smart-adblocker/iojpcjjdfhlcbgjnpngcmaojmlokmeii.
To help us respond, include a concise explanation of the product or legal question, the browser involved if relevant, the extension version if known, and whether the request concerns license terms, privacy references, reporting, extension distribution, or a suspected security issue. Contacting us does not suspend this Agreement or grant permission to engage in restricted conduct while a response is pending.
