WebChange Detector Version 2.0 — Effective July 2, 2026
These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the WebChange Detector website (https://www.webchangedetector.com), web application, API and WordPress plugin (together, the “Service”), operated by:
WP Mike LLC 3833 Powerline Road, Suite 101 Fort Lauderdale, FL 33309, USA E-mail: [email protected]
(“WebChange Detector”, “Company”, “we”, “us”).
By creating an account, purchasing a subscription, or using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you use the Service on behalf of a company or other legal entity, you represent that you are authorised to bind that entity, and “you” refers to that entity. You must be at least 18 years of age to use the Service. If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the Service.
1. The Service
1.1 WebChange Detector is a website monitoring service that captures screenshots of URLs you designate, compares them over time, and notifies you of detected visual changes. Features include, depending on your plan, manual and scheduled checks, AI-assisted change classification, authenticated-area monitoring, and integration via our API and WordPress plugin.
1.2 The scope of the Service (for example the number of checks, monitored URLs, users, and screenshot retention period) is determined by the plan you select. Current plans and their features are described on our website.
1.3 We continuously develop the Service and may modify, add or remove features, provided the core functionality of your paid plan is not materially reduced during a paid subscription period. Features marked as “beta” or “experimental” are provided as-is and may be changed or discontinued at any time.
2. Account
2.1 You must provide accurate and complete information when registering and keep it up to date. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and API tokens, and for all activities that occur under your account.
2.2 Notify us immediately at [email protected] if you suspect unauthorised use of your account.
3. Subscriptions, Payment and Refunds (Paddle as Merchant of Record)
3.1 All purchases of paid plans are processed by our reseller and Merchant of Record, Paddle (Paddle.com Market Limited, London, UK; for buyers in the EEA: Paddle Payments Limited, Dublin, Ireland). When you purchase a plan, you conclude the purchase contract with Paddle, which resells the Service. Paddle handles payment processing, invoicing, applicable taxes (for example VAT and sales tax) and refunds. Paddle’s Checkout Buyer Terms apply to the purchase in addition to these Terms: https://www.paddle.com/legal/checkout-buyer-terms
3.2 Subscriptions renew automatically for the selected billing period (monthly or yearly) until cancelled. You can cancel at any time in your account settings or via Paddle’s customer portal; the cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period. Prices may change; price changes take effect at the earliest with the next renewal and will be announced to you in advance by e-mail.
3.3 Refund requests are handled in accordance with Paddle’s Buyer Terms and applicable law. Statutory rights, including withdrawal rights of consumers in the EU/EEA and UK, remain unaffected. To request a refund, contact [email protected] or Paddle directly.
3.4 Unused checks or other plan allowances expire at the end of the respective billing period unless expressly stated otherwise in the plan description.
4. Your Responsibilities and Acceptable Use
4.1 Authorisation to monitor. You may only add URLs for monitoring if you own the website in question or are authorised by its owner (for example as its agency or contractor) to monitor it. You are responsible for the lawfulness of the monitoring you configure, including compliance with applicable data protection law with respect to personal data visible on monitored pages (see Section 8).
4.2 Authenticated monitoring. If you configure monitoring of areas behind a login, you warrant that you are entitled to use the credentials provided and to capture the content behind them.
4.3 You agree not to: (a) use the Service to monitor, collect or distribute content that is unlawful or infringes third-party rights; (b) interfere with, disrupt or place an undue burden on the Service or its infrastructure, or circumvent plan limits or technical restrictions; (c) attempt to gain unauthorised access to the Service or its related systems; (d) resell, sublicense or otherwise commercially exploit the Service except as permitted by your plan (agency plans may include monitoring on behalf of clients); (e) reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble any part of the Service, except to the extent permitted by mandatory law; (f) use automated scripts to create multiple accounts or abuse free plans or trials; or (g) use the Service to develop a competing product.
4.4 We may suspend or restrict access to the Service, or remove content, if we reasonably believe your use violates these Terms or applicable law, or poses a security risk. Where reasonable, we will notify you and give you the opportunity to remedy the issue first.
5. Customer Content and Data
5.1 “Customer Content” means the URLs, settings, credentials and other data you submit to the Service, as well as the screenshots and comparison results generated for your account. As between the parties, you retain all rights in your Customer Content.
5.2 You grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide licence to host, store, reproduce, process and display Customer Content solely as necessary to provide and maintain the Service, including processing by our sub-processors (for example cloud hosting, proxy retrieval, and AI-assisted image comparison) as described in our Privacy Policy and Data Processing Agreement.
5.3 We do not use your screenshots to train AI models, and our AI providers are contractually prohibited from doing so.
5.4 After termination of your subscription or deletion of your account, stored Customer Content (in particular screenshots and monitored URLs) is retained for 30 days and then deleted, unless you request earlier deletion or we are legally required to retain it. You are responsible for exporting any data you wish to keep before that.
6. Intellectual Property
6.1 The Service, including its software, design, and content (excluding Customer Content), is owned by the Company or its licensors and protected by intellectual property laws. We grant you a non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use the Service for the duration of your subscription in accordance with these Terms and your plan. The WebChange Detector WordPress plugin is licensed under its own open-source license (GPL); that license governs the plugin code itself, while use of the connected Service is governed by these Terms.
6.2 If you provide feedback or suggestions, we may use them without restriction or compensation.
7. Privacy
Our processing of personal data is described in our Privacy Policy: https://www.webchangedetector.com/privacy-policy/
8. Data Processing Agreement (DPA)
Where screenshots of monitored websites contain personal data of third parties (for example names or comments displayed on the monitored page), you act as the data controller (or as a processor on behalf of your client) and we act as your data processor pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR. Our Data Processing Agreement, including the list of sub-processors and the EU Standard Contractual Clauses incorporated by reference, forms part of these Terms for such processing. The DPA is available at https://www.webchangedetector.com/dpa/ or on request from [email protected].
9. Availability; Disclaimer of Warranties
9.1 We aim for high availability of the Service but do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation. Planned maintenance will be performed, where possible, outside peak usage times. The Service depends on third-party infrastructure and on the availability and structure of the websites you monitor; we are not responsible for missed or incorrect change detections caused by the monitored website (for example blocking of our requests, dynamic content, or layout changes), by misconfiguration, or by circumstances outside our reasonable control.
9.2 TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”, AND WE DISCLAIM ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. THE SERVICE IS A MONITORING AID; IT DOES NOT REPLACE YOUR OWN REVIEW AND BACKUP PROCESSES.
9.3 Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties; in that case the above exclusions apply only to the extent permitted. Statutory warranty rights of consumers remain unaffected.
10. Limitation of Liability
10.1 TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, NEITHER PARTY IS LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, LOST DATA OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE.
10.2 TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE IS LIMITED TO THE AMOUNTS PAID BY YOU FOR THE SERVICE IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM.
10.3 Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability for intent or gross negligence, for death or personal injury, or any other liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law. For consumers in the EU/EEA and UK, mandatory statutory liability rules remain unaffected.
11. Indemnification
If you use the Service in the course of a business, you will indemnify and hold the Company harmless from third-party claims, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising out of (a) your Customer Content, (b) your monitoring of websites without sufficient authorisation, or (c) your violation of these Terms or applicable law. This Section does not apply to consumers.
12. Term and Termination
12.1 These Terms apply for as long as you have an account or use the Service.
12.2 You may terminate by cancelling your subscription (effective at the end of the billing period) and/or deleting your account at any time.
12.3 We may terminate free accounts with 30 days’ notice, and may terminate or suspend any account with immediate effect for a material breach of these Terms that is not cured within a reasonable period after notice (or immediately where the breach is severe, for example unlawful use or a security threat).
12.4 Section 5.4 (data retention/deletion) and Sections 6, 10, 11 and 13 survive termination.
13. General
13.1 Changes to these Terms. We may revise these Terms. For material changes we will notify you at least 30 days in advance by e-mail to the address associated with your account and/or by prominent notice in the Service. If you do not agree to the changes, you may terminate your subscription before they take effect; continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance. Changes apply immediately to new users.
13.2 Governing law and venue. These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, USA, excluding its conflict-of-law rules and the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. If you are a consumer in the EU/EEA or UK, you additionally benefit from the mandatory consumer protection provisions of the law of your country of residence, and you may bring proceedings in the courts of your country of residence; nothing in this Section deprives you of those rights. For business customers, the exclusive venue is Broward County, Florida, USA.
13.3 Dispute resolution. Before initiating formal proceedings, the parties will attempt in good faith to resolve any dispute informally by contacting each other (for us: [email protected]) and allowing 30 days for resolution. The EU Commission’s platform for online dispute resolution is available at https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr/. We are neither obliged nor willing to participate in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board.
13.4 Export control. You agree to comply with applicable export control and sanctions laws in connection with your use of the Service.
13.5 Assignment. You may not assign these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms to an affiliate or in connection with a merger, acquisition or sale of assets, provided your rights are not materially impaired.
13.6 Electronic communications. You consent to receive contractual communications from us electronically (e-mail or notices within the Service), and agree that these satisfy any legal requirement of written communication.
13.7 Entire agreement; severability. These Terms, together with the plan description, the Privacy Policy, the DPA (where applicable) and Paddle’s Buyer Terms (for purchases), constitute the entire agreement regarding the Service. If any provision is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in effect, and the invalid provision will be replaced by a valid one that comes closest to its economic purpose. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver.
