Terms of Service

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) are a binding agreement between you and the operator of this website and service (referred to as “we,” “us,” or “AuthGuards”) governing access to and use of our websites, dashboards, APIs, documentation, marketplace, and related services (collectively, the “Service”).

By creating an account, accessing, or using the Service, you agree to these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you use the Service on behalf of a company or other legal entity, you represent that you have authority to bind that entity. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

You must be at least the age of majority in your jurisdiction (and at least 16, or higher where required by law) to use the Service. We may refuse service, close accounts, or remove content where permitted by law.

AuthGuards provides license management, authentication, reseller tooling, APIs, webhooks, optional customer-facing panels, public hub and storefront tools, and related features as described on the site and in your dashboard. Features vary by plan tier (for example Tester, Basic, or Seller) and by how your organization configures the Service.

Core capabilities may include:

• Creating projects and issuing license keys with HWID, subscription, and user controls.
• Reseller panels with sub-accounts, balances, and role-based permissions.
• Webhooks and checkout integrations (such as SellAuth) for automated delivery when enabled.
• Optional branded customer panels for your end users.
• Public hub profiles, link pages, and product stores for eligible Seller accounts.
• A global marketplace catalog aggregating public listings from participating sellers.

The Service is provided on a subscription or usage basis as offered on this site. We may modify, suspend, or discontinue parts of the Service with reasonable notice where practicable, or immediately where necessary for security, legal compliance, or abuse prevention. You are responsible for your own internet access, devices, and compatible software.

Demo accounts, when offered, are read-only previews of the dashboard. Demo access does not grant production API rights or the ability to issue live licenses unless explicitly stated.

You must provide accurate registration information and keep it current. You are responsible for all activity under your account and for safeguarding passwords, API keys, webhook secrets, OAuth tokens, and other credentials. Notify us promptly of unauthorized use via Contact.

• Usernames - When you choose or change a username, it must follow our published rules (letters and numbers only, 3–20 characters, at least one letter, not numbers-only, and not reserved or abusive). We may reject or require changes to usernames that violate these rules.
• Two-factor authentication - Enable 2FA in account security settings when available. You are responsible for backup codes and linked authenticator devices.
• Sub-accounts - Reseller sub-accounts belong to a parent account and inherit permissions set by that parent. You may not share master credentials in a way that circumvents seat limits, licensing, or security controls.
• Linked providers - If you connect Discord, GitHub, or Google, you authorize us to receive the profile identifiers those providers share with your consent, subject to their policies.

You agree not to misuse the Service. Without limiting the foregoing, you must not:

• Use the Service in violation of applicable law or third-party rights.
• Probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of our systems without prior written authorization, or bypass security or authentication measures.
• Overload, flood, or attack the Service (including denial-of-service), or interfere with other users’ access.
• Use the Service to distribute malware, conduct phishing, or send unsolicited bulk messages in violation of law or policy.
• Reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble our software except to the extent expressly permitted by mandatory law.
• Resell or redistribute platform access in breach of your plan, expose API secrets in client-side code or public repositories, or scrape non-public data to build a competing product.
• List fraudulent products, impersonate others, or misrepresent AuthGuards as the merchant of record for third-party seller listings unless explicitly identified as such.

We may investigate suspected violations and cooperate with law enforcement. We may remove content or suspend access when we reasonably believe a violation has occurred.

Subject to these Terms and your plan, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to access and use the Service for your internal business purposes and, where applicable, to issue and manage license keys and related entitlements for your end users.

API keys, webhook signing secrets, and tokens must be kept confidential. You are responsible for calls made with your credentials, including rate limits, quotas, and usage charges described at checkout or in your dashboard.

If you operate customer-facing panels or collect data from end users, you are solely responsible for your relationship with those users, for lawful bases of processing where required, and for any terms, policies, or notices you provide to them. You will not represent that we endorse your product or offer warranties on our behalf without our prior written consent.

Eligible Seller accounts may publish a public hub, link page, and product store. The global marketplace aggregates public listings from participating sellers. Each storefront is operated by its seller unless we explicitly identify ourselves as the merchant of record on a listing or checkout flow.

• Seller responsibility - Sellers are responsible for product descriptions, pricing, fulfillment, support, and refunds for purchases from their stores, subject to their checkout provider’s rules.
• Visibility - Stores may be public, unlisted, private, or on hold depending on seller settings. Only public Seller storefronts appear in the global marketplace.
• Reviews & trust signals - Where shown, ratings and review counts may come from a seller’s connected checkout profile. They do not constitute an endorsement by AuthGuards.
• Platform role - We provide hosting and discovery tools. Disputes about a seller’s product should generally be directed to that seller first; we may assist with abuse or policy violations affecting the platform.

Fees, billing cycles, taxes, and refunds for your AuthGuards account are as shown at purchase or in your dashboard. Plans may be monthly, yearly, lifetime, or otherwise as offered. Unless stated otherwise, platform subscription fees are non-refundable except where required by law.

• Plan limits - Projects, keys, sub-accounts, API access, webhooks, and storefront features depend on your tier. Exceeding limits may require an upgrade or restrict certain actions.
• Seller store purchases - Refunds for products bought from a seller’s store are handled by that seller under their checkout provider’s rules unless we state otherwise.
• Chargebacks & abuse - Fraudulent chargebacks or repeated refund abuse may lead to account restriction.
• Taxes - You are responsible for applicable taxes unless we collect them at checkout.

We and our licensors own all rights in the Service, including software, branding, documentation, and aggregate analytics (excluding your Customer Data as defined below). Except for the limited rights expressly granted here, no rights are transferred to you.

“Customer Data” means data you or your end users submit to the Service (for example license records, user identifiers you upload, store listings, and configuration). You retain ownership of your Customer Data. You grant us a worldwide license to host, process, transmit, and display Customer Data only as needed to provide and improve the Service, secure our systems, and comply with law.

If you provide feedback or suggestions, you grant us an irrevocable, royalty-free license to use them without obligation to you. The Service may integrate with third-party services (for example OAuth providers, checkout partners, or bot protection). Your use of those services is governed by their terms and privacy policies.

Disclaimer. THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE.

Limitation of liability. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, NEITHER WE NOR OUR AFFILIATES, SUPPLIERS, OR LICENSORS WILL BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, OR GOODWILL. OUR AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATING TO THE SERVICE IN ANY TWELVE-MONTH PERIOD WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID US FOR THE SERVICE IN THAT PERIOD OR (B) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS (USD $100), EXCEPT WHERE LIABILITY CANNOT BE LIMITED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW.

Indemnity. You will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless us and our affiliates, officers, and employees from any third-party claims, damages, and costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of your use of the Service, your Customer Data, your end users, your storefront listings, or your violation of these Terms or applicable law.

You may stop using the Service at any time. We may suspend or terminate access if you materially breach these Terms, create risk or possible legal exposure, or if we are required to do so by law. Provisions that by their nature should survive (including intellectual property, disclaimers, limitations, indemnity, and governing law) will survive termination.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the United States and the State of Delaware, without regard to conflict-of-law principles, except that mandatory consumer protection laws in your country of residence may apply where they cannot be waived.

Except where prohibited, you agree that exclusive jurisdiction and venue for disputes arising out of these Terms or the Service will be the state and federal courts located in Delaware, USA, and you consent to personal jurisdiction there. If you are a consumer in the EEA or UK, you may also have rights under local law; nothing in these Terms limits non-waivable statutory rights.

We may update these Terms from time to time. We will post the revised Terms on this page and update the “Last updated” date. If changes are material, we will provide additional notice as appropriate (for example by email or in-product notice). Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms where permitted by law. If you do not agree, you must stop using the Service.

Our Privacy Policy explains how we collect and use personal data. For questions about these Terms, billing, or legal notices, contact us via Contact. For a summary of the platform, see About.
