Terms of Use
These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your access to and use of stayprivateonline.net (the "Site"), operated by [YOUR LEGAL NAME OR BUSINESS ENTITY] ("we," "us"). By using the Site, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site.
1. About the Site
Stay Private Online provides independent, informational comparisons and commentary about VPN services. It is an advertising-supported publication. It is not a VPN provider, reseller, or agent of any provider, and it does not provide legal, security, technical, or professional advice.
2. Affiliate relationships
The Site contains affiliate links. If you click certain links and purchase a subscription, we may receive a commission from the provider at no additional cost to you. Our editorial selections and rankings are made independently and are not determined by commission rates. See our Affiliate Disclosure for details.
3. No guarantees; accuracy of information
We work to keep information accurate, but VPN providers change their pricing, plans, features, and policies frequently and without notice to us. Prices, plan names, and features shown on the Site may be out of date. Always verify the current price, terms, and refund policy on the provider's official website before purchasing. We make no representations or warranties that any provider will meet your needs, unblock a particular service, or perform as described.
4. Third-party sites and services
The Site links to third-party websites and services we do not control. We are not responsible for the content, products, privacy practices, or terms of those third parties. Your dealings with any VPN provider are solely between you and that provider.
5. Intellectual property
The content on this Site — text, layout, graphics, and design — is owned by us or our licensors and is protected by applicable law. You may not reproduce, republish, or distribute substantial portions of the Site without our permission. Third-party names and logos are the property of their respective owners and are used for identification only.
6. Acceptable use
You agree not to misuse the Site, including by attempting to disrupt it, scrape it at a scale that burdens our infrastructure, introduce malicious code, or use it for any unlawful purpose.
7. Disclaimer of warranties
The Site is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Site will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of harmful components.
8. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, we will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages, or for any loss arising from your use of the Site or reliance on its content, including any decision to purchase a third-party service. Our total liability for any claim relating to the Site will not exceed CAD $100.
9. Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the Province of Alberta and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. You agree to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located in Alberta, Canada for any dispute, except where applicable consumer-protection law gives you the right to bring a claim in your home jurisdiction. [Owner: confirm this choice — a Canadian operator targeting U.S. users may prefer Alberta, but you can substitute a U.S. state if advised.]
10. Changes to these Terms
We may revise these Terms at any time by posting an updated version on this page. Your continued use of the Site after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
