Agreement to These Terms
These Terms of Service govern your use of ClearOpt websites, software, plugins, cloud services, website scanning tools, and related services.
By using ClearOpt services, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree with these Terms, you should not use the services.
ClearOpt Services
ClearOpt provides tools intended to help website owners manage cookie consent, privacy-related technologies, and website cookie visibility.
Features may include:
- WordPress cookie consent tools
- Consent preference controls
- Third-party integration controls
- ClearOpt Cloud connectivity
- Website cookie scanning
- Cookie and privacy-related reporting or monitoring
Features may be added, changed, or removed as ClearOpt develops.
ClearOpt Cloud
A WordPress website is not connected to ClearOpt Cloud automatically. A website administrator must explicitly choose to connect the website.
When connected, ClearOpt may issue a site-specific authentication credential that allows the WordPress plugin to communicate securely with ClearOpt Cloud.
Website scans are performed only against URLs associated with the connected website and may be subject to technical and security restrictions.
Website Scanning
ClearOpt scanning tools are intended for websites that you own, manage, or are authorized to evaluate.
You agree not to use ClearOpt to intentionally:
- Scan systems you are not authorized to access
- Attempt to access private networks or restricted systems
- Circumvent authentication or security controls
- Disrupt websites, networks, or services
- Perform unlawful or abusive activity
ClearOpt may restrict, suspend, or block scanning activity that appears unsafe or abusive.
No Legal Advice or Compliance Guarantee
ClearOpt provides technical tools and informational features.
ClearOpt is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice.
Use of ClearOpt does not guarantee compliance with GDPR, CCPA/CPRA, state privacy laws, cookie laws, advertising requirements, accessibility requirements, or any other law or regulation.
Website owners remain responsible for determining which laws apply to them and for configuring their websites and consent practices appropriately. You should consult qualified legal counsel when legal advice is required.
Scan Results
ClearOpt attempts to identify cookies and related technologies observed during a website scan, but no automated scanning system can guarantee that every technology, cookie, script, or tracking mechanism will be detected.
Scan results may change based on:
- Geographic location
- Browser behavior
- User state
- Consent state
- Third-party services
- Website configuration
- Timing
- Network conditions
- Changes made by website or service providers
Scan results should therefore be treated as technical information rather than a legal certification.
Your Responsibilities
You are responsible for:
- Your website and its content
- Your WordPress installation
- Your privacy and cookie policies
- Your third-party integrations
- Your consent configuration
- Maintaining appropriate backups
- Protecting administrative access to your website
- Ensuring that your use of ClearOpt is lawful
Third-Party Services
ClearOpt may interact with or provide integrations for third-party services.
ClearOpt does not control those services and is not responsible for their availability, functionality, privacy practices, security, or terms.
Your use of third-party services is governed by the terms and policies of those providers.
Intellectual Property
ClearOpt software, branding, website content, service interfaces, and related materials are protected by applicable intellectual property laws.
Open-source components of ClearOpt, including the ClearOpt Cookie Consent WordPress plugin, remain subject to their applicable open-source licenses.
Use of an open-source component does not grant rights to ClearOpt trademarks, branding, hosted services, or proprietary systems.
Service Availability
ClearOpt may modify, suspend, limit, or discontinue any part of the service at any time.
While we aim to provide reliable services, ClearOpt does not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free availability.
Maintenance, security issues, internet outages, third-party failures, or other conditions may affect service availability.
Disclaimer of Warranties
To the extent permitted by law, ClearOpt services are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis.
ClearOpt makes no warranty that the services will be uninterrupted, error-free, completely secure, or suitable for every legal or regulatory requirement.
Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, ClearOpt will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from the use of or inability to use the services.
ClearOpt is not responsible for fines, claims, losses, or damages resulting from a website owner’s privacy practices, consent configuration, third-party technologies, or reliance on scan results.
Suspension or Termination
ClearOpt may suspend or terminate access to services when reasonably necessary to:
- Protect the security of ClearOpt or its users
- Prevent abuse
- Address unlawful activity
- Enforce these Terms
- Protect infrastructure or third-party systems
Users may stop using ClearOpt services at any time.
Changes to These Terms
ClearOpt may update these Terms as its services evolve.
Updated Terms will be posted on this page with a revised effective date. Continued use of ClearOpt after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
