Terms of Service

Last updated: July 10, 2024

Account

If you have an account on the products, you are responsible for maintaining the security of your account (e-mail used, password) and you are fully responsible for all activities that occur under the account and any other actions taken in connection with the account.

You must not use AppChecks services in a misleading or unlawful manner, including in a manner intended to trade on the name or reputation of others, and AppChecks may change or remove any content (monitors, notifications) that it considers inappropriate or unlawful, or otherwise likely to cause AppChecks liability.

You must immediately notify AppChecks of any unauthorized uses of your account or any other breaches of security. AppChecks will not be liable for any acts or omissions by You, including any damages of any kind incurred as a result of such acts or omissions.

Responsibility of Contributors

By using the products, you are entirely responsible for:

  • providing valid user data (e-mail, name, etc.);
  • not using the Monitors and Notifications for any illegal or abusive activity;
  • securing any e-mail, password or api keys of your account;
  • only having a single account;

AppChecks has the right to, in AppChecks's sole discretion:

  • refuse or remove any content (monitors, notifications) that, in AppChecks's reasonable opinion, violates any AppChecks policy or is in any way harmful or objectionable
  • terminate or deny access to and use of the products to any individual or entity for any reason, in AppChecks's sole discretion. AppChecks will have no obligation to provide a refund of any amounts previously paid.

Services Provided

AppChecks automatically checks the monitors defined by you in service-defined intervals. And, once a downtime is detected, it can notify the "user-defined contacts" with various methods (e-mail, SMS, mobile push messages, etc.). The monitoring methods include:

  • HTTP Monitoring
  • SSL Monitoring
  • Keyword Monitoring (checking the existence or non-existence of a given keyword on a web page)
  • Ping Monitoring
  • Port Monitoring

Payment and Renewal

General Terms

Optional paid services such as extra monitors, or extra SMS message / voice call credits are available on the products (any such service is considered an “Upgrade”). By selecting an Upgrade you agree to pay AppChecks the monthly subscription fees indicated for that service. Payments will be charged on a pre-paid basis on the day you sign up for an Upgrade and will cover the use of that service for a monthly subscription period as indicated. In the case of standalone SMS message / voice call credit packages, there is a one-time pre-paid payment. For any plan upgrade, the payment method that you provided will be charged or credited the new prorated amount for the current payment period upon your request. You will be requested to pay the rate for the upgrade for the period from the date of the upgrade to the end of your current billing cycle. After successful confirmation of purchase, you will receive access to your new plan within a few minutes(depending on the speed of our payment processor). The new rate will apply to your next billing cycle. The proration amount displayed in the checkout area is calculated based on the seconds remaining in your current billing period. That’s why you may see a slightly different amount of proration in checkout compared to the actual billed amount. A downgrade in a plan will be scheduled for your usual renewal date, meaning your current plan will remain active until the end of your currently prepaid period. The new rate for your plan will apply and be charged on your next billing cycle. As an exception, if you downgrade your plan within 24 hours of expiration, the new plan will become active within a few minutes, without any proration applied. If the new plan does not fit the limits of your account resources (e.g. monitors) we reserve the right to deny a downgrade of your plan, or to suspend resources that do not fit the limit. AppChecks reserves the right to change the payment terms and fees.

Minimal Requirements for Using AppChecks

AppChecks can be used with any operating system (including mobile) that can run a modern browser like Edge, Google Chrome, Safari, Firefox.

Purchase Process

Services provided by AppChecks can be purchased through the "Upgrade link" that can be reached after logging in to the products. The process works as:

  • You select the desired paid plan or the number of SMS message / voice call credits or desired number of extra seats
  • Complete the payment with a card
  • AppChecks sends an e-mail mentioning that the purchased service can be used

The payments will be processed by Stripe.com.

Automatic Renewal

Unless you notify AppChecks before the end of the applicable subscription period that you want to cancel an Upgrade, your Upgrade subscription will automatically renew and you authorize us to collect the then-applicable monthly subscription fee for such Upgrade (as well as any taxes) using any credit card or other payment mechanism we have on record for you. Upgrades can be canceled at any time in the Settings section.
