Terms of Service

optoutwatch is provided by cassida.io GmbH, Lindenufer 39, 13597 Berlin, Germany. Managing director: Nicolas Tichy. Registered with the Amtsgericht Charlottenburg (Berlin) under HRB 226418 B. VAT ID: DE342437852.

The service is offered only to businesses, for use in their trade or profession. By creating an account you confirm that you act on behalf of a business and not as a consumer.

optoutwatch scans websites from a US location and reports what it observes about consent banners, opt-out signals, required links, privacy policies and third-party services. Scans are automated and reflect a single point in time and location.

Reports are an automated first assessment, not legal advice. They do not state that a site conforms to any law, and they cannot replace review by qualified counsel. Whether a law applies to your business depends on facts we cannot observe, such as revenue and data volumes.

optoutwatch is not a law firm and does not provide legal services. Using the service, reading or sharing a report, or contacting us does not create an attorney-client relationship.

The service and all reports are provided “as is” and “as available”. Automated scans can miss things or be wrong — for example when a site shows different content depending on location or visitor, blocks automated access, or changes after the scan. To the extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including accuracy, completeness and fitness for a particular purpose.

Keep your log-in credentials confidential. You are responsible for activity under your account. Provide accurate information, including the threshold self-declaration for each site.

Only submit websites you operate or are authorized to assess. Do not use the service to overload, attack or circumvent the security of any website. Our scanner loads pages the way a regular Chrome browser does, so that it sees what visitors see; it does not announce itself as a bot. It respects timeouts and keeps request volume moderate.

Reports are made to help website operators improve their own sites. You may not use the service or any report — including a shared one — to prepare, support or bring a claim, demand letter, lawsuit, arbitration or regulatory complaint against the operator of a scanned website, and you may not offer reports or scan results to others for that purpose (for example as lead generation for litigation). Reports are not designed or validated as evidence: a scan records one browser visit from one location and can differ from what other visitors see. Accounts used this way are closed, and we may report the misuse.

You decide whom you share a report with and are responsible for it. A shared report records technical observations; it is not legal advice and not a statement about the conduct of the business behind the scanned site. Recipients must not rely on it without their own legal review. Do not publish reports about websites you do not operate.

Paid plans are billed monthly in advance in US dollars through Stripe. Prices exclude applicable taxes. You can cancel at any time; the plan stays active until the end of the paid period. Fees already paid are not refunded, including for partial months, except where the law requires a refund. Deleting your account ends the subscription immediately. Unused scans do not carry over.

We aim for the service to be available at all times but do not promise uninterrupted operation. Scans are queued and may wait while capacity is in use.

To the extent permitted by law, our total liability for any claim relating to the service is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim. We are not liable for indirect or consequential damages, or for decisions you make based on a report.

These terms are governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. The courts of Berlin, Germany, have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising from or relating to these terms or the service, to the extent permitted by law.

We may update these terms. Material changes are announced by e-mail at least 30 days in advance. Continued use after that date means you accept the updated terms.
