Terms of Service
Last updated: March 31, 2026
Agreement overview
These terms govern your use of products and services provided by Symvek Technologies, operating as Symvek, located in BC, Canada.
By using any Symvek product, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, do not use the products. We have tried to write these in plain language, not dense legalese.
Our products
Symvek Shield
A privacy browser extension for Chrome and Firefox.
Free tier
Core privacy features, free forever. Tracker blocking, privacy scoring, cookie auto-reject.
Premium tier
Proprietary add-on features. Enhanced protection capabilities beyond the free tier.
Licensing
Symvek products are proprietary software distributed through official channels (Chrome Web Store, Firefox Add-ons). The free tier is provided at no cost but remains proprietary.
Premium features and add-ons are licensed separately. Their use is governed by these Terms of Service and any additional terms presented at the time of purchase.
Acceptable use
You may use Symvek products for any lawful purpose. You agree not to:
- Use the products to violate any applicable law or regulation
- Attempt to reverse engineer, decompile, or extract source code from any Symvek products
- Use automated means to abuse, overload, or interfere with our services
- Redistribute premium features or share license keys with unauthorized users
- Misrepresent your identity or impersonate others when using our services
Payment
Free tiers do not require an account or registration. Premium products require a one-time purchase through a third-party payment processor. We receive your email address and a transaction record. We do not receive or store payment card details. Your license key validates offline without contacting our servers.
Subscriptions
Premium subscriptions are billed monthly or annually, depending on the plan you choose. Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each billing period unless you cancel.
Cancellation
You may cancel your subscription at any time. Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing period. You retain access to premium features until then.
Refunds
We offer a full refund within 14 days of your initial purchase or subscription start, no questions asked. After 14 days, refunds are provided at our discretion. To request a refund, contact legal@symvek.com.
Price changes
We may change subscription prices. If we do, we will give you at least 30 days notice before the new price takes effect. If you do not agree to the new price, you can cancel before it applies.
Intellectual property
The Symvek name, logo, and branding are trademarks of Symvek Technologies All code, premium features, and product designs are the property of Symvek Technologies
Your content remains yours. We do not claim ownership over any data you create or provide through our products. Since we do not store your data, this point is largely academic, but we want it stated clearly.
Service availability
We aim to keep our services running reliably, but we do not guarantee 100% uptime. Maintenance, updates, and unforeseen events may cause temporary interruptions. Since Shield runs primarily on-device, it will continue to function offline for most features.
We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any product or feature with reasonable notice. If we discontinue a paid product, we will provide a prorated refund for any unused subscription period.
Disclaimer of warranties
Our products are provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.
We do not warrant that our products will be uninterrupted, error-free, or completely secure. No software is perfect, and we are transparent about that.
Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Symvek Technologies shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits or revenue, whether incurred directly or indirectly, or any loss of data, use, goodwill, or other intangible losses resulting from:
- Your use of or inability to use our products
- Any unauthorized access to or alteration of your data
- Any third-party conduct related to our products
- Any other matter relating to our products
Our total liability for any claim arising from these terms or your use of our products shall not exceed the amount you paid us in the 12 months preceding the claim, or $50 CAD, whichever is greater.
Termination
You may stop using our products at any time. For premium subscriptions, cancel through your account settings or by contacting us.
We may suspend or terminate your access to premium features if you violate these terms, after providing notice and a reasonable opportunity to cure the violation where possible.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the Province of British Columbia and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein, without regard to conflict of law principles.
Any disputes arising from these terms shall be resolved in the courts of British Columbia, Canada. Before pursuing formal legal action, we encourage you to contact us directly so we can try to resolve the issue.
Changes to these terms
We may update these terms from time to time. When we do, we will post the revised terms on this page with a new "last updated" date. For material changes, we will provide at least 30 days notice through our website or by email (if you have an account). Your continued use of our products after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
