Terms of Usage
Welcome to DeGuard. These Terms of Usage (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the DeGuard VPN service (“Service”). By using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, please discontinue use immediately.
1. Acceptance of Terms
By accessing or using the Service, you confirm that you are at least 18 years old (or have the legal capacity to contract in your jurisdiction) and agree to comply with these Terms, as well as any applicable laws and regulations.
2. Scope of Services
DeGuard provides VPN services designed to protect user privacy and enable secure, private access to the internet.
The Service is provided “as is” and “as available.” While we strive to ensure stability and broad accessibility, uninterrupted availability cannot be guaranteed.
Service availability may be affected by third-party factors, including internet providers, device manufacturers, or government restrictions.
Our support team will make reasonable efforts to assist you in configuring and troubleshooting the Service. If the Service cannot be made to function on your device, you may be eligible for a refund under our Refund Policy (maintained separately).
3. User Responsibilities
You agree to use the Service responsibly and in compliance with these Terms. You must not:
- engage in illegal activities, including but not limited to distribution of copyrighted material, child exploitation, hacking, phishing, or fraud;
- use the Service to launch spam, denial-of-service attacks, or other abusive behavior;
- attempt to circumvent security features of the Service;
- share, resell, or otherwise transfer access credentials, except where expressly permitted (e.g., resale of NFT-based subscriptions on supported marketplaces).
You are solely responsible for all activities conducted through your device, wallet, or access credentials.
4. Payments
Payments for subscriptions are subject to the published pricing at the time of purchase.
All prices may be updated from time to time.
Network and processing fees (such as blockchain gas fees) are borne by the customer.
Refunds are not covered under these Terms and are instead governed by the separate Refund Policy available on our website.
5. Intellectual Property
All rights, title, and interest in the DeGuard Service, including but not limited to software, branding, and documentation, remain the property of DeGuard or its licensors. Use of the Service does not grant you ownership of any intellectual property rights.
6. Limitation of Liability
DeGuard is not responsible for:
- service interruptions or failures caused by internet providers, network operators, government firewalls, or third-party services;
- the inability to access or use specific external platforms (e.g., streaming sites, messaging apps);
- loss of data, reputational damage, or financial loss resulting from misuse of the Service.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, DeGuard’s liability shall be limited to the total amount you paid for the Service during your active subscription period.
7. Termination of Service
We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your access to the Service, without prior notice, if:
- you violate these Terms or applicable laws;
- there is suspected fraudulent or abusive activity;
- continuation of service is impossible due to external legal, regulatory, or technical constraints.
You may discontinue use of the Service at any time. Termination does not relieve you of obligations incurred under these Terms prior to termination.
8. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution
These Terms shall be governed by and construed under the laws of Panama.
Any disputes shall first be attempted to be resolved through amicable negotiations. If resolution is not reached, disputes shall be referred to binding arbitration or competent courts of the chosen jurisdiction, unless otherwise required by law.
9. Amendments
DeGuard may update these Terms from time to time. Updates will be posted on our official website, and continued use of the Service constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
