Terms & Conditions

Effective: April 4, 2025·Last updated: April 4, 2025·16 sections
Privacy Policy

By creating an account or using CryptoGuard, you agree to be legally bound by these Terms. Please read them carefully.

Critical notice: CryptoGuard is an informational tool only — not a legal compliance system. Risk scores are not official sanctions determinations. Always consult qualified legal counsel for compliance decisions. See Section 2 for full details.

1

Acceptance of Terms

By accessing, registering for, or using CryptoGuard and any related APIs, services, or websites (collectively, the "Service"), you ("User", "you") confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to be legally bound by these Terms and Conditions ("Terms") and any policies incorporated by reference. If you do not agree, you must immediately cease use of the Service.

If you are using the Service on behalf of a company or other legal entity, you represent that you have the authority to bind that entity to these Terms, in which case "you" refers to that entity.

2

Not Financial, Legal, or Compliance Advice

Important

THE SERVICE IS AN INFORMATIONAL SCREENING TOOL ONLY. NOTHING ON CRYPTOGUARD CONSTITUTES FINANCIAL, INVESTMENT, LEGAL, REGULATORY, OR COMPLIANCE ADVICE OF ANY KIND.

Risk scores, flags, and reports produced by the Service are automated outputs derived from third-party data sources. They do not represent legal determinations, certifications, or professional opinions. You must not rely on the Service as a substitute for independent legal counsel, compliance review, or due diligence.

A "LOW" risk score does not certify that a wallet address is safe, legitimate, lawful, or free from sanctions. A "HIGH" or "CRITICAL" score does not constitute proof of wrongdoing, sanctions violations, or illegal activity. Any action you take — including blocking, refusing, or approving transactions — based on CryptoGuard output is taken entirely at your own risk and discretion.

Description of Service

CryptoGuard provides blockchain wallet risk analysis and security screening across 23+ blockchain networks. The Service cross-references wallet addresses against multiple authoritative data sources:

  • The US Treasury Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) Specially Designated Nationals (SDN) and Consolidated Sanctions List, sourced directly from the US Treasury's official public feed
  • The GoPlus Security third-party threat intelligence and blockchain security database
  • Live on-chain transaction data via public blockchain APIs including Etherscan, Blockstream, Solana RPC, Tronscan, and Blockchair

The Service is provided on a subscription basis (Free, Pro, Enterprise) with defined usage limits per plan. Features, scan quotas, and data access vary by plan tier and are subject to change with notice.

4

We do not warrant the accuracy of any third-party data integrated into the Service. False positives and false negatives are inherent characteristics of any automated screening system and are explicitly disclaimed.

Some jurisdictions do not allow exclusion of certain implied warranties or limitation of liability for certain types of damages. In such jurisdictions, our liability is limited to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

8

Indemnification

Legal

You agree to fully indemnify, defend, and hold harmless CryptoGuard and its officers, directors, employees, agents, contractors, licensors, successors, and assigns from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable solicitors' or attorneys' fees and court costs) arising out of or relating to:

  • Your access to or use of the Service in any manner
  • Your violation of these Terms or any policy incorporated by reference
  • Your violation of any applicable law, regulation, directive, or order
  • Any decision, action, transaction, or omission you take or make in reliance on the Service's output

  • Any claim by a third party arising from your use of the Service

We reserve the right, at our own expense, to assume exclusive control of the defence of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you. In such case, you agree to cooperate fully with our defence and to not settle any claim without our prior written consent.

9

Data Sources and Third-Party Content

The Service incorporates data from the following third-party sources, each subject to their own terms and availability:

  • OFAC US Treasury SDN & Consolidated Sanctions List — public data provided by the US Department of the Treasury under the Office of Foreign Assets Control. CryptoGuard is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or an official channel of the US Treasury or OFAC. Our sanctions data is intended as a convenience reference only.
  • GoPlus Security — independent blockchain threat intelligence. CryptoGuard makes no representation as to the accuracy, completeness, or currency of GoPlus data.
  • Blockchain explorers and RPC nodes (Etherscan, Blockstream, Solana RPC, Tronscan, Blockchair, etc.) — public blockchain data subject to their own availability and accuracy limitations.

We are not responsible for the content, accuracy, timeliness, or availability of any third-party data. Inclusion of a wallet address in any risk report does not constitute an official legal or regulatory determination.

For official, authoritative OFAC sanctions compliance, you must always consult the US Treasury's official OFAC sanctions search tool directly at sanctions.ofac.treas.gov. CryptoGuard results must not be used as the sole basis for sanctions compliance decisions.

10

Billing, Payments, and Refunds

Paid plans (Pro and Enterprise) are billed on a recurring subscription basis through Stripe, Inc. By subscribing to a paid plan, you:

  • Authorise us to charge your designated payment method automatically on each billing cycle (monthly or annual, as selected)
  • Confirm you are authorised to use the payment method provided
  • Accept Stripe's Terms of Service and Privacy Policy in addition to these Terms
  • Acknowledge that subscription fees are charged in advance for each billing period

Cancellation: You may cancel your subscription at any time via the Billing page in your account. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current paid billing period; you retain full access until that date. No pro-rata refunds are issued for unused time remaining in a paid period, except as required by mandatory consumer protection law in your jurisdiction.

Refunds: Refunds are issued at our sole discretion on a case-by-case basis. To request a refund, contact support@cryptoguard.services with your account email address and charge details within 14 calendar days of the disputed charge.

Price Changes: We reserve the right to change subscription prices at any time. We will provide at least 14 days' advance notice of any price increase by email to your registered address or via a prominent notice within the Service. Continued use of the Service after the effective date of a price change constitutes your acceptance of the new pricing.

Non-payment: Failure to pay any amount due may result in immediate downgrade to the Free plan or suspension of your account without further notice and without liability to you.

11

Privacy and Data Processing

We collect and process personal data as necessary to provide the Service. This includes:

  • Account information: email address and hashed password
  • Wallet addresses submitted for scanning and their associated scan results and risk data
  • Usage data: scan history, monitoring preferences, API usage, and session activity
  • Billing information processed by Stripe — we do not store or have access to full payment card details
  • Support communications submitted through the help system
  • Technical data: IP addresses, browser type, device identifiers, and access logs for security purposes

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to third parties for marketing, advertising, or commercial purposes. Wallet addresses submitted are processed solely to return scan results and, where you enable it, to send risk change alerts.

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom, or Switzerland, we process your personal data as a data controller under applicable data protection legislation including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the UK GDPR. Our lawful bases for processing are: performance of a contract (providing the Service to you), compliance with legal obligations, and our legitimate interests in operating and improving the Service.

You have the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict, or port your personal data, and to object to certain processing. To exercise any of these rights, contact us at support@cryptoguard.services. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection supervisory authority.

For full details of how we collect, use, store, and protect your data, please review our Privacy Policy.

Nothing in these Terms grants you any right, title, interest, or licence in or to the Service, its components, or any intellectual property therein, beyond the limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to use the Service strictly in accordance with these Terms and your subscription plan.

You may not, without our prior written consent:

By submitting wallet addresses or other data, you grant us a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive licence to process that data solely for the purpose of delivering the Service to you. This licence terminates upon account deletion, subject to any retention obligations imposed by law.

13

Termination and Suspension

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service, with or without notice, if we reasonably believe:

  • You have breached these Terms or any policy incorporated by reference
  • Your use of the Service poses a security, compliance, legal, or reputational risk to CryptoGuard, other users, or third parties
  • We are required to do so by applicable law, court order, or regulatory authority
  • You have engaged in fraudulent, abusive, or unlawful conduct in connection with the Service

You may terminate your account at any time by contacting support@cryptoguard.services with a deletion request.

Effect of termination: Upon termination for any reason, your right to access and use the Service ceases immediately. We may retain your data for a period as required or permitted by law before deletion. Pre-paid subscription fees are non-refundable upon termination for cause.

Survival: The following provisions survive termination and remain in full force: Sections on Not Financial Advice, Disclaimers of Warranties, Limitation of Liability, Indemnification, Intellectual Property, Governing Law, and any accrued payment obligations.

14

Changes to These Terms

We reserve the right to modify, update, or replace these Terms at any time at our sole discretion.

For material changes — those that meaningfully affect your rights or obligations — we will provide at least 14 days' advance notice by email to your registered address or by a prominent notice displayed within the Service prior to the changes taking effect.

For non-material changes (such as typographical corrections, clarifications, or administrative updates), we may update the Terms without prior notice, and they take effect immediately upon posting.

Your continued use of the Service after the effective date of any revised Terms constitutes your binding acceptance of those changes. If you do not agree to the revised Terms, you must stop using the Service before the effective date and may request account deletion.

15

Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

Legal

These Terms and any dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of or relating to these Terms, their subject matter, formation, performance, or breach, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with applicable law, without regard to conflict of law provisions.

Informal Resolution: Before initiating any formal proceedings, you agree to first attempt to resolve any dispute informally by contacting us at support@cryptoguard.services marked "Dispute Notice" in the subject line. We will attempt to resolve the dispute within 30 calendar days of receiving your notice.

If a dispute cannot be resolved informally within 30 days, it shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the competent courts in the applicable jurisdiction.

Severability: If any provision of these Terms is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect, that provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable, and the validity, legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired.

Waiver: Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of that right or provision unless acknowledged and agreed to in writing.

Entire Agreement: These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and any other policies incorporated by reference, constitute the entire agreement between you and CryptoGuard with respect to the Service and supersede all prior and contemporaneous agreements, understandings, representations, and warranties of any kind.
