These stipulations are valid for all users of the Service, including those subscribing to paid services. If you oppose any segment of the Terms, you're advised against using our service.
MODIFICATION
Cipher Shield maintains the privilege, at its sole discretion, to tweak or revise elements of this agreement. If you have granted permission, changes to the terms might be communicated to you through email, in-app alerts, or push notifications. The responsibility is on you to stay informed of such updates. Should you persist in leveraging Cipher Shield's Services and Content post the inception of these changes, it signifies your recognition and acceptance of the revised Terms.
PRIVACY POLICY

During the registration and purchase processes, Cipher Shield seeks details such as email addresses and payment information for the sake of customer assistance and billing.
The specifics on the utilization of this data are comprehensively laid out in our website's Privacy Declaration. Prior to availing our services, we urge you to review and familiarize yourself with our Privacy Declaration.
We pledge not to disclose our users' details to any external entities, and we won't adhere to any data disclosure requests unless mandated by a judicial order.
LICENSE
Cipher Shield reserves any rights not specifically granted to you.
You are granted a non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the service by Cipher Shield. The Services may not be modified, distributed, sublicensed, or exploited commercially in any manner, nor may they be made available to third parties.
All rights not expressly granted to the user are retained by Cipher Shield.
ACCEPTABLE USAGE POLICY
You hold the responsibility to ensure that your interactions with the Website, Apps, Software, and Services consistently abide by all local, regional, national, and global laws and regulations.

Disseminating, reproducing, uploading, or downloading copyrighted content without obtaining prior consent from the rightful owner.
Sharing, reproducing, uploading, or downloading any material featuring explicit or inappropriate representations of minors.
Making efforts to access the Service or its related systems unauthorizedly, such as through hacking.
Participating in behaviors that hinder or constrain other users from enjoying or using the Services, including but not restricted to disproportionate network usage (for instance, consuming vastly more bandwidth than an average user over an extended duration, or similar actions that impose an undue burden on the network potentially disrupting other users).

DISCLAIMERS
The service is offered "as is" and "as available," devoid of any explicit or implicit guarantees or affirmations by Cipher Shield. Cipher Shield offers no assurances that the Services will cater to your requirements, remain constantly accessible, or that particular Service facets will always be operational. You must recognize that any engagement with the Website and Services is purely at your discretion and risk.
The efficacy of the VPN Service, encompassing aspects like coverage, velocity, quality, and server positioning, might differ and could be unavailable due to various circumstances, including but not confined to third-party service disruptions, emergencies, equipment shortcomings, network or transmission issues, or problems arising from interference or signal potency. Cipher Shield holds no liability for any inability to uphold the precision, caliber, safety, or confidentiality of your data, communications, or content, irrespective of the cause, be it service breaks or functional challenges.
Cipher Shield, acting on its own judgment, can set restrictions on usage or service, halt the Service, or block particular kinds of usage.
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
Under no circumstance shall Cipher Shield be held accountable, whether grounded in contract, tort, strict liability, negligence, or any other legal premise, for any indirect, consequential, exemplary, incidental, or punitive damages stemming from the services. Despite being informed of potential damages, neither Cipher Shield nor its associates, affiliates, parent entities, members, executives, or staff will be liable for any direct, indirect, special, consequential, or incidental losses or any damages whatsoever. Some jurisdictions might not permit this exclusion; hence it may not apply where legally unpermitted.
OWNERSHIP
Cipher Shield retains ownership of Cipher Shield, the Service, and everything inclusive of its visual designs, data, servers, offerings, software, graphics, and all other constituent parts of the service
INDEMNIFICATION
By engaging with the Content and Service, you commit to safeguarding, defending, and absolving Cipher Shield, its employees, members, leaders, representatives, providers, and its affiliated entities and their personnel, agents, executives, stakeholders, and members from any claims, costs, including attorney's fees, resulting from your interaction with the Content and Service or any breach of this Agreement.
