Terms of Service
Last updated: October 2026 • Effective Date: October 15, 2026
1. Agreement & Scope
By creating an account or accessing ChangeWatch ("the Service"), operated by Aayush Srivastava, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree to these terms, do not access or use the Service.
2. Acceptable Use Policy
ChangeWatch is designed for tracking publicly available web pages. You agree to use the Service strictly in compliance with applicable laws and the following conditions:
- Public Resources Only: You may only configure monitors for publicly accessible web pages. You agree not to attempt to circumvent authentication walls, access paywalled content unlawfully, or bypass technical protection measures.
- Respect for Target Hosts: You agree not to configure excessively frequent monitoring intervals with the intent or effect of degrading target server performance or launching denial-of-service (DoS) attacks.
- No Abusive Automation: You may not use automated scripts to abuse, brute-force, or exploit the ChangeWatch web application, API endpoints, or scheduler.
3. Strict SSRF Prohibition
ChangeWatch employs automated defenses against Server-Side Request Forgery. Attempting to probe, scan, or query internal networks, RFC 1918 private IP spaces (10.0.0.0/8, 172.16.0.0/12, 192.168.0.0/16), loopbacks, link-local addresses, or cloud metadata endpoints (169.254.169.254) is strictly prohibited and constitutes an immediate violation of these terms resulting in permanent account termination.
4. Service Availability & Scheduling
Monitoring execution is provided on a best-effort basis. Checks are scheduled with deliberate jitter to distribute server load. Because external websites can implement bot protections (Cloudflare, CAPTCHAs, geoblocking), ChangeWatch does not warrant that every target web page can be rendered or captured continuously without obstruction.
5. Limitation of Liability
In no event shall Aayush Srivastava, ChangeWatch, or its contributors be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages resulting from your use of or inability to use the Service, including missed change notifications, delayed alerts, or false-negative diffs.
