Terms of service
Acceptance
By using this site you agree to these terms and to the privacy policy. If you do not agree, do not use it. If you use CertLark for a business, you confirm you can bind that business.
The service and early access
CertLark checks certificate and domain-registration dates for domains you list and reports them. It does not monitor uptime. CertLark is in early access: the public pages and the early-access email list are live today, and the free checker, dashboard, alerts, reports and checkout open later. Joining the list does not give you an account, a subscription or a promise of a launch date or of any feature, and costs nothing. We may change or drop features before launch.
No guarantee of detection
Results rely on public logs, network checks and registry data that can be late, incomplete or unavailable. The service is not a guarantee that you will be warned about every expiry. You remain responsible for renewing your and your clients' certificates and domains. Nothing here is professional, legal or financial advice.
Accounts
When accounts are live: you must have the right to monitor the domains you add, you are responsible for activity on your account, and you must keep your sign-in email secure. Each plan has a site limit shown on the pricing section of the home page. One account is for one person or agency.
Acceptable use
Do not use the service to break the law, to check domains you have no reason to check, to overload our systems or the public services we query, to probe or attack others, or to resell the service without our written permission. Expect rate limits. We may suspend access that breaks these rules.
Reports and white-label use
On the plan that includes white-label reports (Agency, when live), you may send the reports to your own clients under your own name and logo. You keep your own branding and client names; you confirm you have the right to use them. You may not remove the accuracy notes in the report.
Payments
Checkout is not open. When it opens, paid plans will be billed in US dollars through Stripe, monthly or yearly, and renew automatically until you cancel. Prices on the home page do not include any sales tax or similar taxes that apply to you; where required we add them at checkout. Cancelling stops the next renewal and you keep access to the end of the period you paid for. Plan prices may change for new subscribers; the price you started on is locked while your subscription stays active. Refunds are covered by the refund policy: if CertLark isn't for you, email within 14 days of your first payment for a full refund of that payment. Renewals are not refunded.
Intellectual property
We own the site, the software and the content we wrote. You keep ownership of the data you give us. You give us permission to use that data only to run the service for you. The example report and guides are for your own use; do not copy the site's design or text to publish as your own.
Third-party services
The service depends on others, including Cloudflare (hosting), Stripe (payments, when live), Resend (email delivery, when live), public Certificate Transparency logs such as crt.sh, and domain registry RDAP servers. We do not control them and are not responsible for their outages or data. Their terms apply to your use of them.
Disclaimers
To the extent the law allows, the site and service are provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, including accuracy, availability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. The early-access site may change, be slow or be unavailable.
Limitation of liability
To the extent the law allows, Quietlathe LLC is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive loss, or for lost profits, lost data or business interruption, including loss from an expired certificate or domain that we did not report. Our total liability for any claim is limited to the greater of the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim or $50. Some places do not allow these limits, so they may not apply to you.
Indemnity
You agree to cover claims, losses and reasonable costs from third parties that arise from your misuse of the service, your breach of these terms, or domains you add without the right to do so.
Termination
You can stop using the service at any time, and cancel a paid plan as described above. We can suspend or end access if you break these terms or if we stop offering the service, and if we end a paid plan without cause we refund the unused part of the period you paid for.
Governing law and venue
These terms are governed by the laws of Wisconsin, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute will be brought in the state courts located in Outagamie County, Wisconsin, and you and we consent to those courts. Nothing here removes rights you have under mandatory consumer law where you live.
Changes
We may update these terms and will post the new date here. Material changes will be emailed to paying customers before they take effect. Using the service after a change means you accept it.
