These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of AliveCheck.io (“Service”), including the Cloudflare WAF Rule Generator and Premium WAF Rule Library. By accessing or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms, which incorporate our Privacy Policy.
AliveCheck.io is operated by Jan Schwöbel, a sole proprietor registered in Germany (“we,” “us,” or “our”). We use Lemon Squeezy for payments, Hetzner Online GmbH for hosting in Germany, Resend for email communications, and Supabase for database services, with data residing in Germany and the USA. By using our Service, you enter into a binding contract with us. Effective: March 23, 2025.
“Service” refers to the AliveCheck.io website, monitoring tools, WAF Rule Generator, and Premium WAF Rule Library.
“User,” “you,” or “your” refers to any individual or entity using our Service.
“WAF Rules” refers to Cloudflare Web Application Firewall rules generated or provided through our Service.
“Premium Library” refers to the collection of pre-built WAF rules available for purchase.
You may need an account to access certain features. You must provide accurate information when registering, maintain the confidentiality of your credentials, and are responsible for all activities under your account. Notify us of changes at [email protected].
You must be at least 18 years old to use the Service. By using it, you warrant you meet all eligibility requirements. See Section 9 for termination details.
You agree to:
Comply with all applicable German and EU laws and regulations.
Respect the intellectual property rights of others.
Use the Service only to generate and deploy WAF rules for website security.
Not process personal data via the Service in violation of GDPR or German BDSG.
You agree not to:
Reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to discover the Service's source code.
Resell or redistribute free WAF rules without our written permission.
Use the Service to develop a competing product.
Gain unauthorized access to any part of the Service.
Impair or overburden the Service.
Use automated tools to access the Service without permission.
Upload illegal, harmful, or rights-violating content.
The Premium WAF Rule Library is available for a one-time payment, starting at €1 (inclusive of German VAT at the current rate). You set the amount above this minimum.
Payments are processed via Lemon Squeezy, a secure third-party provider. You agree to their terms by purchasing. For disputes, contact [email protected] within 30 days.
Due to the digital nature of the Premium Library, sales are final unless refunds are required by German or EU consumer law (see Section 6).
EU consumers have a 14-day right to withdraw from this contract without reason, per the EU Consumer Rights Directive and German BGB (§ 355). This is detailed pre-purchase. To exercise this right (if not waived), email [email protected] within 14 days.
By accessing the Premium Library immediately after purchase, you consent to waive this right via an explicit checkout option, as the content is delivered instantly (§ 356(5) BGB).
All WAF rules, templates, and content on the Service, including the Premium Library, are owned by AliveCheck or its licensors and protected by German and EU intellectual property laws. Report infringements to [email protected].
Purchasing the Premium Library grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, worldwide license for personal or business use on your websites/applications. You may not resell or redistribute the rules.
You own content you generate (e.g., custom WAF rules). You grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to store and use it to provide the Service.
The Service is provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties, except as required by German law (§§ 434 ff. BGB).
WAF rules aim to enhance security, but we don't guarantee they'll block all threats. Effectiveness varies by external factors.
To the fullest extent permitted by German law (§§ 276, 278 BGB), AliveCheck isn't liable for indirect, special, or consequential damages (e.g., lost profits), except for gross negligence, willful misconduct, or breach of essential obligations.
Our total liability is capped at what you paid for the Premium Library in the prior 12 months. We're not liable for interruptions due to force majeure (e.g., natural disasters).
You may stop using the Service anytime.
We may suspend or terminate your access with or without cause. For paid users, we'll provide 14 days' notice unless due to illegal activity or urgent misuse (§ 314 BGB). Causes include:
Violating these Terms
Misusing the Service
Fraudulent or illegal acts
Non-payment
Your access ends immediately upon termination. Surviving provisions include ownership, disclaimers, and liability limits.
We may update these Terms, notifying you of material changes via email or website notice at least 14 days in advance (unless law or urgency requires otherwise). Continued use after notification means acceptance (§ 305b BGB).
These Terms are governed by German law, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG). Disputes will be resolved in the courts of Munich, Germany, unless consumer law requires otherwise (§ 29 ZPO).
EU consumers may use the EU ODR platform. We're not obligated to participate in alternative dispute resolution but may opt for it.
These Terms are the full agreement between you and AliveCheck, superseding prior agreements.
If a provision is unenforceable, it'll be adjusted minimally, keeping the rest effective (§ 306 BGB).
Not enforcing a right isn't a waiver.
You need our consent to assign these Terms. We may assign without yours.
