TERMS and CONDITIONS AGREEMENT

AdsBlocks.com ("AdsBlocks") operates an informational and marketing website that advertises and refers users to independent third-party security and privacy services (the "Partner Services"). AdsBlocks itself does not operate a platform or membership program and does not provide or bill for any subscription services. These Terms and Conditions ("Terms" or "Agreement") constitute a legally binding agreement between you and the owner/operator of AdsBlocks.com ("Company", "we", "us" or "our"), concerning your access to and use of AdsBlocks.com as well as any other media form, media channel, mobile website, or mobile application related, linked, or otherwise connected thereto (collectively, the "Site"), including any advertising, informational content, or referral links to Partner Services.

This Site is intended for users who are at least eighteen (18) years of age or older. Persons under 18 are not permitted to use the Site. By accessing or using the Site, you represent that you are at least 18 years old and that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by all of these Terms and Conditions. If you do not agree with all of these Terms and Conditions, then you are expressly prohibited from using the Site and you must discontinue use immediately.

Supplemental terms and conditions or documents that may be posted on the Site from time to time are hereby expressly incorporated herein by reference. We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to make changes or modifications to these Terms and Conditions at any time and for any reason.

We will alert you about any changes by updating the "Last updated" date of these Terms and Conditions, and you waive any right to receive specific notice of each such change. It is your responsibility to periodically review these Terms and Conditions to stay informed of updates. You will be subject to, and will be deemed to have been made aware of and to have accepted, the changes in any revised Terms and Conditions by your continued use of the Site after the date such revised Terms and Conditions are posted.

For more information about how we may be compensated when you sign up with our partners, see the 'Affiliate Compensation and Partner Services' section below.

ABOUT ADSBLOCKS.COM AND OUR ROLE

AdsBlocks is a security-focused advertising and affiliate website. We buy media, place advertisements through third-party ad networks, and publish information about security and privacy offerings. AdsBlocks does not itself provide or operate any content service, membership program, or billing platform.

In some cases, the Site promotes or provides access to membership services that are offered and billed by independent third-party providers, including TotalAV.com ("TotalAV"). When you proceed from AdsBlocks to TotalAV.com or another partner site and complete a sign-up or purchase on that site, your contractual relationship for that membership and any related services is exclusively with the applicable third-party provider (for example, TotalAV). All pricing, access to content, account management, and billing for those memberships are governed solely by that provider's terms, conditions, and policies.

AdsBlocks may act as a marketing or affiliate partner and may receive compensation, commissions, or referral fees when users purchase memberships or access Partner Services through links or offers presented on the Site. Such compensation does not increase the price you pay for the membership or service and does not make AdsBlocks the provider, operator, or billing entity for any Partner Service.

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS

Unless otherwise indicated, the Site and all content on it (including any text, images, graphics, logos, and other marketing or informational materials) are our proprietary property and service marks, logos contained therein (the "Marks") are owned or controlled by us or licensed to us, and are protected by copyright and trademark laws and various other intellectual property rights and unfair competition laws of the United States, foreign jurisdictions, and international conventions.

The Content and the Marks are provided on the Site "AS IS" for your information and personal use only. Except as expressly provided in these Terms and Conditions, no part of the Site and no Content or Marks may be copied, reproduced, aggregated, republished, uploaded, posted, publicly displayed, encoded, translated, transmitted, distributed, sold, licensed, or otherwise exploited for any commercial purpose whatsoever, without our express prior written permission.

Provided that you are eligible to use the Site, you are granted a limited license to access and use the Site and to download or print a copy of any portion of the Content to which you have properly gained access solely for your personal, non-commercial use. We reserve all rights not expressly granted to you in and to the Site, the Content and the Marks.

USER REPRESENTATIONS

By using the Site, you represent and warrant that:

(1) all registration information you submit will be true, accurate, current, and complete; (2) you will maintain the accuracy of such information and promptly update such registration information as necessary; (3) you have the legal capacity and you agree to comply with these Terms and Conditions; (4) you will not access the Site through automated or non-human means, whether through a bot, script, or otherwise; (5) you will not use the Site for any illegal or unauthorized purpose; and (6) your use of the Site will not violate any applicable law or regulation.

If you provide any information that is untrue, inaccurate, not current, or incomplete, we have the right to suspend or terminate your account and refuse any and all current or future use of the Site (or any portion thereof).

USER REGISTRATION

You may be required to provide registration details (such as email and a password) on the Site in order for us to pass your information to a Partner Service and/or to manage your preferences relating to our marketing. Any actual member account for a Partner Service (for example, TotalAV) is created and managed on that provider's own website, under its terms.

SUBSCRIPTIONS; FREE TRIAL; AUTOMATIC RECURRING BILLING

From time to time the Site may display or describe promotional offers, free trials, or paid membership subscriptions (each, a "Subscription" or "Membership") for Partner Services such as TotalAV.com. Any such Subscription is provided, fulfilled, and billed exclusively by the applicable third-party provider (for example, TotalAV.com), not by AdsBlocks.

The specific price, duration, content, and features of any Subscription, as well as any promotional trial period (for example, a 30-day trial), are determined by the third-party provider and are disclosed on that provider's sign-up and/or checkout pages before you complete your order. The Site may summarize or restate those terms for convenience, but the provider's own website and checkout pages control in the event of any difference.

As of the "Last updated" date above, a typical TotalAV promotional offer may state that a membership begins with a short trial and then converts to an automatically renewing yearly Subscription (currently USD $19 for the first year) unless you cancel in accordance with TotalAV's terms. Any such example is provided for illustrative purposes only and may change at any time at the provider's discretion.

Automatic Recurring Billing by Third-Party Provider. By purchasing or signing up for a Subscription on TotalAV.com or another partner site, providing a payment method, and clicking a button or taking an action labeled "Continue", "Start Trial", "Start Membership", "Complete Purchase" or similar on that partner's sign-up or checkout pages, you authorize the applicable third-party provider (for example, TotalAV) and/or its authorized payment processor, and not AdsBlocks, to charge your credit card or other approved payment mechanism for any initial and recurring Subscription charges according to the billing terms displayed on the partner's website. Your payment method will be automatically charged on the schedule disclosed by that provider until you cancel in accordance with its terms.

CANCELLATION AND REFUNDS

Subscriptions for Partner Services such as TotalAV.com are created, managed, and billed by the applicable third-party provider, not by AdsBlocks. You must follow that provider's cancellation and refund procedures to stop future billing and, where applicable, request a refund.

As of the "Last updated" date above, TotalAV allows members to cancel by contacting their customer service here, or by using any self-service cancellation options made available on its website. The specific cancellation and refund terms applicable to your Subscription will be stated on the TotalAV.com checkout page and/or in its terms and conditions and may change from time to time at TotalAV's discretion.

AdsBlocks is not the merchant of record and does not process subscription payments or issue refunds directly. However, you may contact us using the details in the "Contact Us" section below, and we will use reasonable efforts to help you identify the correct third-party provider and direct your request to it. Any decision to provide a refund, credit, or other adjustment remains solely with the applicable third-party provider.

AFFILIATE COMPENSATION AND PARTNER SERVICES (INCLUDING TOTALAV.COM)

AdsBlocks does not sell or operate the Partner Services. Instead, we promote and provide links to membership services, subscription offers, or other products offered by independent third-party providers, including TotalAV.com. When you click from AdsBlocks to TotalAV.com or another partner site and create an account or purchase a membership there, your contract for that membership is with the applicable third-party provider (for example, TotalAV.com), and not with AdsBlocks.

We may receive compensation, commissions, or referral fees when users purchase memberships or access Partner Services through this Site or through links provided on the Site. Such compensation does not increase the price you pay for the membership or service and does not change the terms or conditions of any membership or purchase between you and the applicable third party.

You remain responsible for reviewing and agreeing to the terms, conditions, and privacy policies of any partner or third-party provider (including TotalAV.com) on whose site you complete checkout or enter your payment information. AdsBlocks is not a party to, and has no responsibility for, those separate agreements.

YOUR ACKNOWLEDGMENT

By clicking from the Site to TotalAV.com or another partner site, submitting your payment information there, or clicking a button labeled "Continue", "Start Trial", "Start Membership", "Complete Purchase" or similar on a third-party sign-up or checkout page, you acknowledge and agree that:

(1) you are entering into a separate agreement directly with the applicable third-party provider (for example, TotalAV) for the membership or services described on that provider's pages; (2) AdsBlocks is not a party to that membership agreement and is not the merchant of record, billing entity, or service operator; (3) you have read and understood the trial, Subscription, and automatic renewal terms, including the recurring price and billing frequency, as displayed by the third-party provider during sign-up; (4) you authorize the third-party provider and/or its payment processor, and not AdsBlocks, to charge your payment method until you cancel in accordance with its terms; and (5) AdsBlocks may receive compensation in connection with your membership or related partner offers, as described in the "Affiliate Compensation and Partner Services" section above.

ADVERTISING, MEDIA BUYING AND AUTOMATED AD PLACEMENTS

AdsBlocks acquires advertising inventory and placements through third-party advertising networks (such as Google Ads) that use automated systems to determine where and how ads are displayed. As a result, our ads may appear on a wide variety of websites, apps, and pages that we do not own or control. We do not review or endorse each specific page where an ad may appear, and the appearance of an ad near any third-party brand, logo, or content does not mean that AdsBlocks is affiliated with, sponsored by, or otherwise associated with that brand unless expressly stated.

We periodically update our placement and keyword exclusions to avoid displaying ads alongside content that could create confusion or imply unauthorized associations with third-party brands. If you believe an ad for AdsBlocks has appeared in a confusing or inappropriate context, please contact us using the details in the "Contact Us" section so that we can investigate and, where appropriate, adjust our advertising settings. The appearance of our advertisements on pages that reference or display third-party brands (such as app stores, review pages, or unofficial brand-related pages) does not mean that AdsBlocks is affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by those brands.

Such Third-Party Websites and Third-Party Resources are not investigated, monitored, or checked for accuracy, appropriateness, or completeness by us, and we are not responsible for any Third-Party Websites accessed through the Site or any Third-Party Resources posted on, available through, or installed from the Site, including the content, accuracy, offensiveness, opinions, reliability, privacy practices, or other policies of or contained in the Third-Party Websites or the Third-Party Resources. Inclusion of, linking to, or permitting the use or installation of any Third-Party Websites or any Third-Party Resources does not imply approval or endorsement thereof by us.

If you decide to leave the Site and access Third-Party Websites or to use or install any Third-Party Resources, you do so at your own risk, and you should be aware these Terms and Conditions no longer govern. You should review the applicable terms and policies, including privacy and data gathering practices, of any website to which you navigate from the Site or relating to any applications you use or install from the Site. Any purchases you make through Third-Party Websites will be through other websites and from other companies, and we take no responsibility whatsoever in relation to such purchases which are exclusively between you and the applicable third party.

You agree and acknowledge that we do not endorse the products or services offered on Third-Party Websites and you shall hold us harmless from any harm caused by your purchase of such products or services. Additionally, you shall hold us harmless from any losses sustained by you or harm caused to you relating to or resulting in any way from any Third-Party Resources or any contact with Third-Party Websites.

DISPUTE RESOLUTION

Informal Negotiations

To expedite resolution and control the cost of any dispute, controversy, or claim related to these Terms and Conditions (each a "Dispute" and collectively, the "Disputes") brought by either you or us (individually, a "Party" and collectively, the "Parties"), the Parties agree to first attempt to negotiate any Dispute (except those Disputes expressly provided below) informally for at least ninety (90) days before initiating arbitration. Such informal negotiations commence upon written notice from one Party to the other Party. At the request of either Party, the informal negotiations can be brought before a professional mediator to assist in the process. If the Parties cannot agree on a mediator, either Party may petition a court of competent jurisdiction to identify or appoint a mediator. Mediation can be conducted by phone, Zoom, or other agreed upon method. Either Party has one (1) year from the date the Dispute arose to invoke this provision. Disputes older than one (1) year are deemed waived by the aggrieved Party.

Binding Arbitration

If the Parties are unable to resolve a Dispute through informal negotiations or mediation, the Dispute (except those Disputes expressly excluded below) will be finally and exclusively resolved by binding arbitration. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT WITHOUT THIS PROVISION, YOU WOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A JURY TRIAL. The arbitration shall be commenced and conducted under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") and, where appropriate, the AAA's Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes ("AAA Consumer Rules"), both of which are available at the AAA website www.adr.org.
