IPwbs License Agreement

This IPwbs License Agreement was last updated on January 12, 2022.

Changes

Below is a summary of changes made since the previous version:

IPwbs and its affiliates (“IPwbs,” “we,” or “our”) own and maintain a multi-IP address proxy infrastructure solution that provides users with multiple IP addresses to connect to the internet or access our data collection and proxy management solutions (collectively forming part of the “System”). The System is intended for research, personal, and commercial use, and only for lawful and legitimate purposes as defined in this License Agreement and any applicable laws. This License Agreement (this “Agreement”) applies to all versions of the System, and any separate functions and their derivative functions. As a user, by clicking “Register” and registering for our System or using the System in any other way (e.g., through a free trial), you acknowledge that you have read this Agreement, entered into a legally binding agreement with IPwbs, and agree to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and any supplementary support service agreements (if applicable, please refer to that agreement separately). The new version of this Agreement can be found on the IPwbs website (https://ipwbs.com/static-residential-proxy). By using the System, you agree to be unconditionally and unrestrictedly bound by the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement. If you do not agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement, you must not use or must immediately stop using the System, or you must uninstall any software provided as part of the System. Unless explicitly stated otherwise, any new features or functions that supplement or enhance the System are subject to this Agreement. If you use the System on behalf of an organization, you agree to this Agreement on behalf of that organization and acknowledge that you have the authority to act on behalf of that organization and commit to this Agreement on its behalf.

Grant of Limited License

Subject to your agreement and continued compliance with this Agreement, IPwbs grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, and revocable limited license to access and use the System for personal, research, and legitimate business purposes within the duration of your subscribed IPwbs System package. Your subscribed IPwbs System package may set the duration and technical limitations for using the System. You must purchase one of the IPwbs System subscription packages to use the System and be granted a limited license. As a condition of using or accessing the System, you should choose a valid payment method. The selected IPwbs System subscription package will be evaluated for payment based on that payment method. Subscription prices for IPwbs System packages do not include any applicable taxes, levies, and duties (e.g., VAT, withholding tax, customs duties), which you are solely responsible for. You agree to always comply with all laws and regulations when using the System. IPwbs reserves the right to discontinue or support the System or parts of the System or any feature components of the System at any time. In this case, your license to use the System or parts of the System will automatically be suspended. In such cases, IPwbs is not obligated to provide refunds, benefits, or other compensation to System users. If you do not use the new version of the System, the System may not operate adequately. If IPwbs requests or informs you that System users can only use the new version of the System, you agree to stop using the older version of the System. You may only use the System in compliance with this Agreement and applicable laws. Individuals under 18 years old must not use the System. IPwbs does not knowingly allow individuals under 18 years old to use the System, nor does it collect and process any personal data of such individuals. Based on the above provisions, we assume that any person using the System is at least 18 years old. If we find users under 18 or who provide incorrect data, IPwbs will immediately suspend, delete, or withdraw that user’s account and all its data without prior notice. We may unilaterally impose and enforce restrictions on System use, especially when complying with acceptable use requirements of the System, without any notice or warning (refer to the “Prohibited Activities” section below). We reserve the right to unilaterally refuse access to the System, suspend your use, or restrict your access to the System for any reason or no reason at all.

You may choose to purchase IPwbs recharge points (“Points”) to pay for services in the dashboard. One (1) Point will cost you one (1) USD plus any other applicable taxes, levies, and duties (e.g., VAT, withholding tax, customs duties) you owe. You can exchange Points for specified services in the dashboard, each Point valued at one (1) USD. Unused Points within twelve (12) months will expire, and no refunds will be given after Points expire. If, at any time, your IPwbs does not have enough Points to pay for your current plan, IPwbs may cancel your plan without prior notice. Refunds (if any) for services paid with Points will also be refunded in Points to your IPwbs account. Except for reasons stated in this Agreement, Points will not be refunded for any reason.

Personal Information (Account and Payment)

To use the System, you need to provide IPwbs with your account information (valid email address, username, and password) and payment information. You are fully responsible for the validity, completeness, and accuracy of this information. You guarantee that the information you provide to us is true, correct, and complete, and that you have the right to provide such information. You authorize us to verify your information at any time at our discretion. Please note that our order process will be handled by our online reseller Paddle.com. Paddle.com is the merchant of record for all our orders. Paddle provides customer service inquiries and handles returns.

Accessing Data, Content, and Resources Through the System (Third-Party Content)

The System allows you to access third-party data, content, and resources as if you were accessing them through the IP addresses provided by the System. Any content you access through the System with its assistance is referred to as “Third-Party Content.” IPwbs respects others’ intellectual property rights, privacy, and security, and requires our users to do the same. When accessing any Third-Party Content with the assistance of the System, please seek consent, rights, information, and restrictions that may apply to the content described by the property, persons, and entities. Note that recording, copying, using, distributing, or displaying the content without the written permission of the rights holder and affected parties is not allowed. You are fully responsible for accessing, using, recording, storing, and retaining any Third-Party Content with the System’s assistance and will not violate any applicable restrictions imposed by the property, persons, and entities giving such consent, whether or not such restrictions are published. As a condition of using the System, you agree not to use the System to infringe any applicable laws or third-party rights, including privacy rights and intellectual property rights, nor to engage in any prohibited activities (see below). If you engage in any prohibited activities, or otherwise violate this Agreement, or infringe on the legal rights of any third party, you may be subject to civil, administrative, and criminal penalties, including but not limited to monetary damages. We reserve the right to suspend any user’s use and access to the System at any time for any infringement of third-party rights or applicable laws, whether or not notice is given.

Referral Program

We offer System users the opportunity to refer IPwbs services to their friends and use additional proxy traffic (“Additional Traffic”) for free. To qualify as an eligible user (“Eligible User”), you must meet the following conditions:
(i) be an active user of the System;
(ii) have subscribed to one of our residential proxy plans for at least thirty-two (32) days;
(iii) not have paid for your System usage with Bitcoin or any other type of cryptocurrency;
(iv) use the System in accordance with this Agreement. Eligible Users will receive a referral link in their System user profile. This link can be shared with up to 3 (three) people who are not yet System users (“New Users”). If you are an Eligible User and have not received a referral link, please contact our Help and Support Center. If New Users successfully register for the System through the referral link shared by the Eligible User, both users will receive Additional Traffic equivalent to 10% of the New User’s subscribed residential proxy plan traffic (GB).
Note for Eligible Users and New Users:
(i) Additional Traffic can only be used after you have used at least 80% of the traffic in your purchased residential proxy plan;
(ii) You are only eligible to use Additional Traffic during the specific residential proxy plan subscription period. If your subscription is canceled or expires, the Additional Traffic will expire permanently;
(iii) In one continuous month, users can earn a maximum amount of Additional Traffic equal to their current subscription plan;
(iv) If you are a New User registering for the System using a referral link, you will not be able to use other discounts on your first subscription to IPwbs services. All participants in the Referral Program must comply with this Agreement and avoid unfair practices, including (but not limited to) creating fake accounts, sending spam, or harassing potential referral sources. IPwbs reserves the right to suspend any user’s participation in the Referral Program or cancel any Additional Traffic at any time.

You bear all risks associated with using the System and are solely responsible for taking all necessary legal, security, and protective measures when using the System. In no event will IPwbs, its affiliates, and agents, or their respective officers, directors, managers, partners, shareholders, members, employees, agents, and contractors be liable for any incidental, indirect, consequential, special, punitive, or exemplary damages or losses, including but not limited to losses or damages resulting from the loss of use, data, failure of security mechanisms, business interruption, or loss of profits, regardless of whether caused or arising from the System, Software, Third-Party Content, third parties, this Agreement, or other causes (including but not limited to damages caused by negligence), even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

IPwbs may, at its discretion, suspend your access to the System without prior notice.

Either party may terminate this Agreement at any time by providing the other party with written notice and specifying a reasonable termination date. If either party terminates this Agreement by written notice, IPwbs will not be liable to users for any refunds or other compensation. IPwbs may unilaterally terminate this Agreement immediately for any use of the System in any unacceptable manner (see the “Prohibited Activities” section above), infringing on any third party rights or applicable laws, violating any provision of this Agreement, or putting IPwbs at risk under any applicable laws or regulations. Upon termination of this Agreement, the licenses granted under this Agreement will automatically terminate, and you must immediately stop using and accessing the System or uninstall any software provided as part of the System.

Government Users

The System, its proprietary features, functions, interfaces, and source code, and the Software were developed entirely at private expense. The System is a commercial product. If the user or licensee of the System is a government agency, department, or other entity, the user or licensee must sign a separate written agreement with us in advance. Any unauthorized or other uses are prohibited.

Dispute Resolution

All disputes and claims must be resolved through negotiation. If the dispute or claim cannot be resolved through negotiation within thirty (30) days, it will be finally resolved through the judicial procedures of the competent court.

The parties acknowledge that they do not rely on any representations made but not explicitly included in this Agreement.
