Agreement to terms

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) are a binding agreement between you and Straja (“Straja,” “we,” “our,” or “us”), the operator of the Straja website, browser extension, mobile apps, and related services (together, the “Service”). By creating an account, installing the extension, or otherwise using the Service, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service.

If you use the Service on behalf of an organisation, you confirm that you are authorised to accept these Terms for that organisation.

The service

Straja helps you assess whether a website, link, or email is likely to be a scam, phishing attempt, or otherwise malicious. Depending on how you use it, the Service may let you:

Scan a domain or URL and view an automated risk assessment and report.

Use the browser extension, which reads only the URL of the tab you choose to check.

Check your email address against third-party databases of publicly disclosed data breaches.

Report scams to, and view alerts from, our community scam database.

Keep an optional history of your scans and threats on a dashboard.

We may add, change, or remove features over time. We may also impose usage limits to keep the Service reliable and available to everyone.

Accounts & eligibility

You can use parts of the Service anonymously, but some features require an account.

You must be at least 16 years old, or the age of digital consent in your country, to create an account.

You are responsible for the accuracy of the information you provide and for keeping your credentials confidential.

You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account. Tell us promptly if you suspect unauthorised access.

You may sign in with email, a one-time login link, or a connected Google account; you are bound by the terms of those providers as well.

You may close your account at any time from Settings; doing so deletes your account data as described in our Privacy Policy.

Acceptable use

Straja is a security tool. To keep it safe and dependable, you agree not to:

Use the service to break the law, infringe others’ rights, or harm, harass, or defraud anyone.

Submit domains, emails, or content that you have no lawful right to submit, or that contain another person’s data in violation of their rights.

Probe, scan, overload, scrape, or rate-abuse the service or its APIs beyond the limits we set, or attempt to bypass authentication, quotas, or security controls.

Reverse-engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract the underlying models, datasets, or source code, except where that restriction is prohibited by law.

Use the service to build or train a competing product, or to resell our results, without our written permission.

Upload malware, run a denial-of-service attack, or interfere with the integrity or availability of the service.

Misrepresent the service’s output, for example, presenting a Straja result as a definitive legal or safety guarantee to third parties.

We may investigate suspected violations and may suspend or terminate access where we reasonably believe these rules have been broken.

Scam reports & user submissions

When you report a scam or otherwise submit content (a domain, a description, a screenshot, feedback), the following applies:

You confirm that your submission is accurate to the best of your knowledge, that you have the right to share it, and that it is not defamatory, unlawful, or a deliberate false report.

You grant Straja a worldwide, royalty-free licence to host, store, analyse, reproduce, and display your submission for the purpose of operating, improving, and securing the Service and its community scam database.

We may review, moderate, edit, aggregate, or remove submissions, and we may decline to publish or act on a report. We do not guarantee that any report will be published or investigated.

Reports and alerts are community-sourced and provided for awareness only; a domain appearing (or not appearing) in the database is not a legal finding about any person or business.

Subscriptions, billing & cancellation

Straja offers a free tier and a paid subscription. Paid plans are billed in advance through our payment processor, Stripe; we do not store your full card details.

Subscriptions renew automatically for the same period until you cancel. You can cancel anytime from your billing settings; cancellation stops the next renewal and you keep paid access until the end of the current period.

Prices may change. We will give you reasonable notice before a change affects you, and a change never applies to a period you have already paid for.

If you are an EU/EEA consumer, you have a statutory 14-day right of withdrawal for digital services. By starting a paid subscription you ask us to begin immediately and acknowledge that you lose the withdrawal right once the service has been fully performed; otherwise we refund the unused portion.

You are responsible for any taxes that apply to your purchase where they are not collected by us.

Security disclaimer & no warranty

Please read this section carefully, it describes the limits of what an automated security service can promise.

Straja analyses domains, links, and emails using automated heuristics, third-party threat feeds, and machine-learning models. No automated detector is perfect: it can miss a malicious site (a false negative) or flag a legitimate one (a false positive).

A “safe” result is not a guarantee that a site, link, or email is harmless, and a warning is not a definitive accusation. Always use your own judgement before entering credentials, making payments, or trusting a message.

Breach-monitoring results depend on third-party databases of publicly disclosed incidents and may be incomplete or delayed. The absence of a result does not mean your data is safe.

The service is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, or non-infringement, to the fullest extent permitted by law.

Straja is a security aid, not a substitute for professional security, legal, or financial advice, nor for your own anti-virus, spam filtering, and good account hygiene.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Straja and its team will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of data, profits, revenue, or goodwill, arising from your use of (or inability to use) the Service, including any loss resulting from a scam, phishing site, or breach that the Service did not detect or flagged incorrectly.

Where liability cannot be excluded, our total aggregate liability to you is limited to the greater of the amount you paid us for the Service in the 12 months before the claim, or EUR 100. Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law, including your statutory rights as a consumer, or liability for death, personal injury, fraud, or gross negligence.

Intellectual property

The Service, including its software, models, design, brand, and the “Straja” name and logo, is owned by Straja and protected by intellectual-property laws. We grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to use the Service in accordance with these Terms. You keep ownership of the content you submit, subject to the licence you grant us in “Scam reports & user submissions” above.

Suspension & termination

You may stop using the Service and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access if you breach these Terms, if required by law, or to protect the Service and its users. Where it is reasonable to do so, we will give you notice. On termination, your licence to use the Service ends; provisions that by their nature should survive (such as the disclaimer, liability limits, and governing law) continue to apply.

Governing law & disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of Romania and applicable European Union law. Disputes will be subject to the competent courts of Romania, unless mandatory consumer-protection rules in your country of residence give you the right to bring proceedings elsewhere.

If you are an EU consumer, you can also raise disputes through the European Commission’s Online Dispute Resolution platform at ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr.

Changes to these terms

We may update these Terms as the Service evolves or the law changes. If a change is material, we will give you reasonable notice, for example, by email or an in-product notice, before it takes effect. Your continued use of the Service after a change means you accept the updated Terms.
