Terms of Service
The rules and guidelines for using ScamGuard.
1. Acceptance of Terms
By accessing or using ScamGuard ("the Service"), a product of WebyStudio, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, do not use the Service. These terms apply to all visitors, users, and others who access the Service.
2. Description of Service
ScamGuard provides AI-powered URL analysis and scam detection. The Service includes:
• Real-time URL scanning and risk assessment
• Message, QR, and banking-risk checks
• Threat intelligence feeds where enabled
• API access for programmatic integration where enabled

ScamGuard provides informational assessments only — we do not guarantee that any URL is safe or malicious. Always exercise independent judgment.
