Terms of Service

These terms govern your use of BClear at bclear.app. By using the service you agree to them. If you don’t agree, please don’t use it.

Who we are

BClear is operated by Tyson Monteiro, a sole trader established in South Africa. You can contact us at taysongermano@gmail.com.

What the service does

BClear analyses a public web page you nominate and returns a score out of 100 across speed, SEO, and conversion readiness, along with a list of suggested fixes. Optionally, we email you a fuller PDF report.

If you sign in and connect Google Search Console, BClear also reads your search performance data and turns it into analytics, content plans, keyword ideas, and checklists. Connecting Search Console is optional and can be revoked at any time.

The service is provided free of charge. We may change, limit, or discontinue it at any time without notice.

Your account

Accounts are created by signing in with Google. You are responsible for keeping access to your Google account secure, and for activity that happens under your BClear account. Tell us promptly if you believe someone else has gained access to it.

You may close your account at any time by contacting us. We may suspend or close an account that breaches these terms.

Your Search Console data

When you connect Search Console you grant us access to your search performance data so we can provide the features described above, and permission to manage the sitemaps registered for your properties — which we only ever use when you explicitly submit or remove a sitemap. You confirm you are authorised to grant that access for the properties you connect.

Your data stays yours. We use it only to provide the service to you — we do not sell it, use it for advertising, or use it to train generative AI or machine learning models. You can revoke access at any time from your Google account permissions page. See the Privacy Policy for the detail.

The score is guidance, not advice

This matters, so we’ll be direct about it. Scores and recommendations are generated automatically, partly from third-party data including Google PageSpeed Insights. They are heuristics. They may be incomplete, out of date, or simply wrong for your situation.

Nothing BClear produces is professional, legal, financial, or technical advice, and no outcome is promised. We do not guarantee that acting on a recommendation will improve your search rankings, traffic, conversion rate, or revenue. Search engines rank sites using criteria we do not control and cannot fully observe. Use your own judgement, and consult a qualified professional before making decisions that carry real cost or risk.

Using the service responsibly

You agree that you will:

• Only submit URLs for sites you own or are authorised to test. Scanning someone else’s site without permission may be unlawful in your jurisdiction, and it is your responsibility, not ours.
• Only submit public pages, not URLs containing passwords, tokens, or personal data.
• Not attempt to bypass the rate limits, scrape the service, or use automated means to submit requests at volume.
• Not use the service to overload, attack, or disrupt any third-party website, or for any unlawful purpose.
• Provide an email address you own when requesting a report.

We apply rate limits of 3 scans per hour, 6 per day, and 15 per month per IP address. We may suspend access if we believe you are misusing the service.

Emails

If you request a report, we send it to the address you give us and may send you related updates about BClear. Every email includes an unsubscribe link, and you can opt out at any time. See the Privacy Policy for details.

Intellectual property

The BClear name, the site, and the software behind it belong to us. The report we generate for you is yours to use for your own business purposes, including sharing it with clients or colleagues. You may not resell BClear reports as a standalone product or present the service as your own.

You keep all rights in your own website. Submitting a URL grants us only the permission needed to fetch and analyse that page and produce your report.

Third-party services

BClear depends on third parties including Google PageSpeed Insights, Vercel, Resend, Upstash, and Turso. Their availability is outside our control, and interruptions to their services may interrupt ours. Links to third-party sites are not endorsements.

Availability

The service is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that results will be accurate.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill, or business opportunity, arising out of your use of the service — including any decision you make on the basis of a score or recommendation.

Because the service is provided free of charge, our total aggregate liability to you for all claims relating to the service is limited to ZAR 2,000.

Nothing in these terms excludes or limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for any other liability that cannot lawfully be excluded. In particular, if you are a consumer protected by South Africa’s Consumer Protection Act, nothing here limits the rights that Act gives you, and no provision of these terms should be read as an unfair, unreasonable, or unjust term under section 48. The same applies to any other consumer protection law that applies to you and cannot be excluded by agreement.

Indemnity

If you use the service in breach of these terms — for example by scanning a site you had no permission to scan — you agree to indemnify us against claims, losses, and reasonable legal costs arising from that use.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms. The date at the top of this page shows the current version, and continuing to use the service after a change means you accept the updated terms.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of South Africa, and its courts have non-exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute.

If you are a consumer, this does not deprive you of the protection of the mandatory laws of your own country of residence, and you may bring proceedings there. In particular, consumers in South Africa keep every right given to them by the Consumer Protection Act and POPIA, including the right to complain to the Information Regulator or the National Consumer Commission.

General

If any provision of these terms is found unenforceable, the rest remain in force. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of it. These terms, together with the Privacy Policy, are the entire agreement between us regarding the service.
