Why First Terms of Service

These terms govern your use of the Why First browser extension and the Pro lifetime license.

The product

Why First is a browser extension that inserts a lightweight intent check-in before websites you choose. It is a self-help tool, not a medical, productivity, or security product. It does not guarantee any behavioral outcome.

Free version

The Free version is provided at no cost, with unlimited rules, intent check-ins, and local statistics. We may update or discontinue features with reasonable notice.

Pro lifetime license

• Pro is a one-time purchase that unlocks current and future Pro features on the browsers where you activate it.
• "Lifetime" means the lifetime of the product: as long as Why First is maintained, Pro features you paid for remain available to you without further payment.
• The license key is verified by our license service, which issues a signed credential the extension stores and verifies locally; the extension then works offline. While offline, that credential stays valid for a grace period — 60 days by default, configurable between 30 and 90 days. After the grace period expires, Pro features are suspended and the extension falls back to Free until the next successful check; your rules, statistics and reasons are not deleted. Keep your license key safe; it is your proof of purchase.
• Refunds are handled by our payment processor's policy during the applicable refund window.

Acceptable use

Do not misrepresent the extension, resell license keys, or use the product to violate any law or the terms of the browser stores that distribute it.

No warranty

The extension is provided "as is", without warranty of any kind. Because your browsing data and extension data are stored locally on your device, you are responsible for your own backups (Settings provides a JSON export). The only flows that leave your device are the Pro license requests — activation, background refresh and deactivation — and the cross-device sync you can optionally enable; all of them are described in the privacy policy.

Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect or consequential damages, including lost time, lost data stored locally by the extension, or lost profits.

Changes

We may update these terms. Material changes will be noted in the extension's changelog and on this page with a new "Last updated" date.
