Terms of Service

Last updated: March 14, 2026 (Schedule 1 added March 14, 2026)

1. Acceptance of Terms and Contract Formation

1.1 How the Contract is Formed

A binding contract between you and Browser7 Data Limited is formed at the moment you first authenticate with the Browser7 dashboard, whether by signing in via a third-party single sign-on (SSO) provider (such as Google or GitHub) or by clicking a magic link sent to your email address. At that point your account is created and a confirmation is sent to your email address. Prior to completing authentication, you are presented with a notice linking to these Terms of Service. By completing the authentication step you confirm that you have had the opportunity to read these terms and that you agree to be bound by them.

If you wish to correct any information entered during the sign-up process, you may close or navigate away from the authentication screen before completing it, at which point no account will be created and no contract will be formed.

Making requests to the Browser7 API — whether or not an account has been created — also constitutes acceptance of these Terms of Service. Your continued use of the service following any update to these terms constitutes ongoing acceptance of the updated terms.

1.2 Contract Language and Storage

The language of this contract is English. These Terms of Service are published in full at browser7.com/legal/terms and may be downloaded or printed for your records at any time. The current version of the terms you accepted is available in your account dashboard. We do not separately file or archive individually executed copies of this agreement; the publicly accessible version at the above URL constitutes the authoritative text.

1.3 Business Use Warranty

By creating an account or using the service, you represent and warrant that you are purchasing and using Browser7 for business or professional purposes and not as a consumer. You acknowledge that consumer protection legislation, including but not limited to the Consumer Rights Act 2022 and the Consumer Protection Act 2007 of Ireland, does not apply to this contract.

1.4 No Right of Withdrawal

As this service is a digital service which commences immediately upon account creation and issuance of your API key, and as you are purchasing for business purposes, no statutory right of withdrawal or cooling-off period applies to this contract. To the extent that any right of withdrawal could be argued to apply, you expressly request and consent to the immediate commencement of the service and acknowledge that this excludes any such right under Article 16(m) of Directive 2011/83/EU or equivalent provisions.

2. Description of Service

Browser7 provides web scraping services including JavaScript rendering, residential proxy access, and CAPTCHA solving. We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue the service at any time.

3. Acceptable Use

You agree to use Browser7's services only for lawful purposes. You agree not to:

  • Violate any applicable laws or regulations
  • Infringe on intellectual property rights
  • Scrape websites that explicitly prohibit scraping in their terms of service
  • Attempt to gain unauthorized access to our systems or other users' accounts
  • Use the service to send spam or malicious content
  • Resell or redistribute our services without authorization

3.1 robots.txt Compliance

You are solely responsible for checking and complying with the robots.txt file of any website you instruct Browser7 to render before submitting rendering requests. The robots.txt standard is a widely recognised protocol by which website operators communicate which parts of their site may or may not be accessed by automated agents. You agree not to use Browser7 to render any URL or path that is disallowed for automated access by the target site's robots.txt file. Browser7 does not automatically enforce or parse robots.txt files on your behalf, and the absence of such enforcement does not constitute permission or encouragement to disregard them.

3.2 Target Site Terms of Service

You are solely responsible for reviewing and complying with the terms of service, terms of use, copyright notices, and any other applicable policies of any website or online service you instruct Browser7 to render. Many websites explicitly prohibit automated access or data extraction in their terms of service. By using Browser7, you warrant that you have reviewed the relevant policies of each target site and that your use is permitted under those policies. Browser7 does not grant you any right to access or scrape any website and makes no representation that your intended use of any particular website is lawful or permitted.

3.3 User Responsibility for Data Obtained via Rendering

You are solely and entirely responsible for all data you obtain through Browser7's rendering service, including but not limited to:

  • The legality of collecting, storing, processing, or publishing such data
  • Compliance with applicable data protection and privacy laws, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and any other regulations applicable in your jurisdiction, in respect of any personal data contained in render responses
  • Compliance with copyright, database rights, and intellectual property laws in respect of any content obtained via rendering
  • Any harm caused to third parties as a result of your scraping activity

Browser7 operates as a neutral technical infrastructure provider. We provide the means to render web pages and return the rendered content to you; we do not direct, control, or take any responsibility for which pages you choose to render or how you use the render responses obtained. The mere provision of our rendering service does not make Browser7 a joint controller, co-author, or co-infringer in respect of any content you access or collect.

3.4 Fair Use and Resource Consumption

Browser7 is a shared-infrastructure service. You agree not to use the service in a manner that places an unreasonable or disproportionate burden on our infrastructure or degrades the service experience for other users. Without limitation, repeatedly rendering web pages where the total page download size consistently exceeds 10 MB per render is considered abusive use of the service.

We reserve the right to throttle, restrict, or suspend any account that we reasonably determine to be engaging in such usage, without prior notice where immediate action is necessary to protect the integrity of the service. Where practical, we will contact you before taking such action to discuss your use case, as high-volume or large-payload requirements may be accommodated under a custom arrangement.

3.5 Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Browser7, its directors, officers, employees, agents, and affiliates from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or in connection with: (a) your use of the service; (b) any data you obtain, collect, store, or process using the rendering service; (c) your violation of these Terms of Service; (d) your violation of any third-party rights, including intellectual property rights, privacy rights, or contractual rights; or (e) your failure to comply with the robots.txt file or terms of service of any target website. This indemnification obligation will survive termination of your account and these Terms of Service.

4. Account Registration

You must provide accurate and complete information when creating an account. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account credentials and for all activities under your account.

You must be at least 18 years of age and have full legal capacity to enter into binding contracts on behalf of yourself or the business entity you represent. If you are accepting these terms on behalf of a company or other legal entity, you represent that you have the authority to bind that entity.

5. Pricing, Payments and Account Credit

5.1 Prepaid Credit Model

Browser7 operates on a prepaid credit basis. There are no recurring subscriptions. You purchase credit in advance, which is added to your account balance and consumed as you make API requests. You are only charged for what you use. Payments are processed securely through Stripe.

5.2 Currency and Exchange Rates

Your account balance is held and denominated in US Dollars (USD). Deposits may be made in USD, Canadian Dollars (CAD), British Pounds Sterling (GBP), or Euros (EUR). Where a deposit is made in a currency other than USD, it will be converted to USD at the exchange rate applied by our payment processor at the time of the transaction. Browser7 is not responsible for fluctuations in exchange rates between the time of deposit and the time of use.

5.3 Pricing Reviews

Bundle and credit package pricing is reviewed on a quarterly basis and may be adjusted at our discretion. Any pricing changes will apply to new purchases made after the effective date of the change and will not affect credit already deposited in your account balance.

5.4 Account Balance Expiry and Dormant Accounts

Your account balance does not expire under normal circumstances and carries over indefinitely. However, if your account has not been used to make any API requests for a continuous period of two (2) years, your account will be considered dormant. We reserve the right to close a dormant account upon giving you reasonable advance notice to the email address associated with your account. Upon closure of a dormant account, any remaining account balance will be permanently forfeited. Making at least one API request within any two-year period is sufficient to prevent your account from being classified as dormant.

5.5 Free and Bonus Credit

From time to time we may add complimentary or promotional credit to your account ("bonus credit"). Bonus credit has no cash value, is non-transferable, and cannot be refunded. When API requests are made, bonus credit is always deducted from your account balance before any paid credit. Bonus credit may be subject to additional conditions (such as an expiry date or eligible use restrictions), which will be communicated to you at the time the bonus credit is granted.

6. Refund Policy

All credit purchases are non-refundable. A free starting balance of USD $1.00 is credited to every new account at registration, providing a genuine opportunity to evaluate the service and make real API requests before making any purchase. By making a credit purchase you confirm that you have had a reasonable opportunity to test the service and are satisfied that it meets your requirements.

Exceptions may be made at our sole discretion in cases of a verified technical failure on our part that prevented reasonable use of the service. Any such request should be submitted to support@browser7.com with details of the issue experienced.

7. Data, Privacy and GDPR

7.1 Default Retention — Zero Storage

By default, Browser7 does not persistently store render responses. Responses are returned to you in real time and held in a temporary cache for up to one (1) hour solely to support immediate retry and delivery purposes. After that period the cached render response is automatically and permanently deleted. We do not log, analyse, or retain the content of your render responses beyond this window unless you have explicitly enabled Debug Mode as described below.

7.2 Debug Mode — Optional Extended Storage

You may enable "Debug Mode" at account level or on a per-request basis via your dashboard or the API. When Debug Mode is enabled, render responses are additionally stored for up to seven (7) days and made accessible via your dashboard for debugging purposes. By enabling Debug Mode you acknowledge that:

  • You are acting as data controller in respect of any personal data contained in stored render responses
  • You have a lawful basis under applicable data protection law for the storage and processing of any such personal data
  • Browser7 stores such render responses solely on your instruction and as data processor on your behalf

Debug Mode render responses are automatically and permanently deleted after seven (7) days. You may also delete individual render responses or your entire debug history at any time via your dashboard.

7.3 GDPR and Data Processing

Where your use of Browser7 involves the processing of personal data (as defined by the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679, "GDPR"), you are the data controller and Browser7 is the data processor. Our respective rights and obligations in that capacity are set out in Schedule 1 — Data Processing Addendum, which forms part of these Terms of Service and is incorporated herein by reference. By accepting these Terms of Service you also accept the terms of Schedule 1.

You are solely responsible for ensuring that your use of Browser7 to render pages containing personal data has a valid lawful basis under GDPR or any other applicable data protection legislation. Browser7 accepts no liability for your failure to comply with your obligations as data controller.

We collect and use your account and usage data as described in our Privacy Policy, available at browser7.com/legal/privacy.

8. Service Availability

While we strive for 99.9% uptime, we do not guarantee uninterrupted service. We are not liable for service interruptions, though we will make reasonable efforts to restore service promptly.

9. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, all conditions, warranties, and other terms implied by statute or common law — including but not limited to the implied terms of skill, care, and fitness for purpose under sections 39 and 40 of the Sale of Goods and Supply of Services Act 1980 — are expressly excluded from this agreement. Browser7 is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind, express or implied.

We are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising from your use of the service, including but not limited to loss of profits, loss of data, or business interruption. Our total aggregate liability to you under or in connection with this agreement is limited to the total amount of credit deposited in your account in the twelve (12) months preceding the event giving rise to the claim.

Without limiting the foregoing, Browser7 expressly disclaims all liability arising from or related to your use of render responses, including but not limited to: any claim by a third party that your rendering or scraping activity was unauthorised, unlawful, or in breach of their terms of service; any claim arising from personal data contained in render responses; any claim for copyright infringement, database right infringement, or misappropriation of content; and any regulatory action or fine resulting from your use of data obtained via the rendering service. You acknowledge that Browser7 has no visibility into, and exercises no control over, the pages you choose to render using our service, and that all risk associated with such rendering rests entirely with you.

10. Termination

We may terminate or suspend your account at any time for violation of these terms. You may cancel your account at any time through the dashboard. Upon termination, your right to use the service ceases immediately.

11. Changes to Terms

We may update these terms from time to time. We will notify users of significant changes via email. Continued use of the service after changes constitutes acceptance of the new terms.

12. Force Majeure

Browser7 shall not be liable for any failure or delay in performing its obligations under these Terms of Service where such failure or delay results from causes beyond our reasonable control, including but not limited to acts of God, fire, flood, earthquake, pandemic, war, terrorism, civil unrest, government action, industrial dispute, failure of third-party infrastructure (including internet service providers, cloud hosting providers, or payment processors), or power outages. In such circumstances our obligations will be suspended for the duration of the event.

13. Entire Agreement

These Terms of Service, together with our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and Browser7 Data Limited with respect to the service and supersede all prior agreements, representations, warranties, and understandings, whether written or oral, relating to the subject matter hereof. No statement, representation, or promise made by any employee, agent, or representative of Browser7 outside of these Terms of Service shall be binding unless expressly incorporated herein in writing.

14. Severability

If any provision of these Terms of Service is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, unlawful, or unenforceable, that provision shall be severed from the remaining terms, which shall continue in full force and effect. The invalid or unenforceable provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable, preserving as closely as possible the original intent of the parties.

15. Assignment

You may not assign, transfer, or sub-licence any of your rights or obligations under these Terms of Service without our prior written consent. Any purported assignment without such consent shall be null and void. Browser7 Data Limited may assign or transfer its rights and obligations under these terms to any affiliate, successor, or acquirer of all or substantially all of its business or assets, without your consent, provided that the assignee assumes all obligations under these terms.

16. Governing Law

These Terms of Service are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Ireland. Any disputes arising under or in connection with these terms shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Ireland.

Schedule 1 — Data Processing Addendum

Incorporated into and forming part of the Browser7 Terms of Service. Effective from the date of acceptance of the Terms of Service.

S1.1 Application and Purpose

This Data Processing Addendum ("DPA") applies where, in the course of using the Browser7 rendering service, you (the "Controller") instruct Browser7 Data Limited (the "Processor") to render web pages that contain or may contain personal data as defined by the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 ("GDPR") and, where applicable, the Data Protection Act 2018 of Ireland. This DPA sets out the obligations of each party in respect of such processing in accordance with Article 28 GDPR, and is automatically incorporated into the Terms of Service upon acceptance.

S1.2 Details of Processing

Subject matter: The rendering of web pages submitted by the Controller via the Browser7 API, and the temporary storage of render responses where Debug Mode is enabled by the Controller.

Duration: For the duration of the Controller's use of the service. Render responses are retained for up to one (1) hour by default, or up to seven (7) days where Debug Mode is enabled, after which they are permanently deleted.

Nature of processing: Automated rendering of web pages; temporary caching of render responses; delivery of render responses to the Controller.

Purpose: To provide the Browser7 web rendering service as instructed by the Controller.

Types of personal data: Any personal data that may be contained in the web pages rendered at the Controller's instruction. The Processor has no advance knowledge of the categories of personal data that may be present.

Categories of data subjects: Any individuals whose personal data appears on web pages rendered at the Controller's instruction.

S1.3 Controller's Obligations

The Controller warrants and represents that:

  • It has a valid lawful basis under Article 6 GDPR (and, where applicable, Article 9 GDPR for special category data) for any personal data processing that results from its use of the rendering service
  • Its instructions to the Processor comply with all applicable data protection legislation
  • It has provided all necessary notices to, and obtained all necessary consents from, data subjects as required by applicable law
  • It will not instruct the Processor to render pages in a manner that would cause the Processor to violate applicable data protection legislation
  • It is solely responsible for its own compliance obligations as data controller, including maintaining records of processing activities under Article 30 GDPR

S1.4 Processor's Obligations

S1.4.1 Processing on Instructions Only

The Processor shall process personal data only on the documented instructions of the Controller (i.e. rendering requests submitted via the API or dashboard) and for no other purpose, unless required to do so by EU or Irish law, in which case the Processor shall inform the Controller of that legal requirement before processing, unless prohibited from doing so by law.

S1.4.2 Confidentiality

The Processor shall ensure that all personnel authorised to process personal data under this DPA are subject to binding confidentiality obligations and are only granted access to personal data on a need-to-know basis for the purpose of providing the rendering service.

S1.4.3 Security

The Processor shall implement and maintain appropriate technical and organisational security measures in accordance with Article 32 GDPR, having regard to the state of the art, the costs of implementation, and the nature, scope, context, and purposes of processing. These measures include, at minimum:

  • Encryption of personal data in transit (TLS) and at rest
  • Access controls and authentication requirements for personnel
  • Regular review of security measures
  • Procedures for testing and evaluating the effectiveness of security measures

S1.4.4 Sub-processors

The Controller grants the Processor general authorisation to engage sub-processors for the purpose of providing the rendering service. Current sub-processors include cloud infrastructure and hosting providers used to operate the rendering infrastructure. The Processor shall ensure that sub-processors are bound by data protection obligations no less protective than those set out in this DPA, and shall remain liable to the Controller for the acts and omissions of its sub-processors. The Processor shall notify the Controller of any intended changes to sub-processors by updating its sub-processor list at browser7.com/legal/sub-processors, giving the Controller reasonable opportunity to object.

S1.4.5 Assistance with Data Subject Rights

The Processor shall, taking into account the nature of the processing and insofar as reasonably possible, assist the Controller in fulfilling its obligations to respond to data subject requests under Chapter III GDPR (including rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability, and objection). Given that render responses are deleted within one (1) hour by default (or seven (7) days under Debug Mode), the Processor's practical ability to assist with data subject requests will in most cases be limited to confirming retention periods and deletion status.

S1.4.6 Breach Notification

The Processor shall notify the Controller without undue delay, and in any event within 48 hours, upon becoming aware of a personal data breach affecting render responses processed under this DPA. Such notification shall include, to the extent available: a description of the nature of the breach; the approximate number of data subjects and records affected; the likely consequences; and measures taken or proposed to address the breach. The Processor shall cooperate with the Controller and take reasonable steps to assist in the investigation, mitigation, and remediation of each such breach.

S1.4.7 Deletion of Personal Data

Render responses are automatically deleted in accordance with the retention periods set out in Section 7 of these Terms of Service (1 hour by default; 7 days where Debug Mode is enabled). Upon termination of the Controller's account, any remaining render responses stored under Debug Mode shall be permanently deleted within 30 days. The Controller may also delete individual render responses or their entire debug history at any time via the dashboard.

S1.4.8 Audit Rights

The Processor shall make available to the Controller all information reasonably necessary to demonstrate compliance with the obligations set out in this DPA, and shall permit and contribute to audits and inspections conducted by the Controller or a third-party auditor mandated by the Controller, subject to reasonable prior written notice (no less than 30 days), agreement on scope, and appropriate confidentiality obligations. The Processor may satisfy this obligation in the first instance by providing relevant certifications, security documentation, or attestations.

S1.5 International Transfers

The Processor's primary rendering infrastructure is located within the European Economic Area. Where processing occurs outside the EEA, the Processor shall ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place in accordance with Chapter V GDPR, including the use of Standard Contractual Clauses where required.

S1.6 Liability

Each party's liability under this DPA is subject to the limitations and exclusions set out in Section 9 of these Terms of Service. The Controller shall indemnify the Processor against any claims, fines, penalties, or damages arising from the Controller's failure to comply with its obligations as data controller under GDPR or any other applicable data protection legislation.

S1.7 Contact for Data Protection Matters
