Disclaimer & Terms of Use

Please read this carefully before using the BotWatcher.ai audit engine.

Last updated: April 2026

Important

BotWatcher.ai is a diagnostic tool. It does not modify, control, or interact with any website's configuration. All audits are read-only HTTP requests. Use of this tool is at your own discretion.

1 · What This Tool Does

BotWatcher.ai is a website audit engine that performs read-only HTTP requests against publicly accessible URLs. It does not execute JavaScript on target sites, does not store personal data, does not modify any website configuration, and does not maintain persistent connections to any target.

Each audit consists of HTTP HEAD and GET requests sent from Cloudflare's edge network using standard bot and browser User-Agent strings. These are the same requests made by real crawlers every day. Results are cached for up to 5 minutes and then discarded.

2 · Acceptable Use

You may use BotWatcher.ai to audit:

You may not use BotWatcher.ai to:

3 · Accuracy & Limitations

Audit results are based on a single-point-in-time HTTP probe from Cloudflare's edge network. They reflect what a crawler would see at that moment from that location. Results may differ from:

BotWatcher.ai makes no guarantee that audit results are complete, accurate, or representative of a site's real-world search or AI crawler performance. Results should be treated as diagnostic signals, not definitive verdicts.

4 · No Warranty

This service is provided "as is" without warranty of any kind, express or implied. BotWatcher.ai does not warrant that the service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that results will meet any specific requirements.

The operator shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising from the use of or inability to use this service, including but not limited to lost revenue, lost data, or business interruption.

5 · Third-Party Sites

When you submit a URL for audit, BotWatcher.ai sends HTTP requests to that URL on your behalf. You are responsible for ensuring that auditing that URL complies with the target site's terms of service and applicable law.

BotWatcher.ai is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or responsible for any third-party website audited through this tool. Audit results do not constitute any statement about a site's compliance with Google, Bing, OpenAI, Anthropic, or any other platform's policies.

6 · Data & Privacy

BotWatcher.ai does not collect personally identifiable information. The URL you submit is used solely to perform the audit and is cached in Cloudflare KV for up to 5 minutes before being discarded.

IP addresses are used for rate limiting only and are not logged, stored, or shared. No audit results are associated with user accounts or identities.

This tool runs entirely on Cloudflare's infrastructure. Cloudflare's own privacy policy governs any data processed at the network layer.

7 · Rate Limiting & Abuse Prevention

To protect the service and target sites from abuse, automated rate limiting is enforced per IP address. Attempts to circumvent rate limits, flood the service, or use the tool for automated bulk scanning are prohibited and may result in permanent IP blocks.

The operator reserves the right to block any IP address, user agent, or request pattern that appears abusive without notice.

8 · Age Restriction — No Use by Minors

BotWatcher.ai is intended solely for use by adults aged 18 years or older. By using this service you represent and warrant that you are at least 18 years of age and have the legal capacity to enter into these terms.

Children's Privacy — COPPA & GDPR-K Notice

This service is not directed to children under the age of 13 (or under 16 in jurisdictions that apply a higher threshold, including EU/EEA member states under the GDPR). We do not knowingly collect, solicit, or process any personal information from children. If we become aware that a child under the applicable minimum age has used this service or provided any personal data, we will take prompt steps to delete that information.

Parents, guardians, and educators who encounter this tool are advised that it is a professional-grade technical diagnostic service. It is not designed, marketed, or appropriate for use by minors. Access by anyone under 18 is prohibited.

These limitations apply regardless of whether liability is based on contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability, or any other legal theory, and even if the operator was advised of the possibility of such damages.

In jurisdictions that do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages, the operator's liability shall be limited to the maximum extent permitted by law. In no event shall the operator's aggregate liability to you exceed USD $0, as this service is provided free of charge.

10 · Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless BotWatcher.ai, its operator, affiliates, officers, employees, agents, licensors, and service providers from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, judgments, awards, losses, costs, expenses, or fees (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or relating to:

11 · No Professional or Legal Advice

Nothing on BotWatcher.ai constitutes legal, regulatory, security, financial, or professional advice of any kind. Audit results are provided for informational and diagnostic purposes only. They are not recommendations to take any specific action on your website, and they do not constitute compliance certification, legal opinions, or security clearances.

You should consult qualified legal counsel, cybersecurity professionals, or SEO specialists before making business decisions based on audit results. The operator expressly disclaims any professional duty of care arising from use of this service.

12 · Governing Law & Jurisdiction

These terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the United States, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any dispute arising from or relating to these terms or the use of this service shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the competent courts of the applicable US jurisdiction.

Users accessing this service from outside the United States do so voluntarily and are responsible for compliance with local laws. Nothing in these terms limits any rights you may have under mandatory local consumer protection law in your jurisdiction.

For users in the European Union or EEA: In addition to these terms, applicable EU consumer protection regulations, GDPR rights, and the EU AI Act apply to the extent they cannot be contractually waived.

13 · Severability & Entire Agreement

If any provision of these terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid under applicable law, that provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, or severed if modification is not possible. The remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.

These terms constitute the entire agreement between you and the operator regarding your use of BotWatcher.ai and supersede all prior or contemporaneous communications, whether oral or written.

The operator's failure to enforce any right or provision of these terms shall not constitute a waiver of that right or provision.

14 · Changes to This Disclaimer

This disclaimer may be updated at any time without notice. Continued use of the service after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated terms. The "last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. For material changes, we recommend re-reading this page periodically.

15 · AI-Generated Visual Content — EU AI Act Disclosure

In compliance with Article 50 of the EU AI Act (Regulation (EU) 2024/1689), which requires transparency when content is generated by artificial intelligence systems, we disclose the following:

Visual assets used across BotWatcher.ai — including the hero image on the landing page, dashboard imagery, and interface illustrations — were created using AI image generation systems. The following models and platforms were used in the production of this content:

No visual content on this site depicts real, identifiable individuals. No AI-generated content is presented as factual news, documentary evidence, or the independent work of a human artist without attribution. All AI-generated images are used for decorative and interface purposes only.

This disclosure applies to visitors in the European Union and European Economic Area as required by the EU AI Act, and is voluntarily extended globally as a best-practice transparency measure.

Underlying audit engine code was developed with AI coding assistance (GitHub Copilot / Claude Sonnet). The logic, architecture decisions, and deployment are the work of the operator. AI-assisted code is reviewed and deployed by a human.
