8. Third-Party Links, Content, and Services

8.1 External Links

The Site contains links to third-party websites, services, applications, and resources. These links are provided for your convenience and informational purposes only. We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies, data practices, accuracy, or availability of any linked third-party sites.

The inclusion of any link on the Site does not imply our endorsement, approval, verification, or sponsorship of that site or any products, services, or opinions expressed therein. You access third-party sites entirely at your own risk. We are not responsible or liable, directly or indirectly, for any damage or loss caused or alleged to be caused by your reliance on any content, goods, or services available on or through any third-party site.

8.2 Affiliate Links and Commercial Relationships

Some links on the Site — particularly in VPN reviews, software comparisons, and tool recommendation articles — are affiliate links. If you click on an affiliate link and subsequently make a purchase or complete another qualifying action, StaticFog may earn a commission. This commission is paid by the merchant, not by you, and does not affect the price you pay.

We disclose affiliate relationships prominently at the top of every article that contains them, in compliance with the Federal Trade Commission’s Endorsement Guides (16 CFR Part 255), UK ASA/CAP rules, and equivalent international advertising disclosure standards. Affiliate relationships never influence our editorial conclusions or recommendations.

8.3 Embedded Third-Party Content

The Site may embed content from third-party platforms including YouTube (Google LLC), Twitter/X Corp., LinkedIn Corporation, and others. Your interaction with embedded content is governed by the privacy policies and terms of service of those third-party platforms, not by these Terms. Embedded content from third parties may set their own cookies on your device independently of StaticFog’s cookie practices.

8.4 Advertising

We may display third-party advertisements on the Site through advertising networks such as Google AdSense and other programmatic advertising partners. The appearance of advertising on the Site does not constitute our endorsement of the advertised products or services. Advertisers are solely responsible for the content and accuracy of their advertisements. Any transactions, communications, or disputes you have with advertisers are solely between you and the advertiser. StaticFog bears no responsibility or liability for any such transactions or disputes.

9. VPN, Cybersecurity, and Technical Content — Special Disclaimer

A significant portion of StaticFog’s content relates to VPNs, cybersecurity tools, online privacy practices, and related technical matters. You acknowledge and agree that:

All VPN reviews, comparisons, and recommendations are based on our editorial team’s research and assessment at the time of publication. VPN service terms, policies, performance, and features change frequently, and we cannot guarantee that our content reflects the current state of any particular VPN service.
Our content reflects our editorial team’s opinions and should not be treated as definitive technical or security advice. Your specific security and privacy needs may differ from those described in our content.
The legal status of VPN use varies by country and jurisdiction.

You are solely responsible for ensuring that your use of any technology described on the Site complies with applicable law in your location.
No privacy tool — including VPNs — provides absolute anonymity or security. Our content attempts to accurately describe the capabilities and limitations of tools we review, but we make no guarantee regarding the effectiveness of any tool in your specific circumstances.
Cybersecurity threats evolve rapidly. Information published on our Site may become outdated. We are not responsible for any security incident, data breach, financial loss, or other harm that results from following or relying on our cybersecurity or privacy guidance.

12. Copyright Complaints (DMCA Takedown Procedure)

StaticFog respects the intellectual property rights of others.

We will review valid DMCA notices and take appropriate action, which may include removing or disabling access to the allegedly infringing material. Repeat infringers will have their accounts terminated. If you believe content was removed in error, you may submit a DMCA counter-notification in accordance with applicable law.

Submitting a false DMCA claim is a violation of these Terms and may expose you to legal liability under applicable law.

In the event of any conflict between these Terms and our Privacy Policy or Cookie Policy, the Privacy Policy or Cookie Policy shall govern with respect to privacy and data matters.

We may terminate or suspend your access to the Site — including your user account — immediately and without prior notice, with or without cause, at our sole discretion, including if we believe you have violated these Terms, applicable law, or if your conduct poses a risk to other users or to us.

Upon termination: your licence to use the Site terminates immediately; you must stop using the Site and delete any locally stored Site content; we may delete your account and User Content, though we are not obligated to do so. Provisions of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination will survive, including intellectual property ownership, indemnification, disclaimers, limitation of liability, and governing law provisions.

16. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York and the applicable federal laws of the United States of America, without regard to conflict of law principles. If you are a consumer resident in the European Union or United Kingdom, you may also benefit from any mandatory provisions of the consumer protection laws of your country of residence that cannot be lawfully excluded by agreement.

16.2 Informal Resolution

Before initiating any formal legal proceeding, you agree to contact us at contact@staticfog.com to attempt to resolve any dispute informally. We will make good-faith efforts to resolve disputes through informal negotiation within 30 days of receiving written notice of your claim.

16.3 Binding Arbitration (US Users)

For users located in the United States, you and StaticFog agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising from or relating to these Terms or the Site that cannot be resolved informally shall be resolved through binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules (available at https://www.adr.org/), rather than in court. The arbitration shall be conducted in New York, New York, or by telephone or video conference, and shall be decided by a single arbitrator. The arbitrator’s decision shall be final and binding.

There are some matters excluded from arbitration: (a) small claims court claims within applicable jurisdictional limits; (b) injunctive or other equitable relief for intellectual property infringement; and (c) claims that cannot lawfully be subject to binding arbitration under applicable law.

16.4 Class Action Waiver

TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, YOU AND STATICFOG AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, REPRESENTATIVE, OR COLLECTIVE ACTION OR PROCEEDING. If a court or arbitrator determines that this class action waiver is unenforceable for a particular claim, that claim must be severed and decided in court.

16.5 Non-US Users — Jurisdiction

If you are located outside the United States, you irrevocably submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York, United States, for the resolution of any dispute arising from these Terms, while retaining the right to bring proceedings in your local courts if required by mandatory applicable law.

18. Force Majeure

We will not be in breach of these Terms, and will not be liable to you, for any failure or delay in performing our obligations to the extent such failure or delay arises from causes beyond our reasonable control, including but not limited to: acts of God; war, terrorism, or civil unrest; government actions, orders, or regulations; pandemics or public health emergencies; internet or telecommunications infrastructure failures; power outages or grid failures; cyberattacks, distributed denial-of-service attacks, or other malicious interference; natural disasters; strikes or labour disputes; or any other event that is outside our reasonable control (“Force Majeure Event”).

19. Miscellaneous Provisions

19.1 Entire Agreement

19.2 Severability

If any provision of these Terms is held to be unlawful, invalid, void, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, that provision shall be severed from these Terms without affecting the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions, which shall continue in full force and effect. If a provision is found unenforceable but could be enforceable if modified, it shall be deemed modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable.

19.3 No Waiver

Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not constitute a waiver of that right or provision. Any waiver of a provision of these Terms will only be effective if made in writing and signed by an authorised representative of StaticFog. A waiver of any default will not constitute a waiver of any subsequent default of the same or any other provision.

19.4 Assignment

You may not assign, transfer, sublicence, or delegate any of your rights or obligations under these Terms to any third party without our prior written consent. Any purported assignment without such consent is null and void.
