The short version: TabSmarter is a free Chrome extension. You can use it however you want. We make no guarantees about it. We're not responsible if it breaks something. Don't try to attack our website. That's basically it.
If you'd prefer the slightly less casual version, read on.
1. Who's "we" and what is "this"?
"TabSmarter," "we," "us," and "our" mean the maintainers of the TabSmarter Chrome extension and the tabsmarter.com website. "This" refers to both the extension and the website.
"You" means whoever's using either of them.
2. The extension is free
TabSmarter is provided to you at no cost, with no advertising, and no upsell. We don't make money from it, and you don't owe us anything for using it. There is no premium tier, and there are no plans for one.
3. You can use it however you want
You're free to install, use, and uninstall the extension on any device you own or have permission to use. You can use it for personal, professional, educational, or commercial purposes. You don't need a license key or an account.
Specifically, we permit you to:
- Use it on as many machines as you want
- Customize its settings however you like
- Import and export your own data freely
- Recommend it to other people, including in commercial contexts
4. What we ask in return
Don't do these things:
- Repackage and resell the extension as your own product
- Modify it and distribute the modified version under the name "TabSmarter" in a way that confuses users about what they're installing
- Try to compromise tabsmarter.com (DDoS, exploitation attempts, scraping abuse, etc.)
- Use the trademark "TabSmarter" or our coral mark in a way that implies endorsement we haven't given
5. The "no warranty" part
The extension is provided "as is" with no warranty of any kind. That means:
- We don't promise it will work for your specific use case
- We don't promise it won't have bugs
- We don't promise it will keep working after a Chrome update breaks an underlying API
- We don't promise that any specific feature will continue to exist in future versions
If something it does (or fails to do) causes you to lose work, miss a deadline, or break a promise to someone else, that's on you, not us. Back up anything you can't afford to lose.
6. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event will TabSmarter or its maintainers be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising out of your use of the extension or the website — including, without limitation, lost profits, lost data, or lost time.
Our total liability for any claim relating to this software is limited to: zero dollars. (The extension is free.)
7. Changes to these terms
We may update these terms when we ship a new version of the extension or the website. The "last updated" date at the top will reflect any change. Continued use of the extension after a change means you accept the new terms. If you don't accept them, uninstall the extension.
8. Termination
You can stop using the extension at any time by uninstalling it. We can't really stop you from using it either, but we reserve the right to release a future version that we ask you to upgrade to, and to stop maintaining old versions.
9. Third-party services
The extension talks to Chrome and to nothing else. Chrome syncs your settings via your Google account using its own infrastructure — we don't control that, and Google's terms apply to it.
The website is currently a static site with no third-party services embedded. If we ever add analytics, a newsletter backend, or anything else, we'll list them here.
10. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of your local jurisdiction insofar as they require it. Where they don't, we'd prefer to keep things simple and resolve any dispute through good-faith conversation.

These terms are not legal advice. We tried to write them in a way an actual human can read. If you operate in a jurisdiction with strict consumer protection rules, those rules take precedence over anything we've written here that conflicts with them.
