Terms of Service

Effective date: July 7, 2026 · Last updated: July 7, 2026

These Terms of Service ("Terms") are a legal agreement between you and DeeVec ("we", "our", or "us"). They govern your use of the DeeVec Chrome extension, the DeeVec website at deevec.dev, and any related services (together, the "Service").

By creating an account, installing the extension, or using the Service in any way, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

1. What DeeVec does

DeeVec is a Chrome extension that captures web pages you choose to save and lets you search them by meaning. When you capture a page, DeeVec extracts its text content, splits it into paragraph-level chunks, converts those chunks into numerical vectors (embeddings), and stores both the text and the vectors so you can search them later. DeeVec returns ranked text snippets with links back to the original source. It does not generate AI answers, summaries, or recommendations.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old to use DeeVec. If you are under 18, you represent that your parent or legal guardian has reviewed and agreed to these Terms on your behalf. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13, and if we learn that we have, we will delete it promptly.

3. Your account

To use DeeVec, you must create an account with a valid email address and password. You are responsible for keeping your credentials secure and for all activity that occurs under your account. If you believe your account has been accessed without your authorization, contact us immediately at support@deevec.dev.

You may not create accounts in bulk, share your account with others, or use another person's account without their permission.

4. Content and licensing

4.1 Your content

When you capture a web page, inject a note, or highlight text using DeeVec, the resulting content (including the extracted text, metadata, and generated embeddings) is "Your Content." You retain ownership of Your Content. We do not claim any ownership rights over it.

4.2 License you grant us

By using DeeVec to capture, store, or search content, you grant us a limited, non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license to process Your Content solely to provide the Service to you. This includes the right to:

• Extract text from the web pages you capture.
• Parse that text into paragraph-level chunks.
• Convert those chunks into vector embeddings.
• Store the text, metadata, and embeddings in our database.
• Return stored text as search results when you search.

This license exists only so we can operate the Service. We will not use Your Content for any other purpose, including advertising, AI model training, or sharing with third parties. This license terminates when you delete the content or close your account.

4.3 Third-party content

Most of the web pages you capture contain content created by someone else. By capturing a page, you represent that you are accessing and storing that content for your own personal, non-commercial reference. DeeVec does not verify, endorse, or take responsibility for the accuracy, legality, or appropriateness of any third-party content you capture.

You are solely responsible for ensuring that your use of DeeVec does not violate any applicable law or any third party's intellectual property rights. Do not use DeeVec to systematically copy, redistribute, or republish content from websites that prohibit such use.

5. Copyright and DMCA

We respect intellectual property rights. If you believe that content stored through DeeVec infringes your copyright, you may submit a takedown notice to our designated agent:

DMCA Agent
DeeVec
Email: support@deevec.dev
Subject line: DMCA Takedown Notice

Your notice must include:

• A description of the copyrighted work you believe has been infringed.
• A description of the material you believe is infringing, with enough detail for us to locate it (for example, a URL or page title).
• Your contact information (name, address, phone number, email).
• A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
• A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or are authorized to act on the owner's behalf.
• Your physical or electronic signature.

Upon receiving a valid DMCA notice, we will remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing material and notify the user who stored it. We may terminate the accounts of users who repeatedly infringe.

6. Data storage and designed data loss

DeeVec uses a two-pool storage system for captured pages. Understanding this is important because some of your stored data is designed to be automatically deleted.

6.1 Persistent pool

Pages you manually capture (one-click capture, note injection, or text highlighting) are stored in the persistent pool. These pages remain in your account until you delete them. They are not subject to automatic deletion. Storage limits vary by plan and are listed on our pricing page.

6.2 Buffer pool

Pages captured by the auto-capture feature are stored in the buffer pool. Buffer pool pages have a time-to-live (TTL) of 7 days. After 7 days, they become eligible for automatic removal. Additionally, when the buffer pool reaches capacity, the oldest pages are removed first to make room for new ones, even if they have not yet reached the 7-day TTL. This is called FIFO (first-in, first-out) eviction. Buffer pool capacity limits vary by plan and are listed on our pricing page.

You can promote any buffer pool page to the persistent pool at any time by saving it, which removes it from automatic deletion. However, if you do not save a buffer pool page before it expires or is evicted, that page and all of its associated data (text, embeddings, metadata) will be permanently deleted.

6.3 No liability for designed data loss

The buffer pool's TTL expiration and FIFO eviction are intentional features of the Service, not errors. By using auto-capture, you acknowledge that buffer pool content will be automatically deleted and you accept that risk. We are not liable for any loss of data that results from the normal operation of the buffer pool, including content you intended to keep but did not explicitly save to the persistent pool.

We strongly recommend saving any auto-captured content you want to keep. Do not rely on the buffer pool for long-term storage.

7. Paid subscriptions

7.1 DeeVec Pro

DeeVec offers a paid tier ("DeeVec Pro") at $5 per month. Pro includes higher storage limits, auto-capture, and additional features as described on our pricing page. Prices may change with 30 days' notice.

7.2 Billing

Payments are processed by Stripe. By subscribing, you authorize Stripe to charge your payment method on a recurring monthly basis. You are responsible for keeping your payment information current. We do not receive, store, or have access to your credit card number or payment method details.

7.3 Cancellation

You may cancel your Pro subscription at any time from the extension's profile settings. Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing period. You will retain Pro features until your current period ends. We do not offer refunds for partial billing periods.

7.4 Downgrade effects

If your subscription ends (whether by cancellation or payment failure), your account reverts to the free tier. If your stored content exceeds free-tier limits at that time, you will not lose existing content immediately, but you will be unable to capture new pages until you reduce your content to within the free-tier limits.

8. Acceptable use

You agree not to use DeeVec to:

• Violate any law or regulation, or infringe any third party's rights.
• Capture, store, or search content that is illegal, harmful, threatening, abusive, harassing, defamatory, or otherwise objectionable.
• Systematically scrape, mirror, or redistribute the content of third-party websites.
• Interfere with or disrupt the Service, its servers, or its networks.
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to any part of the Service, other users' accounts, or any systems or networks connected to the Service.
• Use the Service for any purpose other than personal, non-commercial information retrieval.
• Reverse-engineer, decompile, or disassemble any part of the Service, except to the extent that applicable law prohibits this restriction.
• Use automated tools (bots, scrapers, scripts) to interact with the Service beyond the extension's built-in auto-capture feature.

9. Service availability and changes

We aim to keep DeeVec available and reliable, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation. We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service at any time, with or without notice. If we discontinue the Service entirely, we will make reasonable efforts to give you at least 30 days' notice and an opportunity to export or delete your data. Following shutdown, all user data will be permanently deleted.

10. Account termination

You may close your account at any time by contacting support@deevec.dev. We will delete all of your data within 30 days of your request.

We may suspend or terminate your account at any time if you violate these Terms, engage in activity that could harm the Service or other users, or if required by law. If we terminate your account for cause, we are not obligated to provide a refund for any unused subscription period.

11. Disclaimer of warranties

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory. We specifically disclaim all implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

Without limiting the above, we do not warrant that:

• The Service will meet your requirements or expectations.
• Search results will be accurate, complete, or relevant.
• Captured content will be preserved indefinitely (see Section 6 regarding the buffer pool).
• The Service will be available at all times or free from errors or security vulnerabilities.
• Content extracted from web pages will be complete or identical to the original.

12. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, DeeVec and its representatives will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of data, profits, revenue, or business opportunity, arising out of or related to your use of the Service, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

This limitation applies specifically, but not exclusively, to:

• Data lost through buffer pool TTL expiration or FIFO eviction.
• Data lost due to account deletion, service interruption, or technical failure.
• Inaccurate, incomplete, or missing content extracted from captured web pages.
• Third-party content that you captured and later found to be inaccurate, misleading, or harmful.

Our total aggregate liability for all claims arising out of or related to these Terms or the Service will not exceed the amount you paid us in the 12 months preceding the claim, or $50, whichever is greater.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages. In those jurisdictions, our liability is limited to the fullest extent permitted by law.

13. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless DeeVec and its representatives from any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to: (a) your use of the Service; (b) Your Content, including any third-party intellectual property claims related to content you captured; (c) your violation of these Terms; or (d) your violation of any applicable law or third-party right. This section applies to the extent permitted by applicable law in your jurisdiction.

14. Dispute resolution

14.1 Informal resolution

Before filing any formal proceeding, you agree to contact us at support@deevec.dev and attempt to resolve the dispute informally for at least 30 days.

14.2 Binding arbitration

If we cannot resolve a dispute informally, you and DeeVec agree to resolve it through binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under its Consumer Arbitration Rules. Arbitration will take place in Orange County, Florida, or at another mutually agreed location. The arbitrator's decision will be final and binding.

14.3 Class action waiver

You and DeeVec agree that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not as part of a class, consolidated, or representative action. If this waiver is found to be unenforceable, the entirety of this arbitration provision will be void.

14.4 Exceptions

Either party may bring a claim in small claims court if the claim qualifies. Either party may seek injunctive or equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement of intellectual property rights.

15. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. Any litigation not subject to arbitration will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Orange County, Florida.

16. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will notify you by updating the "Last updated" date at the top of this page and, where practical, by email. Your continued use of the Service after the updated Terms take effect constitutes your acceptance of the changes. If you do not agree to the updated Terms, you must stop using the Service.

17. General provisions

Entire agreement

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and DeeVec regarding the Service and supersede any prior agreements.

Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.

Waiver

Our failure to enforce any provision of these Terms is not a waiver of that provision or any other provision.

Assignment

You may not assign or transfer these Terms or your rights under them without our prior written consent. We may assign our rights and obligations under these Terms without restriction, and will notify you of any such assignment.

Notices

We may send you notices via the email address associated with your account. You may send us notices at support@deevec.dev.
