Terms of Service
Plain-English terms for using Essentials for Firefox. Reading the whole thing takes about two minutes.
1. The deal
When you buy Essentials, you receive a non-transferable license to use it in Firefox on desktop, on devices you own or control. Essentials is licensed, not sold. Your purchase is processed by Polar, our merchant of record, whose terms also apply to the transaction. If you install through Firefox Add-ons (AMO), your use of Firefox and AMO remains subject to Mozilla's applicable terms. Mozilla is not a party to these terms and is not responsible for Essentials support, payments, or refunds. These terms are an agreement between you and Pocket Atelier LLC, the maker of Essentials for Firefox.
2. What we promise
We plan to ship updates and bug fixes for as long as Essentials is sold, but we do not guarantee any particular update schedule. We aim to support the two most recent stable releases of Firefox, but make no warranty that any future browser release will be supported. If we ever stop selling Essentials, we will not intentionally disable previously activated local copies solely because sales have ended. Future browser, Firefox Add-ons, browser-sync, licensing, or security-policy changes may still affect functionality. Because sync relies on your browser account rather than our own infrastructure, your synced data remains tied to your browser vendor's sync service and is subject to their respective storage quotas and limitations.
3. What you agree not to do
- Reverse engineer, modify, repackage, or redistribute the extension, except where applicable law allows it.
- Use Essentials to violate someone else's rights or local law.
- Abuse our support email — we read every message and would prefer to keep doing so.
4. Termination
If you materially violate these terms, we may terminate your license or deactivate paid access where technically available, after notice when reasonable. Sections that by their nature should survive termination — including ownership, warranty disclaimers, liability limits, and governing law — will survive.
5. Browser sync
If you enable sync, your data lives in your browser account's sync storage. We do not receive or operate a copy of it. Your browser vendor's terms and privacy practices apply to that storage and to its availability.
6. Refunds
All purchases are processed by Polar. Contact us at support@essentialsforfirefox.app within 30 days of purchase and, once we can identify your order, we will approve a full refund through Polar, no questions asked. This does not limit any non-waivable consumer refund rights you may have under applicable law.
7. Disclaimer of warranties
Essentials is provided "as is." We've tested it carefully and use it ourselves every day, but software has bugs. To the extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.
8. Open-source components
Some parts of Essentials may include open-source software. Those components remain governed by their own license terms.
9. Limitation of liability
To the extent permitted by law, our maximum liability for any claim related to the extension is the amount you paid for it. We are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot legally be limited.
10. Changes to these terms
If we update these terms, the "Last updated" date at the top changes and we note the change in the changelog. Updated terms apply prospectively. Continued use of the extension after a change means you accept the updated terms, except where applicable law requires additional notice or consent.
11. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, USA, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. You agree to submit to the exclusive personal jurisdiction and venue of the state or federal courts located in Harris County, Texas to resolve any dispute, unless applicable consumer protection law gives you the right to bring a claim somewhere else.
