Podcast Ad Block

Terms of Service

Effective date: 21 August 2025

Introduction

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the PodcastAdBlock website, applications, and services (collectively, the “Service”) provided by PodcastAdBlock (“PodcastAdBlock”, “we”, “us”, or “our”). By creating an account, using the Service, or clicking to accept these Terms, you agree to be bound by them.

If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the Service.

Summary of key points

  • We provide tools to detect and skip podcast ads; results are not guaranteed.
  • We collect only the data needed to run the Service and measure performance. We do not sell your personal data.
  • We may use your data for ad targeting and measurement on Reddit, Google, and Meta to grow our business. You can opt out as described in our Privacy Policy.
  • Subscriptions renew automatically unless you cancel. You can cancel anytime in your account.
  • You may request account deletion at any time by emailing support@podcastadblock.app or via in-product controls.

1. Eligibility and Accounts

  • You must be at least 16 years old to use the Service. If you are under 18, you must have parental or guardian consent where required by law.
  • You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account.
  • Provide accurate information and keep it up to date. We may suspend or terminate accounts that are inaccurate, fraudulent, or unauthorized.
  • You may delete your account at any time via settings where available or by contacting support@podcastadblock.app. Deleting your account is permanent and will remove your profile and associated personal data subject to our retention obligations.

2. Subscriptions, Trials, and Billing

  • Some features are offered on a paid subscription basis. When you start a subscription, you authorize us and our payment processor (e.g., Stripe) to charge your payment method for recurring fees and applicable taxes until you cancel.
  • Unless otherwise stated, subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each billing period at the then-current price.
  • You may cancel at any time, and your access will continue until the end of the current billing period. We do not provide refunds or credits for partial billing periods except where required by law.
  • Free trials and promotional offers are subject to change or discontinuation at any time. If you do not cancel before a trial ends, you will be charged for the next period.
  • We may change prices upon advance notice as required by law. If you do not agree to the new price, cancel before the change takes effect.

3. Permitted Use and Restrictions

  • You may use the Service only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms.
  • You agree not to: (a) reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to access source code except as permitted by law; (b) bypass or circumvent any access or usage limits; © use the Service to infringe the rights of others; (d) upload malicious code; or (e) use the Service to train competing models or datasets without our prior written consent.
  • We may investigate and take appropriate action for violations, including suspension or termination.

4. User Content and License

  • You retain ownership of content you submit to or through the Service (“User Content”). You grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, process, and display your User Content solely as necessary to provide and improve the Service.
  • You represent and warrant that you have all rights necessary to submit the User Content and that it does not violate any laws or third-party rights.

5. Feedback

  • If you send us ideas, suggestions, or feedback, you grant us a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free license to use and incorporate that feedback without any obligation to you.

6. Third-Party Services

  • The Service may depend on, integrate with, or link to third-party services (e.g., podcast directories, hosting providers, cloud infrastructure, Stripe, or analytics/advertising platforms). Your use of those services may be subject to separate terms and privacy policies.
  • We are not responsible for third-party services and do not endorse them. We are not liable for acts or omissions of third parties.

7. Advertising and Analytics

  • We use analytics and advertising tools to understand usage and grow our business. We may use your data to target and measure ads on Reddit, Google, and Meta (including custom audiences, conversion APIs, and pixel/SDK signals).
  • Where required by law (such as in the UK/EEA), we will obtain your consent before setting cookies or using identifiers for targeted advertising or analytics.
  • We may share limited, pseudonymized, or hashed identifiers (such as a hashed email) with Reddit, Google, and Meta to create or measure audiences. We do not disclose raw personal data for unrelated third-party marketing and do not sell your personal data.
  • You can opt out of targeted advertising and analytics as described in our Privacy Policy and cookie controls.

8. Privacy

  • You may not use our names, logos, or trademarks without our prior written permission.

10. Termination

  • You may stop using the Service at any time and may delete your account as described above.
  • We may suspend or terminate your access immediately if we reasonably believe you have violated these Terms, pose a risk to the Service or other users, or to comply with law.
  • Upon termination, sections that by their nature should survive (e.g., feedback, IP rights, warranty disclaimers, limitations of liability, indemnity) will survive.

11. Disclaimers

  • THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE, OR THAT ADS WILL ALWAYS BE DETECTED OR SKIPPED.
  • Some jurisdictions do not allow the disclaimer of certain warranties; to the extent required by law, those warranties are limited to the minimum period permitted.

12. Limitation of Liability

  • TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, PODCASTADBLOCK AND ITS AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, AND PARTNERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, OR USE, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE, WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STATUTE, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
