1. Acceptance of Terms

By downloading, installing, accessing, or using the Smart Tab Cleaner browser extension ("the Extension") or visiting its associated web pages, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to be legally bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms").

If you do not agree with any provision of these Terms, you must immediately uninstall the Extension and cease all use of its services.

2. License Grant & Open Source Terms

Smart Tab Cleaner is provided as free, open-source software under the MIT License. You are granted a personal, non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, inspect, study, copy, and modify the software in accordance with the terms of the MIT License:

3. Description of Service & Tab Closing Behavior

Smart Tab Cleaner is a browser productivity utility intended to automate tab closing based on user-defined regular expressions, keywords, and timeout values. You acknowledge and understand that:

• The Extension executes tab closures based directly on the rules you configure or enable.
• Tabs closed by the Extension are closed using the standard browser API (chrome.tabs.remove). Any unsaved state or ongoing form submissions in matching tabs may be terminated upon closure.
• Closed tabs remain accessible in your standard Chrome history and may generally be reopened using the browser's "Reopen Closed Tab" shortcut (Ctrl + Shift + T or Cmd + Shift + T).

4. User Responsibilities & Acceptable Use

When using the Extension, you agree that:

• Rule Configuration: You are solely responsible for testing and verifying the regex patterns, keywords, and domains you add to your rules list. We encourage using the built-in "Test URL Matcher" before enabling broad patterns (e.g., avoiding over-generalized patterns like .* which would inadvertently match all visited websites).
• Lawful Use: You agree not to use the Extension for any unlawful, malicious, or unauthorized purpose.
• Data Backup: While the Extension provides local storage and Google Cloud Sync, you are encouraged to periodically export your rules via the "Export JSON" feature for safe-keeping.

5. Disclaimer of Warranties

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, THE EXTENSION IS PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE.

THE DEVELOPER SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE OPERATION OF THE EXTENSION WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, BUG-FREE, OR ERROR-FREE, OR THAT IT WILL SATISFY YOUR SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS.

6. Limitation of Liability

IN NO EVENT SHALL THE DEVELOPER (ANHHTZ) OR ANY CONTRIBUTORS BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE EXTENSION, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO:

• Loss of unsaved web page data, unsaved draft text, or active session state resulting from automated tab closure;
• Accidental closure of critical or productive tabs due to overly broad or misconfigured regex rules;
• Any interruption of workflow, lost profits, or browser instability.

7. Third-Party Services & Links

The Extension utilizes Google Chrome's native APIs, including chrome.storage.sync. The availability, synchronization speed, and encryption of synced data are governed by Google's own terms and policies. The developer assumes no responsibility for disruptions in Google's cloud synchronization infrastructure.

8. Modifications to Service & Terms

We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue the Extension or any feature at any time without prior notice. We may also revise these Terms of Service periodically. Changes take effect immediately upon posting to this web page. Your continued use of the Extension following updates constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms.

9. Termination

You may terminate these Terms at any time by uninstalling the Extension and deleting any exported configuration files. The developer may revoke your right to use the software if you violate these Terms.
