Terms of Service

Last Updated: May 6, 2026

1. Agreement to Terms

These Terms of Service (the "Terms") are a binding agreement between you and Anthony Sgro, an individual developer based in the United States ("we," "us," or "the developer"). By installing or using the GeoSpoof browser extension (the "Extension"), you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not install or use the Extension.

Your use of the Extension is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference.

2. Description of the Extension

GeoSpoof is a browser extension that overrides browser APIs related to geolocation, timezone, and WebRTC to allow you to present a chosen location to websites. It is intended for privacy protection, web development testing, and educational purposes.

GeoSpoof does not change your IP address. It does not provide anonymity or circumvent server-side detection methods.

3. Acceptable Use and Prohibited Uses

You are solely responsible for how you use the Extension. You agree not to use GeoSpoof to:

  • Violate the terms of service of any website or platform
  • Commit fraud, including misrepresenting your location for financial gain, evading fraud-prevention systems, or obtaining services you are not entitled to receive
  • Circumvent geo-restrictions on copyrighted content in violation of applicable law, including but not limited to the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) and the EU Copyright Directive
  • Access, use, or interact with any computer system in a manner that violates the U.S. Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA) or equivalent laws in your jurisdiction
  • Evade bans, sanctions, age restrictions, legal compliance checks, or law-enforcement investigations
  • Engage in harassment, stalking, impersonation, or any activity that harms another person
  • Engage in any activity that is illegal under applicable local, national, or international law

Use of this Extension to violate third-party terms of service or applicable law is entirely at your own risk and responsibility. The developer does not endorse or encourage any such use. The Extension is intended for privacy protection, web development testing, and educational purposes.

4. Third-Party Services

The Extension communicates with third-party services to provide certain features. These services include Nominatim (OpenStreetMap), ipify, GeoJS, FreeIPAPI, ReallyFreeGeoIP, ipinfo.io, and the browser-geo-tz CDN. Your use of those services is subject to their respective terms and privacy policies. We are not responsible for the availability, accuracy, or conduct of any third-party service. The specific data sent to each service and the conditions under which it is sent are described in our Privacy Policy.

5. Open Source

GeoSpoof is open source software licensed under the MIT License. The source code is available at github.com/anthonysgro/geospoof. The MIT License governs your rights to use, copy, modify, and distribute the source code.

6. Intellectual Property

The GeoSpoof name, logo, and associated branding are the property of the developer. The underlying source code is available under the MIT License. Nothing in these Terms grants you rights to use the GeoSpoof name or branding beyond what is necessary to describe your use of the Extension.

7. Disclaimer of Warranties

The Extension is provided on an "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE" basis without warranties of any kind, express or implied. We do not warrant that:

  • The Extension will function correctly on all browsers, websites, or platforms
  • The Extension will remain undetected by websites or fingerprinting tools
  • The Extension will be free from bugs, errors, or interruptions
  • Third-party services used by the Extension will remain available

8. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the developer shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of or inability to use the Extension, including but not limited to:

  • Account bans, suspensions, or penalties imposed by third-party platforms
  • Legal consequences resulting from your use of the Extension in violation of applicable law or third-party terms
  • Loss of data or privacy breaches caused by third parties

In no event shall the developer's total liability exceed the amount paid by you, if any, for the Extension (which is free).

9. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless the developer from and against any claims, damages, losses, or expenses (including reasonable attorney's fees) arising from your use of the Extension or your violation of these Terms.

10. Governing Law

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, United States, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.

11. Limitation of Actions

Any claim arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Extension must be filed within one (1) year after the claim arose; otherwise, the claim is permanently barred, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.

12. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid under applicable law, that provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, or severed if modification is not possible. The remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.

13. Changes to Terms

We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated date, and material changes will be announced in the extension's release notes. Continued use of the Extension after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms.

14. Contact and Notices
