This Agreement is entered into by WhatsGoodApps LLC (“WhatsGoodApps,” “We,” “Us,” or “Our”), the developer of the VBN Private Browser application (the “App,” “Service,” or “Services”), and the person agreeing to these terms (“You” or “Your”), and governs Your access to and use of the Services.
This Agreement is effective when You are presented with this Agreement and proceed to use the Services (the “Effective Date”). These terms may be updated and presented again from time to time. Continued use of the Services after an updated version becomes effective constitutes acceptance of the updated terms to the extent permitted by applicable law. If You do not agree to this Agreement, please stop using the Services.
Nature of the Service
VBN Private Browser is a private web browser designed to provide privacy-oriented browsing features. VBN is not a virtual private network (“VPN”), proxy service, anonymity network, internet service provider, antivirus service, identity-protection service, or security guarantee. VBN does not route all of Your device traffic through a private network and does not, merely by being used, conceal Your IP address from websites, network operators, internet service providers, search providers, or other third parties.
Service Availability and Quality
We are constantly improving the Services. The Services and any feature may be modified, limited, suspended, discontinued, or changed from time to time. No guarantees are made with respect to the Services’ quality, stability, compatibility, uptime, reliability, availability, performance, or continued availability of any feature. Certain functionality may depend on Your device, operating system, network connection, website behavior, App Store services, or other circumstances outside Our control.
Age Requirements
By accessing the Services, You confirm that You are at least 18 years old and meet the minimum age of digital consent in Your country. The Services are intended only for adults. You may not use the Services if You are under 18 years old.
If You are a parent or legal guardian and believe that a minor has accessed or used the Services, please contact Us so that We may take appropriate action.
No Account or Login
VBN does not require a VBN account or login. App settings, Quick Access shortcuts, applicable browsing data, downloads, and locally maintained counters are stored on the device as described in these Terms and Our Privacy Policy. Subscription entitlement is managed through the applicable app store account rather than through a VBN user account.
Private Browsing, Sessions and Browsing History
VBN is designed not to retain Your browsing history after a browsing session ends. Information needed to provide the current browsing session may be maintained temporarily on Your device during that session, including temporary browsing-history information where required for browser functionality. That temporary information is deleted when the browsing session ends as described below.
For purposes of VBN, a browsing session ends when all browser tabs are closed, when VBN is fully terminated, or when You use the App’s Clear function. Cookies and site data are intended to remain only for the current browsing session and are deleted at the end of the browsing session. The App does not maintain a persistent VBN browsing-history record after the session ends.
Private browsing does not make You anonymous on the internet. Websites, search engines, internet service providers, mobile carriers, Wi-Fi or network administrators, employers, schools, device or operating-system services, DNS providers, and other third parties may still be able to observe, receive, infer, record, or retain information about Your activity. VBN cannot delete or control information independently collected or retained by those third parties.
Clear Browsing Data
The App provides a Clear function that is designed to clear VBN browsing data, including open tabs, cookies and site data, downloads stored within VBN’s local app storage, and temporary browsing-history information. Using Clear does not cancel a subscription and cannot erase data independently retained by websites, search providers, network providers, operating systems, app stores, or other third parties.
Although VBN is designed to clear the applicable local data, no software-based deletion mechanism can be guaranteed to prevent every form of technical recovery, operating-system caching, backup, forensic recovery, third-party logging, or other retention outside VBN’s direct control.
Free Features
The App may provide certain features without an active paid subscription. Free features may include:
One browser tab;
No retained browsing history after a browsing session ends;
Session-only cookies and site data;
Optional basic ad and tracker blocking;
Tap-to-clear browsing data;
HTTPS-Only Mode;
Quick Access shortcuts; and
Selection among supported search engines.
Free features, functionality, and availability may change from time to time, subject to applicable law and app-store requirements.
Premium Features
An active paid subscription provides access to the Free features and additional Premium features, which may include:
Unlimited browser tabs, subject to practical and technical limits described below;
Optional Face ID and/or PIN lock;
Downloads;
Optional automatic clearing of browsing data (“Auto-Clear”);
Optional Fingerprint Shield;
Optional Blur App Switcher; and
Other Premium privacy, security, convenience, or browsing features that may be offered in the App.
Features identified as optional are controlled through the App’s Settings and may be turned on or off by You. Some optional features may require compatible device hardware, operating-system functionality, permissions, or settings.
Unlimited Tabs and Practical Limits
References to “unlimited” browser tabs mean that VBN does not impose a predetermined numerical tab limit on Premium subscribers. The number of tabs that can actually remain open, load, refresh, or operate effectively may be limited by available device memory, storage, processor resources, operating-system restrictions, website behavior, network conditions, performance considerations, stability safeguards, abuse prevention, or other technical or practical limitations. We may implement reasonable technical safeguards where necessary to protect the App, Your device, or service quality.
Subscriptions and Billing
VBN may offer Weekly and Yearly subscription options. Both subscription options provide access to the same Premium features while the subscription remains active. There is no free trial unless a different offer is expressly presented to You in the App or by the applicable app store.
Subscriptions automatically renew and are billed every applicable billing cycle—weekly for a Weekly subscription and yearly for a Yearly subscription—unless cancelled in accordance with the applicable app store’s rules before renewal. You may cancel at any time through Your app store subscription settings. Deleting VBN does not cancel Your subscription.
Weekly subscribers may change or upgrade to the Yearly subscription where supported by the applicable app store. The timing of plan changes, charges, credits, renewals, and access is controlled by the applicable app store’s subscription-management rules.
VBN is initially distributed through the Apple App Store and may later be offered through Google Play or other authorized platforms. Subscriptions are billed through the platform through which You subscribe. Prices, taxes, payment processing, renewal notices, cancellation, billing disputes, and refunds are subject to the applicable platform’s terms and rules and applicable law. Unless otherwise required by law or applicable platform rules, payments are non-refundable and there are no refunds or credits for partially used subscription periods.
If Your subscription expires, is cancelled, refunded, revoked, fails to renew, or is otherwise not in good standing, access to Premium features may end and the App may revert to Free functionality. You are responsible for managing any data or open tabs that may be affected by a change from Premium to Free access.
Ad and Tracker Blocking
VBN may offer optional basic ad and tracker blocking. This feature is designed to identify or block certain advertisements, trackers, scripts, requests, or related content, but it does not and cannot guarantee that every advertisement, tracker, script, fingerprinting method, tracking request, or similar technology will be detected or blocked. Blocking technologies and third-party tracking methods change over time.
Ad and tracker blocking may occasionally block legitimate content or interfere with website features, formatting, login systems, payments, media playback, or other functionality. You may disable the feature in Settings where available. WhatsGoodApps is not responsible for website errors, unavailable content, or other consequences resulting from blocking or attempting to block third-party content.
Fingerprint Shield
Fingerprint Shield is an optional Premium feature intended to reduce certain browser- fingerprinting techniques. Depending on the App version and browsing environment, Fingerprint Shield may alter or block fingerprintable browser properties, randomize certain information, block certain scripts, or use similar local techniques. Fingerprint Shield operates locally on Your device.
Fingerprint Shield does not guarantee anonymity, uniqueness protection, or prevention of all fingerprinting. Websites and third parties may use other technologies, identifiers, behaviors, network information, account information, or combinations of data to identify, distinguish, recognize, or track a browser or device. Enabling Fingerprint Shield may cause some websites or features to function differently or incorrectly.
HTTPS-Only Mode
HTTPS-Only Mode is designed to favor or require secure HTTPS connections where supported and may prevent, warn about, or interfere with access to websites or resources that are available only through insecure HTTP connections. HTTPS helps protect information in transit when properly implemented, but it does not mean that a website is trustworthy, legitimate, accurate, malware-free, or otherwise safe. VBN does not guarantee the security or authenticity of any website merely because an HTTPS connection is available.
Face ID and PIN Lock
Premium subscribers may choose to enable a Face ID and/or PIN lock for VBN. These features operate locally on the device and are intended to restrict access to the App. Face ID depends on compatible Apple device hardware, operating-system functionality, permissions, and settings. A PIN is also a local access-control feature. Neither method is an absolute security guarantee, and You remain responsible for maintaining the security of Your device and preventing unauthorized access.
Blur App Switcher
Blur App Switcher is an optional Premium feature designed to obscure or replace the visible preview of VBN when VBN appears in the operating system’s app-switching interface. It does not guarantee protection against screenshots, screen recording, photographs of the screen, operating-system behavior, accessibility tools, device compromise, or every other means by which screen content could potentially be viewed or captured.
Auto-Clear
Auto-Clear is an optional Premium feature designed to automatically clear applicable VBN browsing data when a browsing session ends. As described above, a browsing session ends when all tabs are closed, when VBN is fully terminated, or when You use Clear. Auto-Clear is intended to delete open tabs, cookies and site data, downloads stored within VBN’s local app storage, and temporary browsing-history information.
Auto-Clear depends on the App and operating system being able to perform the applicable deletion operations. VBN cannot guarantee deletion of copies, caches, logs, backups, or records maintained outside VBN’s control. You should not rely on Auto-Clear as the sole means of protecting highly sensitive information.
Downloads
Downloads are a Premium feature. Files downloaded through VBN are stored within VBN’s local app storage. Downloaded files may persist during the current browsing session until they are deleted, cleared, or otherwise removed by the App. The Clear function and Auto-Clear are designed to delete downloaded files stored within VBN’s local app storage.
You are solely responsible for files You choose to download, open, view, or use. Downloaded files may contain malicious, deceptive, infringing, illegal, corrupted, incompatible, or otherwise harmful content. WhatsGoodApps does not review, scan, approve, or guarantee files offered by third-party websites and is not responsible for damage, loss, or other consequences arising from Your downloads.
Quick Access Shortcuts
VBN may allow You to create Quick Access shortcuts on the Home page to websites of Your choosing. Quick Access shortcuts and their destination URLs are stored locally on Your device. A shortcut is only a convenience link and does not mean that WhatsGoodApps operates, sponsors, endorses, recommends, is affiliated with, or assumes responsibility for the destination website.
You are responsible for selecting and maintaining Your shortcuts and for ensuring that any destination You access is appropriate and lawful. Websites may move, change, become unavailable, redirect to other locations, change ownership, or present content different from what was available when You created a shortcut.
Search Engines
VBN may allow You to select a search engine from supported choices, which may include DuckDuckGo, Startpage, Brave Search, and Bing. When You perform a search, the search query and information necessary to complete the request are transmitted to the search provider You selected. That provider’s own terms, privacy policy, systems, and practices apply to its services.
Search providers are independent third parties. WhatsGoodApps does not control or guarantee search results, ranking, completeness, availability, accuracy, privacy practices, security, advertising, or content provided by a search engine. The availability of particular search-engine choices may change from time to time. Inclusion of a search provider in VBN does not imply sponsorship, endorsement, or affiliation.
Privacy and Protection Counters
VBN may display counters or statistics such as the number of ads blocked, the number of trackers blocked, and “History Saved.” These counters are informational estimates based on VBN’s own local operation and should not be treated as complete measurements of all advertising, tracking, fingerprinting, or third-party data collection. Ad and tracker counters are stored only on the device and are designed to reset rather than serve as a permanent or account-based record.
“History Saved” refers to browsing history retained by VBN after the current browsing session and is designed to remain at zero because VBN does not retain persistent browsing history after a session ends. A value of zero does not mean that websites, search providers, internet service providers, network administrators, operating systems, or other third parties have not collected, observed, or retained information about Your activity.
Third-Party Websites, Content and Services
The central purpose of a web browser is to access third-party websites, content, and services. WhatsGoodApps does not own, operate, review, monitor, control, verify, endorse, or assume responsibility for websites or content You access through VBN. Third-party websites may have their own terms, privacy policies, tracking technologies, account systems, payment systems, advertising, security practices, and legal requirements.
Your interactions with third-party websites are solely between You and those third parties. WhatsGoodApps is not responsible for their availability, legality, accuracy, security, privacy, products, services, transactions, representations, conduct, malware, tracking, advertising, content, or any loss or harm arising from them. You are responsible for reviewing and complying with applicable third-party terms and policies.
No Guarantee of Anonymity, Security or Tracking Prevention
VBN provides privacy-oriented tools, but no browser can guarantee complete anonymity, confidentiality, security, or freedom from tracking. VBN does not guarantee that Your IP address, device characteristics, account identity, network activity, searches, website visits, browser behavior, or other information cannot be observed, inferred, intercepted, identified, associated, logged, or retained by third parties.
VBN does not guarantee protection against phishing, malware, malicious websites, fraud, scams, hacking, identity theft, tracking, fingerprinting, interception, compromised networks, compromised devices, malicious downloads, data breaches, or other online threats. You should exercise appropriate judgment and caution before entering passwords, payment details, personal information, confidential information, or other sensitive data on any website.
Prohibited Uses
You may not use the Services to:
Violate any applicable national, federal, state, local, or international law or regulation;
Infringe or violate intellectual-property, privacy, publicity, confidentiality, contractual, or other rights of any person or entity;
Gain or attempt to gain unauthorized access to an account, computer, device, server, service, website, network, or data;
Distribute, transmit, download, install, or use malware, malicious code, ransomware, spyware, destructive code, or other harmful material;
Conduct attacks, unauthorized scanning, credential theft, fraud, impersonation, or other malicious activity;
Use the Services to unlawfully circumvent access restrictions, technological protections, payment requirements, rights-management controls, or other lawful restrictions;
Interfere with, disrupt, overload, damage, or attempt to gain unauthorized access to VBN, Our systems, or services connected to VBN;
Reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, modify, or attempt to extract source code or underlying proprietary technology from the Services, except to the extent such restriction is prohibited by applicable law;
Bypass, manipulate, defeat, or misuse subscription checks, Premium restrictions, technical limits, or other access controls; or
Attempt to do any of the foregoing.
We may restrict or terminate access to the Services where reasonably necessary to protect the Services, comply with law or platform requirements, prevent abuse, or respond to a violation of these Terms.
Local Data, Device Changes and Data Loss
VBN is designed around local device storage and session-based browsing. Quick Access shortcuts, settings, downloads, temporary browsing information, and other locally stored App data may be lost if the App is deleted, local storage is cleared, the device is lost, damaged, reset, replaced, or restored, the operating system removes data, or other device-level events occur. VBN does not guarantee backup, synchronization, or recoverability of locally stored information.
You are responsible for maintaining separate copies of any downloaded material that You need to retain. Because Clear and Auto-Clear are designed to delete downloads stored within VBN’s local app storage, You should not use those functions if You intend to preserve a downloaded file within VBN.
Beta and Experimental Features
The App may offer beta, experimental, preview, or early-access features. Such features may be incomplete, unstable, unavailable, changed, limited, or discontinued at any time and may behave differently from generally available features. Beta or experimental features are provided as-is and should not be relied upon as a guaranteed privacy, security, or availability measure.
Intellectual Property
The Services, including the App’s software, design, interface, graphics, logos, trademarks, text, functionality, and other materials provided by WhatsGoodApps, are owned by or licensed to WhatsGoodApps and are protected by applicable intellectual-property laws. Except for the limited right to use the Services in accordance with these Terms, no rights are granted to You in the Services or Our intellectual property.
Third-party websites, search engines, trademarks, content, and services remain the property of their respective owners. References to third-party names or services are for identification and interoperability purposes and do not imply endorsement or affiliation unless expressly stated.
Disclaimer of Warranties
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, SECURITY, PRIVACY, ACCURACY, AVAILABILITY, OR ERROR-FREE OPERATION.
WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT VBN WILL MAKE YOU ANONYMOUS, BLOCK ALL ADS OR TRACKERS, PREVENT ALL FINGERPRINTING, PREVENT THIRD-PARTY LOGGING, IDENTIFY ALL MALICIOUS CONTENT, GUARANTEE SECURE CONNECTIONS, PREVENT UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS, CLEAR EVERY COPY OF DATA THAT MAY EXIST OUTSIDE THE APP, OR OPERATE WITHOUT INTERRUPTION, COMPATIBILITY ISSUES, OR ERRORS.
Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, WhatsGoodApps LLC and its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, licensors, and service providers shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, punitive, or exemplary damages, including loss of profits, revenue, goodwill, use, data, privacy, business opportunity, or other financial or intangible losses, arising out of or relating to:
Your use of, reliance on, or inability to use VBN or any privacy or security feature;
Any website, search engine, advertisement, tracker, third-party content, product, service, file, download, transaction, or other third-party material accessed through VBN;
Malware, phishing, scams, fraud, malicious websites, malicious downloads, hacking, identity theft, security incidents, or data breaches;
Any ad, tracker, script, fingerprinting method, identifier, or other tracking technology that is not detected, blocked, altered, randomized, or prevented;
Any website malfunction, blocked content, compatibility problem, failed login, payment issue, media problem, or other result of ad blocking, tracker blocking, Fingerprint Shield, HTTPS-Only Mode, or another App feature;
Any unauthorized access to VBN or Your device, including any failure or circumvention of Face ID, a PIN, Blur App Switcher, or other local access-control feature;
Any failure, delay, interruption, incomplete operation, or unintended result of Clear, Auto-Clear, session termination, or another deletion function;
Any retention, logging, observation, inference, interception, disclosure, or collection of Your activity by a website, search provider, internet service provider, network operator, operating system, app store, device service, or other third party;
Any loss, deletion, corruption, or unavailability of tabs, shortcuts, settings, downloads, temporary browsing information, or other local App data;
Any insecure, unavailable, invalid, misleading, compromised, or malicious website or HTTPS connection;
Any failure, delay, interruption, limitation, suspension, modification, or discontinuation of the Services or any feature; or
Any conduct or omission of a third party.
YOU EXPRESSLY UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, NEITHER WHATSGOODAPPS NOR ITS OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, DIRECTORS, SHAREHOLDERS, LICENSORS, SERVICE PROVIDERS, AFFILIATES, OR AGENTS WILL BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. IN NO EVENT WILL WHATSGOODAPPS’S TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL DAMAGES, LOSSES, OR CAUSES OF ACTION EXCEED THE GREATER OF (I) ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($100) OR (II) THE PRICE YOU PAID FOR THE SERVICE IN THE LAST TWELVE (12) MONTHS. IF YOU ARE MERELY DISSATISFIED WITH ANY PORTION OF THE SERVICES OR WITH THESE TERMS, YOUR SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY IS TO DISCONTINUE USE OF THE SERVICES, EXCEPT WHERE APPLICABLE LAW REQUIRES OTHERWISE.
Indemnification
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, You will indemnify, defend, and hold harmless WhatsGoodApps and its affiliates, shareholders, officers, directors, employees, agents, licensors, and representatives from and against claims, liabilities, damages, judgments, losses, costs, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising out of or relating to (a) Your unlawful or prohibited use of the Services, (b) websites, files, content, or services You choose to access, download, use, transmit, or interact with through VBN, (c) Your violation of these Terms, applicable law, or third-party rights, or (d) Your misuse of the Services. This obligation does not apply to the extent a claim results from conduct for which indemnification may not lawfully be required.
Dispute Resolution and Governing Law
ALL LEGAL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT (INCLUDING ANY DISPUTE REGARDING THE INTERPRETATION OR PERFORMANCE OF THE AGREEMENT) (“DISPUTE”) WILL BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, USA, EXCLUDING NEW YORK’S CONFLICTS-OF-LAWS RULES, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THAT APPLICABLE LAW REQUIRES OTHERWISE.
The parties will try in good faith to settle any Dispute within 30 days after the Dispute arises. If the Dispute is not resolved within 30 days, it shall be resolved by arbitration by the American Arbitration Association in accordance with its Expedited Commercial Rules in force as of the date of this Agreement (“Rules”), to the extent those Rules are applicable and enforceable. The parties will mutually select one arbitrator. The arbitration will be conducted in English in New York County, New York, USA, except where applicable law requires a different location or procedure.
Either party may apply to any competent court for injunctive relief necessary to protect its rights pending resolution of the arbitration. The arbitrator may order equitable or injunctive relief consistent with the remedies and limitations in this Agreement.
The arbitral award will be final and binding on the parties to the extent permitted by law, and its execution may be presented in any competent court, including any court with jurisdiction over either party or any of its property. Each party will bear its own lawyers’ and experts’ fees and expenses, regardless of the arbitrator’s final decision regarding the Dispute, except where applicable law or the Rules require otherwise.
App Store and Third-Party Platform Terms
Your download, purchase, subscription, and use of VBN may also be subject to the terms, policies, rules, and technical requirements of Apple, Google, or another authorized distribution platform. Where required, those platform terms apply in addition to these Terms. If a platform controls billing, subscription management, refunds, device-level authentication, or other platform functionality, We do not control that platform’s operation or decisions.
Force Majeure
Neither party will be liable for failure or delay in performance to the extent caused by circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including acts of God, natural disasters, terrorism, riots, pandemics, war, labor conditions, governmental actions, internet failures, network failures, app store outages, operating-system failures, third-party provider failures, or other events beyond Our reasonable control.
Waiver and Severability
If You do not comply with a portion of these Terms and We do not take action right away, this does not mean We are giving up any of Our rights under these Terms. If any part of these Terms is determined to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction or arbitrator, the remainder of the Terms shall remain in effect and be enforced to the maximum extent permitted by law.
Entire Agreement
These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any additional terms expressly presented to You for a particular feature or purchase, constitute the agreement between You and WhatsGoodApps concerning Your use of VBN and supersede prior or contemporaneous understandings concerning the same subject matter, except where applicable law provides otherwise.

Private Browsing, Sessions and Browsing History
VBN is designed not to retain Your browsing history after a browsing session ends.

References to “unlimited” browser tabs mean that VBN does not impose a predetermined numerical tab limit on Premium subscribers. The number of tabs that can actually remain open, load, refresh, or operate effectively may be limited by available device memory, storage, processor resources, operating-system restrictions, website behavior, network conditions, performance considerations, stability safeguards, abuse prevention, or other technical or practical limitations.

Auto-Clear
Auto-Clear is an optional Premium feature designed to automatically clear applicable VBN browsing data when a browsing session ends. As described above, a browsing session ends when all tabs are closed, when VBN is fully terminated, or when You use Clear. Auto-Clear is intended to delete open tabs, cookies and site data, downloads stored within VBN’s local app storage, and temporary browsing-history information.
Auto-Clear depends on the App and operating system being able to perform the applicable deletion operations. VBN cannot guarantee deletion of copies, caches, logs, backups, or records maintained outside VBN’s control. You should not rely on Auto-Clear as the sole means of protecting highly sensitive information.
Downloads
Downloads are a Premium feature. Files downloaded through VBN are stored within VBN’s local app storage. Downloaded files may persist during the current browsing session until they are deleted, cleared, or otherwise removed by the App. The Clear function and Auto-Clear are designed to delete downloaded files stored within VBN’s local app storage.
You are solely responsible for files You choose to download, open, view, or use. Downloaded files may contain malicious, deceptive, infringing, illegal, corrupted, incompatible, or otherwise harmful content. WhatsGoodApps does not review, scan, approve, or guarantee files offered by third-party websites and is not responsible for damage, loss, or other consequences arising from Your downloads.
Quick Access Shortcuts
VBN may allow You to create Quick Access shortcuts on the Home page to websites of Your choosing. Quick Access shortcuts and their destination URLs are stored locally on Your device. A shortcut is only a convenience link and does not mean that WhatsGoodApps operates, sponsors, endorses, recommends, is affiliated with, or assumes responsibility for the destination website.
You are responsible for selecting and maintaining Your shortcuts and for ensuring that any destination You access is appropriate and lawful. Websites may move, change, become unavailable, redirect to other locations, change ownership, or present content different from what was available when You created a shortcut.
Search Engines
VBN may allow You to select a search engine from supported choices, which may include DuckDuckGo, Startpage, Brave Search, and Bing. When You perform a search, the search query and information necessary to complete the request are transmitted to the search provider You selected. That provider’s own terms, privacy policy, systems, and practices apply to its services.
Search providers are independent third parties. WhatsGoodApps does not control or guarantee search results, ranking, completeness, availability, accuracy, privacy practices, security, advertising, or content provided by a search engine. The availability of particular search-engine choices may change from time to time. Inclusion of a search provider in VBN does not imply sponsorship, endorsement, or affiliation.
Privacy and Protection Counters
VBN may display counters or statistics such as the number of ads blocked, the number of trackers blocked, and “History Saved.” These counters are informational estimates based on VBN’s own local operation and should not be treated as complete measurements of all advertising, tracking, fingerprinting, or third-party data collection. Ad and tracker counters are stored only on the device and are designed to reset rather than serve as a permanent or account-based record.
“History Saved” refers to browsing history retained by VBN after the current browsing session and is designed to remain at zero because VBN does not retain persistent browsing history after a session ends. A value of zero does not mean that websites, search providers, internet service providers, network administrators, operating systems, or other third parties have not collected, observed, or retained information about Your activity.
Third-Party Websites, Content and Services
The central purpose of a web browser is to access third-party websites, content, and services. WhatsGoodApps does not own, operate, review, monitor, control, verify, endorse, or assume responsibility for websites or content You access through VBN. Third-party websites may have their own terms, privacy policies, tracking technologies, account systems, payment systems, advertising, security practices, and legal requirements.
Your interactions with third-party websites are solely between You and those third parties. WhatsGoodApps is not responsible for their availability, legality, accuracy, security, privacy, products, services, transactions, representations, conduct, malware, tracking, advertising, content, or any loss or harm arising from them. You are responsible for reviewing and complying with applicable third-party terms and policies.
No Guarantee of Anonymity, Security or Tracking Prevention
VBN provides privacy-oriented tools, but no browser can guarantee complete anonymity, confidentiality, security, or freedom from tracking. VBN does not guarantee that Your IP address, device characteristics, account identity, network activity, searches, website visits, browser behavior, or other information cannot be observed, inferred, intercepted, identified, associated, logged, or retained by third parties.
VBN does not guarantee protection against phishing, malware, malicious websites, fraud, scams, hacking, identity theft, tracking, fingerprinting, interception, compromised networks, compromised devices, malicious downloads, data breaches, or other online threats. You should exercise appropriate judgment and caution before entering passwords, payment details, personal information, confidential information, or other sensitive data on any website.
Prohibited Uses
You may not use the Services to:
Violate any applicable national, federal, state, local, or international law or regulation;
Infringe or violate intellectual-property, privacy, publicity, confidentiality, contractual, or other rights of any person or entity;
Gain or attempt to gain unauthorized access to an account, computer, device, server, service, website, network, or data;
Distribute, transmit, download, install, or use malware, malicious code, ransomware, spyware, destructive code, or other harmful material;
Conduct attacks, unauthorized scanning, credential theft, fraud, impersonation, or other malicious activity;
Use the Services to unlawfully circumvent access restrictions, technological protections, payment requirements, rights-management controls, or other lawful restrictions;
Interfere with, disrupt, overload, damage, or attempt to gain unauthorized access to VBN, Our systems, or services connected to VBN;
Reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, modify, or attempt to extract source code or underlying proprietary technology from the Services, except to the extent such restriction is prohibited by applicable law;
Bypass, manipulate, defeat, or misuse subscription checks, Premium restrictions, technical limits, or other access controls; or
Attempt to do any of the foregoing.
We may restrict or terminate access to the Services where reasonably necessary to protect the Services, comply with law or platform requirements, prevent abuse, or respond to a violation of these Terms.
Local Data, Device Changes and Data Loss
VBN is designed around local device storage and session-based browsing. Quick Access shortcuts, settings, downloads, temporary browsing information, and other locally stored App data may be lost if the App is deleted, local storage is cleared, the device is lost, damaged, reset, replaced, or restored, the operating system removes data, or other device-level events occur. VBN does not guarantee backup, synchronization, or recoverability of locally stored information.
You are responsible for maintaining separate copies of any downloaded material that You need to retain. Because Clear and Auto-Clear are designed to delete downloads stored within VBN’s local app storage, You should not use those functions if You intend to preserve a downloaded file within VBN.
Beta and Experimental Features
The App may offer beta, experimental, preview, or early-access features. Such features may be incomplete, unstable, unavailable, changed, limited, or discontinued at any time and may behave differently from generally available features. Beta or experimental features are provided as-is and should not be relied upon as a guaranteed privacy, security, or availability measure.
Intellectual Property
The Services, including the App’s software, design, interface, graphics, logos, trademarks, text, functionality, and other materials provided by WhatsGoodApps, are owned by or licensed to WhatsGoodApps and are protected by applicable intellectual-property laws. Except for the limited right to use the Services in accordance with these Terms, no rights are granted to You in the Services or Our intellectual property.
Third-party websites, search engines, trademarks, content, and services remain the property of their respective owners. References to third-party names or services are for identification and interoperability purposes and do not imply endorsement or affiliation unless expressly stated.
Disclaimer of Warranties
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, SECURITY, PRIVACY, ACCURACY, AVAILABILITY, OR ERROR-FREE OPERATION.
WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT VBN WILL MAKE YOU ANONYMOUS, BLOCK ALL ADS OR TRACKERS, PREVENT ALL FINGERPRINTING, PREVENT THIRD-PARTY LOGGING, IDENTIFY ALL MALICIOUS CONTENT, GUARANTEE SECURE CONNECTIONS, PREVENT UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS, CLEAR EVERY COPY OF DATA THAT MAY EXIST OUTSIDE THE APP, OR OPERATE WITHOUT INTERRUPTION, COMPATIBILITY ISSUES, OR ERRORS.

Any retention, logging, observation, inference, interception, disclosure, or collection of Your activity by a website, search provider, internet service provider, network operator, operating system, app store, device service, or other third party;
Any loss, deletion, corruption, or unavailability of tabs, shortcuts, settings, downloads, temporary browsing information, or other local App data;
Any insecure, unavailable, invalid, misleading, compromised, or malicious website or HTTPS connection;
Any failure, delay, interruption, limitation, suspension, modification, or discontinuation of the Services or any feature; or

YOU EXPRESSLY UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, NEITHER WHATSGOODAPPS NOR ITS OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, DIRECTORS, SHAREHOLDERS, LICENSORS, SERVICE PROVIDERS, AFFILIATES, OR AGENTS WILL BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. IN NO EVENT WILL WHATSGOODAPPS’S TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL DAMAGES, LOSSES, OR CAUSES OF ACTION EXCEED THE GREATER OF (I) ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($100) OR (II) THE PRICE YOU PAID FOR THE SERVICE IN THE LAST TWELVE (12) MONTHS. IF YOU ARE MERELY DISSATISFIED WITH ANY PORTION OF THE SERVICES OR WITH THESE TERMS, YOUR SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY IS TO DISCONTINUE USE OF THE SERVICES, EXCEPT WHERE APPLICABLE LAW REQUIRES OTHERWISE.
Indemnification
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, You will indemnify, defend, and hold harmless WhatsGoodApps and its affiliates, shareholders, officers, directors, employees, agents, licensors, and representatives from and against claims, liabilities, damages, judgments, losses, costs, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising out of or relating to (a) Your unlawful or prohibited use of the Services, (b) websites, files, content, or services You choose to access, download, use, transmit, or interact with through VBN, (c) Your violation of these Terms, applicable law, or third-party rights, or (d) Your misuse of the Services. This obligation does not apply to the extent a claim results from conduct for which indemnification may not lawfully be required.
Dispute Resolution and Governing Law
ALL LEGAL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT (INCLUDING ANY DISPUTE REGARDING THE INTERPRETATION OR PERFORMANCE OF THE AGREEMENT) (“DISPUTE”) WILL BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, USA, EXCLUDING NEW YORK’S CONFLICTS-OF-LAWS RULES, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THAT APPLICABLE LAW REQUIRES OTHERWISE.
The parties will try in good faith to settle any Dispute within 30 days after the Dispute arises. If the Dispute is not resolved within 30 days, it shall be resolved by arbitration by the American Arbitration Association in accordance with its Expedited Commercial Rules in force as of the date of this Agreement (“Rules”), to the extent those Rules are applicable and enforceable. The parties will mutually select one arbitrator. The arbitration will be conducted in English in New York County, New York, USA, except where applicable law requires a different location or procedure.
Either party may apply to any competent court for injunctive relief necessary to protect its rights pending resolution of the arbitration. The arbitrator may order equitable or injunctive relief consistent with the remedies and limitations in this Agreement.
The arbitral award will be final and binding on the parties to the extent permitted by law, and its execution may be presented in any competent court, including any court with jurisdiction over either party or any of its property. Each party will bear its own lawyers’ and experts’ fees and expenses, regardless of the arbitrator’s final decision regarding the Dispute, except where applicable law or the Rules require otherwise.
App Store and Third-Party Platform Terms
Your download, purchase, subscription, and use of VBN may also be subject to the terms, policies, rules, and technical requirements of Apple, Google, or another authorized distribution platform. Where required, those platform terms apply in addition to these Terms. If a platform controls billing, subscription management, refunds, device-level authentication, or other platform functionality, We do not control that platform’s operation or decisions.
Force Majeure
Neither party will be liable for failure or delay in performance to the extent caused by circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including acts of God, natural disasters, terrorism, riots, pandemics, war, labor conditions, governmental actions, internet failures, network failures, app store outages, operating-system failures, third-party provider failures, or other events beyond Our reasonable control.
Waiver and Severability
If You do not comply with a portion of these Terms and We do not take action right away, this does not mean We are giving up any of Our rights under these Terms. If any part of these Terms is determined to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction or arbitrator, the remainder of the Terms shall remain in effect and be enforced to the maximum extent permitted by law.
Entire Agreement
These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any additional terms expressly presented to You for a particular feature or purchase, constitute the agreement between You and WhatsGoodApps concerning Your use of VBN and supersede prior or contemporaneous understandings concerning the same subject matter, except where applicable law provides otherwise.
