To use Store Shield, you must:

4Your Account & Store Access

Store Shield accesses your Shopify store using OAuth authorization granted through the Shopify App Store installation process. By installing the app, you grant Store Shield permission to:

You are responsible for maintaining the security of your Shopify account. Any whitelist rules or configuration changes made through the Store Shield interface are your responsibility. If you suspect unauthorized access, contact us immediately.

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your access to Store Shield if we determine, in our sole discretion, that you have violated this acceptable use policy.

7Bot Blocking & False Positives

Important: No bot detection system is perfect. While Store Shield achieves industry-leading accuracy, there is a small possibility that legitimate visitors may be incorrectly identified as bots (false positives). We strongly recommend reviewing your whitelist settings and monitoring your dashboard regularly.

By using Store Shield, you acknowledge and agree that:

Store Shield does not guarantee the blocking of all bot traffic. Sophisticated bots that closely mimic human behavior may occasionally evade detection. We continuously update our detection models to improve coverage.

8Intellectual Property

The Store Shield application, including its code, algorithms, design, trademarks, and documentation, is owned by Store Shield and protected by intellectual property laws. Nothing in these Terms grants you any right, title, or interest in the Service beyond the limited license to use it as provided herein.

You retain full ownership of your store data. By using Store Shield, you grant us a limited, non-exclusive license to process your store's traffic data solely for the purpose of providing the bot blocking service.

9Disclaimers & Limitation of Liability

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT.

WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT:
