LucidRows Terms of Use
These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the LucidRows Chrome extension, the website at https://lucidrows.com, and related materials (together, the “Service”). The Service is operated by the individual operator of LucidRows (“we,” “us,” or “LucidRows”).
By installing, accessing, or using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not install or use LucidRows.
1. Acceptance of Terms
You accept these Terms when you install the LucidRows extension, create or run a recipe, export data, or otherwise use the Service, or when you browse the LucidRows website in a manner that relies on these Terms where required by law. If you use the Service on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization, and “you” includes that organization.
2. Description of the Service
LucidRows is a local-first, point-and-click tool that helps you extract structured data from web pages in your own browser. Among other things, you may:
- Select page elements to define extraction patterns (“recipes”)
- Preview and edit extracted rows
- Walk pagination or load-more style feeds where the page supports it
- Export data as CSV or JSON to your device
- Save recipes locally in Chrome storage
Important: LucidRows runs on your device. We do not operate a scraping cloud that fetches third-party sites on your behalf. You choose which pages to visit, which data to extract, and how to use exported files. Scraping decisions and compliance obligations are yours.
The Service may change over time. We do not promise that any particular website will remain compatible with LucidRows.
3. Eligibility and Age
You must be able to form a binding contract under applicable law. The Service is not directed to children. You must be at least 16 years old (or the age of digital consent / majority in your jurisdiction, if higher) to use LucidRows. If you are under the required age, do not use the Service.
4. License Grant
Subject to these Terms, we grant you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to install and use the LucidRows extension and to access the LucidRows website for your own lawful purposes.
You do not receive ownership of the Service. We (and our licensors) retain all rights not expressly granted. You may not sell, sublicense, or commercially redistribute the extension except as allowed by the Chrome Web Store or with our prior written permission.
5. Acceptable Use
You agree to use the Service only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms. Without limiting the foregoing, you must not:
- Violate third-party rules. Scrape, extract, or reuse content in violation of a target website’s terms of service, robots.txt or similar directives, acceptable-use policies, or contractual restrictions that apply to you.
- Infringe intellectual property. Copy, scrape, or distribute copyrighted material, trademarks, or other proprietary content except where you have a lawful right (for example, a license, permission, or applicable exception under law).
- Misuse personal data. Collect, scrape, store, or process personal data (including names, contact details, identifiers, or special-category data) unless you have a lawful basis under applicable privacy laws (such as Israel’s Protection of Privacy Law, the EU/UK GDPR, or other rules that apply to you) and you honor data-subject rights and security duties.
- Bypass access controls. Use LucidRows to circumvent paywalls, logins, authentication, authorization, CAPTCHAs, rate limits, IP blocks, or other technical or contractual access controls without authorization from the site owner or other rights holder.
- Attack or harm others. Use the Service to probe, overload, disrupt, or damage any website, network, or system; to distribute malware; or to harass, defraud, or harm any person.
- Illegal content and activity. Use the Service in connection with illegal content, sanctions evasion, exploitation, or any activity that is unlawful where you use the Service.
- Reverse engineering beyond the law. Reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract source code from LucidRows except to the limited extent that applicable law expressly permits despite this restriction.
- Misrepresent affiliation. Imply that LucidRows or its operator endorses, is affiliated with, or is authorized by any third-party website you scrape.
- Abuse distribution channels. Interfere with Chrome Web Store review, post misleading listings about LucidRows, or use the Service in ways that cause us to violate Google’s policies.
You are solely responsible for configuring recipes, respecting site rate and volume norms, and securing exported files on your device.
6. User Responsibility and Risk Allocation
You control scraping. You decide which URLs to open, which fields to pick, whether to paginate, and what to do with exports. We do not review your recipes or scraped data (and, in normal operation, we cannot see them on your device).
You assume all risk arising from:
- Your compliance (or non-compliance) with third-party terms and laws
- The accuracy, legality, and quality of data you extract
- Loss or disclosure of data stored or exported on your device
- Actions taken by third-party sites (blocks, bans, legal claims against you)
If a third party brings a claim related to your use of LucidRows, that dispute is primarily between you and that third party, subject to Section 7 (Indemnification) and applicable law.
7. Indemnification
To the maximum extent permitted by law, you will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the operator of LucidRows and their agents from and against any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or related to:
- Your use or misuse of the Service
- Your scraping, extraction, storage, or distribution of data
- Your violation of these Terms or of any law or third-party right
- Your content, recipes, or exports
We may participate in the defense with counsel of our choosing at our own expense. You will not settle any claim that imposes obligations on us without our prior written consent.
8. Disclaimers
The Service is provided “AS IS” and “AS AVAILABLE.” To the maximum extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, whether express, implied, or statutory, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement, and any warranties arising from course of dealing or usage of trade.
Without limiting the foregoing, we do not warrant that:
- The Service will be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free
- The Service will work on any particular website or after site changes
- Results will be accurate, complete, or lawful for your purpose
- The Service will not interfere with other software or extensions
Some jurisdictions do not allow certain disclaimers. In those places, disclaimers apply to the fullest extent permitted.
9. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, the operator of LucidRows will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill, or business opportunity, arising out of or related to the Service or these Terms, whether based in contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability, or otherwise, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total aggregate liability for all claims arising out of or related to the Service or these Terms will not exceed the greater of: (a) the amounts you paid to us for the Service in the twelve (12) months before the claim; or (b) fifty US dollars (USD $50). If you have never paid us, the cap is USD $50.
These limits are a fundamental part of the bargain and apply even if any remedy fails of its essential purpose. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law (including liability for fraud or willful misconduct, or non-waivable consumer rights).
10. No Professional Advice
LucidRows is a software tool. Nothing in the Service or on the website is legal, compliance, privacy, financial, or other professional advice. You should obtain advice from qualified professionals about whether and how you may scrape or use data for your situation.
11. Third-Party Websites and Google Chrome Web Store
Third-party websites. The Service interacts with websites and content we do not own or control. Those sites have their own terms and privacy policies. We are not responsible for third-party sites, their availability, their content, or their treatment of you. Your dealings with third parties are solely between you and them.
Chrome Web Store / Google. LucidRows may be distributed through the Chrome Web Store, operated by Google. Google’s terms, policies, and privacy notices apply to your use of Chrome and the Web Store. We are not affiliated with Google, and Google is not responsible for LucidRows. If Google removes or restricts the extension, your license under these Terms may end for that distribution channel without liability to us beyond what these Terms allow.
12. Intellectual Property
LucidRows name, logos, website, documentation, and extension code and design are owned by the operator of LucidRows or its licensors and are protected by intellectual property laws. Except for the limited license in Section 4, no rights are granted to you.
Feedback you provide about the Service may be used by us without obligation to you.
13. Privacy
Our handling of information is described in the LucidRows Privacy Policy. The Privacy Policy explains that the extension is designed so recipes and scraped data stay on your device. The marketing website may load limited third-party resources (such as fonts) as described there. By using the Service, you also acknowledge the Privacy Policy.
14. Termination
You may stop using LucidRows at any time by uninstalling the extension and ceasing use of the website.
We may suspend or terminate your license or access to the Service (including by removing or disabling the extension or site materials) at any time if we reasonably believe you violated these Terms, if required by law or platform rules, or if we discontinue the Service. On termination, the license in Section 4 ends. Sections that by nature should survive (including Acceptable Use acknowledgements, indemnification, disclaimers, limitations of liability, IP, and governing law) will survive.
15. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. We will change the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. Material changes may also be highlighted on the website or Chrome Web Store listing when practical. Continued use of the Service after the updated Terms become effective constitutes acceptance, except where applicable law requires a different method of consent. If you do not agree, uninstall LucidRows and stop using the Service.
16. Governing Law and Venue
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Israel, without regard to conflict-of-law rules that would require another jurisdiction’s laws.
Subject to mandatory consumer protections that cannot be waived, you and we agree that the courts located in Tel Aviv-Yafo, Israel (or, where those courts lack subject-matter jurisdiction, the competent courts of Israel) will have exclusive jurisdiction over disputes arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service.
Note: If you are a consumer living outside Israel, mandatory laws in your country of residence may give you additional rights or require a different forum. Those non-waivable rights remain available to you. Enforceability of Israeli venue and liability limits may vary for consumers abroad.
17. Severability
If any provision of these Terms is held unenforceable, it will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, or if modification is not possible, severed. The remaining provisions will continue in full force.
18. Entire Agreement
These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any notices we provide in the extension or on the website, are the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Service and supersede prior understandings on that subject. Failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms without our consent; we may assign them in connection with a reorganization, sale of assets, or similar transaction.
