These are the Terms of Service that govern your access to and use of SeenShift. In these Terms, “SeenShift”, “we”, “us”, and “our” refer to Functioning System by Jérémie Cotti, the operator of the service, whose registered contact address is “Functioning System, c/o cotti.law, Via A. Franzoni 29, 6600 Locarno, Switzerland”. These Terms were last updated on 31 August 2026, and they apply from the moment you access or use the service.
(1) You accept these Terms by using SeenShift. By creating an account, joining the waitlist, submitting a form, or otherwise accessing or using the service in any way, you confirm that you have read these Terms, that you understand them, and that you agree to be bound by them. If you do not agree with any part of these Terms, you must not access or use the service. If you use the service on behalf of an organisation, you confirm that you are authorised to accept these Terms on that organisation’s behalf, and in that case the words you and your refer to that organisation.
(2) In these Terms, the following defined words have the meanings given to them here, and each one keeps that meaning wherever it appears with a capital letter.
“Service” means the SeenShift website, the signed-in application, the automated agent that retrieves pages on your behalf, and every related feature that we make available.
“User”, and also “you” and “your”, mean any person or organisation that accesses or uses the Service.
“Account” means the profile and sign-in credentials that you create in order to use the signed-in parts of the Service.
“Monitor” means something you create, made up of a public page address together with a description, written by you, of the change you want the Service to watch for.
“Alert” means an email or other message that the Service sends you when a Monitor’s conditions appear to be met.
“Result” means any Alert, any finding about a monitored page, and any other output that the Service produces for you.
“Subprocessor” means a third party that processes data on our behalf so that we can provide the Service, as listed in our subprocessor list.
(3) SeenShift watches public web pages for you and tries to tell you when they change. You create a Monitor by giving the Service a public page address and a description of what to watch for, and the Service then checks that page on a schedule and compares it against your description. We may change, add, or remove features of the Service from time to time as it develops. The nature of automated monitoring means that the behaviour, the accuracy, and the availability of the Service can vary, and you accept the Service as it is provided.
(4) The Service is assistive and its Results can be wrong. SeenShift is an assistive tool and nothing more. It works by retrieving pages automatically and by interpreting them automatically, and both of those steps can be wrong. The Service can miss a change that did happen, it can report a change that did not happen, it can misread the meaning of a page, it can read the wrong value from a page, it can work from a stale or incomplete copy of a page, it can fail to check a page at all, and it can send you an Alert that turns out to be inaccurate or send you no Alert when one would have been warranted. Its Results are automated estimates offered for your convenience rather than statements of verified fact. You accept that every Result is provisional, that no Result is guaranteed to be correct, complete, or timely, and that we make no promise about the accuracy or reliability of any Result.
(5) You must not rely on the Service as the sole basis for a decision. Because the Service is assistive and can be wrong, you agree that you will not treat any Result as the sole or decisive basis for any decision, and that you will independently verify anything that matters to you before you act on it. You agree in particular that you will not rely on the Service as the only input to a decision that carries financial, legal, medical, safety, security, employment, reputational, or other significant consequences, and that the Service is not a substitute for professional judgement or professional advice of any kind. You accept full responsibility for every decision you make and for every action you take or do not take, whether or not a Result of the Service influenced it, and you accept that we are not responsible for the consequences of your reliance on any Result.
(6) You need an account to use the signed-in service, and you must be old enough to enter into these Terms. To use the signed-in parts of the Service you must create an Account and provide a valid email address, and you may sign in using an email link or using a supported sign-in provider. You are responsible for keeping your Account and your email inbox secure, and you are responsible for everything that happens through your Account. You must be old enough under the law of the country where you live to use the Service and to agree to these Terms, and where that law sets no such age, you must be at least eighteen years old. You must not use the Service if any law that applies to you prohibits it. You agree to give accurate information when you register and to keep it current.
(7) You must use the Service lawfully and only for pages you are allowed to monitor. You agree to use the Service only for lawful purposes and only in the way these Terms permit. You agree to monitor only pages that are lawfully available to the public and that you are permitted to access and to monitor, and you agree not to use the Service to reach any page or data that you are not authorised to reach. You agree not to use the Service to infringe the rights of anyone, to harass or harm anyone, to collect personal data unlawfully, to get around an access control or a paywall, to place an unreasonable load on any website, or to do anything illegal or anything these Terms forbid. You agree not to disrupt, overload, reverse engineer, probe, or gain unauthorised access to the Service or to any connected system, and not to defeat, evade, or interfere with any security, rate-limiting, or anti-abuse measure the Service uses. You accept that the Service respects the published crawling rules of the sites it visits, that you cannot override this, and that a Monitor may stop running when a site’s rules disallow it.
(8) You are responsible for the Monitors you create and the pages you point them at. You are responsible for every Monitor you create, for every address and description you provide, and for making sure that monitoring a given page is lawful and permitted. You confirm that you have the right to submit each address and description you provide, and that your monitoring of a page does not break any law, any contract, any website terms, or any right of anyone else. You grant us the limited right to use what you submit only in order to run the Service for you, which means checking the pages you name and producing and sending you the Results you asked for. You keep whatever rights you already hold in what you submit, and we claim no ownership of it.
(9) Some features are paid, and payments are handled by Lemon Squeezy. Some features of the Service may require a paid subscription, and where they do, the prices and plan limits are those shown to you at the time of purchase. Payments and subscriptions are handled by Lemon Squeezy, which acts as the merchant of record, which means that Lemon Squeezy is the seller of record and processes your payment and card details directly. We do not receive or store your full card details. By buying a subscription you also agree to any terms Lemon Squeezy shows you at checkout. You may cancel a subscription through the controls the Service provides, and unless a mandatory law or a stated policy says otherwise, fees already paid are not refundable and a cancellation takes effect at the end of the period already paid for. We may change our prices for future periods, and where we do, we will make the new prices available before they apply to you.
(10) Email is how the Service reaches you, and some of it you cannot switch off. By using the Service you agree that we may send you email, and you accept that email is the main way the Service reaches you. These messages are the sign-in and account messages, the Alerts you asked a Monitor to send, and the service messages about your Account, your subscription, security, and important changes to the Service. Because these messages are needed in order to provide the Service you asked for, they are not marketing, and you cannot opt out of them while you hold an Account, although you can stop Alerts by pausing or deleting the Monitors that generate them, and you can stop everything by deleting your Account. We will send genuine marketing email only where the law allows it or where you asked for it, and you may withdraw that consent at any time. You accept that email delivery depends on networks and providers outside our control, that a message can be delayed, filtered, or lost, and that you must not treat the arrival or the absence of an email as a guarantee about any monitored page.
(11) Public forms use Cloudflare Turnstile to keep out automated abuse. Parts of the Service that are open to the public are protected by an automated verification check from Cloudflare called Turnstile, which tells genuine visitors apart from automated abuse. When you use a protected form, your browser communicates with Cloudflare so the check can run, and that is subject to Cloudflare’s own terms and privacy practices as well as ours. You agree not to bypass, automate, defeat, or interfere with this check or with any other anti-abuse or rate-limiting measure the Service uses, and you accept that we may refuse, slow, or block a request that fails verification or that looks abusive.
(12) The Service relies on third parties, and they operate under their own terms. The Service depends on third parties that process data on our behalf so that we can run it. Our subprocessor list names these providers and says what each one does, and our privacy policy explains how personal data is handled. You accept that these third parties operate under their own terms, that we do not control them, and that we are not responsible for their acts or omissions beyond our own obligations under data protection law. The Service may also link to or interact with websites we do not operate, and we are not responsible for the content, accuracy, or practices of any such website.
(13) We own the Service, and you get a limited permission to use it. The Service, together with its software, its design, its text, and its branding, and every right in it, belongs to us or to our licensors, and nothing in these Terms transfers any of those rights to you. We grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, and revocable permission to use the Service in line with these Terms, and you agree not to copy, modify, distribute, sell, lease, or create derivative works from any part of the Service except where the law expressly allows it despite this restriction. You agree not to remove or hide any notice of ownership the Service shows.
(14) We do not promise that the Service is always available, and we may change it. We provide the Service on a reasonable-effort basis, and we do not promise that it will be available without interruption, that it will be free of errors, or that any fault will be fixed. We may change, suspend, limit, or discontinue the Service or any part of it at any time, with or without notice, and we may set or change limits on how you use it. We may also carry out maintenance that makes the Service temporarily unavailable. You accept that a monitored page can change or disappear at any time, that a site can block automated access, and that any of these can stop the Service from producing a Result.
(15) The Service and its Results come with no warranty. To the fullest extent the law allows, the Service and every Result are provided as they stand and as they are available, with no warranty of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory. We expressly disclaim all implied warranties of any kind. We do not warrant that the Service will meet your needs, that it will be uninterrupted, secure, timely, or error-free, or that any Result will be accurate, complete, current, or dependable. Where the law does not allow a given warranty to be excluded, that warranty is limited to the smallest extent the law permits, and nothing here excludes anything the law says cannot be excluded.
(16) Our liability to you is limited. To the fullest extent the law allows, we, together with anyone acting on our behalf, will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, punitive, or exemplary loss, and we will not be liable for any loss of profit, revenue, business, goodwill, data, or opportunity, whether or not the loss was foreseeable and whether the claim is based on contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, or any other theory. In particular, we will not be liable for any loss or harm that results from your reliance on any Result, from a missed change, from an inaccurate Alert, from a delayed or undelivered Alert, from the Service being unavailable, or from the acts or omissions of a monitored website or a third party. To the fullest extent the law allows, our total liability arising out of or relating to the Service and these Terms will not exceed the total amount you actually paid us for the Service in the twelve months before the event that gave rise to the claim, and where you paid us nothing in that period, our liability is limited to the fullest extent the law allows. Nothing in these Terms limits or excludes any liability that the law does not allow us to limit or exclude, and where a mandatory consumer law gives you rights these Terms cannot restrict, those rights continue to apply.
(17) You cover us for claims that arise from your use or your breach. To the extent the law allows, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold us harmless from any claim, demand, loss, liability, cost, or expense, together with reasonable legal fees, that arises out of or relates to your use of the Service, what you submit, your breach of these Terms, your breach of any law, or your infringement of anyone’s rights. We may take over the defence of any matter you are required to indemnify, and if we do, you agree to cooperate with us.
(18) Either of us may end your use of the Service. You may stop using the Service at any time, and you may delete your Account through the controls the Service provides, and where a subscription is active you must cancel it before you can delete the Account. We may suspend or end your access to the Service, in whole or in part, with or without notice, if we reasonably believe that you have breached these Terms, that your use puts the Service or others at risk, that it is needed to comply with the law, or that we are discontinuing the Service. When your access ends, your right to use the Service ends, and the parts of these Terms that by their nature should continue to apply do so.
(19) Our privacy policy is part of your agreement with us. How we handle personal data is described in our privacy policy, which forms part of your agreement with us, and the third parties that process data for us are listed in our subprocessor list. By using the Service you confirm that you have read our privacy policy. Where you give us the personal data of other people, you confirm that you are allowed to do so and that you have any consent the law requires.
(20) We may change these Terms. We may update these Terms from time to time, and when we do, we will change the last updated date above and make the revised Terms available on this page. Where a change is important, we will bring it to your attention by email or by a notice in the Service. If you keep using the Service after a change takes effect, you accept the revised Terms, and if you do not accept them, you must stop using the Service.
(21) These Terms are governed by the law of Lausanne, Switzerland. These Terms, and any dispute arising out of or relating to them or to the Service, are governed by the law of Lausanne, Switzerland, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules, and the courts of Lausanne, Switzerland have jurisdiction over any such dispute, except where a mandatory law gives you the right to bring proceedings, or requires proceedings to be brought against you, where you live. Before starting formal proceedings, you agree to contact us so we can try to resolve the matter informally and in good faith.
(22) These Terms are the entire agreement between you and us about the Service. Together with the privacy policy and the subprocessor list they refer to, they replace any earlier agreement or understanding on the same subject. If any part of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, that part is limited or removed only as far as necessary and the rest stays in full force. If we do not enforce a provision, that is not a waiver of our right to enforce it later. You may not assign or transfer your rights or obligations under these Terms without our prior written consent, while we may assign ours in connection with a merger, an acquisition, or a transfer of the Service, as long as your rights are not materially reduced. Nothing in these Terms creates a partnership, an agency, or an employment relationship between you and us.
(23) You can reach us by email. If you have a question about these Terms, or need to contact us for any reason these Terms mention, email hello@seenshift.app and describe your request, and we will reply within a reasonable time.
