1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing, browsing, or using StatusDrop ("the Service"), operated at statusdrop.dev, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you are entering into these Terms on behalf of a company or other legal entity, you represent that you have the authority to bind such entity to these Terms. If you do not agree with any part of these Terms, you must not access or use the Service. Your continued use of the Service following the posting of any changes to these Terms constitutes acceptance of those changes.

2. Description of Service

StatusDrop is a software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform that provides:

Embeddable status widgets that display real-time health information of third-party services on your website.
Hosted status pages accessible at statusdrop.dev/s/your-slug (or via custom domain for Pro users) showing aggregated service health data.
A visual widget builder for configuring widget templates, themes, and display options.
A pre-integrated service catalog of 550+ popular third-party services with automated status monitoring.
Webhook notifications (Slack, Discord, Telegram) and email alerts for status changes (Pro plan).

StatusDrop monitors publicly available status page APIs and aggregates this information for display. We do not provide uptime monitoring of your own infrastructure; rather, we track the health of the third-party services your application depends on.

3. Account Registration

To use the Service, you must create an account through our authentication provider, Clerk. By registering, you agree to:

Provide accurate, current, and complete information during the registration process.
Maintain and promptly update your account information to keep it accurate and complete.
Maintain the security and confidentiality of your account credentials.
Accept responsibility for all activities that occur under your account.
Notify us immediately at support@statusdrop.dev if you become aware of any unauthorized use of your account.

You must be at least 16 years of age to create an account and use the Service. One person or legal entity may not maintain more than one free account. We reserve the right to refuse registration or cancel accounts at our discretion.

4. Subscription Plans and Billing

StatusDrop offers two subscription tiers:

Free Plan: Includes 1 service stack, up to 3 services per stack, service request submissions, 1 widget template (Minimal), light/dark/auto themes, 5-minute check intervals, 7-day status history, and a "Powered by StatusDrop" badge on all widgets and status pages.

Pro Plan ($14.99/month, or $99.99/year): Includes up to 10 service stacks, unlimited services per stack, unlimited custom URLs, all widget templates and themes, 1-minute check intervals, 90-day status history, Slack/Discord webhook notifications, email alerts, custom CNAME for status pages, optional removal of the "Powered by StatusDrop" badge, and access to the full widget builder.

Feature limits are enforced as described on our pricing page at statusdrop.dev/pricing. We reserve the right to modify plan features or pricing at any time, with at least 30 days advance notice for existing subscribers.

5. Payment Terms

All payments for the Pro plan are processed through Stripe via our authentication and billing provider, Clerk. By subscribing to the Pro plan, you agree to:

Provide valid and current payment information through the Stripe checkout process.
Authorize recurring charges at the applicable subscription rate (monthly or annual).
Ensure sufficient funds or credit are available for each billing cycle.

All fees are quoted and charged in US Dollars (USD). Prices are exclusive of applicable taxes, which will be added where required by law. Failed payments may result in suspension of Pro features until payment is resolved. We do not store your payment card details directly; all payment data is handled securely by Stripe.

6. Cancellation and Refunds

You may cancel your Pro subscription at any time through your dashboard settings or by contacting us at support@statusdrop.dev. Upon cancellation:

Your Pro features will remain active until the end of the current billing period.
At the end of the billing period, your account will revert to the Free plan with its associated limitations.
If your usage exceeds Free plan limits (e.g., multiple stacks or more than 5 services per stack), you will need to remove excess resources or they may become inaccessible.

Refunds are generally not provided for partial billing periods. If you believe you have been incorrectly charged, please contact us at support@statusdrop.dev within 14 days of the charge, and we will review your case. We may, at our sole discretion, issue refunds or credits in exceptional circumstances.

8. Intellectual Property

The Service, including all content, features, functionality, software, code, designs, text, graphics, logos, and trademarks, is owned by StatusDrop and is protected by international copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret, and other intellectual property laws.

9. Widget Embed Usage

The StatusDrop embeddable widget is provided as a JavaScript bundle served from statusdrop.dev/widget.js. By embedding the widget on your website, you agree to the following:

The widget will make periodic requests to our API (approximately every 60 seconds) to fetch updated status data for your configured services.
You are responsible for ensuring the widget embed code is placed correctly on your site and does not interfere with your site's functionality.
Free plan users must display the "Powered by StatusDrop" badge. Removing, hiding, or obscuring this badge via CSS, JavaScript, or any other method is a violation of these Terms and may result in account suspension.
We do not guarantee that the widget will be compatible with all websites, browsers, or content management systems.
You must not modify the widget source code, intercept its API calls, or cache its responses outside of normal browser caching behavior.

10. Data and Privacy

Your use of the Service is also governed by our Privacy Policy, available at statusdrop.dev/privacy. Please review it carefully. By using the Service, you consent to the collection and processing of data as described in our Privacy Policy.
