Terms of Service
Effective date: November 12, 2026. Operated by William Skipper.
1. Service Description & Zero-Knowledge Model
tark-pass provides a zero-knowledge credential storage and synchronisation service. By creating an account, you acknowledge that all encryption and decryption keys are derived entirely on your local device. The operator has no technical ability to reset your Master Password or recover encrypted records if you lose your credentials.
2. User Responsibility & Backups
You are exclusively responsible for safeguarding your Master Password. We strongly advise users to maintain regular local unencrypted or encrypted backups (using our built-in CSV/JSON export tools) stored in a secure physical location.
3. Service Availability & Subscription Model
tark-pass operates on a subscription model to support continuous hosting, infrastructure security, and software maintenance. We do not sell user data or run advertisements. While we strive for 99.9% uptime and maintain automated daily database backups, the service is provided “as is” without warranties of any kind.
4. Discontinuation & Continuity Guarantee
If the operator ever decides to retire or shut down the tark-pass service, a public announcement will be issued with at least 90 days advance notice. Users will be given full prompts to export all stored credentials in open, standard formats with zero vendor lock-in.
5. Acceptable Use
You agree not to use tark-pass for automated denial-of-service attempts, credential stuffing, brute-force attacks against other accounts, or illegal activities that compromise the integrity of the host server. Rate limits and defensive firewalls are strictly enforced.
6. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the operator shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages resulting from lost master passwords, browser cache corruption, device theft, or service downtime.
