Effective Date: 24 September 2026

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of SkipZS ("SkipZS", "we", "us", or "our"), operated by Vijay V S, an individual developer and sole founder.

By installing, accessing, purchasing, pre-booking, or using SkipZS or a related SkipZS service, you agree to these Terms to the extent permitted by applicable law.

1. About SkipZS

SkipZS is a browser-based software product and toolkit designed to provide practical browser utilities.

The current SkipZS Chrome extension includes features such as:

YouTube Auto Skip;
Trusted Auto Skip;
Media Booster;
File Sharing;
settings and customization;
keyboard shortcuts;
local usage statistics; and
related utility and support functionality.

The exact features available to you may depend on the version of SkipZS, your browser, supported websites, device, operating system, permissions, and third-party platform behavior.

2. Eligibility

SkipZS is intended for users 16 years of age or older.

If you are under 18, you must have the permission and involvement of a parent or legal guardian where required.

This requirement is particularly relevant to purchases, pre-booking offers, subscriptions, or other transactions involving payment.

You are responsible for ensuring that your use of SkipZS complies with the age and legal-capacity requirements applicable to you.

If applicable law imposes a different or additional requirement, that requirement takes precedence.

3. Acceptance of These Terms

By using SkipZS, you acknowledge that you have read and understood these Terms.

For certain features, SkipZS may present additional consent or authorization screens.

For example, Trusted Auto Skip requires separate authorization before its debugger-based functionality can be used.

Additional terms may also apply to particular commercial offers, purchases, or third-party services.

Where an applicable offer or service presents additional terms, those terms may supplement these Terms for that particular product or transaction.

4. License to Use SkipZS

Subject to these Terms, SkipZS provides you with a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, and revocable right to use the software and services for their intended purposes.

This license does not transfer ownership of SkipZS or its intellectual property to you.

You may not represent SkipZS as your own software, redistribute proprietary SkipZS materials as your own product, or use SkipZS in a manner that violates these Terms or applicable law.

5. Ownership and Intellectual Property

SkipZS, including its software, interface, branding, original content, design, documentation, and other materials created or provided by SkipZS, is owned by or licensed to the operator, except where third-party rights apply.

Nothing in these Terms transfers ownership of SkipZS intellectual property to you.

Third-party software, libraries, services, trademarks, and technologies remain subject to their respective owners' rights and applicable licenses.

The name SkipZS and associated branding may not be used in a way that falsely suggests endorsement, sponsorship, affiliation, or ownership by another person or company.

6. Acceptable Use

You agree to use SkipZS responsibly and only for lawful purposes.

You must not use SkipZS to:

violate applicable laws or regulations;
infringe another person's intellectual-property, privacy, or other legal rights;
distribute files or content that you do not have the right to share;
knowingly distribute illegal content;
interfere with or disrupt SkipZS or its supporting systems;
attempt to bypass security or access controls;
attempt to gain unauthorized access to systems, devices, or accounts;
abuse permissions granted to the extension;
intentionally interfere with another user's device or network;
use SkipZS to facilitate harmful or unlawful activity; or
otherwise misuse the software or its functionality.

We may restrict or discontinue access to particular functionality when reasonably necessary for security, legal, technical, or operational reasons.

7. Auto Skip

SkipZS's Auto Skip feature is designed to identify eligible YouTube advertisements and interact with available Skip controls.

Auto Skip depends on the structure and behavior of YouTube.

YouTube may change its website, player, advertisement systems, interface, controls, or technical behavior at any time.

Accordingly, SkipZS does not guarantee that every advertisement will be detected or skipped.

Auto Skip should be understood as an automated convenience feature, not as a guarantee of a particular YouTube experience.

You remain responsible for complying with YouTube's applicable terms and policies when using YouTube.

8. Trusted Auto Skip

Trusted Auto Skip is an optional SkipZS feature that uses Chrome's debugger capability to perform a native mouse interaction when ordinary webpage interaction may not be sufficient.

You must separately authorize this feature before it can operate.

You can revoke that authorization through the available SkipZS controls.

By authorizing Trusted Auto Skip, you acknowledge that the feature uses a more privileged Chrome browser capability than ordinary webpage interaction.

Trusted Auto Skip is restricted by the SkipZS implementation to eligible YouTube targets and includes validation intended to prevent unintended debugger interactions.

You should only enable this feature if you understand and accept its operation.

9. Media Booster

Media Booster allows you to increase the audio level of supported browser-tab media.

The feature processes captured tab audio through browser audio-processing functionality.

Audio behavior may vary depending on:

your browser;
device;
operating system;
website;
media player;
audio source;
original recording quality;
browser audio behavior; and
other technical conditions.

Increasing audio amplification may affect sound quality or produce distortion depending on the source and device.

SkipZS does not guarantee a particular audio result.

10. File Sharing

SkipZS provides a File Sharing feature that implements a LocalSend-compatible transfer protocol.

The feature allows you to receive files from a peer device that you select or connect to.

10.1 Your Responsibility for the Recipient

You are responsible for choosing the peer device, address, network, and recipient with which you initiate a transfer.

Before accepting a transfer, you should verify that the connection is with the intended device.

Do not use File Sharing with devices, addresses, or networks that you do not trust.

10.2 Files You Receive

You are responsible for the files you choose to receive and retain on your device.

SkipZS does not guarantee that files received through File Sharing are safe, accurate, lawful, malware-free, or suitable for your device.

You should use appropriate security software and exercise reasonable caution when opening files received from another device.

10.3 Network Conditions

File transfers may fail, be delayed, interrupted, or become unavailable because of:

network conditions;
firewall settings;
device availability;
browser behavior;
operating-system restrictions;
permissions;
service-worker lifecycle;
peer configuration;
incompatible LocalSend implementations; or
other technical conditions.

SkipZS does not guarantee successful completion of every transfer.

10.4 Security of File Transfers

The current SkipZS File Sharing implementation uses HTTP peer communication rather than TLS-encrypted HTTPS transport.

A pairing PIN may be used to verify a transfer session, but the PIN is not a substitute for transport-layer encryption.

You should therefore use trusted devices and networks when using File Sharing.

10.5 Responsibility for Shared Content

You must have the necessary rights and permissions to transfer any file or content using SkipZS.

You must not use File Sharing to distribute unlawful content, copyrighted material that you do not have the right to distribute, malicious software, or other material whose transfer would violate applicable law or another person's rights.

11. Third-Party Platforms and Services

SkipZS is an independent product.

SkipZS is not operated by, affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by:

Google;
YouTube;
Google Chrome;
LocalSend; or
third-party payment providers.

Your use of third-party services remains subject to their respective terms, policies, and requirements.

This includes, where applicable:

YouTube;
Google Chrome;
the LocalSend application;
payment providers;
hosting services;
websites accessed through SkipZS; and
other third-party applications or services you choose to use.

You are responsible for reviewing and complying with the applicable third-party terms.

12. LocalSend

SkipZS uses a LocalSend-compatible protocol implementation for its File Sharing functionality.

If you separately download or use the LocalSend application, that application is a separate third-party product.

Your use of the LocalSend application is subject to the terms, privacy policy, licenses, and other conditions applicable to LocalSend.

SkipZS does not control the independent operation, policies, availability, or practices of the LocalSend application.

You should review the applicable LocalSend terms and privacy information before using that application.

13. Free Features and Future Premium Features

The current SkipZS Chrome extension is provided as a free product.

However, SkipZS may introduce additional products, services, features, subscriptions, premium functionality, paid tools, or other commercial offerings in the future.

Any future paid feature or service may have additional terms, pricing, limitations, billing conditions, refund conditions, or other requirements.

Those conditions will be presented with the applicable product, plan, subscription, or offer.

The existence of these Terms does not require SkipZS to introduce any particular premium or paid feature.

14. Version 2 Pre-Booking Offer

SkipZS may offer users the opportunity to pre-book or purchase access to a future version or product, including a SkipZS Version 2 pre-booking offer.

The current Version 2 pre-booking offer is provided through a separate SkipZS webpage and is not implemented as an in-extension payment gateway.

A user may purchase the applicable offer through the designated purchase or checkout page and receive the access or benefits described by that offer when the applicable product or version becomes available, subject to the conditions stated in the offer.

The specific offer page may establish:

price;
payment method;
purchase conditions;
expected availability;
access conditions;
promotional pricing;
refund conditions;
cancellation conditions;
delivery conditions;
eligibility requirements; and
other offer-specific terms.

Those offer-specific conditions form part of the agreement applicable to that purchase to the extent permitted by law.

A future public launch price may differ from a pre-booking or promotional price.

15. Payment Processing

Payments for SkipZS products or offers may be processed through third-party payment providers.

Depending on the applicable offer, these providers may include:

Dodo Payments;
Razorpay;
Lemon Squeezy; or
another payment provider identified at checkout.

The current SkipZS Chrome extension itself does not contain the payment gateway implementation.

When you make a payment through a separate checkout page, the applicable payment provider may process payment and transaction information under its own privacy policy and terms.

You should review the applicable provider's terms and privacy information before completing a transaction.

16. Refunds and Cancellations

SkipZS does not establish one universal refund policy for every future product or offer through these Terms.

Instead, refund, cancellation, pre-booking, subscription, and purchase conditions may be specified in the applicable plan, offer, checkout page, or commercial agreement.

Where a specific offer states a refund or cancellation policy, that policy will apply to that transaction, subject to applicable law.

Nothing in these Terms is intended to remove or limit any mandatory consumer rights that cannot lawfully be excluded.

17. Changes to Features and Services

SkipZS is actively developed.

To maintain, improve, secure, or adapt the product, we may, subject to applicable law:

add features;
modify existing features;
replace features;
remove features;
suspend features;
restrict features;
change feature limits;
change supported browsers or websites;
change supported devices;
change integrations;
introduce free features;
introduce premium or paid features;
discontinue premium or paid features;
change pricing;
introduce new products or services; or
discontinue the SkipZS service.

We do not promise that a particular feature, integration, pricing structure, or capability will remain available indefinitely.

Changes may be necessary because of:

security requirements;
technical limitations;
Chrome or browser changes;
YouTube changes;
LocalSend or third-party changes;
legal or regulatory requirements;
operational requirements; or
other legitimate business or technical reasons.

18. Third-Party Platform Changes

SkipZS depends on certain browser APIs, websites, protocols, and third-party systems.

Changes made by third parties may affect SkipZS.

For example, changes to:

Chrome;
YouTube;
browser permissions;
browser security policies;
LocalSend-compatible protocols;
operating systems;
payment providers; or
other third-party services

may cause particular SkipZS features to change, become limited, require updates, or become unavailable.

SkipZS is not responsible for changes made independently by third parties.

19. Availability and Technical Limitations

SkipZS is software that operates within a changing technical environment.

Feature behavior may depend on:

browser version;
operating system;
device hardware;
website behavior;
network conditions;
permissions;
third-party services;
browser security restrictions;
system resource availability; and
other factors outside the direct control of SkipZS.

Certain operations may fail or be interrupted, including File Sharing transfers, audio capture, webpage interaction, or communication with third-party services.

SkipZS will make reasonable product and technical decisions to maintain the service, but specific technical behavior may change over time.

20. Updates

SkipZS may release updates, fixes, improvements, security changes, compatibility changes, or feature changes.

You may need to install or accept updates to continue using particular features.

Some updates may be necessary because of security requirements, browser changes, third-party platform changes, or legal requirements.

The version of SkipZS available to you may therefore differ from earlier versions.

21. Feedback and Suggestions

If you voluntarily provide SkipZS with feedback, suggestions, ideas, bug reports, feature requests, or other comments, you agree that SkipZS may use that feedback to improve, develop, test, or modify its products and services.

Unless separately agreed in writing or required by law, you will not be entitled to compensation, ownership, royalties, or other payment solely because SkipZS uses your feedback.

Do not send confidential information or information that you are not authorized to disclose as part of ordinary product feedback.

22. Suspension and Termination

You may stop using SkipZS at any time, including by uninstalling the extension.

SkipZS may also suspend, restrict, discontinue, or modify the whole service or particular features where reasonably necessary for:

security;
legal compliance;
technical reasons;
operational reasons;
protection of users;
protection of the service;
third-party platform changes; or
other legitimate reasons.

If you materially violate these Terms or misuse the service, SkipZS may take reasonable measures to restrict or terminate the applicable access or functionality, subject to applicable law.

Termination or discontinuation of a feature does not automatically cancel or alter separate contractual rights or obligations arising from a specific commercial purchase unless the applicable offer or applicable law provides otherwise.

23. User Responsibility

You are responsible for:

your use of SkipZS;
the files and content you choose to transfer;
the devices and networks you connect to;
the permissions you grant;
the third-party services you use;
complying with applicable laws;
complying with third-party terms;
protecting your own devices and accounts; and
verifying that you have the necessary rights to content you share.

You should maintain appropriate backups of important files and information.

SkipZS should not be treated as a replacement for your own device, file, network, or account security practices.

24. No Guarantee Regarding Third-Party Services

SkipZS does not control third-party services.

Accordingly, SkipZS cannot guarantee:

the availability of YouTube;
the availability or behavior of Chrome APIs;
the continued compatibility of Auto Skip with YouTube;
the behavior of LocalSend or compatible devices;
the availability of payment providers;
the availability of linked websites; or
the continued operation of any third-party integration.

Third-party services may change independently of SkipZS.

25. Disclaimers

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, SkipZS is provided subject to the limitations and conditions described in these Terms.

SkipZS does not guarantee that:

every YouTube advertisement will be skipped;
Media Booster will produce a particular audio result;
every File Sharing transfer will complete successfully;
every third-party platform will remain compatible;
every feature will operate identically across every device or browser version; or
third-party services will remain available.

You should not rely on SkipZS as the sole method of protecting important files, maintaining network availability, or ensuring uninterrupted access to third-party services.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits rights or protections that cannot legally be excluded or limited under applicable law.

26. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, SkipZS and its operator will not be responsible for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or similar losses arising from or relating to your use of SkipZS, including losses associated with:

interruption of service;
loss of data;
failed or interrupted file transfers;
third-party service changes;
network failures;
device failures;
browser changes;
unsupported configurations;
files received from other users;
unauthorized access resulting from your choice of device, peer, network, or security configuration; or
inability to use a particular feature.

Nothing in this section excludes or limits liability where applicable law does not permit such exclusion or limitation.

For paid products or offers, any additional limitation or liability provisions contained in the applicable commercial offer may also apply, subject to applicable law.

27. Indemnification

To the extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to be responsible for claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs, or expenses arising from your unlawful or unauthorized use of SkipZS, your violation of these Terms, your infringement of another person's rights, or your misuse of the service.

This provision does not apply to the extent that the applicable claim results from conduct for which the operator cannot legally require indemnification.

28. Governing Law

These Terms are intended to be governed by the laws of India, subject to any mandatory laws or consumer protections that apply to you.

Any specific court or venue provisions will apply only to the extent legally valid and enforceable under applicable law.

Nothing in these Terms is intended to deprive a consumer of mandatory rights available under the laws that apply to that consumer.

29. Dispute Resolution

If you have a dispute or concern regarding SkipZS, we encourage you to contact us first so that we can attempt to resolve the issue informally.

Contact:

skipzs.inc@gmail.com

Where a dispute cannot be resolved informally, the parties may use the legal remedies and dispute-resolution mechanisms available under applicable law.

Any mandatory consumer dispute rights or statutory remedies remain unaffected.

30. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time.

Changes may be necessary when:

SkipZS features change;
new products or services are introduced;
paid or premium functionality is introduced;
commercial offers change;
third-party platforms change;
legal requirements change;
security requirements change; or
other legitimate operational reasons require an update.

Updated Terms will be published at:

https://skipzs.app/Terms

The updated Terms will display a new effective date.

For material changes, SkipZS may also provide an in-extension notice.

Where applicable law requires renewed acceptance of material changes, SkipZS will use the legally required method.

31. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is determined to be invalid, unlawful, or unenforceable, that provision will be interpreted or modified to the extent necessary to make it enforceable where legally permitted.

The remaining provisions will continue to apply to the extent permitted by law.

32. No Waiver

If SkipZS does not immediately enforce a provision of these Terms, that does not mean SkipZS has permanently waived its right to enforce that provision later.

Any waiver must be interpreted in accordance with applicable law.

33. Assignment

You may not transfer your rights or obligations under these Terms to another person without the required authorization.

SkipZS may transfer or assign its rights or obligations in connection with a restructuring, transfer of the product, business transaction, or other legitimate business purpose, subject to applicable law.

34. Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with any applicable additional terms, commercial offer terms, and policies expressly incorporated into them, constitute the agreement governing your use of SkipZS to the extent applicable.

If an applicable product or purchase presents additional terms that specifically apply to that product or transaction, those terms will apply to the relevant subject matter.

35. Third-Party Rights

Third-party services and software used with or alongside SkipZS remain subject to the rights and terms of their respective owners.

Nothing in these Terms grants you ownership of Google, YouTube, Chrome, LocalSend, payment-provider, or other third-party intellectual property.
