Terms of Service

Effective date: May 27, 2026 · Last updated: May 27, 2026

👋 Before the legal stuff 1stTab is a one-person side project I built for myself and decided to share. It's open beta — Plus is free with code 1STTAB-BETA-PLUS in Settings → Plus. I'll give 30 days notice here before that changes. Bugs and feature requests are always welcome. ☕ coffee too.

Please read these Terms of Service ("Terms") carefully before using the 1stTab Chrome extension ("Extension", "Service"). By installing or using 1stTab you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not install or use the Extension.

1. License Grant

Subject to your compliance with these Terms, 1stTab grants you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to install and use the Extension solely for your own personal, non-commercial purposes. This license does not include the right to:

Copy, modify, distribute, sell, or sublicense any part of the Extension
Reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the Extension (except where permitted by applicable law)
Remove or alter any proprietary notices or marks
Use the Extension to develop a competing product

2. 1stTab Plus — Paid Features

Certain features are available exclusively to users who have activated a Plus license ("Plus").

Activation: Plus is activated by entering a valid license key in Settings → Plus. Keys are personal and non-transferable.
Access: Plus features remain available while your license key is valid. Keys found to be fraudulent or shared may be revoked.
Refunds: Requests must be submitted within 14 days of purchase to aablotia@ablotia.com. Refunds are reviewed case-by-case.
Changes: We may add, modify, or remove Plus features over time and will endeavour to notify users of significant changes.

3. Third-Party Services and API Keys

1stTab integrates with optional third-party services including Google APIs, Anthropic, OpenAI, Google Gemini, Finnhub, CoinGecko, and others. Your use of those services is governed by their own terms. You are solely responsible for:

Obtaining and maintaining any API keys you enter into 1stTab
Ensuring your use of those services complies with their terms
Any costs or liabilities arising from use of those third-party APIs

1stTab does not guarantee the availability or continued operation of any third-party service.

4. User Responsibilities

You agree not to use 1stTab to violate applicable law, infringe third-party rights, transmit harmful content via connected AI services, or attempt to circumvent any security features of the Extension.

5. Intellectual Property

1stTab and all related materials are owned by the 1stTab team and protected by applicable intellectual property laws. You retain full ownership of data you create using 1stTab (notes, todos, bookmarks, custom CSS, etc.).

6. Privacy

Your use of 1stTab is governed by our Privacy Policy, incorporated into these Terms by reference.

7. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE EXTENSION IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE EXTENSION WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE.

8. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, 1STTAB AND ITS DEVELOPERS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE EXTENSION. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID FOR PLUS IN THE PRECEDING TWELVE MONTHS, OR USD $10, WHICHEVER IS GREATER.

9. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless 1stTab and its developers from claims, damages, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from your use of the Extension, violation of these Terms, or infringement of third-party rights.

10. Modifications

We may update these Terms at any time by revising the "Last updated" date. Continued use of 1stTab after any changes constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

11. Termination

Your license terminates automatically if you violate these Terms. Sections 5, 7, 8, 9, and 11 survive termination.

12. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which the developer operates, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.
