Effective Date: May 18, 2025

Welcome to Ultimate CMS Detector for Search (the “Extension”), provided by Mark Behnken (mbehnken.com) (“I,” “me,” or “my”). These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of my Extension.

By installing, accessing, or using the Extension, you agree to be bound by these Terms and my Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to these Terms, do not install or use the Extension.

1. Description of the Extension

Ultimate CMS Detector for Search is a browser extension I designed to identify and display information about the Content Management Systems (CMS) and other web technologies used by websites that appear in Google Search and Google Images results. The Extension also includes an optional AI-Powered Detection feature, which allows you to analyze the technology of virtually any webpage using your own OpenAI API key. The Extension aims to provide useful data for professionals and individuals engaged in web research, development, marketing, SEO analysis, and similar informational purposes.

2. License to Use

Subject to your compliance with these Terms, I grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to download, install, and use the Extension solely for your personal, internal business research, or informational purposes.

3. User Responsibilities and Prohibited Conduct

You agree to use the Extension responsibly and in compliance with all applicable local, state, national, and international laws and regulations. You agree NOT to:

Use the Extension for any illegal, fraudulent, or malicious activities.
Misuse the Extension in any way that could damage, disable, overburden, or impair the Extension itself or interfere with any other party’s use of the Extension.
Attempt to disrupt or place an unreasonable load on the websites the Extension analyzes. The Extension is designed to make individual requests as needed for analysis and is not intended for aggressive or high-volume scraping that could violate the terms of service of the analyzed websites or negatively impact their performance.
Use the Extension to transmit any harmful or disruptive code, such as viruses or malware.
Attempt to gain unauthorized access to any systems or networks related to the Extension.
Use the Extension in any manner that infringes upon the rights of others, including intellectual property rights or privacy rights.

Regarding the AI-Powered Detection Feature:

OpenAI API Key:
- You are solely responsible for obtaining your own OpenAI API key and for any costs, usage limits, or other terms associated with your use of the OpenAI API. You must comply with all OpenAI terms of service and policies when using your API key through the Extension.
API Key Security:
- You are responsible for the security of your OpenAI API key. The Extension stores your API key locally in your browser as described in our Privacy Policy, but you should ensure your system is secure.
Accuracy of Information:
- You acknowledge that information provided by the AI-Powered Detection feature is generated by a third-party AI (OpenAI) and may not always be accurate, complete, or up-to-date. You should independently verify any critical information obtained through this feature.
Content of Analysis:
- You are responsible for ensuring that your use of the AI-Powered Detection feature, including the content of any webpage you choose to analyze, complies with OpenAI’s usage policies (e.g., regarding prohibited content).

While the Extension is a tool for gathering information, you are solely responsible for how you use the information obtained through it. I encourage ethical and respectful use of the data.

4. Intellectual Property Rights

The Extension, including but not limited to its name, logo, visual design, features, functionality, and all underlying software, source code (even if viewable in a browser’s developer tools due to Chrome Web Store policies), object code, algorithms, and other components, is my exclusive property. The Extension is protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws.

No Open Source: The Extension is proprietary software and is NOT open source.
Restrictions: You are expressly prohibited from:

1. Copying, modifying, creating derivative works of, distributing, selling, leasing, sublicensing, or otherwise transferring any rights in the Extension.
2. Reverse engineering, decompiling, disassembling, or otherwise attempting to discover the source code or underlying ideas or algorithms of the Extension, except to the extent that such activities are expressly permitted by applicable law despite this limitation.
3. Removing, obscuring, or altering any proprietary notices (including copyright and trademark notices) that may be affixed to or contained within the Extension.

Any rights not expressly granted to you in these Terms are reserved by me.

5. Privacy

Your privacy is important to me. My collection and use of information in connection with the Extension are described in my Privacy Policy, which is incorporated by reference into these Terms. By using the Extension, you consent to the data practices described in the Privacy Policy.

6. Third-Party Websites and Content

The Extension interacts with and analyzes content from third-party websites. Additionally, the AI-Powered Detection feature utilizes the services of a third party (OpenAI). I do not own, control, or endorse these third-party websites, their content, or the services provided by OpenAI. The information provided by the Extension about these sites, or generated by OpenAI, is for informational purposes only and is based on the data the Extension is able to access, analyze, or process at a given time. I make no representations or warranties regarding the accuracy, completeness, or reliability of the information detected from third-party websites or generated through third-party AI services. You acknowledge that your use of or reliance on any information obtained through the Extension regarding third-party sites or AI-generated content is at your own risk. You are also responsible for complying with the terms of service of any third-party services (like OpenAI) that you access via the Extension.

7. Extension Configuration and Updates

To maintain and improve functionality, particularly its ability to interact with Google Search and Google Images pages as they change, the Extension may periodically fetch a configuration file (e.g., selectors.json) from a predefined, trusted external source as detailed in my Privacy Policy. I may also, from time to time, release updates to the Extension. These updates may be automatically installed depending on your browser settings. Such updates may add, modify, or remove features. You agree that I have no obligation to provide any specific features or functionality, or to continue providing them.

8. Disclaimer of Warranties
