Terms of Service —A Kinder Internet
Last Updated: August 2026
Please read these Terms and our Privacy Policy carefully. They govern your use of A Kinder Internet.
The short version
A Kinder Internet is a Safari extension that attempts to hide abusive comments, running entirely on your own device. You may subscribe to it through the App Store. It is a comfort tool, not a safety system — it will sometimes miss a cruel comment and sometimes hide an innocent one. You can stop using it at any time by unsubscribing and deleting it.
The full terms follow. They are the binding version.
1. Your agreement
By installing or using A Kinder Internet, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use it.
You must be at least 13 years old to use A Kinder Internet, and old enough to hold an Apple Account in your country. If you are under the age of majority where you live, you may use it only with the involvement of a parent or guardian who agrees to these Terms on your behalf.
We may update these Terms from time to time. The current version always lives at akinderinternet.com/terms, with the "Last Updated" date above. If we make a material change, we will give notice in the App or on our website before it takes effect. Your continued use after a change takes effect means you accept it; if you do not accept it, stop using the App and cancel any subscription.
2. Definitions
"App" means the A Kinder Internet Safari extension and its companion app for iOS, iPadOS, and macOS, together with our website.
"Apple" means Apple Inc. and its subsidiaries, as the operator of the App Store through which the App is distributed.
"Feedback" means comments, suggestions, and bug reports you send us about the App.
"Free Tier" means use of the App without a Subscription, subject to the daily limit described in Section 5.
"Ranger Technologies", "we", "us" means Ranger Technologies Ltd., a company incorporated in British Columbia, Canada.
"Subscription" means a paid, auto-renewing subscription to the App purchased through the App Store.
"Third-Party Sites" means the websites and services on which the App operates — social networks, video platforms, news sites, comment providers, and the like — none of which are operated by or affiliated with us.
3. What the App does, and what it does not do
The App reads the text of comments on pages you visit and uses Apple Intelligence's on-device language model to hide those it judges abusive. All of this happens on your device. Our Privacy Policy explains the data handling in full.
Please understand the following, because they are the most important terms here:
a. The filtering is imperfect, and always will be. It relies on a language model making judgment calls about tone and intent. It will sometimes fail to hide a genuinely abusive comment, and it will sometimes hide a comment that was fine — sarcastic, blunt, quoting someone else, or simply misread. We do not warrant any level of accuracy, and accuracy may change as the underlying model, the Third-Party Sites, or our own filters change.
b. It is not a safety, moderation, or parental-control service. It hides text comments judged to be hostile. It does not block adult, explicit, graphic, or illegal material; it does not filter images, video, or audio; it does not detect grooming, threats, self-harm content, or criminal conduct; and it does not report anything to anyone. Do not use it as a child-safety tool, as a workplace or educational content control, as a substitute for platform blocking and reporting features, or in any circumstance where a missed piece of content could cause harm. If you or someone else is being harassed, threatened, or endangered, use the reporting tools of the platform involved (Not A Kinder Internet) and, where warranted, contact local authorities.
c. It never hides the post you are looking at. By design, the App filters comments and replies only. The original post, video, or article is always left visible, no matter what it contains.
d. It depends on things outside our control. The App requires a device and operating system version that support Apple Intelligence, with Apple Intelligence enabled. It also depends on the structure of Third-Party Sites, which change frequently and without notice; a redesign can stop the App working on a site until we ship an update. We do not guarantee that the App will work on any particular site, device, or OS version, or that support for any site will continue.
4. Your responsibilities
You agree that you will:
use the App only for your own personal use, on devices you own or control;
comply with the terms of service of any Third-Party Site you use the App on; and
not rely on the App in any way inconsistent with Section 3.
You agree that you will not:
1. copy, modify, or create derivative works of the App, except as applicable law permits notwithstanding this restriction;
2. distribute, sell, rent, lease, sublicense, or transfer the App to anyone else;
3. reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the App, or attempt to derive its source code, except to the extent applicable law expressly permits despite this restriction;
4. circumvent, disable, or interfere with the Free Tier limits, subscription checks, or any other technical measure in the App, or use the App without a Subscription in a manner that requires one;
5. use the App to build, train, or evaluate a competing product, or to extract the model prompts, classification logic, or filtering rules for that purpose;
6. remove or obscure any copyright, trademark, or other proprietary notice in the App; or
7. use the App for any unlawful purpose, or encourage anyone else to do any of the above.
5. Free Tier and Subscriptions
a. Free Tier. You may use the App without paying, subject to a daily limit on how many comments it will hide (currently 100 per day, which resets daily). Once the limit is reached, comments are simply left visible until the following day. We may change or discontinue the Free Tier or its limits at any time.
b. Subscription. A Subscription removes the daily limit. Current prices are shown in the App and on the App Store at the time of purchase.
c. Billing is by Apple. Subscriptions are sold and billed through the App Store. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. **We never receive or handle your payment details.** Your purchase is also subject to Apple's own terms.
d. Auto-renewal. Subscriptions renew automatically at the then-current price for the same period, unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your Apple Account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the period ends.
e. Cancelling. You can cancel any time in your Apple Account subscription settings. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current paid period; you keep full access until then. We cannot cancel a Subscription on your behalf. Deleting the App does not cancel a Subscription.
f. Refunds. Refunds for App Store purchases are handled by Apple under Apple's policies, and you can request one directly from Apple. We have no ability to issue, deny, or process a refund for an App Store purchase. Nothing in these Terms limits any refund or cancellation right you have under the consumer protection laws of your jurisdiction.
g. Price changes. We may change Subscription prices. Apple will notify you of any price increase and, where required, will ask you to consent to it before it takes effect; if you do not consent, your Subscription will not renew at the new price.
6. Ownership and licence
a. Our rights. We and our licensors own all right, title, and interest in the App, including its software, design, text, graphics, and trademarks. These Terms grant you no ownership in any of it.
b. Your licence. Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to install and use one copy of the App on each device you own or control, for your own personal, non-commercial use. All rights not expressly granted are reserved. If the App is distributed under Apple's standard Licensed Application End User Licence Agreement, that agreement's licence terms apply in place of this paragraph to the extent of any conflict.
c. Third-party names. The names and logos of Third-Party Sites are the trademarks of their respective owners. We use them only to describe where the App works. A Kinder Internet is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any of them, and none of them are responsible for the App.
d. Feedback. We welcome Feedback at **hello@rangercrm.co**. If you send it, you grant us a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free licence to use it for any purpose, including improving the App, without obligation or compensation to you. You are not required to send us Feedback, and you should not send us anything confidential.
7. Your data
The App does not upload, transmit, or store your content on our systems. Your settings, counters, and cached verdicts live on your device and are yours. There is no account, no cloud copy, no export process, and nothing for us to retain or return, because we never had it.
Deleting the App deletes what it stored. See the [Privacy Policy](PRIVACY.md) for detail.
8. Changes to and discontinuation of the App
We may change, suspend, or discontinue any part of the App at any time, including support for particular sites, devices, or OS versions. We will try to give reasonable notice of a material discontinuation. If we permanently discontinue the App entirely, we will stop billing Subscriptions and, where required by law or Apple's policies, arrange for a proportionate refund of any prepaid unused period.
9. Term and termination
These Terms apply for as long as you use the App.
You may terminate at any time by deleting the App (and cancelling your Subscription separately, per Section 5(e)).
We may suspend or terminate your licence if you materially breach these Terms — in particular Section 4 — and, where the breach is capable of being cured and the circumstances reasonably allow, we will give you notice and a chance to cure first.
Sections that by their nature should survive termination will survive, including Sections 3, 6, 10, 11, 12, and 13.
10. Disclaimer of warranties
**To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the App is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory. We specifically disclaim the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, quiet enjoyment, and non-infringement, and any warranty arising out of course of dealing or usage of trade.**
**Without limiting the above, and consistent with Section 3, we do not warrant that the App will hide any particular comment, that it will not hide comments you wanted to see, that it will work on any given site, or that it will be uninterrupted or error-free.**
Some jurisdictions, including British Columbia, do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or of statutory consumer guarantees. Where that is the case, the exclusions above do not apply to you to the extent prohibited, and you may have rights in addition to those in these Terms. Nothing here is intended to limit those rights.
11. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, neither we nor anyone involved in creating or delivering the App will be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, exemplary, or consequential damages, or for lost profits, lost data, loss of goodwill, or service interruption, arising out of or relating to these Terms or the App, on any theory of liability, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.**
Our total liability arising out of or relating to these Terms or the App will not exceed the greater of (a) the amounts you paid us for the App in the twelve months before the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) one hundred Canadian dollars (CAD $100).**
Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited by law, including liability for fraud, for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or under applicable consumer protection legislation.
The exclusions and limitations in Sections 10 and 11 are a fundamental basis of the bargain between us, and reflect that the App is offered at a low price and cannot guarantee the accuracy of any individual judgment it makes.
12. Indemnity
To the extent permitted by law, you will indemnify and hold harmless Ranger Technologies and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from any claims, liabilities, damages, and reasonable costs (including legal fees) arising out of your misuse of the App, your breach of these Terms, or your violation of the terms of any Third-Party Site.
13. Apple App Store terms
The following apply to the App as distributed through the App Store, and Apple requires them:
a. These Terms are between you and Ranger Technologies only, not with Apple. We, not Apple, are solely responsible for the App and its content.
b. Apple has no obligation to provide any maintenance or support for the App.
c. If the App fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price (if any). To the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation whatsoever with respect to the App. Any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs, or expenses attributable to a failure to conform to a warranty are our sole responsibility.
d. Apple is not responsible for addressing any claim by you or a third party relating to the App or your use of it, including product liability claims, claims that the App fails to conform to a legal or regulatory requirement, and claims under consumer protection or similar legislation.
e. If a third party claims that the App or your use of it infringes their intellectual property rights, we, not Apple, are solely responsible for the investigation, defence, settlement, and discharge of that claim, to the extent required by these Terms.
f. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms, and on your acceptance of these Terms Apple will have the right to enforce them against you as a third-party beneficiary.
g. You represent that you are not located in a country subject to a Canadian or U.S. Government embargo or designated as a terrorist-supporting country, and that you are not on any Canadian or U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
h. You must comply with any applicable third-party terms of service when using the App.
14. Governing law and disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of British Columbia, Canada, and the federal laws of Canada applicable there, without regard to conflict of laws rules. The parties submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of British Columbia.
If you are a consumer resident elsewhere, this does not deprive you of the protection of mandatory consumer laws of your country of residence, or of the right to bring proceedings where those laws entitle you to do so.
Before starting formal proceedings, please email us at info@AKinderInternet.com — most problems are quicker to solve that way.
15. General
Entire agreement. These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between you and us regarding the App, and supersede any prior understandings.
Severability. If any provision is held invalid or unenforceable, it will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible and the rest will remain in effect.
No waiver. Our failure to enforce a right or provision is not a waiver of it.
Assignment. You may not assign these Terms without our written consent. We may assign them freely, including in connection with a merger or sale of assets.
Notices. We will give notices under these Terms by posting in the App or on our website, or by email if you have given us an address. You may reach us at the address below.
