2. Description of Service

Uptime Vanguard is a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platform that monitors the availability and performance of websites and online services. Features include:

  • HTTP, DNS, Ping, and SSL certificate monitoring
  • Checks performed from multiple edge locations worldwide
  • Notifications via email, Slack, Discord, Telegram, and webhooks
  • Status pages and incident tracking

3. Account Registration

To use the Service, you must create an account with a valid email address. You are responsible for:

  • Providing accurate and complete registration information
  • Maintaining the security of your account credentials
  • All activity that occurs under your account

You must be at least 18 years old or the age of legal majority in your jurisdiction to use the Service.

4. Free Trial

New accounts receive a 7-day free trial with full access to the Service. No payment information is required to start a trial.

At the end of the trial period, you must subscribe to a paid plan to continue using the Service. If you do not subscribe, your account will be restricted and monitoring will be paused.

5. Subscription & Payments

After the free trial, the Service requires a paid subscription. Subscriptions are billed on a recurring basis (monthly or annually) depending on the plan you choose.

Payments are processed securely by Stripe. By subscribing, you also agree to Stripe's Terms of Service. We do not store your full payment card details on our servers.

Prices are listed on our website and may change with 30 days' notice. Price changes will not affect your current billing period.

You may cancel your subscription at any time from your account settings. Upon cancellation:

  • Your subscription remains active until the end of the current billing period
  • No further charges will be made
  • Monitoring will stop at the end of the paid period

Refunds are generally not provided for partial billing periods. If you believe you were charged in error, contact us at support@uptimevanguard.com and we will review your case.
