1. Acceptance
1.1 These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, constitute the agreement between you and us regarding the Application. Obtaining and using the Application in any manner is subject to these Terms.
1.2 We may publish revisions on this page, in the Application, or by other reasonable means. Revisions take effect on the stated date. Continued use after a revision constitutes acceptance.
1.3 If a provision is held invalid by a competent authority, the remaining provisions remain in force. Failure to exercise a right is not a waiver of that right.
2. The service
2.1 The Application provides public-information lookup based on a username. After you enter a username and select platforms, it attempts to find possibly related public profiles on publicly accessible pages and displays them. You may also view limited history stored on the device.
2.2 Optional Watch: after you add a target and configure notification channels, the system may recheck public information on a schedule and attempt to notify you of possible changes.
2.3 The Application processes public information only. We do not warrant coverage of all sites, exhaustive results, real-time updates, or that a username corresponds to a particular natural person.
2.4 Search depth, concurrency, the platform catalog, and per-request limits may be constrained by configuration, network, third-party limits, and fair-use rules, and may change without prior notice.
2.5 The Application is not an investigation agency, detective service, credit bureau, or law-enforcement tool, and must not be understood as encouraging or assisting unlawful investigation.
3. Eligibility
3.1 You must have full civil capacity. If you have limited capacity, you may use the Application only with guardian consent and guidance, and the guardian bears corresponding responsibility.
3.2 You must ensure that use of the Application and related search or Watch activity is lawful in your jurisdiction. Inability to use, or unlawful use, due to local law is your responsibility.
3.3 We may refuse service to users we reasonably believe may abuse the service, breach these Terms, or present unacceptable risk.
4. Accounts and devices
4.1 Registration is not required. The service may rely on a device identifier to recognize requests and Watch settings on the same device.
4.2 Keep your device secure. Searches, configuration changes, and notice settings initiated from your device are treated as your acts if we reasonably rely on them.
4.3 Uninstalling, changing devices, or clearing data may cause loss of local records and settings. We have no duty to migrate or permanently store on-device data, except as required by law.
5. Lawful use
You agree to use the Application only for lawful, proper purposes consistent with these Terms, including:
- checking public footprints of a username you own or are authorized to verify;
- collecting public information within security research, bug bounty, or compliance audit scopes if you have lawful authority;
- journalism, academic research, and other uses that comply with law, professional ethics, and target-platform rules;
- other lawful uses that do not infringe others’ rights or public order and good morals.
You must judge whether a specific use is lawful and obtain professional advice if needed. We do not provide legal advice on your use.
6. Prohibited conduct
Except as permitted by law or authorized by the rights holder, you must not use the Application to:
- harass, stalk, threaten, defame, or discriminate against any person or organization, or dox or expose private life information another person does not wish to make public;
- extort, defraud, impersonate, or collect information to commit crime;
- obtain non-public data, including cracking, intrusion, bypassing access controls, defeating CAPTCHA, or scanning unauthorized interfaces;
- violate a target platform’s terms, robots rules, rate limits, or other reasonable limits;
- make unauthorized bulk calls to, resell, scrape, reverse engineer, interfere with, or attack our APIs or infrastructure;
- circumvent ads, feature unlock, rate limits, or other technical measures;
- upload or spread illegal, infringing, malicious, or other harmful content;
- engage in any activity prohibited by applicable law.
If we discover or reasonably suspect such conduct, we may restrict, suspend, or terminate service and reserve the right to report to competent authorities and pursue legal remedies.
7. Advertising and feature unlock
7.1 The Application is ad-supported. Some features (including viewing full results, speeding up search, or using Watch) may require a rewarded video or other ads. In-app rules apply and may change.
7.2 Ads are provided by third-party networks. Fill, load time, and creative are not fully within our control. If a feature cannot be unlocked because an ad did not show, we may allow a retry but have no duty to compensate.
7.3 Watching an ad is not a purchase of goods or services and creates no membership, subscription, or transferable property interest. Ad display is subject to the network’s and advertiser’s rules.
7.4 The Application does not offer in-app purchases or subscriptions. If you see paid promotions about the Application elsewhere, the in-app features and these Terms prevail.
8. Watch and notices
8.1 Watch depends on channels you provide and on public accessibility of third-party platforms. You warrant that email, webhook, or other channels are accurate, valid, and used with authority.
8.2 We do not warrant timely, guaranteed, or complete delivery. Mail may be delayed, blocked, or treated as spam; webhook failure depends on the recipient; messaging channels may be limited by third-party APIs.
8.3 Watch is not 24-hour staffing and is not continuous surveillance of a particular person. Frequency, coverage, and whether an alert fires depend on configuration and third-party availability.
9. Third-party content
9.1 Text, images, links, and marks in results originate from third parties. Accuracy, legality, and continued accessibility are the responsibility of those platforms and rights holders.
9.2 When you visit a third-party site from results, you must follow that site’s rules. We are not responsible for its content, security, or transactions.
9.3 If a rights holder believes a result infringes its rights, it may contact us using the details in these Terms. We will handle the matter after verification in accordance with law.
10. Intellectual property
10.1 Interface, copy, icons, layout, software, and related documentation belong to us or lawful rights holders. You may not copy, modify, distribute, lease, or reverse engineer the Application without written permission, except as allowed by law.
10.2 Names of open-source projects such as “Maigret” belong to their rights holders. The Application is an independent client and is not officially affiliated with, or endorsed by, those authors.
10.3 Third-party content in results remains with original rights holders. You may view it only for personal, lawful, non-infringing purposes and may not use it for unauthorized commercial publication or to infringe others’ rights.
11. Charges
11.1 Data charges for download and use are billed by your carrier and are unrelated to us.
11.2 The current commercial model is advertising. We may adjust feature scope, ad formats, and fair-use limits. Such adjustments are not retroactive charges for past use.
12. Changes and suspension
12.1 We may change, suspend, or terminate all or part of the service for operational, security, legal, or technical reasons, including the platform catalog, search strategy, ad placement, or Watch.
12.2 We may notify planned maintenance when reasonable, but do not guarantee advance notice. Interruptions from maintenance, upgrades, force majeure, or third parties are not our liability to the extent permitted by law.
13. Disclaimer
13.1 To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Application is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, continuity, timeliness, security, or accuracy.
13.2 Results may include namesakes, similar names, stale pages, mirrors, or false matches. Independently verify them. Do not rely on them as the sole basis for employment, transactions, litigation, or other material decisions.
13.3 We do not warrant that third-party platforms remain open, that ads fill, that mail or messages arrive, that local data will not be cleared by the OS, or that a given username will be found.
14. Limitation of liability
14.1 To the maximum extent permitted by law, we and our affiliates, directors, employees, and agents are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, punitive, or consequential loss arising from use or inability to use the Application, including lost profits, data, goodwill, or cost of substitute services, even if advised of the possibility.
14.2 To the maximum extent permitted by law, our aggregate liability arising from these Terms shall not exceed amounts you actually paid us for the Application in the twelve months before the claim (if any). If you paid nothing, liability is limited to the minimum amount permitted by law.
14.3 If a jurisdiction does not allow limitation of implied warranties or exclusion of certain liability, the above applies only to the extent permitted. We remain liable for duties that cannot be excluded by law.
15. Indemnity
If your breach of these Terms, violation of law, or infringement of third-party rights causes claims, penalties, loss, or expense (including reasonable investigation and attorney fees) to us or our affiliates, you shall indemnify and hold us harmless. We may defend and settle independently without reducing your indemnity obligation.
16. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms. Continued use after an update constitutes acceptance. Material changes will be indicated on this page or in the Application where reasonably practicable. You are responsible for reviewing the current text.
17. Termination
17.1 You may stop using and uninstall the Application at any time.
17.2 If you breach these Terms, or if law, security, or operations so require, we may immediately limit or terminate service without liability, except as required by law.
17.3 Provisions that by nature should survive, including intellectual property, disclaimer, limitation of liability, indemnity, and dispute resolution, survive termination.
18. Governing law and disputes
18.1 Formation, validity, interpretation, performance, and dispute resolution are governed by the laws of the People’s Republic of China, excluding conflict-of-law rules.
18.2 Disputes shall first be negotiated. Failing negotiation, they shall be submitted to the people’s court with jurisdiction at our domicile, unless mandatory law provides otherwise for venue.
19. Miscellaneous
19.1 Headings are for convenience only. These Terms are the entire agreement on use of the Application and supersede prior oral or written communications on the same subject, except as otherwise provided in the Privacy Policy.
19.2 You may not assign rights or obligations under these Terms without our written consent. We may assign these Terms to an affiliate or successor.
19.3 Questions may be sent to codernow@163.com.
