Terms of Service

The legal stuff, but in plain English. Because nobody likes legal surprises.

Last updated: December 2025

Legal Disclaimer

I'm not a lawyer, just a developer who vibe-coded a monitoring tool. This TOS is written in good faith to protect both of us, but if you're using LookOut for anything mission-critical, please consult actual legal counsel. Seriously.

What LookOut Is (And Isn't)

LookOut is a free monitoring service that pings your endpoints and shows you uptime data. It's designed for solo developers and small projects who want basic monitoring without enterprise complexity.

✅ What it does:

  • • Monitors up to 35 endpoints across 5 workspaces
  • • Provides uptime statistics and response time data
  • • Offers data export in multiple formats
  • • Keeps your free-tier apps awake

❌ What it doesn't do:

  • • Guarantee 100% uptime (nothing can)
  • • Replace enterprise monitoring solutions
  • • Provide SLA guarantees
  • • Monitor localhost or private networks

Your Responsibilities

🚨 Critical: Information Liability

Any information you enter on this website in any way, shape, or form is solely your liability. This includes but is not limited to:

  • • Endpoint URLs and configurations
  • • Authentication headers, API keys, or tokens
  • • Request bodies or custom data
  • • Workspace names and descriptions
  • • Any data submitted through forms or API calls

You are responsible for ensuring that any information you provide complies with all applicable laws, regulations, and third-party agreements.

Do:

  • • Use legitimate endpoints for monitoring
  • • Respect rate limits and fair usage
  • • Keep your account information accurate
  • • Report security issues responsibly
  • • Use read-only API keys when possible

Don't:

  • • Monitor endpoints you don't own/control
  • • Include sensitive data in configurations
  • • Attempt to abuse or hack the service
  • • Use it for illegal or harmful purposes
  • • Share your account with others

Service Availability

The Honest Truth:

LookOut is provided "as is" with no uptime guarantees. It's a passion project built by one person in their spare time. While I try to keep it running smoothly, I can't promise 99.9% uptime like enterprise services.

I'll do my best to keep the service running and notify users of planned maintenance, but sometimes things break. When they do, I'll work to fix them as quickly as possible.

For mission-critical applications: Please use enterprise monitoring solutions. LookOut is perfect for side projects, personal apps, and non-critical services.

Your Data

What I Store:

  • • Your endpoint configurations
  • • Monitoring results and statistics
  • • Account information (email, etc.)
  • • Usage data for service improvement

Data Retention:

  • • Monitoring data: 90 days
  • • Aggregated stats: 1 year
  • • Account data: Until deletion
  • • Export your data anytime

I don't sell your data, share it with third parties (except for essential service providers like hosting), or use it for advertising. Your monitoring data is yours.

Account Termination

You can delete your account anytime from your dashboard. I can also terminate accounts that violate these terms or pose security risks.

Before deletion:

Export any data you want to keep. Account deletion is permanent and irreversible.

Liability & Limitations

Use at your own risk. LookOut is provided for free, and while I try to make it reliable, I can't be held responsible for any damages, losses, or issues that arise from using the service.

Translation:

If LookOut goes down and you miss a critical alert, or if there's a bug that affects your monitoring, I'll do my best to fix it but I can't be sued or held financially responsible. That's the trade-off for free software.

This limitation applies to the maximum extent permitted by law.

Changes & Questions

I may update these terms occasionally. When I do, I'll update the date at the top and notify active users through the dashboard or email.

Questions about these terms? Email me at ctfu.anand@outlook.com or open an issue on GitHub.

Thanks for reading the fine print. Now go build something awesome and let LookOut keep it awake.

By using LookOut, you agree to these terms. Simple as that.
