Liability Limitation

Scam Sentry shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages—whether in contract, tort or otherwise—including but not limited to harm to reputation or reliance on our reports. Under U.S. defamation law, truthful statements are an absolute defense, and any accurate disclosures of evidence (including screen captures, URLs or other documentation) made in good faith on matters of public concern enjoy qualified privilege and constitutional free-speech protection.

Third-Party Links

Some scam reports may include malicious or deceptive third-party URLs. Scam Sentry is not responsible for the content or practices of third-party sites.

We may update these Terms of Service at any time. Continued use of our services after changes means you accept the new terms.
