We are currently in Beta testing. Our Beta testing version is only for USA users that are 18+ years of age. There may be some bugs and glitches with the browser, but we are working hard to catch them all. We appreciate your feedback to help us improve our browser. We take no responsibility for any issues it may cause.
This Terms of Service agreement governs your download and/or use of the executable code for the Ouroboros browser for computer's desktop software application, including any update or upgrade thereto ("Software"). These terms form a binding contract between you and Ouroboros Browser ("Ouroboros").
a. These Terms of Service ("Terms"), along with Ouroboros's Privacy Policy, form a legally-binding contract between you and Ouroboros Browser. By using the Services (as defined below), you are agreeing to be legally bound by these Terms. If you don't agree with these Terms, you must discontinue using the Services.
b. As used in these Terms, the word "Services" applies to online services provided to you by Ouroboros through its software applications, websites and APIs.
Your access to the Services is subject to change. Ouroboros reserves the right at any time to modify or discontinue the Services in whole or in part, and to terminate your access to the Services at any time, with or without notice. You agree that Ouroboros shall not be liable to you or to any third party for any modification, suspension or discontinuance of the Services.
Ouroboros is not responsible for any damages you may incur as a result of your use of the Services:
a. You agree that Ouroboros shall not be responsible for unauthorized access to or alteration of your transmissions or data, any material or data sent or received or not sent or received, or any transactions entered into through the Services.
b. You agree that Ouroboros is not responsible or liable for any threatening, defamatory, obscene, offensive, or illegal content or conduct of any other party or any infringement of another's rights, including intellectual property rights. You specifically agree that Ouroboros is not responsible for any content sent using and/or included in the Services by any third party.
c. In no event shall Ouroboros and/or its suppliers be liable for any direct, indirect, punitive, incidental, special, consequential damages, or any damages whatsoever including, without limitation, damages for loss of use, data, or profits, arising out of or in any way connected with the use or performance of the Services, with the delay or inability to use the Services, the provision of or failure to provide any Services, or for any information, software, products, services, and related graphics obtained through the Services, or otherwise arising out of the use of the Services, whether based on contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, or otherwise, even if Ouroboros or any of its suppliers has been advised of the possibility of damages. Because some states/jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, the above limitation may not apply in every instance. If you are dissatisfied with any portion of the Services, or with any of these terms, your sole and exclusive remedy is to discontinue using the Services and related websites.
d. You agree to indemnify and hold Ouroboros, its parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, and employees, harmless from any claim, demand, or damage, including reasonable attorneys' fees, asserted by any third party due to or arising out of your use of or conduct on the Services.
These Terms are based on English law. These Terms will be governed by the laws of the British Virgin Islands, without giving effect to any conflicts of law principles that may require the application of the laws of a different country. Any and all disputes arising out of or in connection with these Terms, including any question regarding its existence, validity or termination, shall be referred to and finally resolved by arbitration in English for the time being in force at the commencement of the arbitration. The place of arbitration shall be the British Virgin Islands before a tribunal of three arbitrators, one to be appointed by each of the parties and the third by the two so chosen, unless the parties have agreed to the appointment of a sole arbitrator. The parties agree that the seat of the arbitration shall remain in the British Virgin Islands. Notwithstanding this, you agree that Ouroboros shall still be allowed to apply for injunctive remedies (or an equivalent type of urgent legal relief) in any jurisdiction. If any provision of these Terms is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions of these Terms shall not be affected or impaired thereby.
Ouroboros may modify these Terms. Ouroboros may update these Terms or the Privacy Policy from time to time. It is your responsibility to remain informed of any changes, because you are legally obligated to abide by the latest versions of these Terms and the Privacy Policy. You may not assign or transfer your rights under these Terms without obtaining Ouroboros's prior written consent, and any purported assignment or transfer in violation of this section will be null and void.

You may only use the Software as expressly authorized in these Terms of Service. You may not (and you may not permit anyone else) to copy, modify, create a derivative work of, reverse engineer, decompile or otherwise attempt to extract the source code of the Software or any part thereof, unless this is expressly permitted or required by law, or unless you have been specifically told that you may do so by Ouroboros, in writing. Unless Ouroboros has given you specific written permission to do so, you may not assign (or grant a sub-license of) your rights to use the Software, grant a security interest in or over your rights to use the Software, or otherwise transfer any part of your rights to use the Software.
Unless expressly permitted by law, you may not copy, decompile, reverse engineer, disassemble, attempt to derive the source code of, modify, or create derivative works of the Software.

Large digital corporations collect, store, analyze, use and sell data about you known as “Big Data”. This is a practice that many users of the internet dislike and are afraid of. Ouroboros Browser does not believe in the Big Data practice and will try to protect you from this. We may change your search to help reduce your digital footprint. After every browsing session, we may remove your cookies automatically. We do not use FLoC tracking. We may change your default search in the Ouroboros Browser and third-party browsers to protect you from the biggest Big Data proponent. We may update your current browser version to keep your search experience consistent with our ethos of reducing data tracking.
We do not ask you to sign-up an account with Ouroboros. If you have a Roku device, we will detect it and pull your device's advertising ID, which is also known as an Identifier for Advertisers (IFA). If you email our support team, we will have your email address. However, your email address will only be used for the purpose of responding to your inquiry. It will not be used for any other purpose.
The Software is delivered along with certain software components provided by third parties ("Third Party Software"). Ouroboros shall not be responsible for any such Third-Party Software.

The terms set forth in this Terms of Service do not apply to Third-Party Software to the extent they are inconsistent with such Third-Party Software licenses. This Terms of Service governs your use of the Software in executable form.

To save confusion, installing Ouroboros Browser will unpin other browsers so that there isn’t any brand confusion. If you want to add them back after installation, you may do so.
You may receive ads in the form of notifications and in-browser sponsored content. The categories of ads that you see and when you see them are inferred from your browsing activity. We will receive anonymized confirmations for ads that you have viewed, but no data that identifies you or that can be linked to you are stored.
