Terms of Service

Last updated: September 3, 2026

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing and using Bookmark Maestro ("the Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree to these terms, please do not use the Service.

The Service is not directed at children: you must be at least 16 years old to create an account, and if the law where you live sets a higher age for agreeing to terms like these on your own, that age applies instead.

2. What Bookmark Maestro Is

Bookmark Maestro is a browser extension that works on the bookmarks already in your browser, together with this website, which handles accounts, subscriptions and support. The extension finds duplicates, dead links, empty folders and tracking parameters, and helps you reorganize what it finds.

It is worth being exact about one thing, because it is the opposite of how most services in this category work: we do not host, store or hold a copy of your bookmarks. They live in your browser, where they already were. We are not a bookmark host, a sync service, or a backup provider, and the Service can neither produce your bookmarks for you nor lose them on your behalf.

This site also offers a few free tools that run entirely inside your own browser tab. They are provided as a courtesy, with no guarantee that they will recover anything in particular — what they can find depends on what is still in the files you give them.

3. Your Bookmarks, and Your Own Backups

Your bookmarks and everything in them remain entirely yours. Using the Service gives us no rights over them, and because they never reach us, we could not claim any if we wanted to.

The other side of that: keeping backups is yours to do. The Service is not a backup service, and nothing it keeps locally on your device is a substitute for one — anything held there lives in the same browser profile as the bookmarks themselves, so whatever removes the profile removes it too. Before any large cleanup, export your bookmarks. The extension can write the file for you, and so can Chrome.

4. Changes You Make Are Real Changes

The Service exists to change your bookmarks, and several of its tools do so in bulk: removing duplicate copies, deleting empty folders, rewriting addresses to strip tracking parameters, editing many titles at once, and deleting whatever you have selected. The extension shows you what it proposes before it acts, and keeps a limited record of recent changes so that many of them can be reversed — but that record is bounded in time and in what it covers, it is stated in the product, and it is not a promise that any particular action can be reversed.

You are responsible for the operations you confirm. Read what a dialog proposes before you agree to it, and treat a cleanup of a library you care about the way you would treat any other bulk edit of your own data.

5. User Accounts

No account is needed to install the extension or to use its free features — every diagnosis it offers works signed out. An account is what carries a Pro subscription across your browsers, and to have one you agree to:

  • Provide accurate and complete information
  • Maintain the security of your account credentials
  • Promptly update any changes to your account information
  • Accept responsibility for all activities that occur under your account

You can close your account yourself at any time, from the GDPR page in your account settings. It deletes what we hold and cancels any subscription, immediately and without a recovery window.

6. Privacy

Your use of the Service is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which describes what we hold, what stays on your device, and every company that handles any of it. Please read it — between the two documents, it is the one with the facts about your data in it.

7. Plans, Subscription and Payments

The Service has a free plan and a paid plan ("Pro"). The free plan includes the essential bookmark tools; Pro adds the features listed on our pricing page. New accounts get every Pro feature free for their first 14 days — no payment method required. By subscribing to a paid plan:

  • You agree to pay all fees associated with your subscription plan
  • Subscription fees are billed in advance and renew automatically until you cancel
  • You authorize us to charge your chosen payment method
  • If Pro is not right for you, we will refund the first payment on your account in full — ask within 14 days of it and we will not ask you why. This covers monthly, yearly and lifetime alike. A refund ends Pro access on the account; your bookmarks live in Chrome and stay exactly where they are. To ask, email [email protected] or use the Contact Support page in your account, which reaches the same place with your account already attached
  • Later renewals are not automatically refundable. You can cancel at any time before one, and you keep Pro to the end of the period you have already paid for. If a renewal took you by surprise, write to us anyway — we would far rather sort it out with you directly
  • You can cancel your subscription at any time from your account settings; cancelling stops the next renewal and your Pro access runs to the end of the period you have already paid for, with no partial refund for the remainder
  • Lifetime plans are a one-time purchase of the Pro feature set for as long as the Service operates; they never renew, and they carry the same 14-day guarantee as any first payment
  • We may decline a refund on an account showing the automated, scripted, resold or shared use described in Section 8

Nothing in this section limits the refund, cancellation or withdrawal rights you have under the consumer law of the country you live in. Where those rights give you more than we offer here, they apply.

8. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

  • Use the Service for any illegal purpose
  • Attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Service
  • Interfere with or disrupt the Service
  • Share your account credentials with others
  • Access the Service by automated means, or resell or redistribute what it provides

9. Our Rights in the Software

The extension, this website, and the name and design that go with them are ours. While these Terms are in force you have a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to use them for their intended purpose. You may not resell, sublicense, rent out or redistribute the Service or the access an account gives you, and you may not attempt to defeat the checks that separate the free plan from Pro. Nothing here restricts a right you hold under the open-source licences of the components we ship, which are listed on our licences page, or any right the law of your country gives you regardless of a contract.

10. Suspension and Termination

We may suspend or close an account that breaches Section 8, and we will say why when we do. Where the breach is something you can put right, we will ask first unless doing so would be pointless or would let the harm continue. If we close a paid account for a reason that is not a breach on your part, we refund the unused part of what you have already paid. Closing your own account is always available to you, as described in Section 5.

11. Changes to the Service

We may modify or discontinue the Service, or any feature of it, at any time. Two things worth naming honestly: the extension runs inside Chrome and depends on the interfaces Chrome provides, so a change Google makes can alter or remove a feature without any decision of ours; and the extension is distributed through the Chrome Web Store, whose review and availability rules are likewise not ours to set.

If we discontinue the Service altogether while you hold a subscription, we will give reasonable notice and refund the part of your subscription that you have paid for and will not receive — a lifetime plan included, in proportion to how long it turned out to run. Beyond that, we are not liable for a modification, suspension or discontinuation of a feature.

12. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. The current version always lives on this page, with its revision date at the top. If a change materially reduces your rights, we will tell subscribers by email before it takes effect, and continuing to use the Service after that date is how you accept it. If you would rather not, you can close your account, and Section 7's refund terms apply as they normally would.

13. What We Do Not Promise

The Service is provided as is. We work to make it correct and we test it, but we do not warrant that it will be uninterrupted, error-free, or fit for a particular purpose of yours. In particular, and stated plainly rather than buried:

  • Link checking is a best guess, not a verdict. A site can answer an automated request with an error while working perfectly in a browser, can block requests it thinks come from a robot, or can be down for the minute we asked. Read "dead" as "worth looking at", and check before you delete in bulk
  • Duplicate and similarity detection are rules, not judgement. Two addresses that differ only cosmetically are treated as the same page; occasionally that is wrong, which is why every group tells you what it proposes to keep and lets you overrule it
  • Cleaning an address can change what it opens. Removing tracking parameters is safe on the overwhelming majority of links and is skipped on the kinds known not to survive it, but no rule covers every site on the web
  • Analysis is descriptive. A health score and the charts around it summarize your library on the inputs available; they are not advice, and an untested library is scored as untested rather than as healthy

14. Limitation of Liability

To the extent the law allows, our total liability to you for anything arising out of the Service is limited to what you have paid us in the twelve months before the claim, and we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, or for lost data where you had no backup of your own.

What that does not cover, and cannot: we do not exclude liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud, or for anything else the law does not permit us to exclude. If you are a consumer, this section does not reduce the rights the consumer law of the country you live in gives you — where those rights give you more than this section allows, they apply, exactly as with the refund terms above.

15. Contact Information

If you have any questions about these Terms, email us at [email protected] or use the contact form on this site. Signed in, the Contact Support page reaches the same place.
