1. General provisions

These Terms of Service (the «Agreement») govern the relationship between the Operator — Самозанятый (плательщик налога на профессиональный доход), Павлович В.В. (the «Operator», «we») and the natural person (the «User», «you») using the UptimeDog service.

The service is available on the website uptimedog.org and in the Telegram bot @UptimeDogBot. Using the service means full and unconditional acceptance of this Agreement.

2. Definitions

  • Service — the UptimeDog software suite providing monitoring of HTTP availability of sites, SSL certificates and domains.
  • Account — a record in the system associated with the user's Telegram ID or email.
  • Free — a free plan with limited functionality.
  • Premium — a paid subscription with extended capabilities.

3. Registration and account

Using the basic functionality is possible after authorizing via Telegram or Google. The user undertakes to provide accurate information and not to share access to their account with third parties.

4. Service description

UptimeDog automatically checks the availability of the web resources specified by the user and notifies them of events (an outage, recovery, the upcoming expiry of an SSL certificate or domain) via the Telegram bot.

We strive to keep the service running smoothly, but we don't guarantee absolute uptime. Scheduled work and incidents are published on the service status page.
