Terms of service

Last updated 14 November 2026

The service

MakerGuardian checks your Etsy shop, listings, photos and the files you upload for possible conflicts with Etsy's published policies, and shows each issue with the policy it relates to. By using MakerGuardian you agree to these terms.

Not legal advice, no guarantee

Our results are automated suggestions based on our reading of Etsy's public policies. They are not legal advice. Etsy does not publish how it enforces its rules, so we cannot guarantee that Etsy will or won't take action on any listing or shop. You decide what to change.

Your account

You log in with your Etsy account and may only scan a shop you own or are authorised to manage. We use read-only access and never change anything in your shop.

Files you upload

Upload only files you have the right to share with us. You keep all rights to them. We use them only to run your scan and delete them when it finishes. Don't upload malware or anything unlawful.

Payments

• Full scan, $29 one time: one scan plus one re-scan within 30 days. A scan that fails on our side doesn't use up your credit.
• Monitoring, $19 per month: unlimited scans and a daily re-scan while the subscription is active. Cancel at any time from the billing portal. It stays active until the end of the period you've paid for.

Stripe processes payments. Prices are in US dollars, and taxes are added where required. If something went wrong, write to us and we'll put it right.

Acceptable use

Don't try to break, overload or reverse-engineer the service, get around its limits, or use it to collect data about shops you don't run.

Etsy

The term 'Etsy' is a trademark of Etsy, Inc. This application uses the Etsy API but is not endorsed or certified by Etsy, Inc. Your use of Etsy remains subject to Etsy's own terms.

Liability

To the extent the law allows, the service is provided "as is", and our total liability is limited to what you paid us in the 12 months before the claim. Nothing here limits rights you have as a consumer that cannot be limited by law.

Changes and contact

We may update these terms, and we'll change the date above when we do. Questions: hello@makerguardian.com.
