drafted 19 Jul 2026 · every clause below derives from a recorded decision — the chip on each section names it. you'll confirm these once, at your first accept, and never be asked again.
Signing up just takes an email and a password — there's no Amazon login, no browser session, and nothing to connect on your end. CrawlGecko runs every pull on its own infrastructure.
Money moves only when you accept a run — after you've previewed it. Discarded runs cost $0.00, always. Runs that return nothing bill nothing. Export unlocks on accept. Your balance is derived from an append-only record of these events; it is never edited by hand.
Discards cost $0.00 — three consecutive discards triggers a 6-hour cool-off. The run and its error route to us to fix or refund, then you resume. This keeps the free-discard promise honest for everyone without ever billing a rejected run.
Every value you export physically exists at a verified location on the page CrawlGecko pulled. A field is a value, honestly empty (∅), or "not confirmed" — we render those three states verbatim and never manufacture a fourth. Empty cells are facts, not defects.
Credits are funded by card or, once compliance review completes, on-chain. Card is near-instant; crypto credits are added once your payment confirms on-chain. Nothing is granted until a payment is verified — and nothing about how you paid ever touches how your runs behave.
"Ask your reviews" runs on a key you bring. It is stored in your browser, never on our servers — a custody layer entirely separate from the rest of your account.
