GrowthConsole Terms of Service

Effective date: September 27, 2026
Last updated: September 27, 2026

These Terms of Service (the "Terms") are a legal agreement between you and Growth Gauge, Inc., a Florida corporation ("Growth Gauge," "we," "us," or "our"). They govern your use of the GrowthConsole desktop application for macOS, including any updates (the "App"), the website at https://www.growthconsole.com (the "Website"), and related documentation, licensing, and support services (together, the "Services").

Please read these Terms carefully. By downloading, installing, or using the App, buying a license, or using the Website, you agree to these Terms. If you are accepting these Terms on behalf of a company or other organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization, and "you" refers to that organization. If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the Services.

Section 6 explains that Pro Licenses renew automatically until you cancel.

1. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old, or the age of legal majority where you live, to use the Services. The Services are intended for business and professional use.

2. Privacy

Our Privacy Policy explains what information we collect and how we use it. It is part of these Terms. In short, the App stores your Google Search Console data locally on your Mac, and we do not receive that data.

3. Licenses

3.1 License grant

Subject to your compliance with these Terms, Growth Gauge grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to download, install, and use the App on Apple computers that you own or control, for your internal business or personal purposes, under the license tier you hold.

3.2 License tiers

  • Lite License. The Lite License is free. It gives access to the App's features, subject to the usage limits described on the Website (for example, limits on linked profiles, simultaneously updating properties, and content groupings). No registration is required.
  • Pro License. The Pro License is a paid annual subscription that removes or raises the Lite License limits and includes additional benefits described on the Website, such as priority support.

We may change the features, limits, or benefits of either tier from time to time. If we make a material change that reduces the benefits of a Pro License during a paid subscription term, we will give you reasonable advance notice. If you object, you may cancel and request a prorated refund for the unused part of that term.

3.3 License keys and activations

Pro Licenses are delivered as license keys. A license key may be limited to a certain number of devices or activations, as stated at the time of purchase. You are responsible for keeping your license key confidential. You may not share, publish, resell, or transfer your license key except as we expressly permit. We may deactivate license keys that we reasonably believe are being shared, resold, or used in violation of these Terms.

3.4 Restrictions

Except as permitted by applicable law or by these Terms, you may not:

  • Copy, modify, translate, or create derivative works of the App;
  • Reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or try to discover the App's source code, except to the extent this restriction is prohibited by law;
  • Remove, bypass, disable, or interfere with license checks, usage limits, or other technical protections;
  • Rent, lease, lend, sell, sublicense, distribute, or otherwise make the App available to third parties, including as a hosted or service-bureau offering;
  • Use the App to access Google Search Console properties or other data you are not authorized to access;
  • Use the Services in violation of any law, or of Google's terms, policies, or API usage limits;
  • Remove or alter any proprietary notices, labels, or marks in the App.

3.5 Ownership

The App and the Services, including all software, designs, text, graphics, logos, and other content we provide, are owned by Growth Gauge or its licensors and are protected by intellectual property laws. The App is licensed, not sold. We reserve all rights not expressly granted in these Terms. "GrowthConsole" and "Growth Gauge" and related logos are trademarks of Growth Gauge, Inc. You may not use them without our prior written permission.

4. Your Data

4.1 You own your data

As between you and Growth Gauge, you own all data you retrieve, create, or store using the App, including Google Search Console data, content groupings, annotations, and exports ("Your Data"). We claim no ownership of Your Data.

4.2 Local storage and your responsibilities

The App stores Your Data on your Mac. We do not host, receive, or back up Your Data, and we cannot recover it if it is lost, deleted, or corrupted. You are responsible for:

  • Maintaining backups of your GrowthConsole data files;
  • Securing the devices on which Your Data is stored;
  • Complying with any laws, contracts, or client obligations that apply to Your Data, including when you export or share it.

4.3 Authorization

By connecting a Google account or Search Console property to the App, you represent that you have the right and authorization to access that data and to download and store it using the App.

5. Third-Party Services

5.1 Google Search Console

The App works with Google Search Console through Google's APIs. Your use of Google's services is governed by Google's own terms and policies. GrowthConsole is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Google LLC. Google Search Console is a trademark of Google LLC.

We do not control Google's services. Google may change, limit, throttle, or discontinue its APIs, data retention periods, quotas, or the data it makes available at any time. These changes may affect what the App can do, and we are not responsible for them. The App can only back up data that Google makes available through its APIs at the time a backup runs. Data that Google has already deleted before your first backup cannot be recovered.

5.2 Lemon Squeezy

Purchases of Pro Licenses are processed by Lemon Squeezy, which acts as our reseller and merchant of record. When you buy a Pro License, you are buying from Lemon Squeezy, and your purchase is also subject to Lemon Squeezy's terms and privacy policy. Lemon Squeezy handles payment processing, sales tax and VAT, invoicing, and refund processing.

5.3 Other third-party services

The Services may link to or work with other third-party websites or services. We are not responsible for third-party services, and your use of them is at your own risk and subject to their terms.

6. Payment, Automatic Renewal, and Cancellation

6.1 Fees

The price of a Pro License is shown on the Website at the time of purchase (currently $199 USD per year), plus any applicable taxes, which Lemon Squeezy calculates and collects. All fees are in U.S. dollars unless otherwise stated.

6.2 Automatic renewal

Your Pro License is a subscription that renews automatically. Unless you cancel before the end of your current subscription term, your Pro License will automatically renew for another one-year term. Your payment method on file will be charged the then-current annual price, plus applicable taxes, on or shortly after each renewal date. By purchasing a Pro License, you authorize these recurring charges until you cancel.

We will send a reminder by email before your subscription renews, to the email address associated with your purchase.

6.3 How to cancel

You can cancel automatic renewal at any time by:

  • Using the customer portal link in your Lemon Squeezy receipt or subscription email; or
  • Emailing us at support@growthconsole.com.

Cancellation stops future renewals. Your Pro License will stay active until the end of the current paid term. After that, the App will return to the Lite License, and the Lite License limits will apply. Your locally stored data will not be deleted, but Pro-only capacity (such as additional properties or content groupings beyond Lite limits) may no longer update or be editable until you renew.

6.4 Price changes

We may change the price of the Pro License. If we increase the price of your subscription, we will notify you at least 30 days before the increase takes effect at your next renewal. If you do not want to pay the new price, you may cancel before the renewal date.

6.5 Failed payments

If a renewal payment fails, Lemon Squeezy may retry the charge. If payment is not completed, your Pro License may be suspended or downgraded to the Lite License until payment is made.

7. Refunds

14-day refund. If you are not satisfied with a new Pro License purchase, you may request a full refund within 14 days of the original purchase date, no questions asked. The same 14-day refund window applies to each automatic annual renewal charge, measured from the renewal date.

To request a refund, email support@growthconsole.com from the email address used for the purchase, or use the Lemon Squeezy customer portal. Refunds are issued to the original payment method through Lemon Squeezy. When a refund is issued, the related license key will be deactivated.

After the 14-day window, fees are non-refundable, and we do not provide refunds or credits for partial subscription periods, except as described in Section 3.2 or where required by law.

If you are a consumer in a country that gives you a statutory right to withdraw from a purchase, those rights are not affected by these Terms.

8. Updates and Changes to the Services

We may release updates, upgrades, bug fixes, and new versions of the App. Some updates may be required to keep using the App or to maintain compatibility with Google's APIs or macOS. The App may check for updates automatically, as described in our Privacy Policy.

We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Services at any time. If we discontinue the Pro License entirely, we will provide a prorated refund of any prepaid fees for the unused portion of your current term.

We do not guarantee that the App will be compatible with every version of macOS or every Mac model. Current system requirements are listed on the Website.

9. Support

We provide support by email. Pro License holders receive priority support. We will make reasonable efforts to respond to support requests, but we do not guarantee specific response times or that every issue can be resolved.

10. Feedback

If you send us suggestions, ideas, or other feedback about the Services, you grant us a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free right to use it for any purpose without obligation to you.

11. Disclaimer of Warranties

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE SERVICES, INCLUDING THE APP, ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY. GROWTH GAUGE DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTIES ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE.

WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT: (A) THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR SECURE; (B) ANY DATA RETRIEVED FROM GOOGLE OR PRODUCED BY THE APP WILL BE ACCURATE, COMPLETE, OR RELIABLE; (C) BACKUPS WILL CAPTURE ALL DATA OR BE FREE FROM LOSS OR CORRUPTION; OR (D) THE SERVICES WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS OR ACHIEVE ANY PARTICULAR BUSINESS OR SEARCH RANKING RESULT.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties, so some of these exclusions may not apply to you.

12. Limitation of Liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW:

(A) IN NO EVENT WILL GROWTH GAUGE, ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, OR LICENSORS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, BUSINESS, GOODWILL, OR DATA, OR COSTS OF SUBSTITUTE SERVICES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICES, WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

(B) GROWTH GAUGE'S TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICES WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF: (I) THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID FOR THE SERVICES IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM; OR (II) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS ($100).

These limitations apply even if a limited remedy fails of its essential purpose. Some jurisdictions do not allow the limitation or exclusion of certain damages, so some of these limitations may not apply to you.

13. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Growth Gauge and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising out of or related to: (a) your use of the Services in violation of these Terms; (b) your violation of any law or the rights of a third party; or (c) your access to, storage, or use of data you were not authorized to access, including through Google Search Console.

14. Termination

You may stop using the Services at any time by uninstalling the App. To stop future charges, cancel your Pro subscription as described in Section 6.3.

We may suspend or terminate your license, including by deactivating your license key, if you materially breach these Terms and, where the breach can be fixed, you do not fix it within 10 days of notice from us. We may act immediately, without notice, in cases of license key sharing, fraud, or illegal use.

When your license ends, you must stop using the App under that license tier. Sections 3.4, 3.5, 4, 10, 11, 12, 13, 15, and 16, and any other provisions that by their nature should survive, will survive termination.

15. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

15.1 Governing law

These Terms and any dispute arising out of or related to them or the Services are governed by the laws of the State of Florida and applicable U.S. federal law, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.

15.2 Informal resolution first

Before filing any claim, you and Growth Gauge agree to try to resolve the dispute informally. To start, send a written description of the dispute to legal@growthconsole.com. If the dispute is not resolved within 30 days of that notice, either party may bring a formal claim.

15.3 Venue

Any legal action arising out of or related to these Terms or the Services must be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in [COUNTY] County, Florida, and you and Growth Gauge consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts. Either party may, however, seek injunctive or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to protect its intellectual property rights.

15.4 Time limit for claims

To the extent permitted by law, any claim arising out of or related to these Terms or the Services must be filed within one year after the claim arose. Otherwise, the claim is permanently barred.

16. General Terms

  • Changes to these Terms. We may update these Terms from time to time. We will change the "Last updated" date above, and for material changes we will give reasonable advance notice, such as a notice on the Website or an email to Pro License holders. Changes will not apply retroactively. Continuing to use the Services after changes take effect means you accept the revised Terms. If you do not agree, stop using the Services and cancel any subscription.
  • Export control. You agree to comply with all applicable U.S. export control and sanctions laws. You represent that you are not located in a country subject to a comprehensive U.S. embargo and are not on any U.S. government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
  • U.S. government users. The App is "commercial computer software" and is licensed to U.S. government end users only as a commercial item, with the same rights granted to all other users under these Terms.
  • Entire agreement. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any terms shown at the time of purchase, are the entire agreement between you and Growth Gauge about the Services, and they replace any prior agreements on that subject.
  • Severability. If any part of these Terms is found unenforceable, that part will be enforced to the maximum extent permitted, and the rest of these Terms will remain in effect.
  • No waiver. Our failure to enforce any right or provision is not a waiver of that right or provision.
  • Assignment. You may not assign or transfer these Terms or your license without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of assets, or to an affiliate.
  • Force majeure. We are not liable for any delay or failure to perform caused by events beyond our reasonable control, including outages or changes to third-party services such as Google's APIs.
  • Notices. We may send notices to the email address associated with your purchase or by posting them on the Website. You may send notices to us at legal@growthconsole.com.
  • Relationship. Nothing in these Terms creates a partnership, joint venture, employment, or agency relationship.
  • Headings. Section headings are for convenience only and do not affect interpretation
