Terms
The short version: we run one scan about you, you pay once, and you can delete your report and account whenever you want. We keep only a short receipt (see Privacy). The rest of this page says that more precisely.
Effective October 14, 2026 (version 4).
1. These terms
Scourjay is operated by KlipStudio LLC, a California limited liability company (“we” or “us”). These terms are an agreement between you and us. You accept them when you create an account and again when you pay. Our Privacy page explains how we handle your information.
2. Who can use Scourjay
- You must be at least 18 years old and able to enter a binding agreement.
- Scourjay checks sites that list people in the United States, and it is offered to people in the United States.
- One account and one scan per person. Don’t open more accounts to run more scans.
- Give us accurate information, keep your password to yourself, and tell us if you think someone else got into your account.
3. What we provide
One scan of public people-search listings, public profile pages for the usernames you give us, and known data breaches for your verified email address, for a one-time fee. There is no subscription and nothing renews. You get a report of what we found and DIY removal guidance for each finding. We do the looking; you do the removing. We don’t contact sites on your behalf.
We usually deliver your report within 72 hours of payment, and we’ll email you if it’s running late.
4. Scanning only you
Scourjay scans the person the details belong to. By using it, you confirm that the name, contact details, and usernames you enter are your own, and that you are running this scan on yourself. Scanning another person is not a feature we offer, and it breaks these terms.
We may ask you for more verification before we deliver a report, and we may leave out or hide any listing we can’t confirm is about you.
5. Not a background check
Scourjay is not a consumer reporting agency or an investigative consumer reporting agency, and your report is not a consumer report, under the federal Fair Credit Reporting Act or California law. You may not use Scourjay or anything in a report to decide whether someone gets a job, housing, credit, insurance, or any other benefit, or for any other purpose those laws cover. Don’t give your report to anyone else to use in a decision like that, about you or anyone else.
6. What you may not do
- Enter someone else’s details, or details you don’t control, or pretend to be someone else.
- Use Scourjay to find, contact, follow, harass, or harm anyone.
- Resell, publish, or share reports, or offer Scourjay as a service to others.
- Give us false information, or get around our verification or limits.
- Scrape, copy, reverse engineer, overload, or interfere with Scourjay, or use it to reach the sites it checks.
- Break the law while using Scourjay.
If we believe an account broke these rules, we may stop the scan, withhold the report, and close the account, without a refund, and we’ll record why.
7. Messages
We text your phone only to send verification codes, and we email you about your account, your scan, and your report. Message and data rates may apply. We don’t send marketing texts.
8. Payment and refunds
You pay once, by card, through Stripe, plus any tax that applies. Refunds go back to the card you paid with.
- Before we begin your scan: email us and we’ll refund you in full. We usually begin within a few hours of payment, so write soon if you change your mind.
- If we haven’t delivered your report within 72 hours of payment: we refund you in full, without you having to ask. If your report arrives after that, you still get it.
- If your report is mostly about someone else, you can’t open it, or a section is missing: tell us within 30 days of delivery and we’ll fix it, run it again, or refund you in full.
- Otherwise, once your report is delivered: no refunds. That includes a report that finds little or nothing. Knowing you’re hard to find is a result too.
9. Your report and our content
Your report is for your own personal use. You may download, print, and keep it. Everything else on Scourjay, including its design, text, and software, belongs to us or our licensors, and these terms don’t give you any other rights to it.
10. Other sites
Your report links to sites we don’t run, including the people-search sites and their opt-out pages. We aren’t responsible for those sites, what they publish, or whether they honor your removal requests.
11. Ending
You can delete your report and account at any time, except for the receipt described in Privacy. We may suspend or close an account that breaks these terms. The sections that by their nature should continue (including 6, 12, 13, 14, 15, and 16) still apply after your account ends.
12. What we don’t promise
- We don’t promise to find everything. Some sites block our public profile checks, and some listings change after we look.
- We don’t promise every listing is about you. With common names, a report can include a listing about someone else. Tell us and we’ll correct it.
- We don’t promise removal works or is permanent. Sites decide whether to honor opt-outs, and public records get re-published by the same sites or new ones.
- We don’t promise misuse of Scourjay is impossible. See section 4.
- Scourjay isn’t legal advice.
Apart from what these terms say, Scourjay is provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, to the fullest extent the law allows. Reports describe what public sources showed when we looked, and they can be incomplete or wrong.
13. Limits on our responsibility
To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential losses, and our total liability for any claim about Scourjay is limited to the greater of the amount you paid us or $100. These limits don’t apply to harm caused by our fraud, gross negligence, or willful misconduct, to personal injury caused by our negligence, or to any liability the law doesn’t allow us to limit.
If you live in New Jersey: the exclusion of indirect, incidental, special, and consequential losses and the cap on our total liability do not apply to claims under the New Jersey Consumer Fraud Act or to claims for personal injury, and nothing in these terms limits any other right you have under New Jersey law.
14. If you break these terms
If you enter someone else’s details or otherwise misuse Scourjay against another person, you agree to cover our reasonable costs, including legal fees, of any claim that person or anyone else brings against us because of it.
15. Disagreements
If something goes wrong, email us first and give us 30 days to try to fix it; most problems get fixed faster that way. These terms are governed by California law. Any dispute we can’t resolve will be decided by the state or federal courts for San Mateo County, California. You can also bring an individual claim in small claims court in the county where you live.
California residents: the Complaint Assistance Unit of the Division of Consumer Services of the California Department of Consumer Affairs can be reached in writing at 1625 North Market Blvd., Suite N 112, Sacramento, CA 95834, or by phone at (916) 445-1254 or (800) 952-5210.
16. General
- These terms and the documents they mention are the whole agreement between us about Scourjay.
- If a court finds part of these terms unenforceable, the rest still applies.
- If we don’t enforce a term right away, we haven’t given it up.
- You can’t transfer this agreement. We may transfer it to a company that takes over Scourjay, and these terms keep protecting you.
- You agree we can give you notices by email or in your account.
17. Data we use from others
Public profile checks use site data from WhatsMyName by Micah Hoffman and contributors, licensed under CC BY-SA 4.0. Scourjay has modified some entries, and the site names and web addresses we derive from it are available under the same license.
18. Changes
If we change these terms in a way that matters, we’ll email account holders at least 14 days before the change takes effect and update the version above. A change doesn’t apply to a dispute that already exists.
