Acceptance
By installing or using the HTTP Monitor extension you accept these terms. If you disagree
with any of them, the remedy is to uninstall it: there is no version of the tool offered
under different conditions.
These terms sit alongside the privacy policy, which describes
what the extension does with the information it sees.
Licence to use
You are granted a personal, free, non-exclusive and revocable licence to install and use the
extension, on any number of machines, for software development, testing, debugging and
diagnostics, whether personal or professional.
The licence covers use of the program as distributed. It does not include rights over the
source code, nor permission to redistribute it, resell it or publish derivative versions.
Acceptable use
This is an interception tool. Use it only on systems you own or are expressly authorised
to work on.
Holding that authorisation is entirely your responsibility. Intercepting, modifying or
recording traffic of a service that is not yours may breach that service's terms and
applicable law, including rules on unauthorised access to computer systems and on the
interception of communications. The extension cannot tell your environment from someone
else's; you make that distinction.
You are also responsible for what appears on your screen and for the files you export. A
record of a real session may contain credentials and third parties' personal data:
processing, sharing or keeping it makes you responsible for it under whatever regulations
apply.
Prohibited uses
You may not use the extension to:
- Access systems, data or accounts belonging to others without authorisation.
-
Capture other people's credentials, session tokens or personal information without their
consent and without a legal basis.
- Circumvent security, licensing, payment or authentication controls of third-party services.
- Manipulate traffic in order to defraud, impersonate or falsify records.
- Interfere with the operation of someone else's service, including sending requests in bulk.
-
Any activity unlawful under the law that applies to you, or contrary to the terms of the
service you act upon.
Detecting such use entitles the author to revoke the licence granted in clause 02, without
prejudice to any legal action that may apply.
Your data and your backups
Everything the extension stores lives in your browser: rules, profiles and captures. Which
means it also depends on your browser. Clearing site data, wiping the browser profile,
reinstalling the extension or moving to another machine removes that information, and there
is no copy anywhere else, because nothing is ever sent to any server.
If a configuration matters to you, export it. The tool offers a full configuration export
precisely for that, and keeping that file is your responsibility.
No warranties
The extension is provided as is, without warranty of any kind, express or
implied, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a
particular purpose, and freedom from errors or interruptions.
In particular, it is not warranted to intercept all of a page's network activity. A browser
has paths an extension cannot reach, and the tool itself documents the limits of each of its
three layers. Never treat the absence of a call from the capture list as proof that the call
did not happen.
Nor is the extension warranted to be harmless to the application under observation: modifying
a response, blocking a domain or simulating a disconnection changes the page's behaviour on
purpose, and doing so against a production environment can have real consequences.
Limit of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the author shall not be liable for any
direct, indirect, incidental, special, punitive or consequential damages arising from the use
of, or the inability to use, the extension. This includes, among others, loss of data,
service interruption, lost profits, reputational harm and any damage caused to third
parties.
As this is free software, and to the extent the law permits, the author's total liability for
any claim relating to the extension shall not exceed zero Colombian pesos.
Nothing in this clause excludes liabilities that applicable law declares non-waivable.
Intellectual property
The code, design, documentation, the name "HTTP Monitor" and the graphic elements of the
extension and of this site belong to their author. The licence in clause 02 permits use of
the program; it transfers no intellectual property rights.
The rules, profiles, scripts and captures you create with the tool are yours. The author
claims no rights over them and, in fact, has no way of seeing them.
Third-party components
The extension bundles open-source libraries distributed under the MIT licence: React and
React DOM, Ant Design with its icon set, the Monaco editor with its React adapter, and
TanStack Virtual. Each keeps its own licence and copyright notices, which remain inside the
distributed package.
Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Chrome Web Store and Postman are trademarks of their respective
owners. Naming them describes compatibility and interoperability; it implies no affiliation,
sponsorship or endorsement.
Updates and continuity
The author may release new versions, change features, withdraw one, or stop maintaining the
extension, with no obligation of prior notice or ongoing support. Updates arrive through the
browser store's channel and may install automatically depending on your browser's settings.
A change affecting how information is handled is reflected in the privacy policy before it
ships, and relevant changes are recorded in the release notes.
Termination
You may terminate this licence at any time by uninstalling the extension. The author may
revoke it if you breach these terms. After termination your right to use ends, and the
clauses on absence of warranties, limit of liability and intellectual property remain in
force.
Changes to these terms
These terms may be updated. The version in force is always the one published on this page,
with its date in the header. Continuing to use the extension after an update means accepting
the version in force; if a change is not acceptable to you, the remedy remains uninstalling
it.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Colombia. Any dispute that cannot be
resolved in good faith shall be submitted to the competent courts of Colombia.
If any clause is found invalid or unenforceable, it shall be construed as closely as possible
to its original intent and the remaining clauses shall stay in full force.
