Terms of service
Last updated 7 November 2026
These terms cover NetSieve, the Mac app, and netsieve.app. NetSieve is run by PulpTech, Kavilakudiyil, East Kadathy, Market PO, Muvattupuzha, Kerala 686673, India (“we”). By buying or using NetSieve, you agree to them.
Buying NetSieve
Our order process is run by our online reseller Paddle.com, the Merchant of Record for all our orders. Paddle handles payment, tax, and order questions and returns, under its own buyer terms.
You need a NetSieve account to buy, and a licence to use the app. Both plans are one-time payments with no automatic renewal.
- 1 Year: use on 1 Mac for 12 months from purchase, with updates during that time. It then ends and doesn’t renew.
- Forever: use on up to 5 Macs with no end date, with all future updates to NetSieve for Mac for as long as we offer them.
Your licence
We give you a personal, non-transferable right to use NetSieve on the number of Macs your plan allows. Don’t share or resell your key, or try to get around the licence check. If a payment is refunded or reversed, the licence is cancelled and stops working on every Mac using it.
Third-party data
NetSieve uses block lists and data from other projects, credited in the app’s Settings. They stay under their own licences, and nothing in these terms limits the rights those licences give you.
When a licence ends
NetSieve stops blocking and puts your original network settings back, so your internet keeps working. You can add a new licence at any time.
What NetSieve can’t do
NetSieve works by checking the addresses your Mac looks up. It can’t block everything. Ads from the same site as the content, like YouTube video ads, still appear, and so do apps that use their own private DNS. It sometimes blocks things you wanted, and you can allow those. It isn’t antivirus software or a guarantee of safety.
Acceptable use
Only use NetSieve on computers and networks you’re allowed to manage, and don’t use it to break the law.
No warranty and liability
NetSieve is provided “as is”, without warranties beyond those the law requires. To the extent the law allows, our total liability is limited to what you paid for NetSieve, and we’re not liable for indirect or consequential loss. Nothing here limits rights you have under consumer law that can’t be waived.
Changes
We may update these terms and will post changes here.
