These Terms of Service ("Terms", "Agreement") constitute a legally binding agreement between you ("User", "you", "your") and Ingesto ("we", "us", "our", "Ingesto") governing your use of the Ingesto browser extension (the "Extension", "Service").

By downloading, installing, accessing, or using the Extension, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not install or use the Extension.

Keyboard shortcuts and context menu integration

The Extension is provided "as is" and we reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any aspect of the Service at any time without prior notice.
