Terms of Service

By accessing downdetectordowndetectordowndetector.com ("the site"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you disagree with any part of these terms, you may not access the site.

Yes, we know nobody reads these. But here they are anyway.

This site provides a parody monitoring service that checks whether downdetector.com is accessible. It exists primarily for entertainment and as a commentary on the recursive nature of monitoring services.

The service includes:

• A web interface displaying the current status of downdetector.com
• A public API endpoint for programmatic access
• A contact form for inquiries

The status information provided is based on automated HTTP checks and may not accurately reflect the true availability of downdetector.com. Factors that can affect accuracy include:

• Bot detection and Cloudflare protection on downdetector.com
• Network conditions between our server and the target
• Partial outages that affect some users but not others
• The inherent limitations of monitoring from a single location

Do not rely on this service for critical decision-making.

You agree not to:

• Attempt to disrupt or overload the service
• Use automated tools to excessively query the API
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to the server
• Use the contact form for spam or harassment
• Misrepresent this site as being affiliated with DownDetector or Ookla

"DownDetector" is a trademark of Ookla, LLC. This site is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to DownDetector or Ookla in any way. Use of the name is for identification and parody purposes only.

We do not warrant that the service will be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free. If this site goes down, you'll have to find out some other way whether downdetector.com is down. That's kind of the joke.

IN NO EVENT SHALL THE SITE OPERATOR BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE.

Honestly, it's a parody site that checks if another website is up. The stakes are pretty low here.

We reserve the right to modify these terms at any time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance of the new terms.
