Terms of Use
By accessing and using Purge.cc and its services, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these terms and conditions. If you do not agree with any part of these terms, you must not use our services.

Disclaimers
No Warranty
The blocklists provided by Purge.cc are offered "AS-IS" without any warranty of any kind, either express or implied.
- •We accept no responsibility for problems, malfunctions, or service disruptions caused by using these lists
- •The service may be interrupted, modified, or discontinued at any time without notice

Domain Inclusion Policy
All domains in our blocklists are sourced from aggregated third-party blocklist providers. Purge.cc does not manually add individual domains.
We cannot guarantee domain removal because we cannot verify the genuineness of removal requests, and we cannot ensure a domain will not reappear in future source list updates.
Workaround: If a blocked domain is important for your navigation, add it to your Pi-hole or AdGuard whitelist.
Security Limitations
DNS-level blocking provides a layer of protection, but it is NOT a complete security solution.
You should also implement:
- •Antivirus and anti-malware software
- •Firewall protection
- •Browser security extensions
- •Safe browsing practices
- •Regular software updates
You are responsible for your own comprehensive security strategy.

- •Damages arising from the use or inability to use the service
- •Any errors or omissions in the blocklists
Indemnification: By using our services, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless Purge.cc and its operators from any claims, damages, or expenses arising from your use of the blocklists.
