Terms of Service & EULA
Last Updated: April 16th, 2024
These Terms of Service (“Terms”), End User License Agreement, and other documents referenced herein (collectively, the “Agreement”) are a binding agreement between Total Security Limited (incorporated in England under number 10161957) doing business (or trading) as TotalAdBlock (“Total Security Group”, “we,” “us,” or “our”) and you (“you,” “yourself,” “User,” or “Customer”). This Agreement sets forth the terms and conditions of your use of all Total Security Group's products and services (collectively, the “Services”). Within the scope of such Services, this Agreement covers both (i) your service plan; and (ii) any additional services you order to supplement your service plan, as further described on Our Services & Prices page. By accessing, using, purchasing any product or service offered by us, or registering for or receiving any of the Services, you are agreeing to be bound by this Agreement.
If you do not accept and agree to this Agreement then you must not access or use the Services.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES IS SUBJECT TO A MANDATORY ARBITRATION PROVISION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER SET FORTH BELOW WHICH REQUIRE YOU TO ARBITRATE DISPUTES WITH US ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND WAIVE YOUR RIGHT TO A COURT HEARING, RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL, AND RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION UNLESS YOU OPT-OUT.
For Users in the United States: Mandatory Arbitration and Class Action Waiver
- If you have a complaint, dispute, or controversy, you agree to first contact us by email at complaints@totaladblock.com or by mail at Total Security US LLC, Attention: Legal, WeWork Giralda Place, 2222 Ponce De Leon Blvd, Blvd Miami, FL33134, to attempt to resolve the dispute or controversy informally. You and Total Security Group agree that we will resolve any disputes between us that cannot be resolved through such informal process or through negotiation within 120 days through binding and final arbitration instead of through court proceedings. You and Total Security Group hereby waive any right to a jury trial of any Claim (defined below). All controversies, claims, counterclaims, or disputes arising between you and Total Security Group relating to these Terms of Service, End User License Agreement, Privacy Policy, any purchase you make from Total Security Group, any communications between you and Total Security Group (either directly or through a third party), and/or any aspect of our relationship with you (each a “Claim”) shall be submitted for binding arbitration in accordance with the Rules of the American Arbitration Association, Consumer Arbitration Rules (“AAA Rules”). The AAA’s Rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879. The arbitrator shall be selected by agreement of the parties or, if the parties cannot agree, chosen in accordance with the AAA Rules. The arbitration will be heard and determined by a single arbitrator in the English language in a location mutually agreed upon by us, or telephonically. The arbitrator's decision in any such arbitration will be final and binding upon the parties and may be enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction. The arbitrator shall have the exclusive and sole authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, construction, validity, applicability, or enforceability of these Terms of Service, End User License Agreement, Privacy Policy, this arbitration provision, and any other terms incorporated by reference into this Agreement. The arbitrator shall have the exclusive and sole authority to determine whether any dispute is arbitrable.
- Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA’s Rules. In all other respects, the parties shall each pay their own additional fees, costs, and expenses, including, but not limited to, those for any attorneys, experts, documents, and witnesses. This arbitration agreement does not preclude you or Total Security Group from seeking action by federal, state, or local government agencies. You and Total Security Group also have the right to bring qualifying claims in small claims court. In addition, you and Total Security Group retain the right to apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for provisional relief, including preliminary injunctions, and any such request shall not be deemed incompatible with this Agreement, nor a waiver of the right to have disputes submitted to arbitration as provided in this Agreement.
- The arbitrator shall follow the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16, as amended. In all other respects, the substantive law of the state of Delaware shall apply, without regard to conflicts of laws principles.
- NEITHER YOU NOR TOTAL SECURITY GROUP MAY ACT AS A CLASS REPRESENTATIVE OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL, NOR PARTICIPATE AS A MEMBER OF A CLASS OF CLAIMANTS, WITH RESPECT TO ANY CLAIM. CLAIMS MAY NOT BE ARBITRATED ON A CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE BASIS. THE ARBITRATOR CAN DECIDE ONLY YOUR OR TOTAL SECURITY GROUP'S INDIVIDUAL CLAIMS. THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE OR JOIN THE CLAIMS OF OTHER PERSONS OR PARTIES WHO MAY BE SIMILARLY SITUATED.
- If any provision of this section is found to be invalid or unenforceable, then that specific provision shall be of no force and effect and shall be severed, but the remainder of this Mandatory Arbitration Provision and Class Action Waiver shall continue in full force and effect, except that if the class action waiver is held unenforceable then this entire arbitration agreement shall be deemed unenforceable
- If any claim or dispute is found by the arbitrator to be excluded from this arbitration agreement above, the parties agree that any such claim or dispute shall be exclusively brought in and decided by the state or federal courts located in Delaware.
- This Section of the Agreement will survive the termination of your relationship with Total Security Group.
- 30 DAY RIGHT TO OPT-OUT. YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OPT-OUT AND NOT BE BOUND BY THE ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER PROVISIONS SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION OF THESE TERMS BY SENDING WRITTEN NOTICE OF YOUR DECISION TO OPT-OUT BY EMAILING US AT waiveroption@totaladblock.com. THE NOTICE MUST BE SENT WITHIN THIRTY (30) DAYS OF ACCEPTING THESE TERMS, OTHERWISE YOU SHALL BE BOUND TO ARBITRATE DISPUTES IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS OF THOSE SECTIONS. IF YOU OPT-OUT OF THESE ARBITRATION PROVISIONS, WE ALSO WILL NOT BE BOUND BY THEM.
- YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT YOU ARE WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY. THE RIGHTS THAT YOU WOULD HAVE IF YOU WENT TO COURT, SUCH AS DISCOVERY OR THE RIGHT TO APPEAL, MAY BE MORE LIMITED OR MAY NOT EXIST. YOU AGREE THAT YOU MAY ONLY BRING A CLAIM IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF (LEAD OR OTHERWISE) OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. YOU FURTHER AGREE THAT THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE PROCEEDINGS OR CLAIMS OR OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS PROCEEDING.
- THERE IS NO JUDGE OR JURY IN ARBITRATION, AND COURT REVIEW OF AN ARBITRATION AWARD IS LIMITED. HOWEVER, AN ARBITRATOR CAN AWARD ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS THE SAME DAMAGES AND RELIEF AS A COURT (INCLUDING INJUNCTIVE AND DECLARATORY RELIEF OR STATUTORY DAMAGES) AND MUST FOLLOW THESE TERMS AS A COURT WOULD.

- While Using Our Services. When you install or use one of our Services, it will run in the background of your device or environment to help predict threats and better protect you, your devices, and your information. We may automatically collect information about your interactions with the Services as well as devices on which the Services are installed. In some cases, we automatically collect information about other devices connected to the same network as the device on which the Services are installed. To provide you with our Services, including to detect and evaluate malware and spam, we may scan, collect, and store data from your files, including emails, attachments, email addresses, metadata, and URLs and traffic data. You expressly agree to our collection and use of your data.
- Data Breach Search. Total Security Group uses a third-party service provider to conduct a regular search of current or ongoing data breaches. The third-party provider searches a proprietary database of publicly available information concerning data breaches and other online data breach incidents based on the email address provided by a user. Total Security Group is not responsible for the accuracy or completeness of the results of any such search, nor are we affiliated with any website or brand that is listed. Whilst the Total Security Group can provide data breach results, we are not held responsible for the data shown, and nor do we claim to prevent future data breaches or detect all data breaches. No one can prevent all data breaches. We also reserve the right to conduct a data breach search on your behalf to enable us to provide you with informative feedback on whether or not you have been previously affected by a known data breach.

Modification and Updates of the Services
- Total Security Group may, from time to time, change the Services and any aspect or feature of the Services if considered necessary for security or legal reasons, to ensure the operability of the Services, to reflect advancements in technology or to enhance the features we are able to offer our customers. You hereby consent to automatic updates to the Services you have installed on your device.
- If Total Security Group modifies the Services in a material way, we will provide you with advance notice of the changes so that you have an opportunity to stop using the Services and cancel your account. This does not affect or limit your money-back guarantee (details of which are set out below) and, therefore, if you cancel within the relevant period of starting or renewing the Services, whether or not as a result of a change made by Total Security Group, you will receive a full refund where you request one.
-
Subscription Terms and Automatic Renewal
- Initial Term and Automatic Renewal. The initial subscription term for the Services will be the term you selected at the time you purchased the Services (e.g., either monthly or 12 months) (the “Initial Term”). Except in the case of trial offers, the Services will automatically renew for the same term length (each a “Renewal Term”) as the Initial Term. The Initial Term and any Renewal Terms shall be collectively referred to as the “Term.” All monthly and 12-month subscriptions will renew automatically at the end of the Term unless and until you cancel your subscription. To avoid being charged for an additional term, you must cancel before the end of the Term. A notice will be sent to you 30 days before your subscription automatically renews (the “Renewal Notice”). The Renewal Notice will be sent to the email address you have registered on file for your Total Security Group account and notice of auto renewal will appear in your control panel. It may be necessary for us to amend your renewal Term to provide you with the best service possible. Should this happen, you will be notified via email. It is your responsibility to ensure that the email address and other personal details in your user account remains current.
- Discount Promotions. If you receive a discount on your Initial Term, your Services will automatically renew at the then current non-discounted price listed on our pricing page. You acknowledge, agree, and authorize Total Security Group to automatically charge the applicable fee to your payment method in accordance with the Pricing, Billing and Payment terms herein.
- Exceptions to Automatic Renewal. If you are in dispute with Total Security Group or have previously requested a chargeback that we have successfully challenged, your Services will not automatically renew at the end of your existing service term. We are unable to return disputed charges.
- Trial Licenses. If you requested and received a free seven (7)-day or thirty (30)-day trial license, Total Security Group grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable and limited license to use the Services via the Total Security Group Software only during such the trial or evaluation period in accordance with this Agreement. The free trial and evaluation license is only valid for your use of the Services via the Total Security Group Services on one device during the seven (7)-day or thirty (30)-day period and is limited to one trial license per calendar year, per device. Your trial license to use the Services will automatically terminate upon the expiration or termination of the trial license period unless you purchase a full subscription to the Services.
- Our Continuous Protection Service provides complimentary access to a range of value-added services. In order for these to be utilized you must have your auto-renewal preferences enabled, which can be found in 'My Services' within your account and maintain an active billing relationship with us. Once this relationship has been terminated, access to the value-added services which are included within the Continuous Protection service will be restricted within a 48- hour period of disabling and only accessible again once this billing relationship has been reactivated.

Pricing, Billing and Payment

If you have claimed an introductory or special promotion offer on your Initial Term, your Services will automatically renew at the then current non-discounted price listed on our pricing page.
- Billing Process. Our service charges will be calculated based on the service plan you selected at the time of purchase, the number of devices you wish to protect plus any charges for additional services you have ordered. If the Services you purchase from Total Security Group are billed on a monthly basis, you will be billed in full month increments. If our initial attempt to charge your payment method for the full subscription charge fails, we may reattempt to charge your payment method in separate charges that total the full subscription charge for your selected Services or downgrade your subscription into shorter Terms.
- Payments. You agree to pay Total Security Group, during the Initial Term or each month, as applicable, depending on your choice of service plan, all fees for the Services, as set forth on the pricing page at the time you purchase the Services. You acknowledge, agree, and authorize Total Security Group to automatically charge the applicable fee to any payment method that has been added to your account, each month or Renewal Term (as applicable), unless and until you cancel the Services before the end of the Initial Term or any Renewal Term. All charges will be taken on the date of renewal; for example, for monthly subscription plans, your payment method will be charged at the end of your monthly cycle for these Services. If the payment method on file with Total Security Group has expired or does not permit automatic renewals, you must contact Total Security Group to renew the Services. If you do not renew your Services upon its renewal date, your access will be terminated. Once your data has been queued for deletion, it cannot be retrieved by Total Security Group. You are responsible for ensuring that your billing information with Total Security Group is accurate. We also accept certain pre-paid payment methods.

Your Data Protection Rights
Location of Personal Information and Transfers.
Many of our external third parties are based outside the European Economic Area (EEA) and the United Kingdom so their processing of your personal data will involve a transfer of data outside the EEA and the United Kingdom.
Whenever we transfer your personal data out of the EEA (where relevant) or the United Kingdom, we ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by ensuring at least one of the following safeguards is implemented:
- We will only transfer your personal data to countries that have been deemed to provide an ‘adequate’ level of protection for personal data by the relevant authority or body.
- Where we use certain service providers, we may use specific contracts approved by the by the relevant authority or body (Model Clauses)
- Where we use providers based in the US, we may transfer data to them if they are part of the Privacy Shield (or similar arrangement) which requires them to provide similar protection to personal data shared between the UK and the US; or
- Any other safeguard approved by the UK Government or Information Commissioner’s Office.
Please contact us by visiting our Help Center if you want further information on the specific mechanism used by us when transferring your personal data to any country outside the United Kingdom.
Rights of Access, Correction, Erasure, and Restriction
Your rights in connection with personal information. Under certain circumstances, by law you have the right to:
- Request access to your personal information (commonly known as a “data subject access request”). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal information we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.
- Request correction of the personal information that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate information we hold about you corrected.
- Request erasure of your personal information. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal information where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal information where you have exercised your right to object to processing (see below).
- Object to processing of your personal information where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground. You also have the right to object where we are processing your personal information for direct marketing purposes.
- Request the restriction of processing of your personal information. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of personal information about you, for example if you want us to establish its accuracy or the reason for processing it.
- Request the transfer of your personal information to another party.
If you want to review, verify, correct or request erasure of your personal information, object to the processing of your personal data, or request that we transfer a copy of your personal information to another party, please contact us by visiting our GDPR Hub
No fee usually requiredYou will not have to pay a fee to access your personal information (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request for access is clearly unfounded or excessive. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with the request in such circumstances.
What we may need from youWe may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access the information (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is another appropriate security measure to ensure that personal information is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it.
Time limit to respondWe try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it may take us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.
Third Party Links and Services
We may provide links to other third party websites as a convenience to you (collectively, the “Third Party Websites”). Please exercise care when visiting any Third Party Websites. The Third Party Websites have separate and independent privacy policies, notices and terms of use which govern your use of such websites and their use of any information they collect, we recommend you read these policies carefully. Total Security Limited expressly disclaims all liability for Personal Information you provide to any Third Party Websites.
