Yes, all plans on MaxGuard automatically renew based on their specified time frame. You can stop your subscription by canceling it before the renewal date. Please be aware that in order to utilize the clicks you have purchased, an active billing plan is required.
The frequency of charges depends on the specific plan you choose. Pay-per-use plans on MaxGuard automatically renew on a monthly basis.
Yes, our Pay-per-use plans are set to automatically renew on a monthly basis. This decision is based on the fact that a significant majority of our users maintain consistent traffic levels. By implementing automatic monthly billing, we aim to streamline the renewal process and alleviate the burden of manual renewals. It is important to note that we do not initiate billing without your explicit consent, and you receive notification when you initially sign up on MaxGuard. The specific dates of renewal are also provided for your reference.
The monthly subscription model allows us to cover ongoing expenses, invest in database upgrades, provide comprehensive client support, and drive innovation by introducing new features that align with the dynamic nature of the industry.
However, should you prefer to opt out of the monthly subscription, you have the option to do so by accessing the Billing section and selecting “Cancel Account.” By following the provided prompts, your pay-per-use account will remain active until the end of the current billing cycle. Please note that any unused clicks will expire at the conclusion of the billing cycle, and we do not offer partial refunds for unused clicks beyond this point.
When your subscription renews, any unused click credits from the previous month will automatically carry over to the new month, ensuring that you maximize the value of your subscription.
If you decide to reactivate your plan in the future, simply choose the “Reactivate” option, and your account will be reinstated accordingly.
Yes, the Pay-per-use Events plan on MaxGuard is exclusive to subscription-based billing. Indeed, the Pay-per-use Plan operates solely on a subscription basis.
To clarify, if you opt for a monthly payment of $299, any remaining unused clicks will carry over to the subsequent month and will not expire, provided that your subscription remains active.
Let’s consider an example to illustrate this further: In the first month, you utilize 20,000 clicks and conclude with a balance of 130,000 clicks. Upon renewal for the second month, you make a payment of $299 and receive an additional 150,000 clicks, combining the remaining 130,000 clicks from the previous month. Consequently, you will have a total of 280,000 clicks at your disposal. This pattern continues as long as you maintain the subscription. Even on the 12th month, upon renewal, you can still utilize the clicks from the 1st month if they remain unused. However, if you choose not to renew your subscription, your account will be reset to 0 clicks and deactivated after a three-day grace period. Reactivating your account requires resubscribing to any of our plans.
Unfortunately, no. Our chat support service is specifically reserved for active subscribers. Additionally, should you decide to cancel your subscription, your account will be effectively terminated, and any remaining click credits will be forfeited at the conclusion of your current billing cycle.

Traffic Filtering, sometimes referred to as Cloaking, is a powerful security mechanism that allows only legitimate visitors to access real website content while blocking or redirecting malicious bots, competitors, and unauthorized entities. By utilizing these techniques, MaxGuard ensures that your website remains protected from potential threats and offers an optimized user experience. Our implementation of Traffic Filtering focuses exclusively on legitimate purposes, such as enhancing security and improving website performance.
Historically, cloaking received a negative reputation due to its misuse in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Some SEO practitioners employed cloaking deceptively to manipulate search engine rankings by showing different content to bots and users. Google responded with its Panda and Penguin algorithm updates in 2011 and 2012, which successfully mitigated the impact of such unethical practices.
However, it’s important to understand that Google’s algorithms do not penalize cloaking in all instances. Legitimate uses, such as tailoring content based on geolocation, user preferences, or dynamic delivery for a better user experience, are fully compliant with search engine guidelines. MaxGuard’s use of cloaking is focused entirely on protecting websites and improving their functionality without engaging in any deceptive practices.
Before labeling MaxGuard as fraudulent, it is essential to note that cloaking, as implemented by MaxGuard, is designed to safeguard websites from unauthorized access. Our platform is committed to ethical practices and firmly opposes any use of cloaking that aims to circumvent platform rules or violate any legal guidelines.

While MaxGuard aggregates this information to enhance its fraud detection capabilities, users are responsible for making informed decisions based on this data. We do not control the accuracy of external sources and advise users to use these tools in conjunction with other security measures.
User Responsibility and Compliance: Users of MaxGuard are responsible for ensuring their use of the platform complies with all local, national, and international laws. MaxGuard provides tools designed for legitimate and ethical use, but the responsibility for any misuse lies solely with the user. It is the user’s duty to adhere to our Terms of Service, which strictly prohibit using MaxGuard’s services for any deceptive or fraudulent activities.
Global Compliance: MaxGuard is committed to maintaining compliance with international privacy and data protection laws, including GDPR, CCPA, and other global standards. We continuously monitor regulatory changes to ensure that our platform remains secure, compliant, and reliable for website operators worldwide.
Ethical and Responsible Use of Cloaking: While cloaking can be misused in deceptive contexts, MaxGuard implements it as a legitimate and ethical tool to protect websites from unauthorized access, fraud, and cyber threats. Much like everyday tools (e.g., kitchen knives, cars, or hammers), cloaking has a valid and lawful purpose when used correctly. The misuse of this tool rests solely with the user, and MaxGuard cannot be held liable for unethical use.
