Terms of Service
Last updated: August 2026
In short. Clean Rabbit is free. It deletes the files you select, it defaults to putting them in the Trash or Recycle Bin so that you can get them back, and it keeps deletions fenced to the places it scanned. Keep backups anyway, because you are responsible for what you choose to delete.
These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales, and nothing in them removes the statutory rights you have as a consumer.
1.Agreement to Terms
These terms of service (the “Terms”) are an agreement between you and White Rabbit Foundry Limited (“WRF”, “we”, “us”, “our”), a company registered in England and Wales under company number 15222598. They govern your use of the Clean Rabbit desktop application, this website, and any related services (together, “the Service”).
By downloading, installing, registering for or using the Service you accept these Terms. If you do not accept them, do not use the Service.
These Terms should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which forms part of this agreement and explains how we handle your personal data. These Terms were last updated in August 2026.
2.Description of Service
The Service is a desktop application for macOS, Windows and Linux that helps you recover disk space. It provides six tools:
- Disk Cleaner: scans application caches, junk and temporary files, logs and incomplete downloads, and lets you review them by category before cleaning.
- Duplicate Finder: identifies byte-identical files within a folder you choose.
- Large & Old Files: surfaces your biggest and least recently used files.
- App Uninstaller: removes an application together with the support files it leaves behind.
- Startup Items: shows what launches when you log in and lets you disable items reversibly.
- Scheduled Scans: an optional weekly background check that notifies you when clutter accumulates.
Scanning and cleaning are performed locally on your device. We do not receive, store or process your files, your file names or your file paths.
We may change, add to or remove features. We may also suspend or discontinue the Service, although we will give you reasonable notice by email where we can.
3.Free Service
The Service is free. There is no purchase price, no subscription, no trial period that converts into a payment, and no paid tier withheld behind the results of a scan. We do not ask for payment details, because we have no means of taking a payment.
Because the Service is free, please read sections 8 and 9 with that in mind. They reflect the fact that you pay us nothing for it.
We reserve the right to introduce paid features in future. If we ever do, we will not charge you retrospectively for anything you already have, and any paid feature will be clearly identified as such before you use it.
4.Account Registration
Using the Service requires an account. Registration needs only an email address. There is no password: we sign you in with a single-use link sent to that address, which expires after 15 minutes.
You agree that:
- the email address you register is one you control;
- you will not share sign-in links, which are personal to you and give access to your account;
- you will tell us promptly at hello@whiterabbitfoundry.com if you believe someone else has accessed your account; and
- you are at least 16 years old.
You may close your account at any time from your account page. We may suspend or close an account that is being used in breach of these Terms, and we will tell you why unless the law prevents us from doing so.
Registration is required to use the Service. Accepting marketing is not, and never will be.
5.Acceptable Use
You must not:
- use the Service to delete, alter or access data on a device you do not own or are not authorised to administer;
- use it for any unlawful purpose, or to destroy evidence or records you are under a legal duty to preserve;
- attempt to circumvent the safety limits in the software, including the path restrictions that confine deletions to scanned locations;
- reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble the software, except to the extent that applicable law expressly permits it despite this restriction;
- redistribute the software as your own, or present a modified build as an official one;
- interfere with our systems, overload them, or attempt to gain unauthorised access to them, including the sign-in service; or
- use automated means to create accounts, or register email addresses that are not yours.
6.Your Files and Data Loss
Please read this section carefully. It is the most important one on this page.
The Service deletes files at your direction. It only ever deletes what you select, but it is you who selects, and you are responsible for what you choose to remove. You know what your files are for. We do not, and we cannot see them.
We have built in the protections we can:
- Recoverable by default: every clean asks whether to move items to the Trash or Recycle Bin, which is the default, or to delete them permanently. If you keep the default you can restore anything you change your mind about, until you empty it yourself.
- Deletions are fenced: the engine refuses to remove anything outside the locations that were actually scanned.
- Recently modified files are skipped, on the assumption that something is still using them.
- The duplicate finder always keeps one copy of every set, and will not let you select them all.
Those measures reduce risk. They do not eliminate it. If you choose permanent deletion, the files are gone, and neither we nor anyone else can recover them.
Keep current backups of anything you cannot afford to lose, and check that those backups work, before you run any cleanup tool, ours included. Review what is selected before you clean. If you are not sure what an item is, leave it alone.
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, we are not liable for the loss of files you chose to delete, for data you had not backed up, or for the consequences of removing something that your system or another application needed. Nothing in this section limits liability that cannot lawfully be limited: see sections 9 and 14.
7.Intellectual Property
The Service, the Clean Rabbit and White Rabbit Foundry names and logos, this website, and the software’s design and code are owned by us or by our licensors, and are protected by intellectual property law.
We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to install and use the Service on devices you own or control, for personal or internal business use, in accordance with these Terms. That licence gives you no ownership and no right to sub-license.
The software includes third-party open-source components, each licensed under its own terms. Where those terms conflict with this section, they prevail for that component. A list of components and their licences is available from us on request.
The files on your device remain entirely yours. We claim no rights of any kind over them.
8.Disclaimer of Warranties
The Service is provided “as is” and “as available”. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, and except as set out in section 14, we exclude all warranties, conditions and representations that are not expressly stated in these Terms, whether implied by statute, by common law or otherwise.
In particular, we do not warrant that:
- the Service will be uninterrupted, timely or error-free;
- it will identify every item of clutter on your system, or correctly classify every item that it does identify;
- removing any particular item will improve your device’s performance or free a specific amount of space; or
- it is compatible with every configuration of hardware, operating system version and third-party software.
Early releases may be distributed without code signing, and your operating system may warn you accordingly. It is for you to decide whether to proceed.
9.Limitation of Liability
Nothing in these Terms excludes liability that cannot be excluded under English law, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud.
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, and subject to the paragraph above:
- we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, for loss of profits, loss of business, loss of goodwill, or loss of anticipated savings;
- we are not liable for loss of or damage to data, including files you chose to delete, where you have not maintained an adequate backup; and
- our total aggregate liability arising out of or in connection with these Terms and your use of the Service, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), breach of statutory duty or otherwise, is limited to the greater of (a) the amount you paid us in the three months preceding the claim or (b) fifty pounds sterling (GBP 50).
This cap reflects the fact that the Service is supplied free of charge, and that you retain control over what is deleted and over your own backups.
10.Indemnification
If you use the Service for business purposes, you agree to indemnify us against any claims, losses, liabilities and reasonable costs arising from your use of the Service in breach of these Terms or in breach of the law, and in particular from using it on devices or data you were not authorised to administer.
This section does not apply to you if you are using the Service as a consumer.
11.Modifications
We may change these Terms, for example to reflect new features or changes in the law. The date at the top of this page shows when they were last revised.
Where a change materially affects your rights, we will give you reasonable notice by email before it takes effect. If you do not accept a change, your remedy is to stop using the Service and close your account. Continuing to use it after the change takes effect means you accept it.
12.Governing Law and Jurisdiction
These Terms, their subject matter and their formation, together with any non-contractual obligations arising out of or in connection with them, are governed by the laws of England and Wales.
The courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with these Terms.
If you are a consumer resident elsewhere in the United Kingdom, you may bring proceedings in the courts of the part of the United Kingdom in which you live, and you keep the benefit of any mandatory consumer protections available to you there.
13.Severability
If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid, unlawful or unenforceable, it shall be severed and the remaining provisions shall continue in full force.
Where a provision could be made valid by modifying it, it shall be treated as modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable while preserving its commercial intent.
A delay or failure by us to enforce any provision is not a waiver of our right to enforce it later.
14.Consumer Statutory Rights
If you are a consumer, you have rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 in relation to digital content. Broadly, digital content supplied to you must be of satisfactory quality, fit for purpose and as described.
Those statutory rights are not limited, excluded, or otherwise affected by these Terms. Where any provision of these Terms conflicts with a right you have by law that cannot be excluded, the law prevails and that provision does not apply to you.
In particular, if digital content we supply damages a device or other digital content belonging to you, and that damage was caused by our failure to use reasonable care and skill, you may be entitled to a repair or to compensation under section 46 of that Act.
For general advice about your consumer rights, contact Citizens Advice or your local Trading Standards service.
15.Email Communications
While you hold an account we will send you service emails: the sign-in links you have requested, security notices, and notice of material changes to these Terms or our Privacy Policy. These are part of providing the Service and cannot be switched off separately. Closing your account stops them.
Separately, we may send you occasional emails about Clean Rabbit and similar WRF tools. You are offered a clear opt-out when you register, and every such email carries a one-click unsubscribe link that works without signing in.
Broader marketing, meaning our other products and partner content, is sent only if you have given separate and specific consent, which you can withdraw at any time.
Marketing is never a condition of using the Service. Manage everything from your account page or the unsubscribe page. See our Privacy Policy for the detail.
