Your Private Proxy is not responsible for bot failures, bans or any other issues that may occur and that are not related directly to our proxy servers (down proxies). Results from bot proxy checkers and online proxy checkers that may indicate down or bad proxies will NOT be taken into account as they are not reliable testing tools. When in doubt please test your proxy in browser. More information on how to test your proxies in browser can be found in the FAQ section.

As a condition of your use of the proxies that we provide, yourprivateproxy.com warrants that you will not utilize the proxies for any purpose that is unlawful or prohibited by our terms, conditions and notices.
