Terms of Service

These Terms of Service ("Terms") are a binding agreement between you and Proof of Concept ("we", "us"). By creating an account or using the service you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the service.

1. What the service does

We run automated security checks on code, repositories or websites you submit and, on the paid tiers, provide human review. The service surfaces likely problems and suggests how to fix them. It is a diagnostic aid, not a managed security service.

2. No guarantee of security

A clean, improved, or passing result does not mean your application is secure or free of vulnerabilities. Automated analysis detects known categories of mistake and cannot prove the absence of any vulnerability; human review reflects a reviewer's judgement at a point in time. Nothing we provide is a guarantee, a warranty of security, a certification, or a substitute for a full independent security assessment or penetration test. You remain solely responsible for the security of your application and your users' data.

3. Informational only — not professional advice

Findings, scores, badges, explanations and fixes are provided for informational purposes only and do not constitute professional, security, legal or compliance advice. You are responsible for evaluating and testing any change before applying it to your systems.

4. Only scan what you own

You may submit only code, repositories or websites that you own or are expressly authorised to test. You are solely responsible for obtaining that authorisation and for complying with all applicable laws. You must not use the service to test, probe or attack systems you do not control.

5. Acceptable use

Do not use the service to break the law, infringe others' rights, circumvent its limits or security, resell it without permission, or interfere with its operation. We may suspend or terminate access for conduct that violates these Terms.

6. Your content

You keep all ownership of the code and content you submit. You grant us a limited, non-exclusive licence to store and process it solely to provide the service to you. We do not sell your content and do not use your source code to train machine-learning models.

7. Accounts

You are responsible for the activity under your account and for keeping your credentials confidential. Notify us promptly of any unauthorised use.

8. Payment

Paid plans are billed in advance as described at checkout and renew until cancelled. Payments are processed by our payment provider; by subscribing you also agree to their terms. Except where required by law, fees are non-refundable. Human-review engagements are scoped and quoted before they begin.

9. Third-party services

The service relies on third parties (for example, payment processing, email delivery, hosting and sign-in providers). We are not responsible for their acts, omissions or availability, and your use of them may be subject to their own terms.

10. Disclaimer of warranties

The service is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied or statutory, including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, or non-infringement. We do not warrant that the service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that it will detect any or all security issues.

11. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, data, goodwill, or for any security incident, breach or damage arising from your application. Our total aggregate liability for any claim arising out of or relating to the service is limited to the greater of the fees you paid to us in the twelve (12) months before the event giving rise to the claim, or €100. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so some of the above may not apply to you.

12. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from any claims, losses or expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your use of the service, your content, your violation of these Terms, or your testing of systems you were not authorised to test.

13. Termination

You may stop using the service and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate access if you breach these Terms or to protect the service or other users. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination (including sections 2, 3, 6, 10, 11 and 12) will survive.

14. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by the "last updated" date, and continued use after a change means you accept the updated Terms.

15. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which the operator is established, without regard to conflict-of-law rules, and the courts of that jurisdiction have exclusive jurisdiction, except where mandatory consumer-protection law provides otherwise.
