Terms of Service

1. Agreement and eligibility

These Terms form an agreement between you and [LEGAL_OPERATOR_NAME]. By accessing VibeSIEM Scan, pairing a runner, or starting a scan, you accept these Terms and the incorporated Privacy Policy, Acceptable Use Policy, Beta Agreement when applicable, and Scan Authorization Agreement. You must be at least 18 and legally able to enter this agreement.

2. What the service does

VibeSIEM Scan coordinates bounded security checks performed by software running on your own computer. It can generate local reports and repair instructions and, when you choose, store normalized findings and redacted evidence in the cloud. The service is an assessment aid, not a penetration test, certification, warranty, or guarantee that a system is secure.

3. Authorization is required

You may scan only a hostname you own or are expressly authorized to test. Your authorization must cover the selected scope, timing, methods, and network path. You must not rely on VibeSIEM Scan to create authority you do not already have. Each scan is also governed by the Scan Authorization Agreement.

4. Your responsibilities

• Keep your account, paired devices, local reports, credentials, and proxy settings secure.
• Review the displayed hostname, resolved addresses, limits, and egress IP before approving a scan.
• Use test accounts where possible and maintain backups appropriate to the target.
• Stop a scan if you observe instability, unexpected scope, or possible harm.
• Review findings and suggested repairs before acting on them.

5. Prohibited conduct

You may not scan without authorization; evade blocks or attribution; exceed local safeguards; test credentials through guessing or spraying; perform denial-of-service, destructive, persistence, malware, social-engineering, or data-exfiltration activity; upload secrets or unlawful content; interfere with another user; reverse engineer hosted components except where law expressly permits; or use the service in violation of the Acceptable Use Policy.

6. Accounts and preview access

Access may be restricted, revoked, rate-limited, or changed during the private preview and beta. An attempted sign-in does not create a right to access. We may suspend access to protect targets, users, the service, or third parties.

7. Your data and licenses

You retain ownership of data you submit. You grant [LEGAL_OPERATOR_NAME] a limited license to process that data only to operate, secure, support, and improve the service as described in the Privacy Policy. Do not upload data you lack authority to provide. Target responses, credentials, and detailed evidence are designed to remain local except for data you deliberately synchronize.

8. Software and intellectual property

The service, hosted application, branding, and documentation are owned by [LEGAL_OPERATOR_NAME] or its licensors. A separately distributed runner may have its own license. No rights are granted except the limited right to use the service under these Terms.

9. Third-party services

Microsoft authentication, hosting, package distribution, network providers, and other third-party services may be required. Their terms apply independently. A VPN or proxy is selected and controlled by you; we do not warrant its availability, legality, reputation, or effect on results.

10. Beta changes and termination

Beta features may be incomplete, changed, suspended, or removed without notice. You may stop using the service at any time. We may terminate or suspend access for safety, legal, operational, or policy reasons. Sections that by nature should survive termination—including ownership, disclaimers, liability limits, indemnity, and dispute provisions—will survive.

11. Disclaimers

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, [LEGAL_OPERATOR_NAME] DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, COMPLETENESS, AND SECURITY. A REPORT MAY CONTAIN FALSE POSITIVES, FALSE NEGATIVES, OR INCOMPLETE RESULTS. “NO ISSUES FOUND” MEANS ONLY THAT COMPLETED CHECKS DID NOT FIND AN ISSUE.

12. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, [LEGAL_OPERATOR_NAME] and its affiliates will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages; loss of data, revenue, goodwill, or business; target downtime; or claims arising from unauthorized testing. Aggregate liability will not exceed the greater of amounts paid for the service during the prior 12 months or USD $100. Applicable law may limit these exclusions.

13. Indemnification

You will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless [LEGAL_OPERATOR_NAME] and its affiliates from third-party claims and expenses arising from your targets, your lack of authorization, your violation of law or these Terms, your network path, or your use of findings and repair instructions.

14. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of [LEGAL_JURISDICTION], without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Venue and any required dispute process must be finalized by counsel before these Terms become effective.

15. General and contact

These Terms and incorporated policies are the entire agreement for the service. If a provision is unenforceable, the remainder continues. Failure to enforce a term is not a waiver. You may not assign this agreement without consent. Questions: [LEGAL_CONTACT_EMAIL].
