These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of GuardLayer (the "Service"), operated by [Company Legal Name] ("we", "us"). By using the Service you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
1. The Service
GuardLayer performs automated static security analysis of source code you submit and returns findings and suggested fixes. The Service is an aid, not a guarantee: it does not detect every vulnerability and is not a substitute for professional security review, testing, or your own judgment. You remain solely responsible for the security of your applications.
2. Accounts & Eligibility
Some features require an account (via GitHub or email). You must provide accurate information, keep your credentials secure, and are responsible for activity under your account. You must be at least 16 years old (or the age of digital consent in your jurisdiction).
3. Acceptable Use
- Only submit code you own or are authorized to analyze.
- Do not abuse, overload, rate-limit-evade, reverse engineer, or attempt to disrupt the Service.
- Do not use the Service to build a competing product or to scan code for unlawful purposes.
4. Your Code & Content
You retain all ownership of code and content you submit. You grant us a limited, non-exclusive license to process it solely to provide the Service (run scans, generate reports, and — where you enable it — produce AI-written fixes). We do not claim ownership of your code and do not use it to train models. See our Privacy Policy for how data is handled and retained.
5. Subscriptions & Billing
- Paid plans are billed in advance on a recurring (monthly or annual) basis through our payment processor (Stripe) and renew automatically until cancelled.
- You can cancel anytime; cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period. Except where required by law, payments are non-refundable.
- We may change prices with reasonable advance notice; changes apply to the next billing period.
6. Intellectual Property
The Service, including its software, rule set, branding, and content (excluding your code), is owned by [Company Legal Name] and protected by applicable laws. These Terms grant you no rights to our marks.
7. Third-Party Services
The Service integrates with third parties (e.g. GitHub, Stripe, and our infrastructure providers). Your use of those services is governed by their own terms, and we are not responsible for them.
8. Disclaimers
THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL DETECT ALL VULNERABILITIES, BE ERROR-FREE, OR THAT YOUR APPLICATIONS WILL BE SECURE.
9. Limitation of Liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, [Company Legal Name] WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY SECURITY BREACH OF YOUR APPLICATIONS. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM WILL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID US IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM.
10. Termination
You may stop using the Service at any time. We may suspend or terminate access if you violate these Terms or to protect the Service. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination will survive.
11. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms; material changes will be posted here with an updated date. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance.
12. Governing Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of [Jurisdiction], without regard to conflict-of-laws rules.
