Terms of service
Terms covering website use and the framework for professional services. Status: draft template — requires review by qualified counsel before publication.
1. Agreement
These terms govern your use of this website. Services are governed by a separate written agreement, proposal or statement of work signed by both parties; where the two conflict, the signed service document prevails.
2. Website use
You may read, share and link to this site. You may not attempt to gain unauthorised access to it, scrape it at a rate that degrades service, or use its content commercially without written permission. This extends to automated testing — see our responsible disclosure policy for the narrow conditions under which security testing of our own systems is permitted.
3. Security testing services
- Testing proceeds only under a signed rules-of-engagement document naming the assets in scope and the authorised signatory.
- You warrant that you are entitled to authorise testing of every asset in scope, including assets hosted by third parties.
- Findings are provided confidentially and must not be used to cause harm, or disclosed to third parties, without agreement.
- Remediation decisions remain yours; we provide findings, evidence and guidance, not a guarantee of security.
4. Development services
Development work is delivered against agreed acceptance criteria in a statement of work covering scope, milestones, change control, intellectual property and warranty period. Licence and ownership terms must be specified there. [Placeholder.]
5. Fees and payment
Fees, invoicing schedule and payment terms are set out in the applicable proposal. Late payment terms, taxes and currency must be specified. [Placeholder.]
6. Confidentiality
Each party protects the other's confidential information with at least the care it applies to its own, and uses it only for the engagement. A mutual NDA accompanies or forms part of the service agreement.
7. Limitation of liability
A limitation of liability clause is required. The cap, exclusions and carve-outs depend on your risk position and jurisdiction and must be drafted by counsel. [Placeholder — no liability position is asserted by this template.]
8. Intellectual property
This website's content, branding and code remain our property or that of our licensors. Deliverables created for a client transfer or license according to the statement of work.
9. Third-party content
Links to third-party sites are provided for convenience. We are not responsible for their content or practices.
10. Changes and termination
We may update these website terms; the governing terms for a service engagement are those in the signed agreement. Termination provisions are defined per engagement.
11. Governing law
Governing law, jurisdiction and dispute resolution must be specified for your entity. [Placeholder.]
