Terms of Service

1. Agreement

By accessing or using ShieldPi Watchtower (“the Service”), you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service. The Service is operated by ShieldPi (“we,” “us”).

2. Acceptable Use

You may only use ShieldPi to scan systems that you own or have explicit written authorization to test. Specifically:

• You must have authorization from the system owner before initiating any scan
• You may not use ShieldPi to attack, disrupt, or compromise systems without authorization
• You may not use scan results to exploit vulnerabilities in systems you do not own
• You may not resell or redistribute scan results without our written consent
• You are responsible for ensuring your use complies with all applicable laws

Violation of this section will result in immediate account termination. We may report unauthorized scanning activity to relevant authorities.

3. Service Tiers

Plan features, limits, and pricing are subject to change with 30 days' notice. Downgrades take effect at the end of the current billing cycle.

4. Account Responsibilities

• You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials
• You must provide accurate and current registration information
• You are responsible for all activity under your account
• Notify us immediately at support@shieldpi.io if you suspect unauthorized access

5. Disclaimer of Warranties

The Service is provided “as is” and “as available.” We make no guarantees that:

• Scans will detect all vulnerabilities in your systems
• Security scores reflect the complete security posture of any model
• The Service will be uninterrupted or error-free
• Results are free from false positives or false negatives

ShieldPi is a testing tool, not a guarantee of security. You remain responsible for the security of your own systems.

6. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, ShieldPi shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of the Service. Our total liability shall not exceed the amount you paid us in the 12 months preceding the claim.

7. Intellectual Property

You retain ownership of your scan targets and configurations. We retain ownership of the ShieldPi platform, attack techniques, scoring algorithms, and leaderboard data. Aggregated, anonymized scan data may be used to improve the Service and populate the public leaderboard.

8. Termination

You may cancel your account at any time from Settings. We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms, particularly the Acceptable Use section. Upon termination, your data will be deleted according to our retention policy (see Privacy Policy).

9. Changes to Terms

We may update these Terms as the Service evolves. Material changes will be communicated via email. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance.
