Article 3: Essential legal warning and legal bases for use
⚠️ Important Warning
3.1. Fundamental principle
The Service is a powerful tool whose use may, depending on the circumstances, fall within regulated or potentially illegal activities if carried out without prior authorisation.
3.2. Legal bases for use
The Customer acknowledges and accepts that the lawful use of the Service to analyse a Target rests exclusively on one of the following two bases:
- Ownership: The Customer is the legitimate and undisputed owner of the Target.
- Explicit authorisation: The Customer has obtained written, prior, explicit and verifiable authorisation from the legitimate owner of the Target. This authorisation must clearly define the scope of the authorised tests and the period during which those tests are permitted.
3.3. Criminal risks
The Customer is informed that unauthorised interference with, access to, or continued presence in an automated data processing system constitutes a criminal offence (in France, Article 323-1 et seq. of the French Penal Code).
Use of the Service on a Target without complying with the conditions of Article 3.2 may expose the Customer to criminal and civil proceedings. Under no circumstances may the Supplier be held liable for such proceedings.
Article 4: Customer obligations and responsibilities
4.1. Warranty of authorisation
The Customer represents and warrants that it holds the necessary legal authority (ownership or written authorisation) for each analysis initiated via the Service on a Target.
The Customer undertakes to retain proof of this authorisation and to provide it to the Supplier upon simple request, or to any competent authority.
4.2. Prohibited uses
The Customer is strictly prohibited from:
- Using the Service to scan, probe, or interact with any Target for which it does not hold authorisation compliant with Article 3.2
- Using the Service for malicious purposes, such as preparing an attack, espionage, denial of service, data exfiltration or any other illegal activity
- Using the information obtained via the Service to cause harm, to exploit vulnerabilities without the Target owner's consent, or to disclose them publicly without following a responsible disclosure process
4.3. Exclusive responsibility
The Customer is solely and entirely responsible for the configuration of the analyses, the choice of Targets, and the consequences of its actions. It is responsible for any direct or indirect damage that may result from the use of the Service on a Target, even an authorised one.
4.4. Indemnification
The Customer undertakes to defend, indemnify and hold the Supplier harmless from any liability regarding any claims, actions, losses, damages, or costs (including attorneys' fees) arising from the Customer's breach of the terms of these Terms, and in particular from any use of the Service not compliant with Article 3.
Article 5: Intellectual property
5.1. Supplier ownership
The Supplier remains the exclusive owner of all intellectual property rights attached to the Service. The Subscription entails no transfer of ownership to the Customer. The Customer is prohibited from decompiling, disassembling, reverse-engineering, modifying, renting, lending or distributing the Service.

The Supplier undertakes to exercise all due diligence and care necessary to provide a quality Service, in accordance with the practices of the profession and the state of the art.
This is an obligation of means. The Supplier does not warrant that the Service will find all existing vulnerabilities, nor that the results of the analyses will be free of errors or false positives.
6.2. Exclusion of liability for use
The Supplier may under no circumstances be held liable for illegal or unauthorised uses of the Service by the Customer. The Supplier provides a tool; responsibility for its use rests entirely with the Customer.
6.3. Indirect damages
Under no circumstances shall the Supplier be liable for indirect damages, such as loss of profits, loss of data, commercial prejudice, or business interruption, resulting from the use of or inability to use the Service.
6.4. Liability cap
In any event, should the Supplier's liability be engaged under the performance of these Terms, its total and cumulative liability, on all grounds combined, shall be limited to the total amount excluding taxes paid by the Customer to the Supplier under the Subscription during the twelve (12) months preceding the event giving rise to the damage. This limitation does not apply to bodily injury, nor in the event of wilful misconduct or gross negligence by the Supplier.
Article 7: Personal data
7.1. Customer account data
The Supplier, as data controller, collects and processes the personal data of the Customer's contact (name, email, billing information) for account management, billing and the commercial relationship, in accordance with the GDPR and its privacy policy.
7.2. Data processed via the Service (Sub-processing)
For any personal data that may be discovered or collected on Targets during use of the Service, the Customer acts as Data Controller and the Supplier acts as Data Processor, on the Customer's instructions.
Article 8: Term and termination

Payment is made in advance, according to the periodicity chosen by the Customer upon subscription (monthly or annual). Payment is made by bank transfer or any other means of payment offered by the Supplier.
For tacitly renewed subscriptions, the Customer expressly authorises the Supplier to automatically charge the amount of the fee to the payment method provided, at each new billing period. An invoice will be issued, made available to the Customer and sent by email.
11.4. Payment default
In the absence of full payment on the due date, and after a formal notice sent by any written means (in particular by email) that remains without effect for a period of eight (8) calendar days, the Supplier reserves the right to:
- Suspend the Customer's access to the Service until its situation is fully regularised
- Automatically apply late-payment penalties calculated on the basis of three (3) times the statutory interest rate in force, as well as a fixed indemnity for recovery costs in the amount of forty (40) euros

Issuance of invoices:
- For the annual subscription: A single invoice is issued on the subscription or renewal date, covering the fixed fees for full access for the coming year
