Terms of Service

1. Agreement

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of VibeMoat(the “Service”). By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service. If you use the Service on behalf of an organization, you represent that you are authorized to bind that organization, and “you” refers to that organization.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction) and legally able to enter into a contract to use the Service. The Service is not directed to children and is not intended for anyone under 16.

3. What the Service does

VibeMoat performs automated security analysis of source code you connect and produces reports intended to help you identify and reduce common security risks. The Service reads your code in a temporary, isolated environment and does not execute it.

4. No guarantee of security

Security analysis is inherently incomplete. VibeMoat identifies certain classes of common issues but cannot and does not guarantee that your application is secure, compliant, or free of vulnerabilities. It may produce false positives or miss real issues (false negatives). A passing grade, badge, or report is not a warranty of security and must not be represented to third parties as one. You remain solely responsible for the security of your applications, systems, and data.

5. Accounts and security

You are responsible for the activity that occurs under your account and for keeping your sign-in method and connected credentials secure. Notify us promptly at support@vibemoat.com if you suspect unauthorized use. We are not liable for losses caused by unauthorized use of your account that results from your failure to safeguard access.

6. Acceptable use

You agree that you will not, and will not permit anyone to:

• connect, scan, or analyze code or systems you do not own or lack explicit authorization to access;
• use the Service to identify vulnerabilities in third-party systems for the purpose of exploiting them, or for any unlawful, harmful, or malicious purpose;
• attempt to disrupt, overload, probe, or circumvent the Service, its rate limits, or its security controls;
• reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract source code or models from the Service, except to the extent this restriction is prohibited by law;
• resell, sublicense, or provide the Service to third parties except as expressly permitted;
• upload malware, or use the Service to store or transmit unlawful, infringing, or harmful content;
• use the Service to build a competing product, or scrape or harvest data from it.

You represent and warrant that you are authorized to connect and scan every repository you submit, and that doing so does not violate any third party’s rights or any agreement or law that applies to you.

7. Your content and ownership

As between you and us, you retain all rights to the source code and other materials you connect (“Your Content”). You grant VibeMoat a limited, non-exclusive license to access, copy, and process Your Content solely to provide and improve the Service for you (for example, to run scans, generate reports, and track changes over time). We do not sell Your Content and do not use it to train machine-learning models. This license ends when Your Content is deleted, subject to routine backups and legal-retention needs.

8. Our intellectual property

The Service, including its software, scanner logic, content, and branding, is owned byVibeMoat and protected by intellectual-property laws. These Terms grant you a limited, revocable, non-transferable right to use the Service; they do not transfer any ownership to you.

9. Plans, billing, and cancellation

Paid plans are billed per application on a recurring monthly basis through our payment processor. By subscribing, you authorize recurring charges until you cancel. You can cancel at any time via the billing portal; cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period, and you retain access until then. Fees already paid are non-refundable except where required by law. We may change prices with reasonable advance notice, effective on your next billing period.

10. Third-party services

The Service integrates with third parties (including source-code hosts such as GitHub, our payment processor, our email provider, our application/database hosts, and the AI model provider used for the review pass). We are not responsible for third-party services, and your use of them is also subject to their terms. Our data processors are described in our Privacy Policy.

11. Service availability and changes

We aim for high availability but do not guarantee that the Service will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free. We may add, change, suspend, or remove features at any time. We are not liable for any modification, suspension, or discontinuation of the Service.

12. Suspension and termination

You may stop using the Service at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access if you violate these Terms, create risk or legal exposure for us, or fail to pay fees. On termination, your right to use the Service ends; sections that by their nature should survive (including ownership, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification, and governing law) will survive.

13. Disclaimers

THE SERVICE AND ALL REPORTS, GRADES, AND OUTPUTS ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTY THAT THE SERVICE WILL DETECT ALL VULNERABILITIES OR KEEP YOUR APPLICATION SECURE. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain disclaimers, so parts of this section may not apply to you.

14. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, VibeMoat and its owners, employees, and suppliers will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, data, goodwill, or any security breach or intrusion, arising out of or related to your use of (or inability to use) the Service — even if advised of the possibility of such damages. Our total aggregate liability for any claim arising out of or relating to the Service will not exceed the greater of (a) the amount you paid us for the Service in the three (3) months preceding the claim, or (b) USD $100. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so parts of this section may not apply to you.

15. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless VibeMoat and its owners and employees from any claims, damages, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of your use of the Service, Your Content, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any law or third-party right.

16. Governing law and dispute resolution

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of North Carolina, USA, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. Before filing a claim, you agree to first contact us at support@vibemoat.com and attempt to resolve the dispute informally for at least 30 days. Any dispute that cannot be resolved informally will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in North Carolina, and you consent to their jurisdiction. To the extent permitted by law, each party waives any right to a jury trial and to participate in a class or representative action; disputes must be brought in an individual capacity.

17. Miscellaneous

If any provision of these Terms is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions stay in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms without our consent; we may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets. Neither party is liable for delays or failures caused by events beyond its reasonable control. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, are the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Service.

18. Changes

We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be communicated through the Service or by email. Continued use after changes take effect constitutes acceptance.
