Legal Disclaimer

Last updated: September 12, 2026

Authorized use only. This software is a security assessment tool. It is your sole responsibility to obtain explicit, documented authorization before scanning, probing, or testing any system, network, or application you do not personally own. Running it against systems you are not authorized to test may violate computer misuse laws (e.g. the U.S. Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, the UK Computer Misuse Act, or equivalent legislation in your jurisdiction) and may expose you to civil and criminal liability. Secure Verification Services accepts no responsibility for how you configure or use the software.

1. Nature of the product

Secure Verification Services distributes a self-hosted, source-available security assessment platform ("the Software") consisting of scanning agents, an authorization/scope-enforcement layer, and reporting tooling. The Software is a tool for people who configure, run, and are accountable for their own security testing activity — it is not a managed service, not a substitute for professional penetration testing engagements, and not legal or compliance advice.

2. No warranty

THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY, AND NONINFRINGEMENT. We do not warrant that the Software will detect all vulnerabilities present in a target system, that its findings are complete or free of false positives/negatives, or that use of the Software will result in compliance with any regulatory framework, standard, or certification (including but not limited to OWASP, CIS Controls, or PCI DSS, which findings are merely mapped against for reference).

3. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event shall Secure Verification Services, its operator, or its affiliates be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits, data, business, or goodwill, arising out of or in connection with your use or misuse of the Software — including, without limitation, damages resulting from scanning or exploiting a system without proper authorization, service disruption caused by running the Software's scanning or exploitation agents, or reliance on any report, finding, or AI-generated triage narrative the Software produces.

Our total aggregate liability arising from or relating to the Software or this Site shall not exceed the amount you actually paid for the Software.

4. Exploitation features carry extra risk

The Software includes an optional exploitation module intended only for use against disposable, resettable lab/test targets you control. Enabling and configuring this module — including declaring "known vulnerabilities" and target endpoints — is entirely your decision and your responsibility. We strongly recommend never pointing exploitation features at production systems, third-party infrastructure, or any target for which you lack clear written authorization.

5. AI-generated content

An optional feature of the Software sends evidence data to a third-party large language model provider to generate a human-readable triage narrative. Output from this feature is AI-generated, may contain inaccuracies, and should be independently reviewed before being relied upon for any security or compliance decision. Enabling this feature transmits data to that third party under its own terms; you are responsible for ensuring this is appropriate for your data and environment.

6. No professional relationship

Purchasing or using the Software does not create a consulting, professional-services, or attorney/auditor-client relationship between you and Secure Verification Services. If you need a certified penetration test, a compliance attestation, or legal advice about your security obligations, engage a qualified professional or firm for that specific purpose.

7. Trademarks

References to third-party frameworks, standards, and tools (including OWASP, CIS Controls, PCI DSS, DVWA, Kubernetes, and Gumroad) are for descriptive/interoperability purposes only. Secure Verification Services is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any of these organizations, and all trademarks remain the property of their respective owners.

8. Governing law

This disclaimer and your use of this Site and the Software are governed by the laws applicable in the seller's jurisdiction of operation, without regard to conflict-of-law principles, except where mandatory consumer-protection law in your jurisdiction provides otherwise.
