Terms of Service

Last updated: February 26, 2026

Welcome to GitGuard! By using our service, you agree to these terms. We've tried to make them as painless as possible, but yes, you still need to read them (or at least pretend you did).

1. Use of Service

GitGuard provides automated security scanning for GitHub repositories. You may use our service to scan repositories you own or have permission to scan. Don't scan other people's repos without permission - that's not cool, and it's probably illegal.

2. Account Responsibilities

You're responsible for your account security. Use a strong password (not "password123"), enable 2FA if available, and don't share your credentials. If someone else uses your account, that's on you.

3. Acceptable Use

Use GitGuard for legitimate security scanning. Don't use it to:

• Attack or abuse other people's systems
• Scan repositories you don't have permission to access
• Try to reverse engineer or hack our service
• Do anything else obviously sketchy

DDoS testing, AI Pentesting, and similar tools: These features may only be used on systems, applications, and infrastructure that you own or have explicit written permission to test. Using them against third-party or unauthorized targets (for example, running tests against google.com, github.com, or any site you do not control) is prohibited and constitutes abuse. We do not tolerate abuse of our platform. We may monitor usage and target URLs to detect and prevent misuse. Accounts that abuse these tools will be terminated without refund, and we may report illegal activity to authorities.

4. Limitations and Disclaimers

GitGuard is a tool to help find security issues, but it's not perfect. We scan for common vulnerabilities, but we can't guarantee we'll catch everything. Think of us as a seatbelt, not a force field.

The service is provided "as is" without warranties. We do our best, but stuff happens. We're not liable for any damages resulting from using (or not using) GitGuard.

5. Subscriptions and Billing

Free accounts get limited scans. Pro accounts get unlimited scans and AI-enhanced scanning. If you upgrade to Pro, you'll be billed according to your chosen plan. Cancel anytime - no hard feelings.

6. Privacy

We respect your privacy. Check our Privacy Policy for details, but the TL;DR is: we only access your repos during scans, we don't store your code, and we don't sell your data.

7. Changes to Terms

We may update these terms occasionally. We'll notify you of major changes, but it's on you to stay informed. Continued use after changes means you accept the new terms.

8. Termination

You can delete your account anytime. We can terminate accounts that violate these terms, including abuse of DDoS testing, AI Pentesting, or any feature used against unauthorized targets. If we do, we'll try to give you a heads up unless the violation is serious (such as attacking third-party systems), in which case we may suspend or terminate immediately without refund.
