Terms of Service

Last updated: October 22, 2025

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

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. If we do, we'll try to give you a heads up unless you did something really bad.
