1. Parties & definitions

“Obexum”, “we” or “us” means [Legal Entity Name], of [Registered Address]. “You” means the individual or organisation using the Service. “Scanner” means the Obexum binary; “Portal” means the optional hosted web application; “Target” means any system you scan; “Engagement Data” means scans, findings, evidence and reports you produce.

2. The Service

Obexum is a deterministic, pericial-grade hardening-audit tool for Windows, Linux and BSD systems, delivered as a self-contained binary plus an optional hosted Portal for dashboards, history and shared engagements. We may improve, change or discontinue features; we will give reasonable notice of material adverse changes to paid features.

3. Accounts & security

  • You must provide accurate registration details and keep them current.
  • You are responsible for safeguarding your credentials, API tokens and two-factor methods, and for all activity under your account.
  • Notify us promptly at security@obexum.com of any unauthorised use.
  • One person per individual seat; do not share logins beyond your plan’s seat allowance.

4. Plans, trials & billing

  • Plans, host/seat limits and prices are described on the pricing page. Free trials run for the stated period (currently 14 days) with no card required unless stated.
  • Paid subscriptions are billed in advance through our payment processor, Stripe, on a monthly or annual cycle and renew automatically until cancelled. You authorise recurring charges to your payment method.
  • You may cancel at any time, effective at the end of the current billing period; fees already paid are non-refundable except where required by law or expressly stated.
  • Prices exclude taxes, which we add where applicable. We may change prices on renewal with prior notice.

5. Licence & restrictions

Subject to these Terms and payment of applicable fees, we grant you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to install and use the Scanner and Portal for your internal business purposes (and, for MSSP/MSP plans, to audit your clients under your engagement). You must not:

  • reverse-engineer, decompile or attempt to extract source or detection logic, except where this restriction is prohibited by law;
  • resell, sublicense, rent or redistribute the Scanner outside your licensed scope;
  • remove or alter notices, signatures or checksums;
  • circumvent licensing, host/seat limits or rate limits;
  • use the Service to build a competing product.

6. Acceptable use — authorised auditing only

Critical.

Obexum is a defensive security tool. You may only scan systems you own or are explicitly authorised in writing to audit. You are solely responsible for obtaining that authorisation before running any scan. Unauthorised scanning of systems may be illegal and is strictly prohibited.

You further agree not to use the Service to:

  • access, attack or disrupt systems without authorisation;
  • violate any law, regulation, or third-party right;
  • exfiltrate data you are not entitled to, or weaponise findings against third parties;
  • upload malware, or interfere with the integrity or performance of the Service.

We may suspend access immediately for suspected violations that risk harm or legal exposure.

7. Your data & responsibilities

  • You own your Engagement Data. The Scanner keeps it local; it reaches us only if you upload it to the Portal, where we process it on your behalf under our Data Processing Agreement and Privacy Policy.
  • You are responsible for the lawfulness of the Targets you scan and the data you upload, and for maintaining your own backups.
  • You grant us the limited rights needed to host, process and display your Engagement Data to provide the Portal to you.

8. Intellectual property

The Service, including the Scanner, the check catalogue, remediation playbooks, documentation and trademarks, is owned by Obexum and protected by law. Except for the licence in Section 5, no rights are granted. Feedback you provide may be used by us without obligation.

9. Warranties & disclaimers

The Service is provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied or statutory, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement, to the maximum extent permitted by law.

Obexum reduces risk; it does not guarantee that it will detect every misconfiguration or vulnerability, nor that a host audited with Obexum is secure or compliant. The Service is not a substitute for professional security or legal advice, and findings/remediation must be reviewed by a qualified person before action. Remediation scripts can change system state; run them with the supplied dry-run first and at your own risk.

10. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Obexum will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for loss of profits, data, goodwill or business, arising out of or relating to the Service. Our total aggregate liability for all claims will not exceed the amounts you paid us for the Service in the twelve (12) months preceding the event giving rise to the claim.

Nothing in these Terms excludes liability that cannot be excluded by law (e.g. death or personal injury caused by negligence, or fraud).

11. Indemnification

You will indemnify and hold harmless Obexum from claims, damages and costs arising from your use of the Service in breach of these Terms, your unauthorised scanning of any system, or your violation of law or third-party rights.

12. Term & termination

These Terms apply while you use the Service. You may stop and close your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate access for material breach (including Section 6), non-payment, or where required by law, with notice where practicable. On termination your licence ends; you may export your Engagement Data for [30 days], after which it may be deleted. Sections that by nature should survive (5, 7–11, 13–14) survive termination.

13. Governing law & disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of [Country / State], excluding its conflict-of-laws rules, and the courts of [venue / city] have exclusive jurisdiction, unless a mandatory consumer law grants you a different forum. The parties will first attempt to resolve disputes in good faith for 30 days before formal proceedings.

14. Miscellaneous

  • Entire agreement — these Terms, the Privacy Policy and the DPA are the entire agreement and supersede prior understandings.
  • Severability — if a clause is unenforceable, the rest remains in effect.
  • Assignment — you may not assign these Terms without our consent; we may assign them in a merger or sale of assets.
  • Force majeure — neither party is liable for delays beyond its reasonable control.
  • Notices — we notify you by email or in-product; reach us at hello@obexum.com.
  • No waiver — failure to enforce a term is not a waiver.
