Terms & Conditions

Last Updated: 2026-01-01

By accessing or using Crooksec Intelligence's platform, services, or website, you agree to be bound by the following terms. Please read them carefully before engaging with our systems.

01 Acceptance of Terms

By using our website or engaging with any Crooksec service, you confirm that you are at least 18 years of age, have the legal authority to enter into these terms on behalf of yourself or your organization, and agree to comply with all applicable laws and regulations. If you do not agree to these terms, you must discontinue use of our platform immediately.

02 Services & Scope

Crooksec Intelligence provides offensive and defensive cybersecurity services including, but not limited to: penetration testing, vulnerability assessments, managed security operations, threat intelligence, and security consulting.

All penetration testing and offensive security activities are conducted solely under written authorization from the client. Crooksec will not perform any unauthorized security testing. All engagements require a signed Statement of Work (SOW) and Rules of Engagement (RoE) prior to commencement.

Any attempt to weaponize our services, tools, or expertise against unauthorized targets is a breach of these terms and may result in immediate termination and legal action.

03 Client Responsibilities

  • You must provide accurate and truthful information during onboarding and for all engaged systems/assets.
  • You are responsible for ensuring that you hold legal authority over all systems submitted for testing.
  • You must not use deliverables (reports, exploits, tooling) provided by Crooksec for unlawful purposes.
  • You are responsible for maintaining backups and ensuring systems are adequately prepared prior to any active testing.

04 Confidentiality & NDA

All client information, infrastructure details, vulnerability findings, and engagement data are treated as strictly confidential. Crooksec operates under a mutual NDA framework. Findings are never shared with third parties without explicit written consent. Aggregated, anonymized threat intelligence derived from engagements may be used to improve our AI models, but never in a form that identifies individual clients.

05 Payment & Billing

Monthly subscription fees are billed in advance. Project-based fees are governed by individual SOW agreements. All invoices are payable within 30 days of issue. Crooksec reserves the right to suspend services for accounts overdue by more than 14 days. A 15% annual billing discount is available upon request for P1–P3 tier subscriptions.

06 Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Crooksec Intelligence shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from the use of our services, even if advised of the possibility of such damages. Our total liability shall not exceed the fees paid by the client in the 3 months preceding the incident giving rise to the claim.

07 Governing Law

These terms are governed by and construed in accordance with applicable international cybersecurity law and the laws of the jurisdiction in which Crooksec Intelligence is registered. Any disputes shall be subject to binding arbitration before litigation is pursued. For questions regarding these terms, contact legal@crooksec.io.
