These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of the Flowpatrol platform, website, and related services (collectively, the "Service") operated by Flowpatrol ("we", "us", or "our").
By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
1. What Flowpatrol Does
Flowpatrol is a black-box security scanner for web applications. You provide a URL, and we scan the publicly accessible surface of your application for common security issues — exposed secrets, broken access control, missing security headers, injection vulnerabilities, and more.
We never access your source code, repository, or internal infrastructure. All scanning is done externally, the same way any visitor or attacker would interact with your application.
2. Account & Eligibility
You must be at least 16 years old to use the Service. By creating an account, you agree to provide accurate information and keep your credentials secure. You are responsible for all activity under your account.
One person or legal entity may maintain one free account. You may create separate accounts for different organizations.
3. Acceptable Use
You agree to use Flowpatrol only to scan:
- Applications you own or operate;
- Applications you have explicit, written authorization to test; or
- Applications whose owners have engaged you to perform security testing.
You must not:
- Scan applications without the owner's consent;
- Use the Service to conduct denial-of-service attacks or otherwise disrupt third-party services;
- Attempt to circumvent rate limits, credit restrictions, or access controls;
- Resell or redistribute scan results as a competing service;
- Use the Service for any unlawful purpose.
We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these rules.
4. Credits & Billing
Flowpatrol operates on a credit-based system. Each scan mode costs a fixed number of credits. Credits are included with your subscription plan and do not roll over between billing periods unless otherwise stated.
Paid plans are billed monthly or annually, depending on your selection. You can upgrade, downgrade, or cancel at any time. Changes take effect at the start of the next billing period. No refunds are issued for partial billing periods.
We may update pricing with 30 days' notice. Continued use after a price change constitutes acceptance.
5. Scan Results & Disclaimer
Scan results are provided for informational purposes only. They represent a point-in-time assessment of your application's externally visible security posture.
Flowpatrol does not guarantee that scan results are complete, accurate, or free from false positives or false negatives. A clean scan does not mean your application is free from vulnerabilities. A finding does not necessarily mean your application is exploitable.
You are solely responsible for evaluating findings and deciding what action to take. Flowpatrol is not a substitute for professional security auditing, penetration testing, or compliance assessment.
6. Your Data
You own your data. Scan results, reports, and any data you provide belong to you. We do not sell, share, or use your data for advertising.
We collect and process data as described in our Privacy Policy. By using the Service, you agree to that policy.
We retain scan results for the duration of your account. If you delete your account, we will delete your data within 30 days, except where retention is required by law.
7. Intellectual Property
The Service, including its design, code, and documentation, is owned by Flowpatrol and protected by applicable intellectual property laws. These Terms do not grant you any rights to our trademarks, logos, or brand assets.
You retain all rights to the applications you scan and the data you provide.
8. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Flowpatrol shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits, revenue, data, or business opportunities arising from your use of the Service.
Our total aggregate liability for any claim arising from or related to these Terms or the Service is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months preceding the claim, or €100, whichever is greater.
This limitation applies regardless of the legal theory (contract, tort, strict liability, or otherwise) and even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.
9. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold Flowpatrol harmless from any claims, damages, or expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from:
- Your use of the Service in violation of these Terms;
- Scanning applications without proper authorization;
- Your violation of any applicable law or third-party rights.
10. Service Availability
We aim to keep the Service available and reliable, but we do not guarantee 100% uptime. The Service is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied.
We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service with reasonable notice. We will make commercially reasonable efforts to notify you of material changes.
11. Termination
You may close your account at any time through your account settings. We may suspend or terminate your account if you violate these Terms, with notice where practicable.
Upon termination, your right to use the Service ends immediately. Sections on limitation of liability, indemnification, and governing law survive termination.
12. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. We will notify you of significant changes via email or a notice in the Service at least 30 days before they take effect.
Continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
13. Governing Law & Disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany. Any disputes arising from these Terms or the Service shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts in Berlin, Germany.
If you are a consumer in the European Union, you retain any mandatory consumer protection rights under the laws of your country of residence. You may also use the EU Online Dispute Resolution platform.
