These Terms apply to all users of the Service, including open source users and Enterprise customers.

  • Distribute the software
  • Sublicense the software

Subject to the conditions in the Apache License 2.0, including preservation of copyright and license notices.

2.2 Enterprise License

Enterprise customers receive additional proprietary features under a separate commercial license agreement. Enterprise features are not covered by the Apache License.

2.3 Restrictions

You may not:

  • Use Pentora for illegal activities or to violate the rights of others
  • Attempt to reverse engineer Enterprise-only features
  • Remove or alter any proprietary notices or labels
  • Use Pentora to scan systems you do not own or have permission to scan
  • Interfere with or disrupt the Service or servers

3. Acceptable Use

You must use Pentora in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. You are solely responsible for ensuring you have proper authorization to scan any systems or networks.

3.2 Prohibited Activities

You may not use Pentora to:

  • Conduct unauthorized penetration testing or security assessments
  • Scan systems without explicit permission from the owner
  • Exploit discovered vulnerabilities for malicious purposes
  • Interfere with critical infrastructure or emergency services
  • Violate privacy laws or regulations
  • Harass, threaten, or harm others

3.3 Responsible Disclosure

If you discover vulnerabilities in third-party systems using Pentora, you must follow responsible disclosure practices and notify the affected parties.

4. Enterprise Services

4.1 Subscription

Enterprise services are provided on a subscription basis. Fees are specified in your service agreement and are non-refundable except as required by law.

4.2 Service Level Agreement

Enterprise customers receive SLA guarantees as specified in their service agreement. SLAs do not apply to the open source version.

4.3 Support

Support is provided to Enterprise customers according to their service tier. Open source users receive community support only.

4.4 Termination

Either party may terminate Enterprise services with 30 days written notice. Upon termination, you must cease using Enterprise features and delete all data.

5. Intellectual Property

5.1 Ownership

Pentora and its open source components are owned by their respective contributors. Enterprise features and proprietary components are owned by Pentora.

5.2 Trademarks

"Pentora" and associated logos are trademarks. You may not use these trademarks without prior written permission, except as permitted under fair use.

5.3 Your Data

You retain all rights to your scan results and data. We claim no ownership over your data. For Enterprise customers, we have a limited license to process your data to provide the Service.

6. Disclaimers

6.1 No Warranty

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

6.2 Accuracy

We do not guarantee that Pentora will detect all vulnerabilities or that scan results are completely accurate. Security scanning is complex and false positives/negatives may occur.

6.3 Availability

We do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation of the Service. Maintenance, updates, and unforeseen issues may cause downtime.

7. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, PENTORA SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS OR REVENUES, WHETHER INCURRED DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, OR ANY LOSS OF DATA, USE, GOODWILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES.

IN NO EVENT SHALL PENTORA'S TOTAL LIABILITY EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID FOR THE SERVICE IN THE 12 MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM.

Some jurisdictions do not allow limitation of liability, so these limitations may not apply to you.

8. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Pentora and its affiliates from any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, and expenses (including legal fees) arising from:

  • Your use or misuse of the Service
  • Violation of these Terms
  • Violation of applicable laws or regulations
  • Infringement of third-party rights
  • Unauthorized scanning of systems

9. Privacy

Our use of your personal information is governed by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference.

10. Modifications

We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. Material changes will be notified via:

  • Updating the "Last updated" date
  • Email notification to Enterprise customers

Continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
