Terms of Use

Acceptance

By using this website you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use it. If you are using it for an organization, you confirm you are authorized to accept these terms on its behalf.

What this website is

This website describes Art of Vector and its services. It is information, not an offer, quote, or contract. Any engagement is governed only by the written agreement, statement of work, rules of engagement, and NDA signed by both parties. If those documents conflict with this page, they take precedence.

Authorization for testing

We test only systems that the requester owns or is legally authorized to have tested, and only after written authorization and agreed rules of engagement. By submitting an assessment request you confirm that:

• you have the authority to request testing of the systems you describe, and
• you will identify any third parties (cloud providers, vendors, hosts) whose permission is also needed.

A request submitted through this website does not authorize any testing. Testing begins only when the signed documents say it may.

Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• scan, probe, or attack this website or our systems without our prior written permission,
• disrupt the site, overload it, or attempt to gain unauthorized access to accounts or data,
• submit false, misleading, or unauthorized requests, or requests on behalf of someone else without authority,
• scrape the site at a volume that affects others, or use it to send spam.

If you believe you have found a vulnerability in this website, please report it under our responsible disclosure policy. Good-faith research that follows that policy is welcome.

Client portal accounts

Portal access is for our clients and prospective clients. Keep your sign-in details confidential, tell us promptly if you suspect misuse, and you are responsible for activity under your account. We may suspend access that appears unauthorized or abusive.

Research and sample content

Articles, notes, and reports on this site are general information about security topics and are not advice for your situation. Sample reports are prepared against lab systems we control and contain no client data. Do not rely on any content as a guarantee that a system is or is not secure, and do not apply techniques described here to systems you are not authorized to test.

Intellectual property

The site, its text, design, and the Art of Vector name and wordmark belong to us or our licensors. You may view and share pages for personal or internal business purposes and quote short excerpts with attribution. Any other use needs our written permission.

Third-party links and services

We link to and embed third-party services such as scheduling and authentication. We do not control them and are not responsible for their content or practices. Their own terms and privacy policies apply.

Disclaimers

The website is provided “as is” and “as available”. To the fullest extent the law allows, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement, and we do not promise the site will be uninterrupted or error-free.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, or for lost profits or data, arising from your use of the website. Nothing here limits liability that cannot be limited by law. Liability for services is set out in the applicable engagement agreement.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which Art of Vector is established, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Engagements are governed by the law stated in their agreements.

Changes

We may update these terms. The date at the top shows the latest revision, and continued use after a change means you accept it. Our data practices are described in the Privacy Policy.
