These Terms of Use govern your use of the Instware website. By accessing or using this website, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, you should not use the website.
01About this website
This website is provided for general information about Instware and its services. The content is intended to describe the business and provide a means for prospective clients to make contact.
02No professional relationship
Your use of this website, or sending an enquiry through it, does not by itself create a client relationship, advisory relationship, or contractual relationship between you and Instware. Any engagement for services will be subject to separate written agreement.
03Accuracy of information
We aim to keep the website content accurate and up to date, but we do not guarantee that all information is complete, current, or error-free at all times. Content may be updated, changed, or removed without notice.
04No reliance
Information on this website is provided for general informational purposes only and should not be relied upon as legal, regulatory, security, or professional advice. You should seek appropriate professional advice before making decisions based on website content.
05Intellectual property
Unless otherwise stated, the content of this website, including text, branding, graphics, and design elements, is owned by or licensed to Instware and is protected by applicable intellectual property laws. You may not reproduce, republish, or distribute website content without prior written permission, except for personal, non-commercial viewing.
06Website use
You agree not to misuse the website, attempt unauthorised access, interfere with its operation, or use it in any unlawful or harmful way. You must not attempt to probe, scan, or test the security of the website without explicit written permission.
07Third-party services and links
This website may use third-party services, including hosting and AI service providers (Lovable AI Gateway and OpenAI for the AI Security Advisor), and may contain links to third-party websites. We are not responsible for the content, privacy practices, or availability of third-party sites or services.
08AI Security Advisor
The AI Security Advisor is an optional tool that generates responses using artificial intelligence. By using it, you acknowledge and agree that:
- AI-generated content: responses are produced automatically by an OpenAI model accessed through Lovable AI Gateway, not written or reviewed by Instware staff, and may be incomplete, inaccurate or unsuitable for your circumstances.
- Indicative guidance only: responses are general information and do not constitute a security assessment, penetration test, audit, legal or compliance advice, or a recommendation on which you should rely. They do not create a client relationship with Instware.
- Verify before acting: you are responsible for evaluating any response and should seek appropriate professional advice before acting on it.
- Your input: you must not submit passwords, credentials, keys, details of specific vulnerabilities, personal data about other individuals, or any information you are not entitled to share.
- Acceptable use: you must comply with these terms and OpenAI's usage policies, and must not use the Advisor for unlawful purposes, to seek help attacking systems you are not authorised to test, to generate harmful content, or to attempt to circumvent its safeguards or usage limits.
- Availability: we may limit, suspend, change or withdraw the Advisor at any time without notice.
09Free security tools
Our free security tools perform light-touch, non-intrusive checks: the website checks load a homepage and the standard security.txt file as an ordinary visitor would, and the email check reads public DNS records only. By using them, you agree that:
- Authorisation: you will only check websites and domains you own or are authorised to test. You must not use the tools against third parties without permission.
- Surface-level only: results reflect publicly visible configuration at the time of the check. They are not a penetration test, vulnerability assessment or audit, and a good result does not mean a system is secure.
- No reliance: results are provided as general information, without warranty, and you should verify any change before applying it to your systems.
- Fair use: you must not automate, overload or attempt to misuse the tools. We may limit, change or withdraw them at any time.
10Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Instware excludes liability for any loss or damage arising from or connected with your use of, or inability to use, this website or reliance on its content, including any response generated by the AI Security Advisor. Nothing in these Terms of Use excludes or limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited, or affects your statutory rights as a consumer.
11Governing law
These Terms of Use are governed by the laws of Ireland, and any disputes arising in connection with the website shall be subject to the jurisdiction of the Irish courts.
