Terms of Service

Last updated: November 1, 2025

1. Acceptance

By accessing our website or engaging CDSecurity for services, you agree to these Terms. If you are entering into these Terms on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization.

2. Services & Scope

We provide security reviews, including smart-contract audits, code assessments, and related deliverables (collectively, “Services”). Specific scope, timelines, and fees will be set out in a written order, SOW, or email confirmation (“Order”).

3. Deliverables

Our reports are professional opinions based on time-boxed effort and materials provided. No audit guarantees the absence of vulnerabilities. You remain responsible for deployment decisions and ongoing security.

4. Client Responsibilities

  • Provide complete and accurate code, documentation, and access needed to perform the Services.
  • Allocate knowledgeable contacts for timely clarifications.
  • Assess and remediate findings; manage production risks.

5. Fees & Payment

Fees are as described in the Order. Unless stated otherwise, invoices are due within 14 days. Late payments may incur reasonable late charges or suspension of Services.

6. Confidentiality

Each party will protect the other party’s confidential information and use it only to perform obligations under these Terms and the Order. We may reference your project name and logo for portfolio/marketing with your prior written consent.

7. Intellectual Property

You retain ownership of your code and materials. We retain ownership of our methodologies, tools, templates, and report format. Subject to payment, we grant you a non-exclusive license to use our deliverables internally and with stakeholders as necessary.

8. Public Disclosures

Coordinated disclosure timelines for critical findings will be agreed with you. We will not disclose sensitive details without consent, except as required by law or where vulnerabilities pose imminent risk to users.

9. Warranties & Disclaimers

THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS”. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

10. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, CDSecurity WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, OR GOODWILL. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY UNDER THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED THE FEES PAID OR PAYABLE FOR THE SERVICES GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM.

11. Indemnity

You will indemnify and hold harmless CDSecurity against third-party claims arising from (a) your code or materials, (b) your breach of these Terms, or (c) your use of deliverables contrary to the Terms or law.

12. Termination

Either party may terminate an Order for material breach not cured within 15 days of notice. Upon termination, you will pay for Services performed up to the effective date. Sections intended to survive (e.g., confidentiality, IP, limitation of liability) will continue.

13. Export, Anti-Corruption, Sanctions

You represent that you are not subject to sanctions and will comply with applicable export and anti-corruption laws.

14. Governing Law & Venue

These Terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction of our principal place of business, without regard to conflicts of law. The courts in that venue will have exclusive jurisdiction, except where law provides otherwise.

15. Changes

We may update these Terms from time to time. The updated date will be posted above; material changes may be notified separately.
