IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ THESE TERMS OF SERVICE CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THE AUDITAID SERVICE. BY ACCESSING OR USING THE SERVICE, YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE, DO NOT USE THE SERVICE.

AuditAid is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice. These Terms of Service are provided as a starting template. You should have qualified legal counsel review and finalize these terms before publishing them.

1. Definitions

For the purposes of these Terms of Service, the following definitions apply:

"AuditAid," "we," "us," or "our" means the AuditAid platform and its operators.
"Service" means the AuditAid AI-powered smart contract security auditing platform, including the web application, API, reports, and all associated tools available at auditaid.io.
"User," "you," or "your" means any individual or entity that accesses or uses the Service.
"Smart Contract" means any EVM-compatible or Solidity-based program code submitted to the Service for analysis.
"Audit Report" means any output, findings, vulnerability analysis, or recommendations generated by the Service in response to submitted Smart Contract code.
"Authorized Contract" means a Smart Contract for which you are the owner, developer, authorized security researcher, or have received explicit written authorization from the owner to conduct security analysis.
"Subscription" means a paid plan granting access to the Service under the terms of the applicable pricing tier.

2. Acceptance of Terms

By creating an account, accessing, or using the Service, you represent that:

You are at least 18 years of age, or the age of legal majority in your jurisdiction;
You have the legal capacity to enter into a binding agreement;
If you are acting on behalf of a company or organization, you have authority to bind that entity to these Terms; and
You have read, understood, and agree to these Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated herein by reference.

3. Authorized Use Requirement

__THIS SECTION IS CRITICAL. READ IT IN FULL BEFORE SUBMITTING ANY CONTRACT CODE.__

3.1 Authorization Requirement

You may only use the Service to analyze Smart Contracts for which you have explicit authorization. By submitting any Smart Contract code to the Service, you represent and warrant that:

You are the sole owner or co-owner of the Smart Contract;
You are an authorized developer, security researcher, or auditor engaged by the owner under a written agreement that explicitly grants you the right to conduct security analysis;
You have received clear, documented written permission from the owner to conduct security analysis using third-party tooling; or
The Smart Contract code is publicly licensed under an open-source license that explicitly permits third-party security analysis (e.g., MIT, GPL), and you are not using the analysis to exploit, manipulate, or harm the deployed protocol or its users.

3.2 Prohibited Uses — Unauthorized Contracts

You are strictly prohibited from using the Service to:

Analyze any live, deployed smart contract or protocol for which you do not have explicit authorization, regardless of whether the source code is publicly available;
Use Audit Reports or vulnerability findings to exploit, attack, drain, manipulate, or otherwise harm any smart contract, protocol, decentralized application, or the users thereof;
Conduct security analysis with the intent or effect of identifying vulnerabilities for unauthorized exploitation, front-running, MEV extraction targeting specific vulnerabilities, or any other malicious purpose;
Submit contract code belonging to a third party without that party's express written consent;
Use findings from the Service as a basis for any on-chain exploit, flash loan attack, governance manipulation, oracle manipulation, or similar harmful activity;
Circumvent, reverse engineer, or misuse the Service itself.

3.3 Responsibility for Authorization

You are solely responsible for ensuring you have proper authorization before submitting any Smart Contract to the Service. AuditAid has no means to verify the ownership or authorization status of submitted contract code and accepts no responsibility for your failure to obtain proper authorization.

If you are an audit firm or professional security researcher using the Service on behalf of clients, you represent that your engagement agreement with each client explicitly authorizes you to conduct AI-assisted security analysis using third-party tools, and that any Audit Reports generated are subject to appropriate confidentiality obligations owed to your clients.

3.4 Responsible Disclosure

If your use of the Service identifies a critical vulnerability in a live, deployed protocol — even in the course of authorized auditing — you agree to follow responsible disclosure practices, including notifying the protocol's security contact before publicly disclosing the vulnerability or taking any on-chain action. AuditAid encourages coordinated disclosure and compliance with applicable bug bounty programs.

4. Account Registration and Security

To access the Service, you must create an account. You agree to:

Provide accurate, current, and complete registration information;
Maintain the security and confidentiality of your login credentials;
Notify us immediately at legal@auditaid.io upon discovery of any unauthorized use of your account;
Accept responsibility for all activities that occur under your account.

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that provide false information or violate these Terms.

5. Service Description and Limitations

5.1 Nature of the Service

AuditAid provides AI-powered automated smart contract security analysis. The Service generates Audit Reports that identify potential vulnerabilities, gas optimization opportunities, and security risks in submitted Smart Contract code.

5.2 No Guarantee of Completeness

YOU EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT:

The Service is an AI-assisted tool and does not constitute a comprehensive manual security audit conducted by a human security professional;
Audit Reports may contain false positives (reported issues that are not actual vulnerabilities) or false negatives (actual vulnerabilities not identified by the Service);
No AI-powered tool, including AuditAid, can guarantee the detection of all vulnerabilities in any Smart Contract;
An Audit Report from AuditAid does not certify, attest, or guarantee the security, correctness, or fitness for deployment of any Smart Contract;
You should not rely solely on AuditAid output as the basis for deploying Smart Contracts that handle user funds or other assets of value.

5.3 Recommended Practice

For Smart Contracts deployed in production environments, particularly those handling significant user funds, AuditAid recommends using the Service as one component of a comprehensive security program that includes manual review by qualified human auditors.

6. Intellectual Property

6.1 Ownership of the Service

The Service, including its underlying technology, AI models, agent architecture, software, and branding, is owned by AuditAid and protected by applicable intellectual property laws. Nothing in these Terms grants you any ownership interest in the Service.

6.2 Ownership of Your Content

You retain full ownership of all Smart Contract code and other materials you submit to the Service. By submitting content, you grant AuditAid a limited, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to process and analyze that content solely for the purpose of providing the Service to you.

6.3 Ownership of Audit Reports

Audit Reports generated by the Service based on your submitted content are provided to you for your use. AuditAid grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use Audit Reports for the internal security purposes for which they were generated.

6.4 No Training on Your Data

AuditAid will not use your submitted Smart Contract code or the Audit Reports generated from it to train, fine-tune, or improve AI models without your explicit prior written consent.

7. Fees and Payment

Access to certain features of the Service requires a paid Subscription. By subscribing, you agree to:

Pay all applicable fees as described on our pricing page at the time of subscription;
Authorize us to charge your designated payment method on a recurring basis (monthly or annual, as selected);
Provide accurate and complete billing information.

All fees are exclusive of applicable taxes, which are your responsibility. Fees are non-refundable except as expressly provided in our refund policy or required by applicable law.

We reserve the right to modify pricing upon reasonable notice. Continued use of the Service after a price change constitutes acceptance of the new pricing.

8. General Prohibited Conduct

13. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany, without regard to its conflict-of-law principles.

Any dispute arising from or relating to these Terms or the Service that cannot be resolved informally shall be submitted to binding arbitration under the rules of the Deutsche Institution für Schiedsgerichtsbarkeit (DIS), with the seat of arbitration in Reutlingen, Germany, conducted in the English language, except that either party may seek injunctive or equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction for claims involving intellectual property or unauthorized use under Section 3.

Business users only. If you are acting in the course of a trade, business, or profession (a "Business User" under Section 13 BGB), the arbitration clause above applies to you. If you qualify as a consumer under applicable EU or national law (including Section 13 BGB), this arbitration clause does not apply to you and you retain the right to bring claims before the courts of your country of residence.

EU consumers may also use the European Commission's Online Dispute Resolution platform: https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr

You agree to attempt to resolve any dispute informally by contacting us at legal@auditaid.io before initiating formal proceedings.
