SCANTIDE GUARD — SOFTWARE DISCLAIMER AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

IMPORTANT — PLEASE READ BEFORE INSTALLING OR USING THE SOFTWARE

Scantide Guard, Scantide Guard Datacenter, Legacy Guard, Linux Guard and related utilities, updates, integrations, assessment features, certificate/TLS functions, blocking functions and documentation (collectively, the “Software”) are provided on an “AS IS” and “AS AVAILABLE” basis.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Software is provided without warranties or conditions of any kind, whether express, implied or statutory, including without limitation warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, availability, accuracy, uninterrupted operation, non-infringement, or that the Software will detect, prevent or remediate every security event, vulnerability, attack, certificate problem, configuration issue or service failure.

USE AT YOUR OWN RISK
The Software can make or recommend security-sensitive changes, including firewall blocking, policy enforcement, service configuration, certificate/TLS assessment and, in future or explicitly enabled functions, certificate or binding changes. Incorrect configuration, false positives, software defects, environmental differences, dependency failures or administrator actions may cause loss of connectivity, blocked legitimate traffic, authentication failures, certificate/TLS failures, application outages, service disruption, data loss or other operational impact.

You are responsible for testing the Software in a suitable non-production environment, maintaining backups and recovery procedures, preserving independent administrative access, validating allowlists and policies, reviewing recommendations before applying changes, and determining whether the Software is appropriate for your environment.

LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Scantide and its developers, contributors, suppliers and service providers shall not be liable for service interruption, downtime, loss of connectivity, blocked legitimate traffic, lost or corrupted data, loss of revenue, loss of profits, loss of business, loss of goodwill, loss of use, certificate or TLS failures, security incidents, indirect or consequential loss, or other damages arising from installation, configuration, use, inability to use, or reliance on the Software or its reports, recommendations or integrations.

LICENSED SOFTWARE
The purchase, activation, subscription, trial, evaluation or possession of a valid license key does not change the “AS IS” nature of the Software and does not create a guarantee of uninterrupted operation, fitness for a particular environment, absence of defects, or prevention of operational or security incidents. Licensing grants the applicable right to use licensed functionality; it does not constitute a warranty or assumption of operational risk by Scantide.

SECURITY AND ASSESSMENT OUTPUT
Findings, classifications, threat-intelligence results, certificate/TLS posture, CVE/lifecycle information and remediation suggestions are informational and may be incomplete, delayed, environment-specific or affected by third-party data and services. Administrators must independently validate changes before applying them to production systems. References to third-party remediation tools are suggestions only and do not imply endorsement, warranty or responsibility for those products.

BETA / UNDER-DEVELOPMENT FEATURES
Features marked Beta, Preview, Experimental or Under Development require additional testing and must not be assumed production-ready. Their behavior, data model and compatibility may change.

Nothing in this disclaimer excludes or limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited under applicable law.

By installing or using the Software, you acknowledge these operational risks and agree that responsibility for deployment, configuration, testing, recovery and production use remains with the administrator and organization operating the Software.
