Terms
Use Certus within the authority you have been given.
These terms govern access to the Certus site and evaluation service. An executed customer agreement governs paid or enterprise use where it provides different terms. Last updated September 12, 2026.
Acceptance and scope
By accessing the service, you agree to these terms on behalf of yourself or the organization you represent. If you act for an organization, you confirm that you have authority to accept them for that organization.
Accounts and access
Keep account credentials confidential and provide accurate account information. You are responsible for activity performed through your account and for promptly reporting suspected unauthorized access.
Authorized use
You may submit only repositories, systems, credentials, and data you are authorized to use. Do not use Certus to disrupt services, bypass access controls, or test third parties without permission.
Do not attempt to extract another tenant’s data, defeat usage controls, introduce malicious workloads outside an authorized verification target, or use the service in a way that violates applicable law.
Customer content
You retain your rights in repositories, policies, fixtures, and other material you submit. You authorize Certus and its service providers to process that material only as needed to provide, secure, and support the contracted service.
You are responsible for ensuring that your submissions and requested tests comply with your agreements and the permissions of the systems involved.
Service output
Verdicts describe the evidence produced by a specific run, repository state, plan, environment, and policy. They do not warrant that software is free of defects, secure against every threat, or suitable for every environment.
Preserve the manifest and evidence references when relying on or sharing a verdict. A summary separated from its evidence may omit limits that affect its meaning.
Plans and payment
Plan allowances, billing periods, overage or top-up terms, and retention periods are shown at purchase or stated in the customer agreement. Taxes and third-party provider charges may apply as described there.
Availability and changes
Certus may update the service, suspend access needed to protect the service or other tenants, and discontinue evaluation features. Operational health signals describe the checks they actually perform; they are not a promise of uninterrupted availability.
Ending access
You may stop using an evaluation account at any time. Certus may limit or end access for a material breach, unlawful use, security risk, or nonpayment, subject to any notice and cure rights in a customer agreement.
Customer agreements
Order forms, data-processing terms, service levels, support commitments, warranties, liability terms, governing law, and dispute procedures for paid service are set out in the executed customer agreement. That agreement controls if it conflicts with this page.
