Responsible-use terms

Terms of use.

Version 1.0 · 8 November 2026. Review these draft business terms before public launch.

Authorised use only

You may use Sentinel's domain assessment feature only for assets you own or are expressly authorised to review. Ownership proof is a technical safeguard, not a substitute for your legal authority to test an organisation's systems.

What the service provides

Sentinel offers an informational read-only HTTPS-header review and synthetic educational exercises. Scores and findings do not guarantee security, prevent cyberattacks or establish regulatory compliance. AI summaries may be inaccurate.

Prohibited activities

Do not attempt to bypass domain verification or rate limits, submit unlawful requests, impersonate another organisation, interfere with the service or use its outputs to misrepresent a professional audit or certification.

Professional review

Production configuration changes, incident response decisions and legal compliance questions should be checked by appropriately qualified personnel. Where necessary, engage accredited or competent independent professionals.

Availability and limitations

The free service has usage limits and may be interrupted. Export records you wish to retain. Corporate training or pilot engagements require separate written terms.
