Terms of Service

By accessing or using the Deep Guard website (deepguard.io) or any content published on it, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree to these terms, you must not use this website.

These terms apply to all visitors, subscribers, and any other persons who access or use the website. Deep Guard reserves the right to modify these terms at any time. Continued use of the website following any modification constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.

Deep Guard publishes security intelligence content including incident reports, vulnerability analyses, post-mortem breakdowns, and general security research. This content is provided for educational and informational purposes only.

All security research content published on this website, including analyses of third-party protocols, exploits, and vulnerabilities, represents the independent editorial and research opinion of Deep Guard at the time of publication. It does not constitute legal advice, financial advice, or investment advice of any kind.

Where an official post-mortem or technical disclosure has not yet been published by the affected protocol, Deep Guard may publish analysis based on publicly available information and open-source code review. Such content will be clearly labelled as a preliminary or reconstructed analysis. Deep Guard makes no warranty as to the accuracy of such preliminary analyses and undertakes to update them as authoritative information becomes available.

Where code samples are published in security research articles, they are provided as illustrative reconstructions for educational purposes only. They do not constitute actual exploit code and must not be used to attack, test, or probe any protocol or system without explicit authorisation from the owner of that system.

Nothing published on this website should be relied upon as the sole basis for any decision relating to the security, investment value, or legal standing of any protocol, token, or digital asset.

Security audits, assessments, and reports referenced on this website reflect the state of a protocol at a specific point in time. They do not constitute a guarantee that a protocol is free from vulnerabilities at any subsequent point. The blockchain security landscape evolves continuously, and new vulnerabilities may emerge after any audit is completed.

Third parties who rely on any content published on this website do so at their own risk.

Deep Guard security audits and assessments are professional services provided under separate written engagement agreements. Information about our services published on this website is for general descriptive purposes and does not constitute a representation or warranty regarding the outcome or scope of any specific engagement.

A security audit does not guarantee the absence of all vulnerabilities. Deep Guard applies industry-standard methodologies and reasonable professional care, but no security review can identify every possible vulnerability in every possible context. Clients are advised to treat audit completion as one component of a broader security programme, not as a final certification of safety.

Audit reports and certifications displayed on this website reflect the outcome of a specific, time-limited review. They do not certify the ongoing security of a protocol following subsequent code changes, upgrades, or integrations.

This website contains hyperlinks to third-party websites, publications, code repositories, and blockchain explorers. These links are provided for reference and convenience only. Deep Guard does not endorse, control, or accept responsibility for the content, accuracy, or privacy practices of any linked third-party site.

Where third-party sources are cited in security research content, Deep Guard has made reasonable efforts to verify the accuracy of the cited information at the time of publication. However, third-party sources may be updated, corrected, or removed after publication, and Deep Guard is not responsible for such changes.

All content published on this website, including written articles, code samples, graphics, and design elements, is the intellectual property of Deep Guard unless otherwise stated. You may share links to our content and quote brief excerpts with attribution, provided that attribution clearly identifies Deep Guard as the source and includes a link to the original article.

Reproduction, republication, or commercial use of any content without prior written permission from Deep Guard is prohibited. The Deep Guard name and logo are trademarks of Deep Guard. They may not be used without prior written consent.

Open-source code cited or referenced in our security research articles remains the intellectual property of its respective authors and is subject to the licences under which it is published.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Deep Guard, its directors, employees, contractors, and affiliates shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or exemplary damages arising from or in connection with your use of this website or reliance on any content published on it.

This includes, without limitation, damages arising from errors or omissions in published content, inaccuracies in preliminary security analyses, actions taken or not taken based on information published on this website, and losses arising from third-party exploits or security incidents described in our research.

In jurisdictions where the exclusion of liability is not permitted, our liability is limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.

This website and all content published on it are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis without warranties of any kind, either express or implied. Deep Guard expressly disclaims all warranties including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

Deep Guard does not warrant that the website will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free from viruses or other harmful components. You assume full responsibility for your use of the website and any consequences thereof.

Security research content published on this website is intended to improve the security posture of the Web3 ecosystem by promoting transparency and informed decision-making. You agree not to use any information published on this website to attack, exploit, probe, or test any protocol, smart contract, or system without explicit written authorisation from the owner of that system.

Using information from this website to conduct unauthorised access or exploitation of any computer system or blockchain protocol may violate applicable laws including the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA), the Computer Misuse Act, and equivalent legislation in other jurisdictions. Deep Guard accepts no liability for the misuse of information published on this website.

These Terms of Service shall be governed by and construed in accordance with applicable law. Any disputes arising out of or in connection with these terms shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the applicable territory. If any provision of these terms is found to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.
