Terms of Use

Last updated: July 14, 2026

1. Agreement

These terms are between you and AridNova(“we”, “us”). They govern your use of the AridNovawebsite at aridnova.net, our documentation, and our publicly accessible demo environment (together, the “Services”).

By using the Services you accept these terms. If you do not accept them, do not use the Services. If you are using the Services for an organisation, you confirm you are authorised to accept these terms on its behalf.

2. What the Services are

AridNova reconstructs a dependency map of a microservice system by analysing source code, and uses that model to surface change impact, authorization policy inconsistencies, policy drift, and generated test scenarios. The website and documentation describe the product. The demo lets you try it against repositories you choose.

The Services are offered for evaluation. Nothing on this site is an offer of a service level, a support commitment, or a guarantee of availability.

3. The public demo

The demo is a shared, non-production environment provided so you can explore how the product works. It is not a private tenant, it is not hardened for confidential material, and it may be reset, changed, or taken offline at any time without notice.

Do not submit private, proprietary, regulated, or organisational repositories to the public demo. Use open-source or publicly available repositories. Do not enter production credentials, real access tokens, or secrets. If you need to evaluate AridNova against private code, contact us at team@aridnova.cloud and we will arrange an appropriate environment.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we accept no responsibility for the exposure of private code, credentials, or other confidential material that you choose to process through the public demo against this guidance.

4. Your responsibilities for the code you analyse

You are responsible for making sure that, for anything you analyse:

• you own it or have the rights and permissions needed to submit it for analysis;
• doing so does not breach a licence, a contract, or a duty of confidentiality you owe to someone else;
• you have authority to run generated tests against any target system you point them at.

Generated tests make real requests against whatever target you configure. Only run them against systems you own or are explicitly authorised to test.

5. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• use the Services to attack, probe, or test any system without authorisation;
• attempt to gain unauthorised access to the Services or to other users' data;
• interfere with or place unreasonable load on the demo environment;
• reverse engineer the Services except to the extent that restriction is unenforceable by law;
• resell, sublicense, or use the Services to build a competing product;
• upload malware or unlawful content.

6. Intellectual property

We own the Services, including the software, documentation, and branding. These terms do not transfer any of that to you. You may use the documentation for your own internal evaluation.

You keep all rights in the code you submit. We do not claim ownership of it. We use it only to operate the Services and produce your analysis results, as described in Data & Compliance.

Analysis output generated for you — the recovered model, findings, and generated tests — is yours to use. We may retain and use aggregated, de-identified metrics about how the Services perform.

7. Feedback

If you send us suggestions, we may use them without restriction and without owing you anything for them.

8. Third-party services

The Services link to and integrate with third parties, including GitHub for repository access and YouTube for embedded videos. Your use of those services is governed by their terms, not ours. We are not responsible for them.

9. Pilots and paid engagements

Paid pilots and commercial engagements are governed by a separate written agreement between us. If anything in that agreement conflicts with this page, that agreement wins.

10. Disclaimer of warranties

The Services are provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement.

This one matters, so we will be direct about it. AridNova's output is analysis, not assurance. Static analysis, formal verification results, policy findings, and AI-generated summaries and tests are all subject to false positives and false negatives. A clean result is not proof that your system is secure, correct, or compliant. Do not treat AridNova as a substitute for security review, testing, professional judgement, or legal and regulatory advice. You remain responsible for decisions you make about your own systems.

11. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, AridNova will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, revenue, data, or goodwill, arising out of or relating to your use of the Services, even if we have been advised of the possibility.

Our total aggregate liability arising out of or relating to the Services will not exceed the greater of the amount you paid us for the Services in the twelve months before the claim, or one hundred US dollars (US$100).

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain exclusions or limitations, so parts of this section may not apply to you. Nothing here excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded.

12. Indemnity

You agree to indemnify and hold AridNova harmless from claims, losses, and reasonable legal costs arising from your misuse of the Services, your breach of these terms, or your submission of material you did not have the right to submit.

13. Suspension and termination

We may suspend or terminate access to the Services at any time, including if we believe you are breaching these terms or putting the demo environment or other users at risk. You may stop using the Services at any time. Sections that by their nature should survive termination will survive it.

14. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Arizona, United States, without regard to its conflict of laws rules. The courts located in that jurisdiction will have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute, and you consent to their jurisdiction and venue.

15. Changes

We may update these terms as the product changes. We will revise the date at the top of this page. Continuing to use the Services after a change means you accept the updated terms.

16. General

If a provision of these terms is unenforceable, the rest stays in effect. Our not enforcing a provision is not a waiver of it. You may not assign these terms without our consent; we may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets. These terms, plus any documents they reference, are the entire agreement between us about the Services.
