Customer Terms & Conditions
Last Updated: 12/20/2024
We are Inspectiv, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Inspectiv”). Our application security platform, available at www.inspectiv.com and https://client.inspectiv.com/ (“Website”), combines manual and automated application security testing solutions to scan for vulnerabilities (bugs) in Customer Products, prioritize and eliminate the Vulnerabilities, and help secure Customer Products at scale (“Services”). In addition to manual and automated testing and scanning, customers can publish Vulnerability Disclosure Policy (“VDP”) programs that provide guidelines for submitting information on security Vulnerabilities in Customer Products. And Customers can further leverage the global community of security researchers and ethical hackers, by deploying fully managed “bug bounty” programs that offer monetary rewards for actionable Vulnerability reports.
These Inspectiv Terms of Service, including all documents incorporated or referenced herein and all SOs and SOWs entered into hereunder (collectively, the "Agreement") govern all access to and use of the Services and other Inspectiv Technology.

Payments, Taxes
- Customer agrees to pay all fees and charges as set forth in an applicable SO or SOW (“Fees”). Inspectiv will invoice for Fees annually or quarterly in advance, or as otherwise specified in the applicable SO or SOW. Inspectiv reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to adjust applicable Fees at the end of the then-current Term, upon 30 days’ advance notice to Customer. Invoices may be provided electronically. Payment is due within 30 days of invoice date. Customer will remit payment to Inspectiv via Inspectiv’s designated payment-processing platform or at Inspectiv’s principal offices, unless Inspectiv provides notice otherwise. All Fees will be invoiced and payable in United States Dollars. All Fees are non-refundable, except as expressly agreed in writing. For any credit or debit card chargeback decided in Inspectiv’s favor, Inspectiv may invoice Customer a $25.00 charge to recover costs and pursue any other remedies available herein.
- If an invoice is not paid when due, Inspectiv may, in its sole discretion and effective upon notice to Customer, (i) suspend Services, (ii) apply a late charge on the unpaid amount equal to the lesser of 1.5% interest per month or the maximum rate allowed by Laws, (iii) require Customer to provide a deposit to guarantee payment and/or (iv) pursue any other available remedy.
- If Customer desires to dispute in good faith an invoiced amount, Customer will, within 30 days of the invoice date, (i) pay the undisputed portion of the invoiced amount and (ii) provide detailed notice of the dispute and supporting documentation. The Parties then will work diligently to resolve the dispute. If Customer does not timely submit such materials, Customer waives all rights to dispute such amounts, including any claim of set-off or reimbursement.
- All Fees are exclusive of Taxes, which Customer must pay (other than taxes based on Inspectiv’s net income). If Customer provides Inspectiv with a valid, duly executed tax exemption certificate, Inspectiv will exempt Customer from Taxes per applicable Laws, effective on the date of receipt of the certificate. If Customer disputes the application of any Taxes, Customer must give notice of the dispute within six months of the invoice date; otherwise, the application of Taxes as between Inspectiv and Customer will be deemed correct and binding on Customer. If Customer is required by Laws to deduct or withhold from any payment due hereunder, the gross amount payable to Inspectiv will be increased so that, after such deduction or withholding, the net amount received by Inspectiv will not be less than Inspectiv would have received absent such deduction or withholding.
Privacy, Security
- Inspectiv will treat any Personal Data collected from Customer or its users in accordance with the Inspectiv Privacy Policy at https://www.inspectiv.com/legal/privacy-policy.
- Each Party will implement reasonable physical, technical and organizational safeguards designed to secure the Inspectiv Technology (with respect to Inspectiv) and the Customer Materials (with respect to Customer) from unauthorized access, disclosure, loss, modification or destruction. Further, in connection with any Processing hereunder of Personal Data, each Party will comply at all times with all applicable Data Protection Laws. If any act or omission by a Party results in any actual or reasonably suspected Security Incident, such Party will (i) notify the other Party within 24 hours (unless otherwise prohibited by Laws or otherwise instructed by a law enforcement or supervisory authority) and (ii) promptly take reasonable steps to investigate and mitigate the effects of the Security Incident.
Confidentiality
Receiving Party will not use, copy or disclose Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information except as expressly permitted herein. All copies of Confidential Information remain Disclosing Party’s sole property. Receiving Party will protect Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information using at least the same procedures as it uses to protect its own Confidential Information, but with no less than reasonable care. Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information to its employees, consultants and contractors who have a need to know in connection with this Agreement and who have executed a similarly stringent confidentiality agreement or are subject to a professional duty of confidentiality. Receiving Party also may disclose Confidential Information pursuant to applicable Laws, subpoena or other order of a court of competent jurisdiction (collectively, “Legal Requirement”) or to establish rights or obligations under this Agreement in any proceeding; provided, that: (i) reasonable prior notice, unless legally prohibited, is provided to Disclosing Party to permit it the opportunity to contest such disclosure; (ii) Receiving Party cooperates with Disclosing Party to comply with any applicable protective order; and (iii) Receiving Party discloses only to the extent necessary to comply with the Legal Requirement or to establish such rights or obligations. Receiving Party will notify Disclosing Party upon discovery of any unauthorized use or disclosure of Confidential Information and will cooperate to help prevent further unauthorized use or disclosure.
These confidentiality obligations do not apply to Confidential Information which: (i) was in the other's possession before receipt from Disclosing Party; (ii) was received in good faith from a third party not subject to a confidential obligation to the other Party; (iii) now is or later becomes publicly known, through no breach of confidential obligation by Receiving Party; (iv) was developed by Receiving Party without having access to the Confidential Information received from the other Party; or (v) is authorized in writing by Disclosing Party to be released or is designated in writing by Disclosing Party as no longer confidential.
Receiving Party acknowledges that Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information is valuable and unique and that unauthorized use or disclosure will result in irreparable injury to Disclosing Party, for which monetary damages are inadequate. If Receiving Party violates or threatens to violate this Section 6, Disclosing Party may seek injunctive relief without posting bond, in addition to any other available remedies.

Miscellaneous
- Dispute Resolution, Waiver of Jury Trials and Class Actions, Attorneys’ Fees.
- Arbitration. Any claim or dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement (“Dispute”) will be exclusively resolved by binding arbitration rather than in court, except (i) as otherwise set forth in Section 14(1)(b) below and (ii) qualifying claims may be asserted in small claims court. The Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration Laws will apply to any Dispute resolved by arbitration. In arbitration, there is no judge or jury, and court review of an award may be limited; but an arbitrator may award the same damages and relief as a court and must follow the Agreement just as a court would. The Arbitration will be conducted in Los Angeles, California unless Customer chooses to have it conducted by telephone, based on written submissions, or the Parties mutually agree to another location. The arbitration will be conducted under JAMS’ Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures, per the Expedited Procedures in those Rules. See http://www.jamsadr.com/rules-comprehensive-arbitration/ or call 1-800-352-5267. The JAMS rules will govern payment of filing, administration and arbitrator fees. Judgment on an arbitration award may be entered in any court with competent jurisdiction.
- Intellectual Property Disputes, Waiver of Jury Trial. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either Party may sue in court to enjoin infringement, misappropriation or other violation of Intellectual Property Rights. Any such proceeding will be brought and maintained only in a Federal or State court of competent jurisdiction located in Los Angeles County, California. Each Party consents to the mandatory jurisdiction and venue of such courts and waives any right to object to jurisdiction and venue. The Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act and United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods will not apply to this Agreement. THE PARTIES FURTHER WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY DISPUTE TO WHICH THEY MAY BE PARTIES ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. THIS WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL IS SEPARATELY GIVEN, AND IS KNOWINGLY, WILLINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY MADE.
- Waiver of Class Action. THE PARTIES HEREBY AGREE THAT ANY ARBITRATION OR OTHER DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEEDINGS WILL BE CONDUCTED ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT IN A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. THIS WAIVER IS SEPARATELY GIVEN, AND IS KNOWINGLY, WILLINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY MADE.

A Party whose performance is affected by a Force Majeure Event will promptly provide notice with relevant details to the other Party and the notifying Party’s obligations will be suspended to the extent caused by such Force Majeure Event for as long as it continues; and the time to perform the affected obligation will be extended by the delay caused by the Force Majeure Event. If the affected Party is prevented by the Force Majeure Event from performing its obligations with regard to any Services for 30 days, either Party may in its sole discretion immediately terminate the affected Services upon notice to the other Party; provided that, if Customer terminates, Customer must first provide Inspectiv a reasonable opportunity to comparably replace the affected Services. Upon such termination, Inspectiv is entitled to payment of all accrued but unpaid Fees incurred through the termination date. The Parties otherwise will bear their own costs and Inspectiv will be under no further liability to perform the affected Services.
