Terms of Service

By accessing or using VibeCheck (“the Service”), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

VibeCheck is an automated code scanning tool. We run static checks first using pattern and structure-based analysis to flag likely security and quality risks, then use AI-assisted analysis as an additional layer. It helps you spot likely issues fast, but it is not a replacement for a professional security audit, a human code review, or a legal/compliance assessment.

A high Vibe Score does not mean your code is vulnerability-free. Your code looks good against the scans and checks we ran.

You agree not to:

• Submit code you do not have the right to analyze (e.g., stolen source code)
• Use the Service to reverse-engineer or attack other systems
• Attempt to overwhelm, abuse, or exploit the Service's infrastructure
• Misrepresent a VibeCheck Certified badge or score
• Use the Service for any unlawful purpose

The free tier (“Quick Check”) allows snippet analysis with limited results. No account is required.

Paid tiers (Self Check, Deep Check) require an account and payment. Subscriptions are billed monthly. You may cancel at any time — access continues until the end of your current billing period.

Human review services (White Glove tiers) are billed per project. Refunds are available if work has not yet begun.

You retain full ownership of any code you submit to VibeCheck. We do not claim any intellectual property rights over your code. We do not use submitted code to train AI models.

The VibeCheck name, logo, scoring system, and Certified badge are our intellectual property. Certified badges may only be displayed by projects that have a current, valid certification.

Automated Scanning

Automated checks (Quick Check, Self Check, Deep Check) are processed immediately upon submission. Results are typically available within 60 seconds for snippet scans and within 5 minutes for full repository scans, depending on codebase size and server load. We do not guarantee specific processing times.

Human Review Services

Human review services (Basic Human Check, Full Project Audit, Pre-Launch Certification, and Retainer) are subject to the following:

• We will respond within 72 hours of your submission to acknowledge receipt, assess the scope of your project, and confirm a realistic timeline.
• Timelines stated on our pricing page are estimates only and are not contractual commitments. Actual completion time depends on codebase size, complexity, and current reviewer availability.
• A confirmed timeline will be provided before work begins. You may cancel for a full refund at any point before work has started.
• Human reviews include written findings and fix recommendations. Delivery of fixed or corrected code, where included in your tier, refers to annotated code samples and suggested corrections — not a fully rewritten or production-ready codebase.
• The 30-day follow-up support included with certain tiers covers questions related to the specific review delivered. It does not cover new features, additional code, or issues outside the original scope.

Retainer Services

Retainer agreements are month-to-month. Scope is defined at the start of each billing cycle in coordination with your assigned reviewer. Unused review capacity does not roll over to the following month.

Delays and Force Majeure

We will communicate proactively if a review is delayed beyond the confirmed timeline. In cases of significant delay caused by circumstances outside our control, we will offer a timeline extension or a full refund at your discretion.

Modifications to Services

We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any service tier at any time. Customers with active paid subscriptions or in-progress human reviews will be notified in advance and offered a pro-rated refund where applicable.

VibeCheck is provided “as is.” We do not make promises that our analysis is perfectly accurate, complete, or suitable for your specific use case.

We do not guarantee that every bug, vulnerability, or compliance issue will be detected.

You are responsible for decisions you make based on VibeCheck results. Do not ship code to production based only on a VibeCheck scan.

Using VibeCheck does not transfer security, quality, or compliance responsibility from you to us.

Some paid tiers include real developers reviewing your code. Those reviews are professional opinions, not guarantees.

Turnaround times are estimates, not contractual deadlines.

VibeCheck and its operators are not liable for damages, losses, or security incidents that happen from using the service or relying on its output.

By using VibeCheck, you agree that responsibility for your code and production systems remains with you.

Code submitted for scanning is processed to generate results. We do not store submitted code permanently and we do not use your code to train models.

We do not sell your code or scan results to third parties.

Certified badges are valid for 6 months from the date of issuance. Renewal requires a new review at 50% of the original price.

We reserve the right to revoke certification if we discover the badge is being misused or the certified code has been materially altered without re-review.

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service if you violate these terms. You may close your account at any time by contacting us.

We may update these terms from time to time. Continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated terms. We'll notify registered users of material changes via email.
