# Privify Scout — Download & Network Scanning Authorization Agreement
**Version 1.0.0 — Effective Date: [INSERT DATE ON FIRST RELEASE]**
> **Note on this document.** This Agreement was prepared to give Privify Inc.
> a strong, comprehensive starting position for the *download portal* at
> scout.privify.io specifically — it is not a substitute for review by a
> licensed attorney. Bracketed placeholders (governing law, entity address,
> notice email) must be filled in before production use. This document
> supplements, and does not replace, the [Privify Scout Terms of
> Service](/terms) (the "Software Terms"), which govern actual use of the
> software once downloaded; both apply.

## Why this exists
Privify Scout is a network- and endpoint-discovery tool. Run against a
network you do not own or are not authorized to scan, it can be
indistinguishable from unauthorized network reconnaissance — a serious legal
exposure for both the person running it and, absent clear evidence to the
contrary, Privify Inc. as the tool's author. This Agreement exists to put
that exposure where it belongs: on the party who chooses what to scan and
where to run the tool. **You do — not Privify.**
By requesting a download below, you make specific, individually-logged
representations about who you are and what you intend to scan, and you
receive a uniquely-identified download link tied to that submission. This is
by design: it gives Privify Inc. contemporaneous, individually attributable
evidence of authorization for every copy of the Software it distributes.
## 1. Who this Agreement binds
This Agreement is between the individual or entity submitting the download
request ("**you**," "**Requester**") and **Privify Inc.** ("**Privify**,"
"**we**," "**us**"). If you are requesting a download on behalf of a
company or other organization, you represent that you have the authority to
bind that organization, and "you" includes that organization for all
purposes below.
## 2. Representations and Warranties — Authorization to Scan
By submitting the form on this page, you represent and warrant, as a
condition of receiving a download link, that:
1. You will only run Privify Scout against devices, networks, and systems
that you own, or for which you have obtained **prior, explicit, written
authorization** from the owner or operator to perform network and
endpoint discovery scanning;
2. The network scope you describe in the form below is accurate and
complete to the best of your knowledge at the time of submission;
3. You will comply with all applicable laws in every jurisdiction where you
run the Software, including but not limited to computer-fraud and
unauthorized-access statutes (e.g., the U.S. Computer Fraud and Abuse
Act and equivalent state and non-U.S. laws);
4. You are not located in, or a national or resident of, any country or
territory subject to U.S. export sanctions or embargoes, and you are not
on any U.S. government restricted-party list; and
5. The information you provide (name, work email, company, and scanning
scope) is truthful and belongs to you, not a fabricated or borrowed
identity.
Privify has no ability to verify these representations at the time of
download and relies on them entirely. A false representation under this
Section is a material breach of this Agreement and may expose you to
liability independent of any claim Privify may have.
## 3. Evidentiary Logging — What We Record and Why
To be able to demonstrate, if ever required, that a given copy of the
Software was released only after the Requester made the representations in
Section 2, submitting the form causes Privify to record and retain:
- The information you typed into the form (name, work email, company,
job title, and described network scope);
- The exact version and cryptographic hash (SHA-256) of this Agreement and
of the Software Terms of Service as displayed to you at submission time;
- The typed name you provide as your electronic signature (see Section 4);
- The IP address and browser user-agent string of the device used to
submit the form;
- A unique download token minted for your submission, and a timestamped
record of every subsequent download made using that token (including its
own IP address and user-agent, which may differ from the submission
device);
- The date and time of each of the above events (UTC).
This record is retained by Privify for so long as reasonably necessary for
evidentiary, legal, and compliance purposes, and may be produced in response
to a legal process, a security incident investigation, or a good-faith
inquiry from a party affected by a scan run with a copy of the Software
traced to your download token. **You consent to this collection and
retention as a condition of receiving a download link.**
## 4. Electronic Signature
Typing your full legal name into the "Signature" field of the form and
clicking "I Agree & Request Download" constitutes your electronic signature
on this Agreement, with the same legal effect as a handwritten signature, to
the fullest extent permitted by applicable electronic-signature law
(including the U.S. ESIGN Act and, where applicable, UETA).
## 5. Indemnification
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Privify Inc., its
officers, directors, employees, contractors, and affiliates from and
against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and
expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related
to: (a) any scan you perform with the Software against a network or system
you were not authorized to scan; (b) any breach of the representations in
Section 2; or (c) any violation of applicable law in connection with your
use of the Software. This indemnification obligation survives the
completion or termination of your use of the Software.
## 6. No Warranty; Limitation of Liability
The download portal and the Software are provided strictly subject to the
"AS-IS" disclaimer, assumption-of-risk, and limitation-of-liability
provisions set out in full in the [Software Terms of Service](/terms),
which are incorporated into this Agreement by reference. Nothing in this
Agreement expands any warranty or liability commitment made there.
## 7. Governing Law
This Agreement is governed by the laws of [State/Country], without regard
to its conflict-of-laws principles, consistent with the governing-law
provision of the Software Terms of Service.
## 8. Acceptance
**BY CHECKING THE ACKNOWLEDGMENT BOX, TYPING YOUR NAME AS AN ELECTRONIC
SIGNATURE, AND CLICKING "I AGREE & REQUEST DOWNLOAD," YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT
YOU HAVE READ AND UNDERSTOOD THIS AGREEMENT AND THE SOFTWARE TERMS OF
SERVICE, AND YOU AGREE TO BE LEGALLY BOUND BY BOTH.** If you do not agree,
do not submit the form.
