Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of these terms

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of codescan.dev ("the Service"), operated by Ludo Technologies Inc. ("we", "us"). By accessing the Service or submitting a repository for scanning, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

2. What the Service does

The Service accepts the URL of a GitHub repository, runs a set of automated security checks (such as static analysis, secret detection, and dependency vulnerability lookup), and presents the findings as a report identified by a unique URL. Scanning a public repository requires no account; to scan a private repository you sign in with GitHub so the Service can access it on your behalf. The Service is currently provided free of charge.

3. Eligibility

You must be at least the age of majority in your jurisdiction (or have permission from a parent or guardian) and legally able to enter into these Terms to use the Service. If you are using the Service on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization to these Terms.

4. Acceptable use

You agree that you will not:

• Submit repositories that you do not own or otherwise have the right to submit for scanning;
• Use the Service to attack, overload, probe, or test systems for which you do not have explicit permission;
• Submit volumes of scan requests that are abusive or that interfere with the Service's availability for other users, including via automated scripts that bypass on-page rate limiting;
• Attempt to reverse-engineer, exploit, or otherwise compromise the Service or its infrastructure, except through good-faith security research disclosed to us privately;
• Use the Service to violate any applicable law or third-party right, including intellectual property, privacy, or anti-spam laws.

We may rate-limit, suspend, or block requests that we reasonably believe violate these rules.

5. Scan reports

When a scan completes, we generate a report page at a unique URL (/scan/<id>) so it can be revisited and shared. For a public repository, anyone with the URL can view the report; we mark scan pages as noindex to keep them out of search engines, but they are not otherwise access-controlled, so by submitting a public repository you acknowledge that the resulting report may be viewed by anyone you share the URL with. For a private repository, the report is restricted to the signed-in GitHub account that started the scan and is not served to other visitors.

If you would like a particular scan report removed, contact us using the address below. See the Privacy Policy for details on how scan data is handled.

6. Intellectual property

The repositories you submit remain owned by their original authors under their existing licenses. We do not claim ownership of that code. Scan findings reproduce small portions of source code for the sole purpose of pointing at the issue; for public repositories this is intended to be a fair, descriptive use of publicly available material, and for private repositories these snippets are shown only to the signed-in owner who submitted the scan.

The Service itself — including the site, branding, design, and the text of reports outside the reproduced code — is owned by Ludo Technologies Inc. and protected by applicable laws. You may share scan report URLs and link to the Service freely. Other uses require our prior permission.

7. Third-party content and services

The Service depends on third parties — including GitHub, open source security scanners, vulnerability databases, and cloud infrastructure providers. Their availability, accuracy, and licensing terms are outside our control. We are not responsible for the content of any repository scanned through the Service.

8. No warranty

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, accuracy, or uninterrupted availability.

Scan results are best-effort summaries produced by automated tools. They may include false positives, miss real issues, or become outdated as new vulnerabilities are disclosed. Scan reports are not a substitute for a professional security audit. You are responsible for independently evaluating the safety of any code before relying on it.

9. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Ludo Technologies Inc. and its officers, employees, and contractors will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, or goodwill, arising out of or in connection with your use of the Service.

To the extent we are found liable despite the above, our total aggregate liability for any claim related to the Service is limited to JPY 1,000. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations of liability, in which case the limitations apply only to the extent permitted by law.

10. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold us harmless from any claims, damages, or expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of your misuse of the Service, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any law or third-party right.

11. Suspension and termination

We may suspend, throttle, or terminate access to the Service for any user at any time, with or without notice, if we reasonably believe these Terms have been violated or if continued use would harm the Service or other users. We may also discontinue the Service, in whole or in part, at any time.

12. Changes to the Service or these Terms

We may update the Service's features, scanners, and report format over time. We may also update these Terms when the Service evolves or as the law requires; when we make material changes we will update the "Last updated" date above. Continued use of the Service after a change indicates acceptance of the revised Terms.

13. Governing law and venue

These Terms are governed by the laws of Japan, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service will be submitted to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Yokohama District Court, Japan, as the court of first instance, except where applicable consumer protection law gives you a different non-waivable right.

14. Miscellaneous

If any provision of these Terms is held to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of our right to do so later. You may not assign these Terms without our consent. We may assign these Terms in connection with a reorganization or sale of our business.
