Terms of service

Plain English, not a wall of legal boilerplate. If anything here is unclear, email us and ask.

Last updated: 5 September 2026

1

What the service is

VibeBeacon (“the service”) watches the runtimes, frameworks and packages in the inventory you upload and reports matching public advisories. It does not inspect your live deployment or certify that an app is secure. The registered ABN entity is The Trustee for Evans Family Trust, ABN 91 553 120 290, New South Wales, Australia.

2

Accounts

You sign in with a magic link, GitHub, or a passkey. No passwords are stored. You are responsible for keeping your sign-in email and any API keys you create under your control. Tell us if you think a key has leaked; revoking it takes one click in Settings.

3

The free app and paid apps

Free and Pro include one free monitored app. Team bills every app and includes no free slot. Additional apps are billed through Stripe. We may change plans and prices at any time, but we will always email notice to subscribers before a change takes effect for them, giving you the chance to cancel first.

You can cancel any time from the billing page. Unused paid time is not refunded, except where Australian Consumer Law requires a remedy. Cancelled apps drop back to the free one at the end of the paid period and pause rather than delete.

The operator is registered for Australian GST. The checkout shows applicable tax and the final total before you pay. Archiving or deleting an app does not immediately remove its billable slot: the slot is held for 30 days. Review your billable quantity before checkout.

4

Acceptable use

  • Do not use the service to scan or monitor apps you do not have the right to monitor.
  • Do not attempt to bypass rate limits or interfere with the service for other users.
  • Do not upload anything other than a manifest as described in the manifest format reference; the server rejects detected secret patterns, and repeated attempts may lead to account suspension.
  • Good-faith security research must follow our security disclosure policy.
  • Do not resell or rebrand the service without written agreement.

5

What we store

We hold uploaded inventory, account and billing references, alert history, preferences and operational records. The full, field-by-field description of what is stored and for how long is on the privacy page, which is part of these terms by reference.

6

Availability

The service is provided on a best-effort basis. At this stage of the product we make no uptime guarantee and offer no service credits for downtime. We aim to tell you about planned maintenance in advance where practical.

Coverage is incomplete. Publishers can delay, change or withdraw advisories; feeds, matching and notifications can fail. Refresh schedules are targets, not delivery guarantees. An empty alert list does not prove safety. Check the source coverage and refresh status. Keep your own security checks, verify affected versions and test changes before deployment.

7

Liability

To the extent permitted by law, our total liability to you arising out of or related to the service is limited to the fees you paid us in the 12 months before the claim arose. We are not liable for indirect or consequential loss. Nothing here limits liability that cannot be limited under Australian Consumer Law.

8

Termination

You can delete your account at any time from Settings, which removes your apps, alerts and email address as described on the privacy page. We can suspend or close an account that breaches the acceptable use section above, and will tell you why when we do.

9

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of New South Wales, Australia. You and we submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of New South Wales.
