These Terms govern your access to and use of azemsec.com ("Service"). By using the Service you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

1. About the Operator

AzemSec is operated by an individual based in Germany. As a result, German law governs this agreement where it mandatorily applies — in particular consumer protection provisions, data protection law (GDPR/BDSG) and the Telemediengesetz (TMG). Where German law does not mandatorily apply, the parties are free to rely on the terms as written.

2. Who Can Use the Service

There is no minimum age requirement to use AzemSec. The Service does not collect data from or target children, and contains no age-restricted content. If you are using the Service on behalf of a company or organisation, you represent that you have authority to bind that entity to these Terms.

3. What the Service Does

AzemSec is an automated threat-intelligence tool. It checks URLs, email content, sender addresses and file hashes against publicly available third-party databases and applies algorithmic heuristics. Results are informational only and do not constitute professional security, legal or financial advice. A "Safe" result is not a guarantee.

4. Plans and Payment

AzemSec offers a free tier and paid subscription plans (Pro at €7/month, Business at €24/month) processed via Stripe. All prices are inclusive of any applicable VAT. You may cancel at any time — access continues until the end of the current billing period.

5. Right of Withdrawal (Widerrufsrecht)

If you are a consumer within the meaning of § 13 BGB (i.e. acting for purposes outside your trade, business or profession), you have the right to withdraw from a subscription contract within 14 days without giving any reason (§ 355 BGB). To withdraw, contact support@azemsec.com with a clear statement. Once the service has been fully performed with your express prior consent and acknowledgement that the right of withdrawal is lost, it is extinguished (§ 356 Abs. 4 BGB).

6. Research Data Collection

All scans — whether run by logged-in users or anonymously — are stored in our database for the purpose of improving threat detection. This data consists of: scan type, the query submitted, the risk score returned, the verdict, and a timestamp. We do not store this data offline and we do not share it with third parties for commercial purposes. It is used solely for internal research and product improvement. See our Privacy Policy for full details.

7. Acceptable Use

You may not use the Service for unlawful purposes, attempt to reverse-engineer it, use automated scripts to abuse it, resell results without written permission, or impersonate any person or entity.

8. Intellectual Property

All content, design, code and branding of AzemSec are protected under applicable copyright law. Private non-commercial use is permitted where allowed by law.

9. Disclaimer of Warranties

The Service is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind to the extent permitted by applicable law. Threat databases are maintained by independent third parties and we have no control over their accuracy or completeness.

10. Limitation of Liability

Where German law applies: AzemSec is fully liable for intentional misconduct (Vorsatz) and gross negligence (grobe Fahrlässigkeit). For slight negligence, liability is limited to breaches of material contractual obligations (Kardinalpflichten) and capped at foreseeable, typical damage. Liability for injury to life, body or health is unlimited. AzemSec is not liable for indirect or consequential damages from slight negligence, including financial loss arising from reliance on scan results.

Where German law does not mandatorily apply, our total liability shall not exceed the greater of the amount you paid us in the 12 months preceding the claim or €50.

11. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms at any time. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance. We will notify registered users of material changes by email.

12. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the law of the Federal Republic of Germany where mandatorily applicable (in particular consumer protection and data protection law). The UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) is excluded.

13. EU Dispute Resolution
