These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of DepVitals (“Service”), operated by Guillermo Guerini (“we,” “us,” or “our”), accessible at depvitals.com. By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service. If you use the Service on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization to these Terms.
1. Eligibility
You must be at least 16 years old to use the Service. By using the Service, you represent that you meet this age requirement and have the legal capacity to enter into a binding agreement. The Service is not intended for children under 16 or for use by schools, parents, or guardians on behalf of children.
2. Description of Service
DepVitals is a software-as-a-service platform that analyzes your software projects’ dependency health, assigns letter grades based on version drift and available package-health signals, and provides informational recommendations. Those signals may include public vulnerability advisories and deprecation notices, but the Service is not a substitute for a security audit or professional assessment. The Service integrates with third-party version control platforms to access manifest files you explicitly authorize us to read.
3. Account Registration
You must provide accurate, current information when creating an account. You agree to keep your password secure and confidential, notify us immediately at [email protected] if you suspect unauthorized access, and take responsibility for all activity that occurs under your account. If your account is associated with a team or organization, account administrators may manage access to projects and integrations for that account.
4. Use of the Service
4.1 Permitted Use
You may use the Service to upload or sync software dependency lock files, analyze dependency versions, and view health grades for your software projects.
4.2 Version Control Integration
If you connect a version control account, you authorize us to access repositories using the permissions you grant through the relevant platform, including GitHub App installation permissions where applicable. You represent that you have the authority to connect the repositories you authorize, and that your use of the integration complies with the terms of service of the respective platform. We will use that access only as needed to provide the Service, including listing authorized repositories, reading dependency manifest and lock files, checking pull request file lists, receiving webhook events, and posting or updating pull request comments if enabled. You may disconnect any integration at any time from your account settings or from the version control platform.
4.3 Prohibited Use
You agree not to:
- Use the Service for any unlawful purpose or in violation of applicable laws
- Upload or sync files containing malware or files you do not have the right to share
- Upload or sync secrets, production credentials, regulated personal data, or sensitive personal information unless we have agreed in writing
- Use the Service to collect, process, or store personal information from children under 16
- Attempt to gain unauthorized access to any part of the Service or its infrastructure
- Reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble any part of the Service
- Use automated bots or scrapers to interact with the Service without our written permission
- Interfere with the Service, bypass plan limits, or attempt to degrade availability for other users
- Resell or sublicense the Service without our written consent
- Impersonate another person or entity
5. Billing and Payments
Paid features are available on subscription plans described on our Pricing page. All payments are processed by Stripe, Inc.; by subscribing you also agree to Stripe’s Terms of Service. We do not store your full card details.
Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each billing period. You may cancel at any time from your account settings; cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period with no pro-rated refund for unused time, except where required by applicable law. We may change pricing with at least 30 days’ notice; continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance. If a payment fails, we will notify you and may suspend your account until payment is resolved. Prices do not include taxes unless stated otherwise, and you are responsible for taxes, duties, or similar charges that apply to your subscription.
6. Your Content and Data
You retain all ownership rights to files you upload or sync to the Service. By providing files, you grant us a limited, non-exclusive license to process and store those files solely to provide the Service to you. You represent that you have the right to share any files you submit and that doing so does not violate any third-party rights or applicable laws.
You are responsible for ensuring that your manifest files, repository metadata, and integration settings do not expose secrets, regulated personal data, or information you are not permitted to process through the Service. The Service is not a backup service; you should keep your own copies of any files or reports that are important to you.
Our collection and use of personal data is described in our Privacy Policy. If you submit personal data about other people, including team members or repository contributors, you are responsible for having the rights, notices, and permissions needed to do so.
7. Intellectual Property
The Service, including its interface, grading algorithms, and underlying technology, is owned by Guillermo Guerini and protected by intellectual property laws. Nothing in these Terms transfers ownership of the Service to you. You may not copy, reproduce, distribute, or create derivative works from any part of the Service without our written permission.
If you send us feedback, suggestions, or ideas, you grant us a perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free license to use them without obligation to you.
8. Disclaimer of Warranties
THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE.
8.1 No Security Assessment
THE SERVICE PROVIDES ALGORITHMIC GRADES BASED ON DEPENDENCY VERSION DATA AND AVAILABLE PACKAGE-HEALTH SIGNALS. IT IS NOT A SECURITY ASSESSMENT, VULNERABILITY ANALYSIS, PENETRATION TEST, OR SECURITY AUDIT. A HIGH GRADE DOES NOT MEAN A DEPENDENCY OR PROJECT IS FREE OF VULNERABILITIES. YOU ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR CONDUCTING APPROPRIATE SECURITY DUE DILIGENCE.
8.2 No Professional Advice
Nothing in the Service constitutes professional security advice, legal advice, or compliance guidance. Grades and reports are informational outputs of an automated system and should not be treated as recommendations by a qualified professional.
8.3 Data Accuracy
Version, registry, advisory, and deprecation data is retrieved from third-party package registries, vulnerability databases, and other public or third-party sources, and may be cached, delayed, inaccurate, or incomplete. We make no warranty that the data reflects the current state of any dependency, registry, advisory database, or repository at the time of your scan.
8.4 Third-Party Services
The Service depends on third-party platforms and providers, including version control platforms, package registries, payment processors, hosting providers, email delivery providers, analytics providers, and monitoring tools. We are not responsible for third-party services, APIs, downtime, data, or terms, even when the Service integrates with them.
9. Limitation of Liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, GUILLERMO GUERINI SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, GOODWILL, OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE TWELVE MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM, OR (B) $50.
WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, WE HAVE NO LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING FROM YOUR RELIANCE ON A GRADE OR SCORE AS A SUBSTITUTE FOR A SECURITY AUDIT OR PROFESSIONAL ASSESSMENT, OR FROM ANY INACCURACY OR DELAY IN REGISTRY DATA USED TO CALCULATE A GRADE.
You acknowledge that the pricing of the Service reflects this allocation of risk, and that we would not provide the Service without these limitations.
10. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Guillermo Guerini from any claims, liabilities, damages, or expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your use of the Service, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any third-party rights.
11. Termination
You may close your account at any time from your account settings. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your access for conduct that violates these Terms or is harmful to other users, third-party platforms, or the Service. We may also suspend access to protect the Service, investigate suspected abuse, comply with law, or respond to platform restrictions. For paid accounts, termination by us without cause will result in a pro-rated refund of prepaid fees for the unused portion of the current billing period. Termination for cause does not entitle you to a refund. Data deletion after account closure is handled as described in the Privacy Policy.
12. Modifications
We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be communicated via email at least 14 days before they take effect. Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
13. Governing Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, United States, without regard to conflict of law principles. For EEA and UK consumers, nothing in these Terms affects your statutory rights under applicable consumer protection law in your country of residence.
14. Entire Agreement
These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Service.
