Terms of Service

The terms that apply when you access or use HiveScan and its services.

Effective September 15, 2026

TERMS OF SERVICE

Effective Date: September 15, 2026

HiveScan™ is a product of HiveWorks AI.

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of HiveScan, including our website scanning services, HiveReport™, website, and related services. By accessing or using HiveScan, you agree to these Terms.

If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use HiveScan.

1. HiveScan Services

HiveScan provides website intelligence designed to help users better understand publicly observable aspects of a website, identify areas that may deserve attention, and determine potential next steps.

HiveScan may provide a free website scan as well as paid products or services, including the Full HiveReport™.

Features, functionality, pricing, and availability may change as HiveScan develops.

2. Website Scans

When you submit a website URL to HiveScan, you request that HiveScan access and analyze publicly available information associated with that website.

HiveScan is intended to analyze publicly accessible websites.

You may only submit websites that you own, manage, are authorized to analyze, or are otherwise legally permitted to submit for analysis.

You may not use HiveScan to attempt to access private, password-protected, internal, restricted, or unauthorized systems or information.

3. Acceptable Use

You agree not to use HiveScan to:

  • Violate applicable laws or regulations
  • Access systems or information without authorization
  • Attempt to bypass authentication or security controls
  • Probe or target private or internal networks
  • Introduce malicious code or harmful content
  • Interfere with or disrupt HiveScan or its infrastructure
  • Abuse, overload, scrape, reverse engineer, or misuse the service
  • Use automated systems to access HiveScan in a manner that creates unreasonable load or interferes with normal operation
  • Attempt to circumvent technical safeguards, usage restrictions, or security measures
  • Use HiveScan to harm, harass, deceive, defraud, or violate the rights of another person or organization

We may restrict or discontinue access when we reasonably believe HiveScan is being misused or used in a manner that threatens the service, our systems, or others.

4. Website Intelligence and HiveScore™

HiveScan analyzes observable website information and signals to produce website intelligence, which may include scores, findings, opportunities, recommendations, and other analysis.

HiveScan results represent an analysis based on the information available to the system at the time of the scan.

Websites and online technologies change frequently. Results may therefore change over time and may not reflect changes made after a scan is completed.

HiveScan does not guarantee that every website issue, opportunity, technical condition, or business factor will be identified.

5. No Guarantee of Business Results

HiveScan provides informational website analysis and recommendations.

HiveScan does not guarantee:

  • Search-engine rankings
  • Increased website traffic
  • Increased leads or conversions
  • Increased sales or revenue
  • Specific business outcomes
  • Acceptance or ranking by any search engine, platform, or third-party service

Decisions about whether and how to implement recommendations remain the responsibility of the user.

6. Free Website Scan

HiveScan may provide an initial website scan at no charge.

The free scan is intended to provide an initial view of where a website stands and areas that may deserve attention.

The scope and features of the free scan may differ from those included in a paid HiveReport™.

7. Full HiveReport™

HiveScan may offer a Full HiveReport™ containing additional findings, analysis, prioritized opportunities, recommendations, or next steps.

The current advertised price for a Full HiveReport™ may be displayed on the HiveScan website at the time of purchase.

A purchase of a HiveReport™ is a one-time purchase unless explicitly stated otherwise at checkout.

Purchasing a HiveReport™ does not create a recurring subscription unless the user expressly agrees to a separate subscription offering.

8. Payments

Payments may be processed through a third-party payment provider.

By making a purchase, you agree to provide accurate payment and transaction information and authorize the applicable payment provider to process the transaction.

Third-party payment services may be subject to their own terms and privacy policies.

HiveWorks AI does not need to receive or store complete payment-card information when payment information is handled directly by the applicable payment provider.

9. Refunds

Because a HiveReport™ is a customized digital product generated for a submitted website, purchases are generally final once the purchased report has been generated or delivered.

We may provide a refund or other appropriate resolution when required by applicable law, in the event of a verified duplicate charge, or when a technical failure prevents HiveScan from providing the purchased report.

If you believe there is a problem with a purchase, contact us through the Contact page on the HiveScan website.

10. Intellectual Property

HiveScan, HiveReport™, HiveScore™, HiveWorks AI, associated branding, website design, software, report formats, content, and other materials provided by us are owned by or licensed to HiveWorks AI and may be protected by intellectual-property laws.

Your use of HiveScan does not transfer ownership of our intellectual property to you.

You may use a HiveReport™ you purchase for your own legitimate personal or business purposes.

You may not reproduce, resell, republish, distribute, or commercially exploit HiveScan's proprietary software, scoring systems, report formats, branding, or other protected materials except with our permission or as otherwise permitted by law.

11. Your Website and Content

You retain any rights you may have in websites, content, trademarks, or other materials that you submit or make available for analysis.

Submitting a website to HiveScan does not transfer ownership of that website or its content to HiveWorks AI.

You grant us permission to access and process publicly available information from a submitted website as reasonably necessary to provide the requested HiveScan service.

12. Third-Party Services and Websites

HiveScan may rely on or interact with third-party infrastructure, payment providers, hosting services, websites, or technologies.

We are not responsible for third-party websites, services, content, availability, security, or privacy practices.

Use of third-party services may be subject to their own terms and policies.

13. Service Availability

We work to keep HiveScan available and reliable, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation.

Scans may occasionally fail or be unavailable because of website restrictions, network conditions, third-party systems, maintenance, security protections, technical problems, or other circumstances.

We may modify, suspend, restrict, or discontinue portions of HiveScan when reasonably necessary.

14. Disclaimer

To the extent permitted by applicable law, HiveScan and its services are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis.

Website analysis involves technical and interpretive factors, and results should not be treated as a substitute for professional legal, financial, security, or other specialized advice.

You are responsible for evaluating recommendations and deciding whether they are appropriate for your website or business.

15. Limitation of Liability

To the extent permitted by applicable law, HiveWorks AI will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages arising from or related to your use of, or inability to use, HiveScan.

HiveWorks AI is not responsible for business decisions, website changes, lost revenue, lost profits, lost opportunities, search rankings, or other outcomes resulting from actions taken based on HiveScan information or recommendations.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot legally be excluded or limited.

16. Changes to the Service or Terms

HiveScan will continue to develop over time.

We may update these Terms to reflect changes to the service, our business practices, legal requirements, or other circumstances.

When material changes are made, we will update the effective date shown at the top of these Terms and provide additional notice when appropriate.

Your continued use of HiveScan after updated Terms become effective constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms to the extent permitted by applicable law.

17. Contact

If you have questions about these Terms, a HiveReport™, or a purchase, please contact HiveWorks AI through the Contact page on the HiveScan website.
