Legal
Last updated: March 22, 2026
These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your access to and use of Repo Watch ("the Service"), operated by Repo Watch ("we", "us", "our"). 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.
Repo Watch provides automated static repository risk scanning and reporting. The Service analyses repository metadata, source code structure, dependency information, and CI/coverage configuration using static analysis tools. Results include directional heuristic signals across security hygiene, code quality, test confidence, and AI-risk indicators. All analysis is static — repository code is never executed.
You must be at least 16 years of age to use the Service. By using Repo Watch, you represent that you meet this requirement and have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms. If you are using the Service on behalf of an organisation, you represent that you have authority to bind that organisation to these Terms.
You authenticate via a third-party provider (e.g. GitHub or GitLab). You are responsible for maintaining the security of your provider account and for all activity that occurs under your Repo Watch account. You must notify us promptly at hello@repowatch.io if you become aware of any unauthorised use of your account.
You agree that you will:
We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these rules without prior notice.
You retain ownership of all repositories and archives you submit for scanning. By using the Service, you grant us a limited, non-exclusive licence to process your content solely for the purpose of performing scans and generating results. Uploaded archives are processed in isolated environments and deleted after scan completion. We store only derived metadata, findings, and score breakdowns — not your source code.
The Service, including its scoring models, analysis pipelines, user interface, and documentation, is owned by Repo Watch and protected by intellectual property laws. You may not copy, modify, or distribute any part of the Service except as expressly permitted by these Terms. Scan results generated for your repositories are yours to use, share, and export as permitted by your subscription plan.
The Service offers free and paid subscription tiers. Paid features are controlled by subscription entitlements. All prices are listed in New Zealand Dollars (NZD) unless otherwise stated.
We process your data as described in our Privacy Policy. Key points:
The Service integrates with third-party providers including GitHub, GitLab, and Stripe. Your use of these providers is subject to their respective terms and privacy policies. We are not responsible for the availability, security, or practices of third-party services.
We may update, modify, or discontinue features of the Service at any time. We aim to provide reasonable notice for material changes. The Service is provided on a commercially reasonable efforts basis — we do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation.
The Service is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. Repo Watch does not warrant that scan results are complete, accurate, or free from false positives or false negatives. Findings are directional heuristics and should be reviewed as part of your broader security and quality processes.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Repo Watch shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including but not limited to loss of profits, data, business opportunities, or goodwill, arising from your use of or inability to use the Service. Our total aggregate liability for any claims arising under these Terms shall not exceed the amount you paid to us in the twelve (12) months preceding the claim. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited under New Zealand law.
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Repo Watch and its affiliates, officers, and employees from any claims, damages, losses, or expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your use of the Service, your violation of these Terms, or your infringement of any third-party rights.
You may stop using the Service and close your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access if you breach these Terms or engage in conduct that is harmful to other users or the Service.
Upon termination, your right to use the Service ceases immediately. We may retain anonymised, aggregated data for operational analytics. Data subject to your plan's retention policy will be deleted according to the applicable schedule.
These Terms are governed by the laws of New Zealand. Any disputes arising from or relating to these Terms or the Service shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of New Zealand. Nothing in these Terms affects your rights under the New Zealand Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 or the Fair Trading Act 1986 where applicable.
We may revise these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be communicated by updating the date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, by email notification. Continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
