GENERAL TERMS
Please read these terms of service (these “Terms”) carefully before using Probely as they form a contract between the person accepting these Terms (“you” or “your”) and Probe.ly – Soluções de Cibersegurança, S.A. (“Probely, S.A.”, “we”, “us”, or “our”), a private limited liability company incorporated in Portugal, with registered offices at Rua Alfredo Allen 455, 4200-135 Porto, under registration and tax number PT514413735.
These Terms govern your access and use of:
- the Web Application Vulnerability Scanner cloud based solution provided by us, or any subcontracted entity (the “Probely”);
- our websites or applications; and
- any written or electronic use or features guides or other documentation provided or made available by us (the “User Guides”) (collectively the “Service” or “Services”). The Terms also include compulsory pre-contractual information required by applicable law.
By registering on Probely or using any of the Services you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you are accepting these Terms or using the Services on behalf of an organization, you are agreeing to these Terms for that organization and representing to us that you have the authority to bind that organization to these Terms (in which event, “you” and “your” will refer to that organization) unless that organization has a separate paid contract in effect with us, in which event the terms of that contract will govern your use of the Service. You may use the Services only in compliance with these Terms and only if you have the power to form a contract with us and are not barred under any applicable laws from doing so. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS, YOU MUST NOT USE THE SERVICES. Should you have any questions concerning these Terms, please contact [email protected].
CHANGES TO THESE TERMS
We reserve the right to revise these Terms from time to time. We will date and post the most current version of these Terms on the Probely website - https://probely.com (the “Site”). Any changes will be effective on the date indicated at the top of the revised Terms.
If in our sole discretion we deem a revision to these Terms to be material, we will notify you via the Service and/or by email to the email address associated with your account. Your continued access or use of any portion of the Service constitutes your acceptance of such changes. If you object to such changes, you must cancel and stop using the Service by the effective date of such changes.
ACCESS TO THE SERVICE
You may use the Service, on a non-exclusive basis, solely in strict compliance with these Terms and all applicable laws.
We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to make necessary unscheduled deployments of changes, updates, or enhancements to the Service at any time. We may add or remove functionalities or features, and we may suspend or stop a Service altogether.
Probely’s site has been designed to operate on recent versions of most web browsers, namely Chrome and Firefox. Probely’s scanning service is intended for and has been designed to operate against any Web Application, as long as there’s connectivity between Probely’s servers and the server that hosts the Web Application being tested.
YOUR ACCOUNT
To obtain access to Probely you are required to obtain an account with us (become a “Registered User”), by completing a registration form and designating a user ID and password. Until you apply for an account your access to the Service will be limited to the areas of the Service, if any, that we make available to the general public. When registering on Probely you must: (a) provide true, accurate, current and complete information about yourself as requested by the Service’s registration form (such information being the “Registration Data”); and (b) maintain and promptly update the Registration Data to keep it true, accurate, current and complete. Please see our Privacy Policy that will also apply in this matter. We may cancel or delete, temporarily or permanently, your account at any time if you
- fail to comply with these Terms,
- assign your contractual position to a third party without our prior consent and/or
- act in such a way as to cause losses to us or other users. If it is necessary to deactivate your login, we will inform you by e-mail.
If a third party such as an employer created an account for you, that party has rights to your account and may manage and cancel your account. If you are an individual Registered User of the Service, and the domain of the primary email address associated with your account is owned by an organization and was assigned to you as an employee, contractor or member of such organization, and that organization wishes to establish a commercial relationship with us and add your account to such relationship, then, if you do not change the email address associated with your account, your account may become subject to the commercial relationship between us and such organization and controlled by such organization.
Only you may use your Probely account. You must keep your account and passwords confidential and not authorize any third party to access or use the Service on your behalf, unless we provide an approved mechanism for such use. We will never ask you to share your access details with other persons and we will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from any unauthorized use of your accounts. If you know or suspect that someone has access to your login and password, you must inform us immediately at [email protected].
You may request, at any time, the cancellation of your account on the Site. However, with the exception of the situations specifically foreseen in applicable law and these Terms, cancellation does not confer any right to reimbursement of amounts already paid for the use of the Service.
YOUR TARGETS
When you add a target on Probely, you are asked to enter the base URL of the target.
A target is a Web Application, Website or API you wish to scan. The target defines the scope of the scan. The scanner will never leave the target’s scope, i.e., it will never scan any page that is not prefixed with the target’s base URL.
You can choose to have more than one target with the same URL or base URL, should you wish to have different scanning settings or organize your security testing that way. For illustrative purposes, the following URLs could represent 4 different targets: https://app1.example.com, https://example.com/app1, https://example.com/app2, https://example.com.
CONTRACTING THE SERVICE
Probely offers free and paid Service plans, according to our pricing page available at https://probely.com/pricing.
Unless otherwise stipulated by us, the use of the paid Service is dependent on the up-front payment of the Fee established in our pricing page. The Fee is determined in accordance with the number of sites to be scanned and the subscription term, which may be monthly or annual, and/or the number and duration of scans (credits). Payment obligations are non-cancelable, fees paid are non-refundable, and quantities purchased cannot be decreased during the relevant subscription term.
Subscriptions shall be automatically renewed for additional periods of the same duration as the inital Subscription term.
The price list does not include VAT at the applicable legal rate. VAT will be included in the invoice if applicable.
The amount due may be paid by credit card (e.g., Visa, American Express, MasterCard) or bank transfer following the receipt of our invoice. Bank transfers are only available for annual subscriptions.
The invoice for the Service will be issued electronically with the information you provide us and sent to the e-mail address that you indicate. We assure you that the invoice guarantees the authenticity of its origin, the integrity of its content, and its legibility.
Once payment has been confirmed, you will receive an e-mail confirming the payment and the commencement of the Service.
SCAN CREDITS

- Free monthly credits can only be used within a month.
- You can buy additional credits for a fee. Purchased credits expire 12 months after last accrual.
- Each time you scan a target that uses credits, you will consume 1 credit per hour of scan, up to a maximum of 5 credits per scans, unless stated otherwise.
- If a scan is canceled by you after 30 minutes of execution, it will be considered for credit consumption. Scans that are cancelled within the first 30 minutes of execution may or may not consume credits.
SUSPENSION AND TERMINATION OF USE OF THE SERVICE
We reserve the right to temporarily suspend or terminate your access to the Service at any time in our sole discretion, with or without notice, and without incurring liability of any kind, for any one or more of the following reasons: (a) the actual or suspected violation of these Terms; (b) the use of the Services in a manner that may cause us to have legal liability or may disrupt others’ use of the Services; (c) the detection of suspicious behavior in your account; (d) scheduled downtime and recurring downtime; (e) use of excessive storage capacity or bandwidth; or (f) unplanned technical problems and outages or other emergency situation, as determined in our discretion.

SERVICE LEVEL TERMS
Probely’s SaaS offer shall use reasonable endeavours to ensure that the service is always available. Probely includes a guaranteed availability of 99%, and the Enterprise Plan a guaranteed availability of 99.9%, calculated on a 90-day period, excluding holidays and weekends and scheduled maintenance. If Customer requests maintenance during these hours, any uptime or downtime calculation will exclude periods affected by such maintenance. Further, any downtime resulting from outages of third party connections or utilities or other reasons beyond Company’s control will also be excluded from any such calculation.
If Probely fails to meet the guaranteed availability, Customer will be eligible for a credit of 5% of one month of the subscription fee paid to Probely. Downtime shall begin to accrue as soon as Customer (with notice to Company) recognizes that downtime is taking place, and continues until the availability of the Services is restored. In order to receive downtime credit, Customer must notify Company in writing within 24 hours from the time of downtime, and failure to provide such notice will forfeit the right to receive downtime credit. Service Level Credits shall be Customer’s sole and exclusive remedy in the event of any failure to meet the guaranteed availability. Such Credits will be applied to the next invoice following Customer’s request and Company’s confirmation that credits are applicable. In no event will Service Level Credits in any given year exceed 10.0% of the total annual Subscription Fees paid to the Company. If availability is less than 99% for two (2) months or more, Customer may terminate this Agreement at its discretion.
Company’s blocking of data communications or other Service in accordance with its policies shall not be deemed to be a failure of Company to provide adequate service levels under this Agreement.

Definition of Confidential Information. “Confidential Information” means all information disclosed by a party (“Disclosing Party”) to the other party (“Receiving Party”), including information provided orally, that is likely to be confidential given the nature of the information and the circumstances of disclosure. Probely, S.A.’s Confidential Information includes the Services and Confidential Information of each party, includes business and marketing plans, technology and technical information, product plans and designs, and business processes disclosed by such party.

is received from a third party without breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party, or (iv) was independently developed by the Receiving Party.
Protection of Confidential Information. The Receiving Party will use the same degree of care that it uses to protect the confidentiality of its own confidential information of like kind (but not less than reasonable care)
not to use any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party for any purpose outside the scope of these Terms, and
except as otherwise authorized by the Disclosing Party in writing, disclose Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party only to those of its and its affiliates’ employees and contractors who need that access for purposes consistent with these Terms and who have signed confidentiality agreements with the Receiving Party containing protections no less stringent than those herein.
Compelled Disclosure. The Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to the extent compelled by law or by the order of a court or similar judicial or administrative body to do so, provided the Receiving Party gives the Disclosing Party prior notice of the compelled disclosure (to the extent legally permitted) and reasonable assistance, at the Disclosing Party’s cost, if the Disclosing Party wishes to contest the disclosure. If the Receiving Party is compelled by law to disclose the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information as part of a civil proceeding to which the Disclosing Party is a party, and the Disclosing Party is not contesting the disclosure, the Disclosing Party will reimburse the Receiving Party for its reasonable cost of compiling and providing secure access to that Confidential Information.
