1.Authority and third-party permission
You must own the proposed systems or hold express authority from their owner. Employment alone does not confer authority to approve testing. Cloud platforms, hosting providers, suppliers and other third-party assets require the relevant permissions. We may request evidence and decline or suspend services if authority cannot be verified.
2.Written testing scope
Before testing, authorized representatives of both parties must sign a service agreement and testing authorization covering domains, IPs, applications and environments, permitted methods and exclusions, testing windows, source addresses, third-party permissions, emergency contacts and stop conditions. Unlisted assets and activities are excluded. Refusal, withdrawal or changes to authorization require the affected testing to pause pending written confirmation.
3.Testing risks and preparation
Even agreed testing can trigger alerts, reduced performance, service interruption or unexpected data changes. Clients should prepare backups and recovery, coordinate with relevant parties and supply accurate asset and authorization information. If you do not accept testing risks, you may discuss advisory needs without requesting tests.
4.Responsibilities and limits of liability
Clients are responsible for the accuracy and lawfulness of the authority, asset ownership and information they provide. Losses or claims arising from false authorization, missing third-party permission or a client breach are addressed under applicable law and the agreement. Risk allocation, recoverable losses and liability limits must be separately agreed in the formal contract, to the extent permitted by law. This notice does not exclude liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or permit unlawful, unauthorized or out-of-scope activity. Testing cannot guarantee discovery of every vulnerability or absolute security.
5.Information use and confidentiality
Company, contact person and contact details are used to discuss this request and retain request confirmation records. A configured external form provider also receives the submission. Do not submit passwords, keys or vulnerability details. Before testing, both parties must separately agree confidentiality, data access, retention, deletion and incident handling requirements.
