Welcome to derivee.io. By accessing our website, engaging our services, or interacting with our security professionals, you agree to comply with and be bound by the following Terms of Service. Please read these terms carefully before you hire a hacker or commission any security assessments through our platform.
1. Acceptance of Agreement
This Terms of Service agreement (“Agreement”) is between you (“Client,” “User,” or “You”) and derivee.io (“Company,” “We,” “Us,” or “Our”). By utilizing our website or signing a Statement of Work (SOW) for ethical hacking services, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to be bound by these terms. If you do not agree, you must refrain from using our services immediately.
2. Scope of Ethical Hacking Services
derivee.io provides professional cybersecurity services, including but not limited to vulnerability assessments, penetration testing, source code review, and security consulting.
All services performed by derivee.io are strictly authorized security tests. We do not engage in malicious cyber activity, unauthorized access, or digital espionage. When clients look to hire a hacker through derivee.io, they are contracting certified security researchers who operate with explicit, written authorization to identify and remediate security flaws.
“In the realm of cybersecurity, the only difference between an attacker and a defender is permission. At derivee.io, authorization is our foundation, and transparency is our code.” — Lead Security Architect, derivee.io
3. Client Representations and Warranties
Before derivee.io initiates any testing or security evaluation, the Client must legally warrant the following:
- Ownership and Authority: You are the absolute owner of the target systems, networks, applications, and data, or you have received explicit, written legal authorization from the rightful owner to commission the assessment.
- Compliance with Laws: Your request for services complies with all applicable local, national, and international laws regarding cybersecurity and data privacy.
- No Malicious Intent: You are not engaging derivee.io to conduct unauthorized surveillance, disrupt critical infrastructure, or cause intentional harm to third parties.
Summary of Engagement Rules
| Phase | Client Responsibility | derivee.io Responsibility |
|---|---|---|
| Pre-Engagement | Provide explicit written authorization and scope boundaries. | Verify ownership and define clear Rules of Engagement (RoE). |
| Execution | Notify relevant internal stakeholders of the testing window. | Conduct ethical hacking methodologies safely within agreed parameters. |
| Post-Engagement | Review vulnerability reports and apply recommended patches. | Deliver a comprehensive risk assessment and debriefing. |
4. Limitation of Liability
Cybersecurity testing inherently involves probing complex systems, which can occasionally lead to unintended consequences such as service degradation or system instability.
derivee.io employs industry-standard precautions to prevent disruption. However, to the maximum extent permitted by law, derivee.io shall not be held liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages—including loss of data, revenue, or business interruption—arising out of or in connection with our services.
“Security testing pushes systems to their limits. While our protocols are designed to minimize risk, exploring the unknown always carries a calculated variable. Partnership requires mutual trust and realistic boundaries.” — Operations Director, derivee.io
5. Confidentiality and Data Protection
Both parties agree to maintain strict confidentiality regarding all sensitive information, findings, credentials, and vulnerability reports exchanged during the engagement.
- Client Data: derivee.io will never sell, leak, or improperly disclose Client data or proprietary source code.

- Invoicing: Payments are due within the timeframe specified in the SOW. Late payments may result in the suspension of ongoing services or delivery of final reports.
