Terms & Conditions

Acceptance of terms

By accessing or using the Tessen Security public website, you agree to these Terms & Conditions. If you do not agree with them, do not use the website. These terms apply to website use and do not replace terms agreed for professional services.

About Tessen Security

Tessen Security provides cybersecurity and offensive-security services, including penetration testing as a service, vulnerability triage, and security and compliance validation. The website provides general information about those services and related security content.

Website purpose

The website is provided for general informational and commercial communication. Website content is not an engagement-specific assessment, legal advice, or a substitute for a security review performed under an agreed scope.

No security engagement is created

Submitting a contact request, subscribing to a newsletter if one is made available, receiving website information, or exchanging preliminary communications does not itself create a penetration-testing engagement, authorization to conduct security testing, a client relationship, or a professional services agreement.

A cybersecurity engagement begins only through a separately agreed proposal, contract, statement of work, authorization, rules of engagement, or other appropriate written agreement.

Authorized security testing

All penetration testing, vulnerability assessment, offensive-security work, and similar activity must occur only within an expressly authorized scope and under the applicable engagement terms. Nothing published on this website grants permission to scan, probe, exploit, test, or interfere with Tessen Security, its customers, third parties, or any system.

Permitted website use

You may use the website lawfully for legitimate informational and business purposes. You must comply with applicable law, respect third-party rights, and avoid conduct that could damage the website or interfere with another person’s use of it.

Prohibited use

You must not use the website to:

• Attempt unauthorized access to the website, its infrastructure, accounts, or connected systems.
• Disrupt, overload, damage, or interfere with website operation or availability.
• Distribute malware or other harmful code, or use forms and communications to abuse or harass others.
• Scrape or collect content in a way that materially interferes with the website or violates third-party rights.
• Impersonate a person or organization, misrepresent an affiliation, or submit knowingly false information.
• Bypass technical protections or use the website for unlawful purposes.

Intellectual property

The Tessen Security name and branding, website design, written content, graphics, research, and original materials are owned by Tessen Security or used with permission, unless a different owner is identified. You may view and share ordinary links to public content for lawful purposes, but you may not reproduce, modify, distribute, or commercially exploit protected material without permission.

Third-party names, logos, and marks remain the property of their respective owners. Nothing in these terms transfers rights in third-party or open-source material.

Security research and educational content

Security-related articles, research, and educational content are provided for legitimate defensive, educational, and authorized-security purposes. They do not authorize access to, scanning of, testing of, exploitation of, or interference with any third-party system. Any testing must be separately authorized by the relevant owner and governed by an applicable scope.

Third-party links

The website may link to websites or services operated by third parties. Tessen Security does not control those sites and is not responsible for their availability, content, terms, or privacy practices. Visiting them is your responsibility.

Website availability

The website may be changed, suspended, restricted, or unavailable from time to time for maintenance, security, operational, or other reasons. No uptime commitment or service-level agreement is created by these terms.

Information accuracy

Tessen Security aims to provide useful and accurate website information, but content may change and may contain errors or omissions. Website content should not be treated as a substitute for an engagement-specific assessment or professional advice tailored to your environment.

No warranties

To the extent permitted by applicable law, the website and its content are provided without warranties that the website will always be available, complete, current, or free from errors or harmful components. Separately executed agreements govern any warranties or commitments applicable to professional services.

Limitation of liability

To the extent permitted by applicable law, Tessen Security will not be responsible for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive loss arising from or related to access to or use of the public website. Nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limits rights that cannot lawfully be limited.

Any liability and remedies relating to professional cybersecurity services are governed by the applicable executed agreement. If these website terms conflict with that agreement regarding an engagement, the executed agreement controls.

Indemnity

To the extent permitted by applicable law, you are responsible for losses and claims arising from your unlawful use of the website, your violation of these terms, or your infringement of another person’s rights. This provision does not require indemnity where applicable law does not permit it.

Privacy

Information handled through the website is described in the Privacy Policy. The Cookie Policy explains the browser storage and similar technologies identified in the current application.

Changes to these terms

These terms may be updated when the website or its use changes. The Last updated date identifies the current version. Your continued use of the website after an update means you accept the updated website terms.

Governing terms for client services

Professional cybersecurity services are governed by the applicable proposal, master services agreement, statement of work, rules of engagement, authorization documents, or other executed agreement. If those documents conflict with these public website terms regarding the engagement, the executed agreement controls.

No governing law, court, or jurisdiction is stated here because the current website and application do not verify a legal entity jurisdiction. Engagement-specific governing law will be determined by the applicable executed agreement.
