Terms of Service

These terms are an agreement between you and ForgedLuxe LLC, a Florida company ("we"), for the PatchAlert app and this website (the "service"). By using the service you agree to them.

1. The service

PatchAlert alerts you when a product you pick appears in the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog, and helps you track patching. It is an informational service. During early access all features are free. You must be at least 18 years old, or the age of majority where you live if that is older, to use it.

2. Your license, and our ownership

We give you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to install and use the app and to use this website, for your own work, under these terms. We and our licensors own the service, including the app, its code, design, text, and the PatchAlert name and logo. These terms do not give you any ownership of the service. Do not copy, sell, resell, or redistribute the app, or reverse engineer it except where the law allows that despite this term. Catalog data comes from CISA and is not ours.

3. Third-party services

The service depends on services we do not control: Google Play (to install the app), Google Firebase (accounts, storage, server functions, and push notifications), Anthropic (AI summaries), Vercel (this website), and the CISA catalog. Your use of Google Play is also covered by Google's own terms. These services can change, fail, or be unavailable, and when they do the service may not work, alerts may be late or missing, and data may be unavailable. We are not responsible for them.

4. Provided as is, with no warranty

The service is provided "as is" and "as available". To the fullest extent the law allows, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, and non-infringement.

Some jurisdictions do not allow these disclaimers, so some of them may not apply to you.

5. No promise of completeness, timeliness, or delivery

We do not promise that the service covers every vulnerability, that catalog data is complete, current, or correct, that matching finds every product you run, or that any alert is delivered or delivered on time. Push notifications depend on your device, its settings, and third-party services. The catalog is published by CISA; we are not affiliated with or endorsed by CISA.

6. Your responsibility

You are responsible for your own systems and your own patching and security decisions. Use the service as one source among others, and follow your vendors' advisories. Outcomes in the app (patched, mitigated, not affected, deferred) are what you record; the service does not check them. AI-generated summaries can be wrong; the original catalog text is always available.

7. Acceptable use

Do not misuse the service: no attempts to access other people's data, to interfere with or overload the service, or to get around its limits or security measures. We may suspend or end access for misuse.

8. Feedback

If you send us ideas or suggestions about the service, we may use them without paying you or owing you anything. You do not have to send any.

9. Names and trademarks

Vendor and product names belong to their owners and are used only to identify products. Their use does not mean any vendor endorses PatchAlert.

10. If your misuse causes a claim against us

If someone makes a claim against us because you misused the service or broke these terms or the law while using it, you agree to cover our reasonable losses and costs from that claim, including reasonable legal fees. This does not apply to the extent the claim was caused by our own fault.

11. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, data, or business, arising from the service, including from a missed, late, or wrong alert. Our total liability for any claim about the service is limited to the greater of the amount you paid us for the service in the 12 months before the claim or US $50.

Some jurisdictions do not allow these limits or exclusions, so some of them may not apply to you.

12. Ending use

You can stop using the service at any time and delete your data in Settings. Accounts not opened for 24 months are deleted automatically (see the Privacy Policy). We may change or stop the service, and we may end your license if you break these terms.

13. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to its conflict of laws rules. Any dispute will be resolved in the state or federal courts located in Florida, and you and we consent to their jurisdiction.

14. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms. We will change the date above and post the new version here. Using the service after a change means you accept the new terms.

15. General

• Severability: if a court finds part of these terms unenforceable, that part is limited as little as needed and the rest stays in effect.
• No waiver: if we do not enforce a term right away, we can still enforce it later.
• Entire agreement: these terms and the Privacy Policy are the whole agreement between you and us about the service, and replace any earlier ones.
• Assignment: you may not transfer your rights under these terms. We may transfer ours, for example if the service or our company is sold or reorganized.

16. What continues after you stop

If you stop using the service or your access ends, sections 2 (our ownership), 4, 5, 6, 10, 11, 13, 15, and this section still apply.
