Terms of Service

By creating an account or using Mephit(the “Service”), you agree to these Terms of Service (the “Terms”), our Privacy Policy, our Acceptable Use Policy, and the Disclaimer. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

You must be at least 18 years old and have the legal capacity to enter into a binding contract. If you use the Service on behalf of an organization, you represent that you are authorized to bind that organization.

Mephit is an open-source-intelligence (OSINT) and security research assistant. It aggregates and queries publicly available data from third-party sources (search engines, certificate logs, threat-intel feeds, breach databases, internet-wide scanners, etc.) and uses large language models to summarize the results.

Mephit does not:

• Hack, intrude, or exploit any system on your behalf.
• Generate, host, or transmit malware or weapons.
• Bypass authentication, paywalls, or access controls.
• Provide legal, financial, medical, or professional advice.

The Service is provided as-is for research, education, security auditing of systems you own or are authorized to test, and lawful investigative work.

You are responsible for the credentials you use to access Mephit and for every action taken under your account, whether by you, someone you authorized, or someone who obtained your credentials through your negligence. Notify us immediately at [email protected] if you suspect compromise.

One human, one account. You may not resell, sublicense, time-share, rent, or otherwise transfer access. Use of multiple accounts to bypass plan limits, free-tier allowances, or rate limits is prohibited and grounds for termination of every related account.

Access to Mephit is a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license — not a sale, not a property right, and not a guarantee of continued availability. We may revoke this license at any time, for any reason or no reason, at our sole discretion.

A complete list lives in our Acceptable Use Policy. In short: don’t use Mephitto harm, harass, defraud, or unlawfully surveil anyone, and don’t target any system you don’t own or have written authorization to assess.

We reserve the right, at our sole and absolute discretion, to immediately and without notice suspend, restrict, rate-limit, throttle, or terminate any account, forfeit any unused credits, and decline future service to any person or entity, for any conduct we judge — in our sole judgement — to be abusive, fraudulent, automated, suspicious, in breach of these Terms, in breach of the Acceptable Use Policy, harmful to other users, harmful to upstream providers, or otherwise contrary to the interests of Mephit.

We are not required to provide a reason, a warning, an appeals process, or a refund. We may cooperate with law-enforcement and civil-process requests where legally compelled, and may share account and usage data with upstream providers (Anthropic, threat-intel partners) when required by their terms.

Mephit meters usage in credits. Each chat message and each tool call (recon scan, threat-intel lookup, etc.) deducts a credit amount as published in your dashboard at the moment of consumption.

Credits are an internal accounting unit only. They are not currency, not legal tender, not securities, not a stored value instrument, have no cash or cryptocurrency value, are not redeemable, not transferable between accounts, and confer no ownership, equity, or property right of any kind. Subscription credits reset at the start of each 30-day billing period and do not roll over. Top-up credits expire 12 months after issuance. Promotional or trial credits expire on shorter timelines stated at issuance.

Paid plans are billed in advance through NOWPayments, our crypto-payment processor. By subscribing you also agree to NOWPayments’ terms.

Crypto payments are final and non-refundable once confirmed on-chain, except where required by mandatory law. By purchasing credits or activating a subscription you expressly consent to the immediate provision of digital content and, where applicable (including under EU/EEA consumer law), waive any statutory right of withdrawal as soon as any credit from that purchase is consumed. If a payment confirms but credits fail to provision within 24 hours, contact [email protected] for resolution.

We may change the credit cost of any model, tool, skill, or feature at any time, without prior notice and at our sole discretion. The credit cost shown in your dashboard immediately before you confirm an action is the price for that action; past actions are unaffected. We may also adjust subscription prices, tier credit allotments, concurrency limits, fair-use thresholds, and feature scope. For paid subscribers, increases to the recurring subscription price take effect at the start of the next billing period after we publish notice on this page or in the Service; you may cancel before that date to avoid the increase. Promotional pricing (including launch discounts) is time-limited and reverts to standard pricing at our discretion.

Pricing reflects current third-party AI provider and data-source rates. If our upstream costs increase materially — for example, a provider raising token prices, deprecating a cheap model alias, or imposing new fees — we may adjust credit costs and subscription prices accordingly to maintain the Service.

Mephit uses third-party language models to summarize and reason about data. AI output can be incorrect, incomplete, outdated, biased, or fabricated (commonly called “hallucinations”). You are solely responsible for independently verifying any output before relying on it for decisions, reporting, operational use, publication, or any other purpose.

Everything you do through Mephit is at your own risk and on your own responsibility. This includes, without limitation: the queries you submit, the targets you investigate, the conclusions you draw, the reports you generate, the actions you take based on output, the commands you run on your own infrastructure, and any disclosure or distribution of results.Mephit is a research aid; you are the operator and the decision maker.

You confirm that you have lawful authority to investigate any target you query (e.g., you own it, you have written authorization, or the data is genuinely public and your use is lawful in your jurisdiction). We do not, and cannot, verify your authority. Any consequence — civil, criminal, regulatory, contractual, or reputational — arising from your use of Mephit is yours alone.

We do not warrant that output is accurate, current, complete, or fit for any particular purpose, and we disclaim all liability arising from your reliance on it (see Sections 9 and 10).

The Service queries third-party APIs and datasets. Their availability, accuracy, latency, and terms are outside our control. The data those sources return remains the property and responsibility of those providers.

We may add, modify, replace, deprecate, throttle, restrict, or remove any model tier, tool, skill, integration, data source, or feature at any time, without prior notice and for any reason — including reasons beyond our reasonable control, such as an upstream provider deprecating a model, changing pricing, withdrawing a dataset, or imposing new restrictions. Where a model alias becomes unavailable we may substitute it with a comparable alternative. No refund or compensation is owed for changed, substituted, throttled, or removed features, and credits already consumed against a now-removed feature are not restored.

Mephit, its branding, code, and UI are owned by us. You receive a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the Service for the purposes permitted by these Terms.

You retain ownership of the queries you submit and the conversations you create. You grant us a worldwide license to process them solely to operate, secure, and improve the Service.

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, OR UNINTERRUPTED OPERATION.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, MEPHIT, ITS OPERATORS, AND ITS AFFILIATES WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, OR GOODWILL, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE.

OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM RELATED TO THE SERVICE IS CAPPED AT THE GREATER OF (a) USD $50 OR (b) the amount you paid us in the 3 months preceding the event giving rise to the claim.

You agree to defend and indemnify Mephit, its operators, and affiliates against any claim, loss, or expense (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your use of the Service, your content, or your violation of these Terms or applicable law.

You may stop using the Service at any time by cancelling your subscription and discontinuing access. Cancellation stops future renewals; it does not refund the current billing period and does not restore credits already consumed.

We may suspend, restrict, rate-limit, throttle, or terminate your account at any time, with or without cause, with or without prior notice, at our sole and absolute discretion. Grounds may include — but are not limited to — breach of these Terms or the Acceptable Use Policy, non-payment, fraud, chargebacks, fingerprint-spoofing, multi-account abuse, automated or bot-like usage, behaviour materially exceeding normal human use, requests from upstream providers or law enforcement, regulatory or legal risk, prolonged inactivity, or our own business judgement.

On suspension or termination: (a) your license to use the Service ends immediately; (b) any unused credits, including paid credits, are forfeited without refund; (c) we may delete conversations, projects, and account data after a reasonable retention window; (d) any obligations you owe us survive. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (license, intellectual property, payment, warranty disclaimers, liability limits, indemnification, governing law, dispute resolution) will survive.

These Terms are governed by applicable law, excluding conflict-of-laws rules. Disputes will be resolved in a competent court, except where mandatory consumer-protection laws of your jurisdiction apply.

We may update these Terms at any time. Non-material changes (clarifications, typo fixes, new feature descriptions, contact updates) take effect immediately upon posting. Material changes affecting paid users (subscription price increases, refund policy, dispute-resolution venue) will be announced on this page and, where we have your verified email, by email; continued use of the Service after the effective date — or, for paid subscribers, at the next renewal — constitutes acceptance. If you do not accept a change, your only remedy is to stop using the Service and, where applicable, cancel your subscription before the change takes effect. Per-action credit costs and feature scope may be modified under Section 5 and Section 7 without separate notice.
