By using, accessing, or visiting Cyver or any of its affiliated web properties or services, you agree to the terms of service stipulated below. By signing in, creating an account, registering, or requesting services, you agree to comply with and be legally bound by the terms defined below, regardless of whether you go on to become a registered user. These terms govern your access to and use of Cyver and all its properties, services, and content. These terms constitute a binding legal agreement between you and Cyver (Cyver BV). If you do not agree with these terms, you have no legal right to access or obtain information or services from Cyver or its properties. These terms are legally binding whether you review them or not. 

Scope of the General Terms and Conditions 

This Terms and Conditions (“Terms”, “Conditions”) outlines the general terms of service for Cyver (“Cyver ”, “We”, “Us”, “Our”) by which customers, visitors, clients, etc. (“user”, “you”, “your”) are legally bound when accessing, using, or implementing Cyver or its properties in any way. Supplemental terms will be provided via an Order (“Contract”) to customers wishing to purchase a service, and mutually agreed upon to cover pricing, additional terms of service, and terms specific to the user. 

Cyver provides data security and compliance services, colloquially known as “Pentesting” “Penetration Testing”, delivered via an online cloud portal (“Web Property”) and conducted at the discretion and explicit request of the user. Cyver also provides access to digital services, automated services, and reporting. These are collectively referred to as “Services” throughout this Terms and Conditions, via our website, web application, and other properties, collectively referred to as “Properties”, “Site”, and “Platform”. See “Definitions” at the bottom of this page for further information. 

As a user, it is your responsibility to carefully read these Terms of Service as well as our Privacy Policy. Our Terms of Service are legally binding, and govern how you may legally access, use, and interact with our services and properties. These terms apply whether you purchase services directly or utilize Cyver through an employer or reseller. 

Furthermore, if you accept or agree to these terms on behalf of a legal entity such as a company or organization, you assume full responsibility for ensuring you represent and have the authority to bind that company or legal entity to these terms. In such an event, “you”, and “your” refer to and apply to that company and/or legal entity. 

Failure to comply with these Terms of Service may subject you to litigation and civil penalties. 

Order of Precedence 

Should any secondary terms or orders conflict with the General Terms of Service, the latter terms and conditions will take precedence, with the exception of conflicts caused by human error or honest mistake. Conflicts listed in an Order must expressly amend General Terms and Conditions to be considered as purposeful rather than erroneous amendments.
