Terms of Service & Legal Protection Policy
Last Updated & Effective: September 2026 · Governing Law: Republic of India · Dispute Resolution: Mandatory Binding Arbitration
Essential Summary: Complete Liability Shield & No-Court Agreement
By accessing or purchasing any tool, license, or service from Hackerrecon, you enter into a legally binding contract. All services are provided strictly “AS IS” with zero warranties. The total aggregate liability of the operator is strictly capped at the exact amount you paid (maximum ₹1,000 INR). You unconditionally agree that all disputes must be resolved solely through amicable dialogue or binding individual arbitration, waiving all rights to court litigation, class-action lawsuits, or representative claims.
1. Operator Identity & Merchant of Record (MoR)
Hackerrecon (“we”, “us”, or “our”) is operated as an independent software development project and sole proprietorship by an individual developer based in Bengaluru, Karnataka, Republic of India.
All commercial financial transactions, payment gateway integrations, and statutory digital invoicing are facilitated through authorized Merchant of Record Dodo Payments Inc., ensuring full banking, RBI, and international financial compliance.
2. Authorized, Educational & Ethical Use Only
Hackerrecon tools (including client-side security utilities, cybersecurity calculators, the AI Pentest Report Generator, and simulated OS environments) are built exclusively for legitimate educational learning, authorized system evaluation, and defensive security hygiene:
- You may only evaluate digital assets, networks, and domains that you personally own or have documented, verifiable written authorization to assess.
- You are strictly prohibited from using any tool for unauthorized penetration, denial of service (DoS/DDoS), data scraping, harassment, malware distribution, or cybercrime under the Information Technology Act, 2000 (India) or international cyber statutes.
- Any violation will result in immediate, non-refundable termination of all access and full cooperation with law enforcement agencies.
3. Nature of Simulated Terminal OS & Threat Intelligence
The Hacker Terminal is a simulated sandbox environment designed for training, security visualization, and demonstration. The 3D threat globes, satellite orbital feeds, SIGINT radio telemetry, and decompilation windows operate on synthetic datasets and mock infrastructure. It does not perform active offensive exploitation of live third-party targets or infrastructure.
4. Absolute “AS IS” & “AS AVAILABLE” Warranty Disclaimer
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW:
HACKERRECON, ITS SOFTWARE, SAAS TOOLS, WEBSITES, CALCULATORS, CODE SNIPPETS, AND DOCUMENTATION ARE PROVIDED STRICTLY ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS, WITHOUT ANY WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE.
WE EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO: IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, ACCURACY, NON-INFRINGEMENT, UNINTERRUPTED AVAILABILITY, OR FREEDOM FROM BUGS, DEFECTS, OR OPERATIONAL ERRORS. YOU ASSUME ALL RISK AND RESPONSIBILITY FOR ACCESSING, EXECUTING, OR RELYING UPON ANY PART OF THE PLATFORM.
5. Tool Output Disclaimers & Non-Reliance
ATS compatibility scores, keyword suggestions, resume analysis, and template designs are automated algorithmic heuristics provided for personal reference and guidance only. Hackerrecon is not an employment agency, headhunter, or recruiter. We do not promise, warrant, or guarantee interview calls, job offers, hiring success, or that third-party employer applicant tracking systems will produce identical scores.
Invoice templates and calculation engines are provided for administrative convenience. The user is solely responsible for verifying the mathematical accuracy, correct tax rates (GST, VAT, Sales Tax), legal compliance, and invoicing validity under local tax laws. Hackerrecon is not a Chartered Accountant (CA), legal advisor, or tax consultancy.
SEO diagnostic reports and Core Web Vitals audits are automated point-in-time technical evaluations. Hackerrecon does not guarantee higher Google search rankings, website traffic, or indexation.
Hashes, cryptography decoders, and password strength estimators are educational utilities. They do not constitute an accredited or certified security audit.
Hackerrecon provides digital template utilities—including the ID Card Generator, Receipt Generator (Rent / HRA / 80G / Payment), Hotel Bill Generator, Quotation Generator, Business Card Generator, and Passport Photo Generator—strictly for authorized organizational prototyping, graphic design layout mockups, film/theatrical prop production, and educational demonstration.

The user warrants that they possess lawful authorization for all data entered and bears sole and exclusive civil and criminal liability for any generated documents. You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold completely harmless Hackerrecon, its founder, and developer from any legal notices, FIRs, court subpoenas, tax penalties, or litigation arising from document misuse.
