1page — this is all of it
Plain-English summary. Browse the site, install the free scanner, and — if you want the paid tiers — register interest. We never claim any system is bulletproof; everything here is provided as-is and described honestly. What you submit is used only to contact you. The free scanner is public and self-serve; the paid Repairer and Shield runtime are still to come. Questions? A human reads every message.
pip install hermes-shield-scanner

▸ 01 · use of the site

You may browse. That’s the deal.

This site exists so you can learn about Hermes Shield, install the free scanner (GitHub · PyPI), read our public scan research, and register interest in the paid tiers. Use it for those things. Don’t scrape it aggressively, probe it for holes, or misrepresent its content as your own. That’s it.

▸ 02 · no warranty · honest claims

We never promise a system is bulletproof.

Everything on this site — including our public scan findings, framework audits, and reachability figures — is provided as-is, for information. Security is probabilistic, not absolute. If a page here ever reads like a guarantee of invulnerability, that’s a bug, not a promise: tell us and we’ll fix the wording. We describe what we observed; we do not warrant what will happen on your systems.

0 Guarantees of invulnerability ▸ we describe, we don’t warrant
as-is All findings & figures ▸ provided for information
▸ fix Overclaim spotted? Tell us ▸ that’s a bug, not a promise
▸ 03 · your submissions

What you send us stays sensible.

When you register interest, you give us accurate details and permission to contact you about your enquiry. We use what you submit for that purpose — see our Privacy page for the full picture. Don’t submit other people’s details, and don’t paste anything confidential into the form; it’s a contact form, not a vault.

▸ 04 · free scanner & paid tiers

The scanner is live. The paid tiers are coming.

The free scanner is public and self-serve — install it and scan your own agent’s codebase; your use is governed by its open-source licence in the public repository (also on PyPI). The paid tiers (Repairer, then the Shield runtime) are still to come; registering interest for them doesn’t guarantee access, a timeline, or any particular feature, and their pricing and terms may change as we build — we’d rather ship honest software slowly than promise things we haven’t proven. These website terms don’t cover the products themselves.

▸ 05 · limitation of liability

What we’re responsible for — and what we’re not.

To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any indirect or consequential loss arising from your use of this site or from reliance on its content — including our public scan findings, framework audits and reachability figures. Nothing in these terms excludes or limits any liability that cannot be excluded or limited under English law.

▸ 06 · governing law & jurisdiction

England & Wales.

These terms, and any dispute arising out of them or your use of this site, are governed by the laws of England & Wales, and the courts of England & Wales have exclusive jurisdiction. We may update these terms from time to time; the version published on this page is the one that applies.

▸ the honest-claims rule

If we can’t prove it,
we don’t publish it.

These terms follow the same rule as the product: no overclaiming. 0 proven-live exploits isn’t a marketing gap — it’s the standard we hold every page on this site to.
