Please read these terms of service carefully before using our platform.

1. Service Overview

Kerbes is an online platform dedicated to OSINT (Open-Source Intelligence).

It provides tools, resources, and services designed for the analysis and correlation of publicly available information.

Access to and use of the platform are strictly reserved for individuals of legal age and full legal capacity.

By accessing or using Kerbes, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service in their entirety.

Kerbes operates under an ethical and professional framework: its tools are developed to support security, transparency, and legitimate open-source research, while respecting fundamental rights and personal privacy.

2. Authorized Use and Restrictions

By using Kerbes, you agree to:

  • Use the platform solely for lawful, ethical, and professional purposes.

  • Not extract, reproduce, modify, or redistribute any tools, data, or content without prior written authorization.
  • Respect the privacy and dignity of individuals whose information may appear in open sources.
  • Not resell, commercialize, or exploit the results produced by the platform without Kerbes' formal approval.

Any misuse, abuse, or violation of these conditions may result in the immediate suspension or permanent termination of your account without notice.

3. Intellectual Property

Unless otherwise stated, all content, scripts, databases, interfaces, graphical elements, and technical tools available on the Kerbes website are the exclusive property of their creators and rightful owners.

Any reproduction, modification, distribution, or reuse, whether partial or total, without express written permission from Kerbes, is strictly prohibited.

Users retain ownership of the files or data they upload or process through the platform.

However, they grant Kerbes a limited, non-exclusive, and temporary license to use such data solely for technical and operational purposes necessary to provide the service.

4. Disclaimer and Limitation of Liability

Kerbes provides analytical and aggregation tools exclusively for educational, professional, research, or defensive cybersecurity purposes.

The information obtained through the platform originates from publicly available sources and does not constitute legal proof or certification.

The interpretation and use of results are the sole responsibility of the user.

Kerbes shall not be held liable for any direct or indirect damages, whether material or immaterial, resulting from:

  • The use or misuse of the platform,
  • The accuracy or reliability of third-party data sources, or
  • Any harm caused to third parties as a result of user actions.

Kerbes does not guarantee the complete absence of errors, interruptions, or vulnerabilities but implements advanced measures to minimize such risks.

5. Lawful and Ethical Use

Kerbes is strictly intended for lawful and legitimate activities.

It must not be used to:

  • Collect non-public data,
  • Bypass security measures,
  • Profile individuals without legal basis, or
  • Interfere with third-party information systems.

The user acknowledges that any abusive, intrusive, or unlawful use of the platform may result in civil or criminal prosecution, depending on the severity of the misconduct.

6. Cooperation with Authorities

Kerbes reserves the right to cooperate with competent authorities in the event of any report, investigation, or legal request related to illegal or unethical use of the platform.

In cases of suspected unlawful activity, Kerbes may immediately suspend the concerned account and share relevant technical information with authorities, in accordance with applicable legal obligations.

7. Data Protection and Privacy

Kerbes is committed to maintaining confidentiality and protecting user data.

No personal data is collected or stored beyond what is strictly necessary for the operation of the service.

All analyses and tools are based solely on information that is publicly available (open sources).

No data is enriched, cross-referenced, or used for profiling, targeting, or surveillance purposes.

Kerbes employs advanced security standards to ensure system integrity and protect the confidentiality of processed data.

8. System Security and Integrity

Users agree not to:

  • Circumvent or attempt to bypass security mechanisms,
  • Interfere with the normal functioning of the platform,
  • Perform reverse engineering, or
  • Conduct vulnerability or penetration testing on the platform.

Any attempt to compromise, alter, or disrupt the service is strictly prohibited and may result in legal action.

9. Service Modifications and Force Majeure

Kerbes reserves the right to modify, suspend, or temporarily interrupt its services at any time, including for maintenance, technical improvements, or force majeure circumstances.

Kerbes shall not be held liable for any consequences arising from such interruptions or modifications.

10. User Acknowledgment

By creating an account and using the platform, the user acknowledges having read, understood, and accepted these Terms of Service in full.

The user certifies that they are using Kerbes within a legal, professional, and ethical framework and understands that any violation of these provisions may lead to the permanent suspension of their access.

11. Refund Policy and Chargeback Disputes

Kerbes provides a fully digital service. Each credit is consumed immediately and irreversibly the moment a search is initiated, with results delivered in real time.

By proceeding with payment, the user expressly acknowledges and agrees that:

  • Once a credit has been consumed (a search has been initiated or performed), no refund will be granted under any circumstance.
  • The user waives the right of withdrawal otherwise applicable to distance contracts under Article L221-28 of the French Consumer Code, for services whose execution begins immediately at the user's express request.
  • No chargeback, payment dispute, or refund claim will be tolerated for transactions corresponding to credits that have been consumed. Such disputes will be contested with full technical evidence, including authentication logs, IP addresses, timestamps, and proof of service delivery.

By using our service, you commit in full knowledge of cause: you acknowledge the irrevocable nature of credit consumption and accept that any attempt to obtain a chargeback after consuming the service will be qualified as friendly fraud, resulting in permanent account ban, denial of service across all related identifiers, and reporting to fraud prevention networks.
