The ground rules
PhantomYerra is a licensed enterprise security tool. By installing, launching, or using the software you accept these terms. If you do not accept them, uninstall the product and request a refund under the licensing agreement.
1 Definitions
- “Product” means the PhantomYerra desktop application, command-line interface, automated update service, license service, and documentation.
- “Licensee” means the natural person or organization that has been issued a valid installation code and seat.
- “Seat” means a single authorized user of the Product.
- “Target” means the system, application, network, or asset that the Licensee is scanning.
- “Authorization” means explicit written permission from the owner or operator of a Target to perform security assessment.
2 License grant
Subject to these Terms and on-time payment of applicable fees, the Publisher grants the Licensee a non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable right to install and use the Product on the number of Seats for which the license is issued. Perpetual-seat licenses continue to function on the installed version without a time limit; updates require an active maintenance entitlement.
The Licensee may not: copy the Product beyond reasonable backup; reverse engineer it except where explicitly permitted by law; bypass or defeat the license validation system; redistribute, resell, rent, or sublicense the Product; remove or alter any copyright, trademark, or proprietary notice; or use the Product to provide a time-share or managed service to third parties without a separate reseller agreement.
3 Authorized-use requirement
By starting any scan, the Licensee represents that it has obtained the necessary Authorization for the Target(s). The Publisher has no ability to verify Authorization and bears no responsibility for unauthorized use.
4 Acceptable use
The Licensee agrees not to use the Product:
- For unauthorized access, disruption, or data exfiltration.
- To conduct denial-of-service attacks against production systems.
- To generate, store, or distribute illegal content.
- In support of any criminal offense, fraud, or willful infringement of third-party rights.
- To circumvent Authorization, consent, or scope restrictions imposed by the Target’s owner.
- To bypass licensing, rate-limits, or enforcement mechanisms of other software.
- In violation of applicable export-control or sanctions law (see Section 10).
5 Updates and maintenance
Active licenses receive automatic updates via the auto-updater described in the Privacy Policy. Updates may add, remove, or change features. Legacy versions remain functional on the installed device but may become incompatible with the License Service or external data sources (CVE feeds, threat intelligence, compliance mappings) over time. The Publisher recommends keeping the Product on the current release.
6 Support
Standard support is provided by email at support@phantomyerra.com during business hours (US Eastern time, Monday through Friday). Enterprise support terms are governed by the signed order form or master agreement. The Publisher does not guarantee that every reported issue will be resolved; it will make commercially reasonable efforts.
7 Fees and renewal
License fees, seat counts, and renewal cadence are specified in the order form or on the pricing page you agreed to at purchase. Invoices are due net thirty (30) days from issue unless otherwise agreed. Past-due accounts may have access suspended until paid.
Perpetual-seat licenses continue to function on the installed version after non-renewal of maintenance, but lose access to updates and to the licensed-only portions of the auto-updater / CDN.
8 Intellectual property
The Product, its name, logo, documentation, and underlying methodology are the intellectual property of Ravi Yerra. No rights other than those expressly granted in Section 2 are transferred.
The Licensee retains ownership of all scan results, findings, reports, and derivative work produced by using the Product on its own or authorized Targets. The Publisher claims no ownership or license in Licensee scan output.
9 Feedback
If the Licensee provides feedback or suggestions about the Product, the Publisher may use, reproduce, and incorporate such feedback into the Product without obligation or compensation. The Licensee is not required to provide feedback.
10 Export controls and sanctions
The Product contains cryptographic functionality and security tooling. The Licensee must comply with US Export Administration Regulations (EAR) and equivalent export-control laws. The Licensee may not export, re-export, or transfer the Product to any sanctioned country, entity, or individual (as listed by the US OFAC, EU, UK HMT, or UN Security Council sanctions lists), or for any prohibited end use.
11 Warranty disclaimer
Security assessments are inherently probabilistic. A clean scan does not mean a Target is secure. A finding requires human validation before remediation. The Publisher makes no warranty regarding completeness, absence of false positives or negatives, or detection of any particular vulnerability class.
12 Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Publisher’s aggregate liability to the Licensee arising out of or related to the Product, these Terms, or their use will not exceed the fees paid by the Licensee for the Product in the twelve (12) months preceding the event giving rise to the liability.
In no event will the Publisher be liable for lost profits, lost revenue, lost data, business interruption, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.
The foregoing limits do not apply where prohibited by law (for example, for gross negligence, willful misconduct, or death/personal injury caused by the Publisher’s negligence).
13 Indemnity
The Licensee will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Publisher against third-party claims arising out of (a) the Licensee’s use of the Product in violation of these Terms, (b) the Licensee’s scanning of Targets without Authorization, or (c) the Licensee’s violation of applicable law using the Product.
14 Termination
The Publisher may terminate the license immediately upon (a) material breach of Section 3 or Section 4, (b) non-payment more than 30 days past due after notice, (c) insolvency or winding up of the Licensee, or (d) use in violation of export-control or sanctions law. Upon termination, the Licensee must cease using the Product and remove it from all Seats.
15 Governing law & disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, USA, excluding conflict-of-laws principles. The parties submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Delaware for any dispute arising out of these Terms or the Product, except that either party may seek injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to protect its intellectual property or confidential information.
16 Entire agreement
These Terms, together with the applicable order form and any signed master agreement, constitute the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the Product and supersede all prior or contemporaneous discussions. Neither party relies on any representation that is not set forth in writing. Changes to these Terms must be in writing and signed by an authorized representative of each party (for enterprise orders) or posted to this page (for standard orders).
