The agreement, in language you can actually read.

1. Who you are agreeing with

These terms are between you and Qudelta Solutions LLP (“Secondread”, “we”). They apply when you use the Secondread website or the application at https://app.secondread.dev. By creating an account or buying a report, you accept them.

2. What the service is

Secondread reads source code you connect to it and produces a written report describing what it found: costs, reliability risks, security boundaries, and suggested next steps, in plain English, with references back to the exact files and lines.

It is a review, and it is advisory. Every finding is a description of what the code appears to do and a recommendation about it. You decide what to act on.

3. What the service is not

This matters more than most sections here, so it is stated plainly.

• It is not a penetration test, a security certification, or a compliance audit.
• It is not a guarantee that your application is free of vulnerabilities, bugs, or cost problems. A review can only report what it finds; the absence of a finding is not proof of the absence of a problem.
• It is not professional legal, financial, or accounting advice, including when a report is used to support a purchase, a sale, or diligence on a business.
• It does not fix anything. Secondread never changes, commits to, or runs your code.

4. Your account

You need an account, created through GitHub or Google. You are responsible for what happens under your account and for keeping access to it secure. You must be at least 18, legally capable of entering a contract, and, if you use Secondread for an organisation, authorised to bind that organisation to these terms.

5. Access to your code

You grant Secondread read-only access to the repositories you select, through a GitHub App with Contents and Metadata read permissions. You must have the right to grant that access for any repository you connect.

You keep every right in your code. Nothing here transfers ownership of it to us, and we claim no licence to it beyond what is needed to produce the reports you ask for.

You can withdraw that access at any time, from GitHub.

6. Credits, and how they are spent

• Snapshot adds one audit credit. Monitor adds twelve.
• Credits from every purchase go into a single balance on your account and can be spent on any app you connect.
• Credits expire 90 days after the purchase that created them.
• A newly generated report normally costs one credit, whether it is the first report or a follow-up.
• If a follow-up finds that at least 70% of the issues from the previous report are still unresolved, it returns a focused progress report and costs half a credit.
• If no new commit has been added since the previous check, it returns an empty no-change result and costs zero credits.
• If an exact result is already available for the same commit, returning that result also costs zero credits.
• Monitor also includes 90 days of scheduled watches, across as many apps as you like. A watch only ever runs because you switched it on, and it pauses if you run out of credits.

Nothing renews automatically. There is no subscription and no free tier.

7. Payment

Payments are handled by our merchant of record, which operates the checkout, processes payment, calculates applicable tax, handles international billing, and issues the invoice. Our catalogue prices are set in USD as one-time charges, but checkout may present and charge an available local currency. The final amount, currency, and tax are shown before you pay.

Refunds are covered separately in our refund policy, which forms part of these terms.

8. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• Connect a repository you do not have the right to share with us.
• Attempt to break, overload, or work around limits in the service.
• Resell reports as your own audit product without our written agreement.
• Use the service to build a competing code-review product.

9. Your reports

The reports we generate for you are yours to use, keep, and share. You can export them, hand them to a contractor, or send a read-only link to someone without an account.

We retain ownership of Secondread itself: the software, the review methodology, the report format, and the brand.

10. Availability

We aim to keep the service running and reports flowing, but we do not promise uninterrupted availability. We may change, suspend, or retire features. If we retire something you have paid for and cannot deliver it, the refund policy applies.

11. Liability

To the extent the law allows, Secondread is provided as-is, and our total liability to you is limited to twice the average monthly fees you paid during the 12 months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim, with the average calculated by dividing all fees paid during that period by 12.

We are not liable for business losses that follow from decisions you make based on a report, including lost profits, lost data, or the cost of work you commission. A report is one input into your judgement, not a substitute for it.

Nothing here limits liability that cannot legally be limited.

12. Ending the agreement

You can stop using Secondread whenever you want, and delete your account from Settings. We may suspend or close an account that breaches these terms. Unused credits are handled under the refund policy.

13. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms. If a change materially affects you, we will update the effective date above and notify account holders by email before it takes effect. Continuing to use the service after that means you accept the new version.

14. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of India, and disputes fall to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of competent jurisdiction in Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir, India.
