Effective Date: Jul 31, 2017|Revised Date: Nov 6, 2024
GENERAL TERMS
This Agreement is entered into by and between the person accepting these Terms and, if applicable, the organization you represent as further detailed below (“you” or “your”) and either SNYK, INC., a company incorporated in Delaware, having an office at 100 Summer Street, 7th Floor, Boston, MA 02110 if you are located in the United States; or SNYK LIMITED, a company incorporated in England and Wales (No. 09677925), having its registered office at Suite 4, 7th Floor, 50 Broadway, London, SW1H 0DB United Kingdom if you are located in any other country (email address for legal notices: legal@snyk.io) (“Snyk”, “we”, “us”, or “our”).
These Terms govern your access and use of the Web Application Vulnerability Scanner cloud-based solution provided by us, or any subcontracted entity (the “Probely Scanner”), as well as related applications that integrate with or otherwise support the Probely Scanner, and the Site (collectively, the “Probely Service(s)”).
By registering for or using any of the Probely Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you are accepting these Terms or using the Probely Services on behalf of an organization, you are agreeing to these Terms for that organization and representing to us that you have the authority to bind that organization to these Terms (in which event, “you” and “your” will refer to that organization) unless that organization has a separate paid contract in effect with us, in which event the terms of that contract will govern your use of the Probely Services. You may use the Probely Services only in compliance with these Terms and applicable law, and only if you have the power to form a valid contract with us pursuant to these terms. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS, YOU MAY NOT ACCESS OR OTHERWISE USE THE PROBELY SERVICES. Should you have any questions concerning these Terms, please contact legal@snyk.io.
CHANGES TO THESE TERMS
- We reserve the right to revise these Terms from time to time. We will date and post the most current version of these Terms on https://probely.com/terms-of-service/ or any successor websites (the “Site”). Any changes will be effective on the date indicated at the top of the revised Terms.
ACCESS TO THE PROBELY SERVICES
You may use the Probely Service, on a non-exclusive basis, solely in strict compliance with these Terms and all applicable laws.
We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to make necessary unscheduled deployments of changes, updates, or enhancements to the Probely Service at any time. We may add or remove functionalities or features, and we may suspend or stop a Probely Service altogether.
The Probely Service has been designed to operate on recent versions of most web browsers, namely Chrome and Firefox. The Probely Scanner is intended for and has been designed to operate against any web application, as long as there’s connectivity between the Probely Scanner’s servers and the server that hosts the web application being tested.
YOUR ACCOUNT
To obtain access to the Probely Services you are required to obtain an account with us (become a “Registered User”), by completing a registration form and designating a user ID and password. Until you apply for an account, your access to the Probely Services will be limited to the areas, if any, that we make available to the general public. When registering to become a Registered User or otherwise submitting information to us in connection with account creation, you must: (a) provide true, accurate, current and complete information about yourself as requested by the Probely Service’s registration form (such information being the “Registration Data”); and (b) maintain and promptly update the Registration Data to keep it true, accurate, current and complete at all times. We may cancel, suspend, or delete, temporarily or permanently, your account at any time if you:
- fail to comply with these Terms,
- assign your contractual position to a third party without our prior consent, and/or
- act in such a way as to present risk or cause losses to us or other users. If it is necessary to deactivate your login, we will endeavor to inform you by e-mail.
If a third party such as an employer created an account for you, that party has rights to your account and may manage and cancel your account. If you are an individual Registered User of the Probely Services, and the domain of the primary email address associated with your account is owned by an organization and was assigned to you as an employee, contractor or member of such organization, and that organization wishes to establish a commercial relationship with us and add your account to such relationship, then, if you do not change the email address associated with your account, your account may become subject to the commercial relationship between us and such organization and controlled by such organization.
Only you may use your Probely Services account. You must keep your account and passwords confidential and not authorize any third party to access or use the Probely Service on your behalf, unless we provide an approved mechanism for such use. You bear sole responsibility for any loss or damage arising from any unauthorized use of your accounts. If you know or suspect that someone has access to your login and password, you must inform us immediately at security@Snyk.io.
You may request, at any time, the cancellation of your Probely Services account. However, with the exception of the situations expressly required under applicable law and these Terms, cancellation does not confer any right to reimbursement of amounts already paid for the use of the Probely Service.
YOUR TARGETS
When you add a Target on the Probely Services , you are asked to enter the base URL of the target.
A “Target” is a web application, website or API you wish to scan. The Target defines the scope of the scan. The Probely Scanner is designed to stay within the Target’s scope, i.e., it is designed to solely scan pages that are prefixed with the Target’s base URL.
You can choose to have more than one Target with the same URL or base URL, should you wish to have different scanning settings or organize your security testing that way. For illustrative purposes, the following URLs could represent 4 different Targets: https://app1.example.com, https://example.com/app1, https://example.com/app2, https://example.com.
CONTRACTING THE PROBELY SERVICE
Unless otherwise agreed in writing, the use of the paid Probely Service is dependent on the up-front payment of the fees set forth on an applicable Order Form (“Subscription Fees”). The Subscription Fees are generally determined in accordance with the number of sites to be scanned and the term of the applicable Order Form (the “Subscription Term”). Payment obligations are non-cancelable, fees paid are non-refundable, and quantities purchased cannot be decreased during the applicable Subscription Term. You will pay all fees without any set-off, counterclaim, deduction or withholding of any kind, except as may be required by law. If any withholding or deduction is required by law, you will, when making the payment to which the withholding or deduction relates, pay to us such additional amount as will ensure that we receive the same total amount that we would have received if no such withholding or deduction had been required.
Except where otherwise specified in writing between the parties, Order Forms shall automatically renew for additional periods of the same duration as the initial Subscription Term.
All prices are exclusive of taxes and you will bear any sales, use, value, goods or services, withholding or similar duties, whether domestic or foreign, related to the transactions under these Terms, other than taxes based on the income of Snyk.
The amount due may be paid by credit card (e.g., Visa, American Express, MasterCard) or bank transfer following the receipt of our invoice. Bank transfers are only available for annual subscriptions.
The invoice for the Probely Service will be issued electronically with the information you provide us and sent to the e-mail address that you indicate.
Once payment has been confirmed, you will typically receive an e-mail confirming the payment and the commencement of, or continued access to, as applicable, the Probely Service.
If you are on a historical plan that contemplates different fee structures or payment methods, you will continue to operate under that plan unless and until notified by us.
SUSPENSION AND TERMINATION OF USE OF THE SERVICE
- We reserve the right to temporarily suspend or terminate your access to the Probely Service at any time in our sole discretion, with or without notice, and without incurring liability of any kind, for any one or more of the following reasons: (a) the actual or suspected violation of these Terms; (b) the use of the Probely Services in a manner that may cause us to have legal liability or may disrupt others’ use of the Probely Services; (c) the detection of suspicious behavior in your account; (d) scheduled downtime and recurring downtime; (e) use of excessive storage capacity or bandwidth; or (f) unplanned technical problems and outages or other emergency situation, as determined in our discretion. If, in our sole discretion, the suspension is indefinite and/or we have elected to terminate your access to the Probely Service, we will use commercially reasonable efforts to notify you through the Probely Service and/or by email to the email address associated with your account. You acknowledge that if your access to the Probely Service is suspended or terminated, you may no longer have access to the Content that is stored with the Probely Service.

In addition, you undertake that you will not and will not encourage or assist any third party to:

A breach of any of the foregoing restrictions is deemed to be a material breach of these Terms.
access or use the Probely Service in any way intended to improperly avoid incurring fees, or exceeding usage limits or quotas. As such, you are entitled to no more than 2 concurrent scans of the same Target or 60 scans of the same Target on a monthly basis.
SERVICE LEVEL TERMS
We use reasonable endeavours designed to ensure that the Probely Services are always available. Snyk commits to availability of 99.9% for paid access to the Probely Scanner, calculated on a 90-day period, excluding holidays and weekends and scheduled maintenance. If Customer requests maintenance during these hours, any uptime or downtime calculation will exclude periods affected by such maintenance. Further, any Downtime resulting from the following will also be excluded from any such calculation: (a) third party connections or utilities or other reasons beyond Company’s control; (b) your acts or omissions; (c) the failure or malfunction of equipment, applications or systems not owned or controlled by Snyk; (d) any inconsistencies or changes in your source environment, including either intentional or accidental connections or disconnections to the environment; (e) force majeure events; (f) any suspension of the Probely Services in accordance with these Terms; (g) your use of the Probely Services in a manner inconsistent with our documentation; (h) scheduled downtime; or, (i) emergency downtime.
If Snyk fails to meet the guaranteed availability (“Downtime”) in any calendar month, except as otherwise provided herein you will be eligible for a credit as described below.
Downtime shall begin to accrue as soon as you (with notice to Snyk) recognize that downtime is taking place and continues until the availability of the Probely Scanner is restored. In order to receive Downtime Credit, you must notify Snyk in writing within 24 hours from the initial Downtime, and failure to provide such notice will forfeit the right to receive Downtime Credit. Downtime Credits shall be your sole and exclusive remedy in the event of any failure to meet these availability commitments. Downtime Credits will be applied to the next invoice following your request and Snyk’s confirmation that credits are applicable. If availability is less than 95% for (a) three consecutive months, or, (b) any three months during any twelve-month period, you may terminate these Terms upon written notice to Snyk.
Snyk’s blocking of data communications or other portions of the Probely Services in accordance with its policies shall not be deemed to be a failure of Snyk to provide adequate service levels under these Terms.

RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS
- The parties acknowledge and agree that with respect to the processing of Personal Data, Customer is the controller and Snyk is the processor. The parties agree that the Agreement and this DPA, as well as Customer’s configuration of the Probely Services, shall constitute the Customer's instructions for the processing of Personal Data. Each Party shall comply with its respective obligations under the Data Protection Laws. Customer will not instruct Snyk to process Personal Data in violation of applicable law. To the extent required by Data Protection Laws, Snyk shall assist Customer in complying with Customer’s obligations under the Data Protection Laws. Customer shall have sole responsibility for the accuracy, quality, and legality of Personal Data it provides or otherwise makes available to Snyk, and the means by which Customer acquired and transferred such Personal Data to Snyk, and the legal basis to permit Snyk’s processing of such Personal Data under the Agreement and this DPA. Snyk will cooperate with reasonable requests by Customer for documentary audits of Snyk's security and privacy practices. The time, duration, place, scope, and manner of the audit must be mutually agreed by the parties, but in no event will an audit be conducted more frequently than once per year. Taking into account the nature of the request and to the extent reasonably feasible from a technical and operational perspective, Snyk will provide Customer with any information necessary to enable Customer to comply with applicable law or request from a regulatory body, provided that Snyk will not release any proprietary or confidential information. If a regulator wishes to carry out an audit of Snyk or its activities under this Agreement, Customer will provide Snyk with no less than 30 days’ notice, unless the regulator has given less notice to Customer. In the event of a breach of security resulting in an unauthorized or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, disclosure of, or access to, Customer Data (including Personal Data, as defined in the DPA) (a “Security Incident”), upon becoming aware of the Security Incident, Snyk will (i) promptly take reasonable action to mitigate the Security Incident, and (ii) without undue delay, notify Customer of the Security Incident. Any such notification is not an acknowledgement of fault or responsibility. In addition, Snyk will provide reasonable assistance to Customer (and any law enforcement or regulatory official with proper jurisdiction) to fulfil Customer’s obligations under applicable law to investigate and respond to the Security Incident.
- As required by Data Protection Law, Snyk shall keep a written record of its processing activities with respect to the Personal Data. Customer’s audit rights with respect to Personal Data are specified in this DPA.
SUB-PROCESSORS
- Customer grants Snyk general authorization to engage third parties to process the Personal Data ("Sub-processors"). Snyk shall maintain an up-to-date list of Sub-processors at https://snyk.io/policies/subprocessors/ and https://probely.com/privacy-policy.
- Snyk will provide Customer with thirty (30) day notice (the “Notice Period”) prior to adding or replacing any Sub-processor by posting details at https://snyk.io/policies/subprocessors/ or https://probely.com/privacy-policy. In the event Customer reasonably objects to the addition or replacement of such Sub-processor, Customer will provide Snyk written notice of its objection and its reasonable grounds for objection within the Notice Period and the parties will discuss in good faith with a view to achieving a commercially reasonable resolution. If no such resolution can be reached, Snyk will either not appoint the new Sub-processor with respect to Customer’s use of the Probely Services, or permit Customer to suspend or terminate the affected Probely Services without liability to either party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Snyk may replace a Sub-processor if the need for the change is urgent and necessary to provide the Probely Services. In such instance, Snyk shall notify Customer of the replacement as soon as reasonably practicable, and Customer shall retain the right to object to the replacement Sub-processor.
- Snyk shall ensure each Sub-processor is appointed pursuant to a written contract conferring a materially the same obligations with respect to Personal Data as this DPA and shall be responsible for ensuring each such Sub-processor complies with all such obligations.
DATA REQUESTS
- Snyk shall, to the extent required by applicable Data Protection Law, notify Customer if Snyk receives any valid requests from a data subject identified in connection with Customer’s subscription to the Probely Services to exercise his or her individual rights under Data Protection Law. Snyk shall, to the extent permitted by law and taking into account the nature of the processing, provide reasonable assistance to Customer in responding to valid requests from data subjects under the Data Protection Laws.
- In the event Snyk becomes subject to a request from a public authority, Snyk shall review the legality of such a request prior to acceding to it. To the extent permitted by law, Snyk shall promptly notify Customer in writing of any such request. Snyk shall in respect of any such request only disclose the minimum amount of Personal Data it assesses is reasonably required.
GDPR
- This Section shall apply only to the extent as Personal Data contains personal information subject to the GDPR, UK GDPR, or FADP and shall apply in addition to the other requirements of the Agreement and the other provisions of this DPA. The parties agree that Snyk may process Personal Data as part of providing the Probely Services pursuant to the Agreement. Snyk shall inform Customer if it becomes aware that Customer’s instructions infringe GDPR, UK GDPR or FADP (as applicable) but without obligation to actively monitor Customer's compliance therewith.
INTERNATIONAL DATA TRANSFERS
- Customer acknowledges and agrees that Snyk may transfer, access and process Personal Data on a global basis as necessary to provide the Probely Services in accordance with the Agreement. Snyk will make any such transfers in compliance with the Data Protection Laws.

- Clause 7, the (Docking Clause), shall not apply;

Annex 2 - TECHNICAL AND ORGANISATIONAL MEASURES
The following list is a non-exhaustive list of security controls we implement with respect to our Probely Scanner:
- We employ industry-standard encryption technology.
- All of our infrastructure is hosted in a top-tier cloud provider, where security has been scrutinized. Our cloud provider’s security features and controls are configured to segregate and monitor our service networks, for audit logs, and for security event management. The frontend, backend, and database servers use private and segregated networks controlled by security groups.
Where appropriate we implement the following security practices, including (but not limited to):
- Principle of the least privilege (to access our systems and data),
- Server hardening and security updates,
- Requiring 2-factor authentication,
- Central logging,
- Secure Software Development Life cycle, including periodic security assessments
Notwithstanding the outlined security measures, it is important to remember that the transmission of data via the internet may not be completely secure and that you are advised to take suitable precautions when transmitting data via the internet.
