Last updated: October 10, 2026

Agreement

By creating an account or using ShipShield, you agree to these terms. ShipShield is operated by Hardik Desai (sole proprietor), India. If you do not agree, do not use the service.

The service

ShipShield scans websites for common security problems, such as exposed keys and missing security headers, and explains how to fix them. Results are automated and informational: they may include false positives or miss issues, and are not a guarantee that a site is secure.

Acceptable use

  • Only scan sites you own or have clear permission to test.
  • Do not use ShipShield to attack, disrupt or gain unauthorized access to any system.
  • Do not overload the service or try to bypass rate limits or plan limits.
  • Do not resell the service or its results without our written consent.

We are building domain ownership verification so that deeper checks run only after the site owner proves control. Until then, you are responsible for scanning only what you are entitled to. We may suspend accounts that misuse the service.

Your account

You are responsible for activity on your account and for keeping your sign-in details secure. Provide accurate information and tell us if you suspect unauthorized access.

Subscriptions and billing

  • Paid plans are recurring subscriptions billed through Razorpay, in INR or USD.
  • Plan upgrades and downgrades take effect at your next renewal, with no proration.
  • You can cancel at any time. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period, and you keep access until then.
  • If a payment fails, your account moves to the free plan right away. You can subscribe again at any time.
  • Fees already paid are generally non-refundable. If you believe you were charged in error, email support@shipshield.dev and we will review it.

Disclaimers

The service is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind. We do not warrant that scans will find every vulnerability or that the service will be uninterrupted or error-free.

Limitation of liability

To the extent permitted by law, ShipShield and its operator are not liable for indirect or consequential losses, or for losses arising from decisions made on the basis of scan results. Our total liability for any claim is limited to the amount you paid us in the three months before the claim.

Termination

You may stop using the service and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or end access if you breach these terms or misuse the service.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of India, and the courts of India have jurisdiction over disputes, subject to any mandatory consumer rights where you live.
