Terms & Conditions

1 The provider

The Site is operated by SC 3389 Software Outsourcing SRL, a private limited company organised under the laws of Romania, registered in Bucharest, VAT ID RO 33938160, with its registered office at Colentina 16, Sector 2, Bucharest, 021177, Romania (the “Company”, “3389”, “we”, “us”).

You can reach us at office@3389.ro.

2 Acceptance and scope

These Terms form a legally binding agreement between you (“you”, “User”) and the Company. They apply to every visitor to the Site and to any person who downloads or installs software made available through the Site.

These Terms do not govern commercial engagements between the Company and its clients. Paid engagements (custom software development, integration, monitoring, infrastructure work, long-term support and similar) are governed exclusively by separate, signed written contracts between the Company and the client; nothing on this Site constitutes an offer to contract on specific terms, nor does it create a contractual relationship by itself.

3 Definitions

• Site — the website and any of its subdomains.
• Content — all text, images, screenshots, code samples, diagrams, designs, logos, branding and documentation published on the Site.
• Open Tools — the open-source utilities the Company publishes for free download, including (without limitation) NetLens and AI Status Monitor.
• Submission — any information, message, file or data that you send to the Company through the Site (for example via the contact form).

4 Eligibility

You must be at least 16 years old and legally capable of entering into a binding agreement under the law of your country of residence in order to use this Site. If you use the Site on behalf of an organisation, you represent that you are authorised to accept these Terms on its behalf.

5 Open Tools — separate licence

Software made available through the Site for download (including its source archive) is governed by the licence file bundled with that software (the LICENSE.txt), not by these Terms. The Open Tools are released under the MIT License unless explicitly stated otherwise on the download page.

The Open Tools are provided “AS IS”, without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including but not limited to the warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement and accuracy. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Company shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, exemplary or consequential damages arising from or related to the use of or inability to use the Open Tools — including but not limited to loss of data, business interruption, network downtime, false-positive or false-negative scan results, operational decisions based on the output of the Open Tools, regulatory consequences, damage to scanned systems, alerts triggered against unauthorised endpoints, or any third- party claim.

You are solely responsible for the legality of how you use the Open Tools. In particular, you must run NetLens or any comparable network-scanning utility only against networks you own, administer, or have explicit written authorisation to scan. Unauthorised network scanning may constitute a criminal offence under Romanian Law 161/2003 on cyber-criminality, Romanian Criminal Code articles 360–366 (illegal access to a computer system / illegal interception / illegal data interference), the EU Directive 2013/40/EU on attacks against information systems, and equivalent legislation in other jurisdictions. The Company expressly disclaims any responsibility for such misuse.

Vendor and brand names visible in the output of the Open Tools (for example in scan results, status pages or screenshots) are property of their respective owners. Their appearance is the result of public-registry lookups, public-feed parsing or technical description and does not imply affiliation, sponsorship or endorsement by the relevant rights holders.

6 Permitted use of the Site

You may use the Site for any lawful purpose, including but not limited to:

• Reading the published material;
• Downloading the Open Tools under their respective licences;
• Contacting the Company via the contact form for legitimate business inquiries;
• Quoting short, properly attributed extracts of the Site’s textual Content for editorial, academic or evaluative purposes, in line with the “quotation right” recognised under EU and Romanian copyright law.

7 Prohibited use

You must not:

• Use the Site or any Submission channel for unsolicited commercial communication, spam, harassment, phishing, fraud or any unlawful purpose;
• Attempt to gain unauthorised access to any part of the Site, the Company’s infrastructure, the Company’s customer-portal or any connected system;
• Probe, scan, stress-test, perform vulnerability assessments against, or otherwise interfere with the integrity or performance of the Site or its hosting infrastructure without prior written authorisation from the Company;
• Introduce viruses, worms, ransomware, trojans, logic bombs or any other malicious code;
• Scrape or systematically reproduce the Site’s Content, in whole or in substantial part, including for the training, fine-tuning or evaluation of machine- learning models, without the Company’s prior written consent;
• Use the Company’s name, logo, trademarks or branding in a way that suggests sponsorship, partnership or endorsement that does not exist;
• Bypass, disable or otherwise interfere with security-related features of the Site;
• Use the Site in any way that violates the laws of Romania, the European Union or any other applicable jurisdiction.

8 Intellectual property

All Content on the Site is owned by the Company or licensed to the Company and is protected by Romanian Law 8/1996 on copyright and related rights, Regulation (EU) 2017/1001 on the European Union trade mark and other applicable intellectual-property legislation.

Except for the limited rights granted in section 6 above and the separate MIT licence that applies to the Open Tools, no part of the Site or its Content may be reproduced, distributed, modified, publicly performed, publicly displayed, transmitted, reverse-engineered, decompiled or otherwise exploited without the Company’s prior written consent.

Third-party trademarks and brand identifiers visible on the Site (for example AI providers’ names referenced by AI Status Monitor, or vendor names visible in NetLens screenshots) are the property of their respective owners. They appear strictly for descriptive, interoperability or factual purposes. The Company is not affiliated with, sponsored by, endorsed by, or in partnership with any such third party, unless explicitly stated.

9 Submissions

When you send the Company a Submission — through the contact form, by email, or otherwise — you represent that:

• You have the right to disclose the information you are sending;
• The Submission does not contain confidential information of a third party for which you do not have permission to share;
• The Submission is not unlawful, defamatory, infringing or otherwise objectionable;
• You are not relying on the Company to keep the Submission confidential unless a separate written non-disclosure agreement is in place.

Submissions sent through the public contact form should describe project intent at a high level only. For confidential briefs, please request a non-disclosure agreement before sharing any sensitive material.

You retain ownership of the content of your Submission, but by sending it you grant the Company a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide licence to read, copy, store and process the Submission for the purposes of responding to your inquiry, evaluating whether to enter into a business relationship with you and complying with the Company’s legal obligations.

10 Privacy and cookies

Our processing of personal data is governed by our Privacy Policy and our Cookie Policy, both of which form an integral part of these Terms and are subject to Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR) and Romanian Law 190/2018 on the application of GDPR.

11 No professional advice

The Site contains general engineering and operational information based on the Company’s experience. This information is published for context only and does not constitute professional, legal, regulatory, financial, security, compliance or investment advice. You should obtain specific professional advice before relying on any information published on the Site for a particular decision.

12 Third-party links and content

The Site may link to or reference third-party websites, services, feeds or repositories. The Company has no control over the content, privacy practices, security or availability of such third-party properties and accepts no responsibility for them. Following an external link is at your own risk.

13 Availability of the Site

The Site is provided on a best-effort basis. The Company does not warrant that the Site will be uninterrupted, error-free, timely, secure or free of viruses. The Company may modify, suspend or discontinue any part of the Site at any time without notice and without liability.

14 Warranty disclaimer

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Site, the Content and the Open Tools are provided “AS IS” and “AS AVAILABLE”, without warranty of any kind, whether express, implied, statutory or otherwise, including without limitation the implied warranties of merchantability, satisfactory quality, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, reliability, completeness, security, non-infringement and quiet enjoyment.

Nothing in these Terms shall exclude or limit any liability that cannot, by Romanian or EU law, be excluded or limited. If you are dealing with the Company as a consumer within the meaning of Government Ordinance 21/1992 on consumer protection, your statutory rights remain unaffected.

15 Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event shall the Company, its directors, employees, contractors, affiliates or licensors be liable for:

• Any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages;
• Loss of profits, revenue, business, opportunity, goodwill, anticipated savings or business reputation;
• Loss, corruption, alteration or destruction of data, even if foreseeable;
• Operational decisions taken on the basis of Site Content or Open-Tool output;
• Any third-party claim arising from your use of the Site or the Open Tools.

Where liability cannot be lawfully excluded, the Company’s aggregate liability to you in connection with the Site or the Open Tools shall not exceed one hundred euros (EUR 100), this being the parties’ agreed estimate of a fair cap on the value of access to a free, informational website and to free, MIT-licensed open- source software.

Nothing in this section excludes liability for: (i) fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; (ii) death or personal injury caused by the Company’s negligence; or (iii) any other liability that cannot be excluded or limited under Romanian or EU law.

16 Indemnity

You agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Company and its directors, employees, contractors, affiliates and licensors from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or in connection with:

• Your breach of these Terms;
• Your use of the Site or the Open Tools in a way that is unlawful or that infringes a third party’s rights (including but not limited to unauthorised network scanning or unauthorised access to information systems);
• Any Submission you send through the Site;
• Your violation of any applicable law or regulation.

17 Suspension and termination

The Company reserves the right to restrict, suspend or terminate your access to the Site (in whole or in part) at any time, with or without prior notice, if the Company reasonably believes that you have breached these Terms or that your activity may damage the Site, its users or the Company’s legitimate interests.

Sections that by their nature should survive termination (intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnity, governing law) shall remain in force after termination.

18 Force majeure

The Company shall not be liable for any failure or delay in performance caused by circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including but not limited to natural disasters, war, terrorist activity, civil unrest, pandemics, government action, labour disputes, internet or telecommunications failures, denial-of-service attacks, upstream-provider outages, or failures of utility services.

19 Changes to these Terms

The Company may update these Terms from time to time. The current version, with the last-updated date below, is always available at this URL. Material changes will be indicated on the Site. Your continued use of the Site after a change becomes effective constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

20 Governing law and jurisdiction

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Romania, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. Mandatory consumer-protection provisions of the law of your habitual residence (where applicable within the European Union) shall continue to apply where they grant you a higher level of protection.

Any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or in connection with these Terms, including any question regarding their existence, validity or termination, shall be submitted to the exclusive jurisdiction of the competent courts of Bucharest, Romania, save where mandatory law gives consumers the right to bring proceedings in the courts of their place of residence.

Consumers domiciled in the European Union may also seek to resolve disputes through the European Commission’s Online Dispute Resolution platform at ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr.

21 Severability

If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable by a competent court, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect, and the invalid provision shall be replaced by a valid one that most closely reflects the parties’ original economic intent.

22 Assignment

You may not assign or transfer your rights or obligations under these Terms without the Company’s prior written consent. The Company may assign or transfer its rights and obligations in connection with a sale, merger, reorganisation or similar transaction.

23 Entire agreement

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, the Cookie Policy and (where applicable) the MIT licence text bundled with each Open Tool, constitute the entire agreement between you and the Company in respect of your use of the Site and the Open Tools, and supersede any prior agreement or understanding between you and the Company on the same subject matter.

For paid engagements, the entire agreement is the signed written contract specific to that engagement, and not these Terms.
