Loading AppBully…
1. Who we are and this agreement
These Terms and Conditions govern your access to AppBully, including our website, public URL checks, connected app reviews, reports, fix prompts, integrations and related services (the Service). The Service is operated by Lightbulb Moment Labs, Inc., a Texas corporation (AppBully, we, us or our).
By agreeing to these Terms when presented to you, creating an account or using the Service after being given notice of these Terms, you agree to them. If you use the Service for an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind it, and “you” includes that organization. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
Important security notice: AppBully is a limited review tool, not a replacement for a security program or a guarantee against being hacked. Your app can still be compromised after a clear result or after you apply every recommendation. Read Section 3 (security limitations), Section 11 (disclaimers) and Section 12 (limits on liability) before relying on the Service.
Our Privacy Policy explains our personal information practices. It is a notice about data handling, not permission to disregard your privacy rights.
2. Eligibility and your account
You must be at least 18 years old and legally able to enter into this agreement. Provide accurate account information, protect your sign-in methods and integration credentials, and promptly notify us through the contact form if you suspect unauthorized access. You are responsible for activity you authorize through your account.
Accounts and access credentials must not be sold, transferred or shared in a way that bypasses user limits or access controls. You must comply with applicable laws and any restrictions that apply to your use of the Service.
3. No security guarantee or replacement for professional security
AppBully identifies potential issues in the material and systems included in a particular check. Depending on the feature, this may include public website files, selected repository source, dependency versions, database configuration, public policy documents or screenshots. Each report describes its scope and limitations.
Checks can be incomplete, delayed or inaccurate. They can miss vulnerabilities and report issues that do not apply. A “clear” result, score, meter, badge or resolved finding applies only to the observations and scope of that check. It is not a security certification, compliance determination, guarantee against an incident or endorsement of an app.
APPBULLY DOES NOT GUARANTEE THAT YOUR WEBSITE, APPLICATION, CODE, DATABASE, ACCOUNTS OR INFRASTRUCTURE ARE SECURE OR WILL NOT BE HACKED. A check cannot establish the absence of vulnerabilities. Fixing every reported issue does not eliminate the possibility of unauthorized access, a data breach, credential theft, malware, ransomware, fraud, data loss or service disruption.
The Service supplements, and does not replace, secure development, qualified security professionals, independent security assessments or penetration testing, access controls, patching, monitoring, tested backups and an incident-response plan. It is not a managed security service, continuous threat-monitoring service, emergency incident-response service or cyber insurance.
Results are limited to the material, permissions, supported checks and conditions available when a check runs. Unchecked files, private or authenticated flows, runtime behavior, infrastructure, third-party services, newly discovered vulnerabilities and subsequent changes may create risks that a report does not identify. Automatic rechecks do not mean continuous monitoring or a promise that we will detect or notify you of every issue.
You are responsible for deciding whether a check is appropriate for your needs, evaluating its limitations, obtaining additional reviews when necessary and maintaining the security of systems you control. Do not use a report as your sole basis for launching an app, handling sensitive information or deciding that no further security work is needed. If you suspect a compromise, obtain qualified incident-response help promptly; do not wait for another AppBully check or support response.
This is not legal advice. Please consult a real lawyer. Legal checks flag observable document issues and questions for review; they do not determine whether policies are enforceable or whether you comply with any law. No attorney-client relationship is created. Design feedback is contextual and subjective and does not establish accessibility compliance or business results.
AI-generated explanations and fix prompts may contain errors. Review and test changes, maintain backups, and obtain qualified advice when appropriate before applying a recommendation. You remain responsible for your systems, deployments, legal documents and decisions.
Bully styles change tone, including the use of explicit language, but do not change the meaning of these Terms or expand the scope of a check. Humor is directed at product work and is not permission to harass people.
5. Acceptable use
Do not use the Service to access systems without permission, exploit vulnerabilities, steal credentials, distribute malware, infringe intellectual property or privacy rights, or facilitate unlawful activity. Do not harass, threaten or impersonate others.
Do not bypass authentication, rate limits, subscription restrictions, tenant boundaries or other safeguards; interfere with the Service; probe AppBully itself without authorization; or extract information belonging to other customers. Report suspected vulnerabilities through the contact form without including unnecessary sensitive data.
We may investigate suspected misuse and restrict requests or access to protect the Service, our providers and other people.
6. Your content and our intellectual property
You retain your rights in your source code, app content, profiles and other material you provide. You grant us a nonexclusive right to access, copy, transmit and process that material only as needed to provide, secure, maintain and support the Service, fulfill your instructions and comply with law.
You may use reports and fix prompts provided to your account for your own work, subject to third-party rights and the limitations in these Terms. AI-generated output may not be unique and may not qualify for intellectual property protection. We do not promise ownership or exclusivity in such output.
AppBully’s software, branding, mascot, illustrations and other original Service materials belong to us or our licensors. These Terms grant you a limited, revocable right to use the Service as offered, not ownership of those materials. You may not imply our endorsement or remove proprietary notices.
If you send suggestions about the Service, we may use them without an obligation to compensate you. This does not give us ownership of your app or permission to publish private customer material.
8. Providers, assistants and integrations
Third-party services, including sign-in providers, code hosts, database platforms and coding assistants, have their own terms and privacy practices. Their availability, permissions and API changes may affect AppBully.
When you authorize an assistant or MCP connection, that connection may access the AppBully data and actions permitted by its grant. Protect its credentials, review what you authorize and revoke access when no longer needed. An assistant’s use of information it receives is also governed by your relationship with its provider.
We are not responsible for independent third-party services, but this does not exclude responsibilities that applicable law places on us for our own processing or selected service providers.
9. Beta access, plans and payment
Beta and preview features may change, become unavailable or be discontinued. Free access and testing invitations do not guarantee permanent access, future pricing or continued availability of a feature.
If we offer a paid plan, the price, billing frequency, included usage, renewal arrangements and applicable cancellation or refund terms will be disclosed before you purchase. We will not charge a recurring subscription without your authorization. Additional purchase terms apply only when presented and accepted as required by law.
Nothing in these Terms removes mandatory cancellation, refund or other consumer rights. Contact us through the contact form about billing questions.
10. Suspension, closure and changes to the Service
You may stop using AppBully, revoke integrations and request account deletion through the contact form. Archiving an app is not the same as deleting its data. Data handling after closure is described in the Privacy Policy.
We may suspend or terminate access for a material breach, suspected unauthorized activity, legal requirements or a risk to the Service or others. Where reasonably practicable and appropriate, we will provide notice and an opportunity to resolve the issue. Immediate action may be necessary for security or legal reasons.
We may modify or discontinue features. Applicable paid commitments and mandatory legal rights remain subject to their terms. Provisions that by their nature should continue, including ownership, limitations of liability and dispute provisions, survive termination.
11. Disclaimers
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Service is provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied or statutory, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title and noninfringement.
We do not warrant uninterrupted or error-free operation, complete detection, accurate AI output, legal compliance or that applying recommendations will prevent harm. We do not undertake to prevent, detect, stop or remediate every attack or incident, and we do not promise to reimburse losses merely because a reviewed system is later compromised. No report, support response or marketing statement creates a guarantee beyond an express written commitment we make.
These disclaimers do not exclude warranties or rights that cannot lawfully be excluded, including applicable consumer guarantees.
12. Limits on liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, neither party will be liable to the other for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages, or lost profits, revenue, business opportunities or goodwill arising from these Terms or the Service.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, our total liability for claims arising from or relating to the Service will not exceed the greater of US $100 or the amounts you paid us for the Service during the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim.
Subject to the exceptions below and to the fullest extent permitted by law, the exclusions and aggregate liability cap in this section also apply to claims involving missed vulnerabilities, inaccurate or incomplete findings, reliance on a clear result, or the use of suggested fixes, including claims for losses resulting from hacking, unauthorized access, data exposure or loss, ransomware, downtime, investigation, restoration, notification or third-party claims. The occurrence of an incident after a check does not, by itself, establish that AppBully breached these Terms or owes compensation.
These Terms do not transfer our own legal duties to you, excuse us from legally required safeguards for information we process, or waive rights and remedies that cannot lawfully be waived. Whether liability exists in a particular incident depends on the facts and applicable law.
These limits apply regardless of the legal theory and even if a party was advised that such damage could occur. They do not limit liability for fraud, willful misconduct, gross negligence, death or personal injury caused by negligence, or any liability that cannot be limited under applicable law. Mandatory consumer remedies remain available.
13. Governing law and disputes
Texas law, excluding its conflict-of-law rules, governs these Terms except where mandatory law provides otherwise. Subject to applicable consumer rights, disputes may be brought in the state or federal courts in Texas that have jurisdiction, and the parties consent to personal jurisdiction there.
Before filing a claim, you and we are encouraged to try to resolve the dispute through the contact form. This does not delay urgent relief or applicable filing deadlines. These Terms do not impose mandatory arbitration or waive class-action rights.
If you are a consumer entitled to bring proceedings in your home jurisdiction or to rely on mandatory protections there, nothing in this section removes those rights.
14. Changes and general terms
We may update these Terms. We will update the date above and provide notice of material changes through the Service or another appropriate channel before they take effect when required. Where a change requires renewed agreement, we will obtain it. Changes do not retroactively alter accrued rights without a lawful basis.
If a provision is unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in effect. A failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign this agreement without our consent; we may assign it in connection with a merger, reorganization or transfer of the relevant business, subject to applicable law.
These Terms and any additional terms you validly accept for a specific feature are the agreement for that use of AppBully. Questions, notices and requests should be directed to Lightbulb Moment Labs, Inc. through the contact form.
