You are responsible for ensuring that your use of RootBrief to monitor your n8n instance complies with any applicable data protection laws governing the data processed within your workflows.

You retain all rights to your data. By using the Service, you grant RootBrief a limited license to process your data solely to provide the Service.

9. Service Availability

We aim to maintain high availability but do not guarantee uninterrupted service. We may perform scheduled maintenance with advance notice. We are not liable for losses resulting from service downtime, data loss, or service interruptions beyond our reasonable control.

10. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE ERROR-FREE, SECURE, OR AVAILABLE AT ALL TIMES.

11. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ROOTBRIEF SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE THREE (3) MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM.

12. Monitoring Service Disclaimer

RootBrief is a monitoring and alerting service. It is designed to surface potential issues including workflow failures, cost anomalies, and suspicious activity patterns. RootBrief does not guarantee detection of all threats, does not prevent or block security incidents, and does not protect against data loss, credential theft, or unauthorized access.

Detection coverage depends on scan intervals, webhook delivery reliability, third-party API availability, and the accuracy of threat intelligence data. Alert timing is not guaranteed and may vary based on system load and configuration.

Users are solely responsible for securing their own infrastructure, responding to alerts, and taking appropriate remedial action. RootBrief shall not be held liable for any damages, losses, or costs resulting from undetected incidents, delayed alerts, false negatives, or false positives.

RootBrief's threat intelligence checks, including skill reputation data and known vulnerability patterns, are maintained on a best-effort basis and may not reflect the most current threat landscape at all times.

All incident simulations, example alerts, and scenario descriptions shown on the RootBrief website and dashboard are illustrative and do not represent guarantees of detection speed, accuracy, or coverage.

13. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless RootBrief and its operators from any claims, damages, or expenses arising from your use of the Service in violation of these Terms or any applicable law.

14. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your account immediately if you violate these Terms. Upon termination, your access to the Service ceases. Your data will be retained for 30 days and then deleted, unless legally required otherwise. You may request a data export within this period.

15. Changes to Terms

We may update these Terms at any time. We will notify registered users by email at least 14 days before material changes take effect. Your continued use of the Service after the effective date constitutes acceptance.

16. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by applicable law. Any disputes shall first be attempted to be resolved through good-faith negotiation. If unresolved, disputes shall be submitted to binding arbitration or a court of competent jurisdiction.
