Important — Limitation of Accuracy

DepTools provides dependency analysis, security scoring, and vulnerability detection on a best-effort basis. Our results are generated automatically from publicly available data sources (including the NVD) and heuristic scoring models.

We cannot guarantee the completeness, accuracy, or timeliness of our analysis results. Vulnerabilities may go undetected, scores may not reflect the latest information, and our assessments do not constitute professional security audits.

Any decision made — technical, legal, or otherwise — based on information provided by DepTools must be independently verified before being acted upon. Do not rely solely on our results for critical security or compliance decisions.

1. Description of Service

DepTools is a software dependency analysis platform that allows developers and organizations to:

  • Connect their code repositories via GitHub
  • Analyze dependency manifests to build a complete dependency graph
  • Receive automated health, security, and maintenance scores for each dependency
  • Identify known security vulnerabilities (CVEs) in their dependency tree

The service is provided "as is" and "as available". We do not guarantee uninterrupted availability and reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the service at any time with reasonable notice.

Project visibility

The visibility of a project on DepTools mirrors its visibility on GitHub: repositories that are public on GitHub generate an analysis dashboard accessible to anyone without authentication at a publicly reachable URL on deptools.io — including the dependency graph, health scores, and vulnerability information. Private repositories are never exposed publicly. You are solely responsible for the visibility of your repositories on GitHub and its consequences on DepTools.

2. Eligibility and Accounts

To use DepTools, you must:

  • Be at least 16 years of age
  • Provide accurate and complete registration information
  • Maintain the security of your account credentials
  • Not create accounts for third parties without their consent

You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account. You must notify us immediately at legal@deptools.io if you suspect unauthorized access to your account.

If you use DepTools on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have the authority to bind that organization to these Terms. The organization is then considered the account holder and is responsible for all activity occurring under its account, including the actions of any individuals accessing the service through the organization's account.

3. Plans and Pricing

DepTools offers the following subscription plans:

PlanPriceKey limits
Free$0Up to 10 public repositories
Open Source Max$19/mo or $199/yrUnlimited public repositories
Pro$39/mo or $399/yrUnlimited public + 3 private repositories included (+$5/mo per additional private repo)

Prices are listed in USD and are subject to change. Any pricing change will be communicated to active subscribers at least 30 days in advance. Payments are processed by Lemon Squeezy, which acts as the merchant of record. By subscribing, you also agree to Lemon Squeezy's Terms of Service.

Automatic renewal. All paid subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each billing period (monthly or annual) until cancelled. You can cancel at any time via the Lemon Squeezy customer portal; cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period, with no further charges.

Failed payments. In the event of a failed payment, your subscription will enter a grace period of approximately 14 days during which access remains active and payment retries are attempted automatically. If payment is not resolved within this period, access to the service will be suspended until the outstanding balance is settled. You will be notified by email throughout this process.

4. Free Trial and Refund Policy

Free trial

Paid plans include a 14-day free trial. No payment is charged during the trial period. You may cancel at any time before the trial ends without any charge. After 14 days, your subscription will automatically convert to a paid plan.

Refunds

Given that a free trial is provided prior to any charge, all payments are final and non-refundable once the trial period has ended and billing has commenced.

In accordance with French consumer law (Article L221-28 of the Code de la consommation), by starting your subscription and using the service immediately following the trial, you expressly waive your right of withdrawal for the paid subscription period.

5. Plan Downgrades and Data Deletion

When you downgrade your subscription plan, the following rules apply:

Pro → any lower plan

Access to all private repositories is immediately revoked. Private repository data (metadata, analysis results) is permanently deleted. Only the Pro plan includes access to private repositories.

Open Source Max → Free

The Free plan is limited to 10 public repositories. If you have more than 10, repositories exceeding the limit will be automatically deleted, starting with those that have the oldest last scan date, until the limit is reached.

We recommend reviewing your repository list and exporting any data you wish to keep before initiating a downgrade. Deleted data cannot be recovered.

6. Acceptable Use

You agree not to use DepTools to:

  • Violate any applicable laws or regulations
  • Analyze repositories you do not own or are not authorized to access
  • Attempt to reverse-engineer, scrape, or abuse our API or infrastructure
  • Circumvent plan limits or access controls through technical means
  • Resell or sublicense access to the service without written authorization
  • Transmit malicious code or interfere with the service's availability

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these rules without prior notice.

7. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless DepTools SAS and its officers, employees, and agents from and against any claims, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or relating to your use of the service in violation of these Terms, applicable law, or the rights of any third party — including claims arising from the analysis of repositories you are not authorized to access.

8. Intellectual Property

DepTools platform

The DepTools platform, including its software, interface, algorithms, and branding, is the exclusive property of DepTools SAS. Nothing in these Terms grants you any ownership rights in the platform.

Your data and repositories

You retain all ownership rights to your repositories and source code. By connecting a repository to DepTools, you grant us a limited, non-exclusive license to access and process the necessary dependency manifest files solely for the purpose of providing the analysis service. We do not claim ownership of your data.

To connect your repositories, DepTools requests the following GitHub permissions: read:user, user:email, read:org (OAuth), and via our GitHub App: repository contents and metadata (read-only), and organization members (read-only). We request only the minimum permissions required to provide the service.

GitHub access tokens

GitHub access tokens are stored securely for the duration of your account and are permanently deleted upon account deletion. Revoking GitHub access via GitHub's own settings does not automatically delete your data from DepTools. To remove your data, you must delete your account from your DepTools account settings.

Analysis results

The dependency graphs, scores, and analysis reports generated from your repositories are made available to you for your own use. We may use anonymized and aggregated data for internal product improvement purposes only.

9. Third-Party Services

DepTools integrates with third-party services including GitHub and Lemon Squeezy. Your use of those services is governed by their own terms:

We are not responsible for the availability, content, or practices of any third-party service.

10. Disclaimer of Warranties

The service is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranty of any kind, express or implied. To the fullest extent permitted by law, DepTools SAS disclaims all warranties, including but not limited to:

  • Fitness for a particular purpose or compliance requirement
  • Uninterrupted, error-free, or secure operation
  • Accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of analysis results and vulnerability data
  • Detection of all security vulnerabilities present in analyzed dependencies

DepTools is a decision-support tool. It does not replace a professional security audit. All outputs must be independently reviewed before being used as the basis for any technical, legal, or compliance decision.

11. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, DepTools SAS shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including but not limited to loss of data, loss of profits, or damages resulting from:

  • Reliance on analysis results, security scores, or vulnerability information provided by DepTools
  • Service interruptions or data loss
  • Unauthorized access to your account or data
  • Actions or omissions of third-party services we integrate with

In any case, DepTools SAS's total liability to you for any claim arising from the use of the service shall not exceed the amount you paid to DepTools in the twelve (12) months preceding the event giving rise to the claim.

12. Force Majeure

DepTools SAS shall not be liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations resulting from causes beyond its reasonable control, including but not limited to GitHub service outages, third-party infrastructure failures, internet disruptions, natural disasters, acts of government, or any other event outside our reasonable control. In such cases, our obligations are suspended for the duration of the event.

13. Account Termination

By you

You may delete your account at any time from your account settings. Upon deletion, all your personal data and repository data will be immediately and permanently removed, except where retention is required by law. Active paid subscriptions must be cancelled beforehand through the Lemon Squeezy customer portal.

By DepTools

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your account without prior notice in the event of a material breach of these Terms, fraudulent activity, or conduct that poses a risk to other users or to the integrity of the service. Where possible, we will notify you by email before taking action.

14. Data Retention

We retain your data only for as long as necessary to provide the service. The following retention periods apply:

  • Account and repository data: retained for the duration of your account and permanently deleted upon account deletion.
  • GitHub access tokens: retained for the duration of your account and permanently deleted upon account deletion.
  • Server logs: retained for a maximum of 90 days for security and debugging purposes, then permanently deleted.

For more details on how we process your personal data, please refer to our Privacy Policy.

15. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. For significant changes, registered users will be notified by email at least 14 days before the changes take effect. Continued use of the service after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

16. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms are governed by French law. Any dispute arising from or relating to these Terms or the use of the service that cannot be resolved amicably shall be submitted to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Tribunal de Commerce de Paris.

17. General Provisions

Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and DepTools SAS regarding the service and supersede any prior agreements, representations, or understandings.

Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, that provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, and the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.

Assignment

DepTools SAS may assign its rights and obligations under these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, without your prior consent. You may not assign your rights or obligations under these Terms without our prior written consent.

No Waiver

Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not be considered a waiver of those rights.
