01. Purpose & Acceptance
These Terms of Engagement ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the Principle Breach website and any information, content, materials, or services made available through it (collectively, the "Site"). The Site is operated by and under Adversary Holdings Private Limited, ("Principle Breach", "we", "us", or "our").
By using the Site, submitting a contact form, or otherwise interacting with us online, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, you must not use the Site.
02. Scope of Services & Separate Agreements
The Site describes our offensive security testing, red team operations, penetration testing, insider threat simulations, breach simulations, and security consulting services (collectively, "Services"). Any actual performance of Services is governed by one or more separately executed statements of work, engagement letters, or master services agreements (each an "SOW"), which outline the scope of work, payment terms, and other essential details for the specific engagement, not by this Site alone.
In the event of any conflict between these Terms and an SOW, the terms of the applicable SOW will control solely with respect to the Engagement covered by that SOW.
03. Authorization for Security Testing
Security testing can only be performed under a valid SOW and signed authorization from you (the "Client"). By entering into an Engagement, you represent and warrant that you have full legal authority to authorize testing on all in-scope systems, networks, applications, accounts, data, and other assets identified in the SOW.
Important
We will never conduct testing against any system, asset, or third party that has not been expressly authorized in writing. You are solely responsible for ensuring that all necessary internal and external consents, approvals, and permissions have been obtained before testing begins.
04. Rules of Engagement (RoE)
Each Engagement is governed by a mutually agreed Rules of Engagement ("RoE") that defines scope, objectives, permitted and forbidden techniques, testing windows, escalation paths, and emergency contacts. Both parties must comply with the RoE at all times. Any change to the RoE must be agreed in writing (including email) by both parties.
05. Use of the Site
You may use the Site only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms. You must not attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Site, our infrastructure, or any related systems, nor may you attempt to reverse engineer, decompile, or otherwise interfere with the operation of the Site.
Nothing on the Site constitutes an invitation or authorization to attack, test, or otherwise interfere with any third-party systems. Any such activity is strictly prohibited and may be unlawful.
06. Deliverables & Intellectual Property
Subject to full payment of all fees under the applicable SOW, you are granted a non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the reports, findings, recommendations, and other deliverables we provide to you ("Deliverables") for your internal business and compliance purposes.
We retain all intellectual property rights in our methodologies, processes, tools, templates, and know-how, including any generic, anonymized, or aggregated learnings derived from an Engagement. You must not disclose our Deliverables to third parties except as permitted under an SOW or required by law.
07. Confidentiality
During an Engagement, each party may receive confidential or proprietary information from the other party ("Confidential Information"). Each party agrees to protect the other's Confidential Information using reasonable technical and organizational measures and to use it only for the purposes of the Engagement or as otherwise permitted in an SOW.
Confidentiality obligations do not apply to information that is or becomes publicly available through no fault of the receiving party, was lawfully known to the receiving party before disclosure, is independently developed without use of Confidential Information, or is rightfully received from a third party without restriction.
