Terms of Service

Effective Date: July 23, 2026 Last Updated: July 23, 2026

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of samithota.com (the “Site”), operated by Samit Hota. By accessing or using the Site, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site.

Description of the Site

The Site publishes security research, advisories, threat intelligence, and related content, and provides certain interactive tools for informational and educational purposes. The Site also describes independent security advisory/consulting services; engaging those services is governed by a separate agreement negotiated directly with Samit Hota, not by these Terms.

Content Is Informational, Not Advice

Blog posts, advisories, adversary profiles, indicators of compromise, and any other published content are provided for general informational and educational purposes only. They do not constitute professional security, legal, or compliance advice tailored to your specific systems or circumstances, and reading this content does not create an advisory, consulting, or client relationship of any kind. Some content may be drafted with the assistance of automated tools; while reasonable care is taken, no guarantee is made as to completeness or absolute accuracy, and it should not be the sole basis for a security decision.

Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

  • Use any interactive tool on the Site against any system, domain, or asset you do not own or do not have explicit, documented authorization to test
  • Use the Site to violate any applicable law or regulation
  • Attempt to interfere with, disrupt, or gain unauthorized access to the Site or its underlying infrastructure
  • Scrape, harvest, or reproduce Site content at scale without permission
  • Misrepresent your identity or affiliation when using any interactive feature of the Site

You are solely responsible for ensuring your use of any tool on this Site complies with applicable law and any authorization requirements of the systems you interact with.

Intellectual Property

Unless otherwise noted, all content on the Site — including text, research, and original graphics — is the property of Samit Hota and protected by applicable intellectual property laws. You may quote or share brief excerpts with clear attribution and a link back to the original source. Reproducing, republishing, or commercially redistributing substantial portions of the content without prior written permission is not permitted.

The Site may reference, cite, or link to third-party sources, tools, or websites. These are provided for convenience and context; we do not control and are not responsible for the content, accuracy, or practices of any third-party site.

Disclaimer of Warranties

The Site and all content and tools on it are provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including but not limited to warranties of accuracy, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Site will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure.

Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Samit Hota shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of data, revenue, or business opportunity, arising out of or related to your use of, or inability to use, the Site or its content, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.

Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Samit Hota from any claims, damages, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of your use of the Site in violation of these Terms or applicable law.

Changes to the Site or These Terms

We may update, modify, or discontinue any part of the Site, or these Terms, at any time. Material changes to these Terms will be reflected by updating the “Last Updated” date above. Continued use of the Site after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of India, without regard to its conflict-of-law provisions.

Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.
