Terms of Service

Last updated: February 2026

Agreement

By using PathToShip (“the Service”), you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service. PathToShip is operated by Nathan Hart (“we,” “us,” “our”).

What the Service Does

PathToShip scans source code from public GitHub repositories for security vulnerabilities, production readiness issues, and other quality indicators. The Service provides automated findings and scores based on static analysis. It does not provide security certification, legal compliance verification, or guarantee that code is free of vulnerabilities.

Your Responsibilities

You agree that:

  • You will only scan repositories you own or have authorization to scan
  • You will not use the Service to probe or attack other people’s code
  • You will not attempt to overload, reverse-engineer, or circumvent rate limits
  • You will not use the Service for any illegal purpose
  • You understand scan results are informational and do not constitute professional security advice

Scan Results

Scan results are generated by automated static analysis. While we strive for accuracy:

  • Results may contain false positives (flagging issues that aren’t real vulnerabilities)
  • Results may miss real vulnerabilities (false negatives)
  • Scores are heuristic-based and should not be the sole basis for security decisions
  • We recommend professional security review for production applications handling sensitive data

Intellectual Property

You retain all rights to your source code. We do not claim any ownership or license over code you submit for scanning. As described in our Privacy Policy, we do not store your source code.

The PathToShip name, logo, scoring methodology, and scan report format are our intellectual property.

Aggregate Data

We may use anonymized, aggregate scan data (vulnerability trends, tool comparisons, framework statistics) for research and publication purposes. This data cannot be traced to individual repositories or users.

Availability and Changes

The Service is provided “as is” on a best-effort basis. We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service at any time. We aim to provide notice of significant changes but are not obligated to do so for a free service.

Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, PATHTOSHIP IS PROVIDED “AS IS” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND. WE ARE NOT LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO: SECURITY BREACHES IN YOUR APPLICATION, DECISIONS MADE BASED ON SCAN RESULTS, DOWNTIME OR UNAVAILABILITY, OR LOSS OF DATA.

Our total liability is limited to the amount you paid us (which, for the free tier, is zero).

Abuse and Termination

We reserve the right to block, rate-limit, or ban any user who abuses the Service, including but not limited to: automated mass scanning, denial-of-service attempts, or scanning repositories without authorization.

Governing Law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, United States. Any disputes will be resolved in the courts of the State of California.

Changes to Terms

We may update these terms. Changes take effect when posted. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance.
