Terms of Service

Last updated: March 7, 2026

Welcome to VibeSniffer! These terms explain what we do, what you can expect, and what we expect from you. We've written this in normal human language — no legal jargon.

What VibeSniffer Is (And Isn't)

What We Are

VibeSniffer is a $4.99 code health assessment tool. We:

  • Scan your GitHub repos using pattern-based rules
  • Generate plain-English reports about code quality
  • Give your code a vibe score (A-F)
  • Help you spot potential issues and improvements

What We're NOT

  • Not a security audit — we're a quick health check, not a comprehensive security review
  • Not a guarantee — our scan might miss things or flag false positives
  • Not a replacement for proper testing — we complement good development practices, we don't replace them
  • Not responsible for your code decisions — you're the developer, you make the calls

Think of us like a code linter with personality — helpful insights, but you're still the expert on your own code.

How It Works

  1. You pay $4.99 for a scan credit
  2. You connect your GitHub account (OAuth, read-only access)
  3. You choose which repo to scan
  4. We analyze your code using 35 pattern-based rules
  5. We generate a report and delete your code
  6. You get insights to improve your code's vibe

Each payment gets you one scan of one repository. Want to scan multiple repos? You'll need multiple purchases.

Account Rules

Creating an Account

  • You need a valid GitHub account
  • You must be 13+ years old
  • You're responsible for keeping your login secure
  • One account per person

Using the Service

  • Be cool: Don't try to break our system or scan malicious code
  • One scan per payment: Each $4.99 gets you one repo scan
  • Respect rate limits: Don't hammer our API
  • No commercial exploitation: This is for individual developers, not enterprise scanning at scale

Payment Terms

The Deal

  • Price: $4.99 USD per repo scan
  • Payment: One-time purchase via Stripe
  • No subscriptions: Pay per scan, no recurring charges
  • No hidden fees: What you see is what you pay

Refund Policy

We want you to be happy, but refunds are tricky since our service is delivered instantly:

We'll refund you if:

  • Our system breaks and can't complete your scan
  • We charged you twice by mistake
  • Technical problems on our end prevent delivery

We probably won't refund if:

  • You don't like your vibe score (sorry!)
  • You scanned the wrong repo (double-check first!)
  • You change your mind after getting results
  • You expected different results than what our rules detect

How to request: Email support@vibesniffer.dev within 7 days with your transaction details.

Limitations & Disclaimers

Our Scanner Is Good But Not Perfect

  • We might miss real issues (false negatives)
  • We might flag things that aren't problems (false positives)
  • Our rules are patterns, not human judgment
  • Code quality is subjective — our vibe might differ from yours

You're Still Responsible

  • Review our suggestions before acting on them
  • Don't blindly follow our recommendations
  • You know your codebase better than we do
  • We're a tool to help, not a replacement for your judgment

Limitation of Liability

Look, we're a $4.99 tool run by a small team. We try hard to be useful, but:

  • Maximum liability: $4.99 (what you paid us)
  • No consequential damages: We're not liable if our scan results somehow cause bigger problems
  • No warranties: We provide the service "as is"
  • Use common sense: Don't bet your company on a $4.99 scan

This isn't us being jerks — it's us being realistic about what a cheap automated tool can and can't do.

Termination

You Can Leave Anytime

  • Just stop using the service
  • Revoke our GitHub access if you want
  • Email us to delete your account and data

We Might Ask You to Leave If

  • You violate these terms repeatedly
  • You try to abuse or attack our system
  • You use the service for illegal purposes
  • You're just generally being awful to our team

Contact & Support

Questions about these terms? Need help with the service?

  • Email: support@vibesniffer.dev
  • Response time: Usually within 24 hours on weekdays

The Human Version

We built VibeSniffer to help developers write better code. We charge $4.99 because running the service costs money, but we're not trying to get rich — we're trying to build something useful.

These terms boil down to: pay us, we'll scan your code and give you insights, don't be jerky to us or our systems. We'll do our best to provide a good service, but we're a small tool with reasonable limitations.

Thanks for using VibeSniffer. Now go make your code more vibey! 🚀
