Terms of use
Last updated 7 October 2026.
These terms cover Seen From Outside, run from New South Wales, Australia (“we”). By using the service, you agree to them.
1. What the service is
A passive, point-in-time check of external configuration. Not a penetration test or vulnerability assessment, and not proof that the website is secure. Each report covers only the checks it lists, and says which checks could not be completed.
2. Your domains
By asking us to analyse a domain, you confirm that you own it or are authorised to have it checked. If that stops being true, tell us and we’ll stop analysing the domain. Unless we agree otherwise, you show control of it by publishing the DNS record we send you.
3. Acceptable use
Don’t use, or try to use, the service on domains you don’t control. Don’t try to get around the ownership check, the sign-in or the usage limits, don’t share your sign-in, and don’t interfere with the service.
4. Early access
Your first report is free during early access. Anything more, such as watching your domain, we agree with you separately, and if it would cost money, we’ll tell you the price first and you can decide whether to go ahead.
5. No guarantees
We work to keep the service running and the reports accurate. We don’t promise that it will always be available, that it will find every issue, or that the reports are free of errors. A report describes what the analyser saw at that moment, and decisions about your systems remain yours. Nothing in these terms limits rights you have under the Australian Consumer Law that can’t be excluded.
6. Ending your account
You can close your account at any time by emailing hello@seenfromoutside.com. We may suspend or close an account that breaks these terms, or close accounts if we stop the service. When an account is closed, sign-in stops and its sessions end straight away. What happens to your data is set out in our privacy notice.
7. Changes
We may update these terms. We’ll email account holders about significant changes, and the date at the top shows the current version.
8. Law
These terms are governed by the law of New South Wales, Australia.
