Effective date: April 9, 2026
By accessing or using GateTest ("Service"), including the website at gatetest.io, the GateTest GitHub App, the GateTest CLI tool, and any associated APIs, you ("Customer", "you", "your") agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the Service.
If you are using the Service on behalf of an organisation, you represent and warrant that you have authority to bind that organisation to these Terms.
GateTest provides automated code quality scanning and analysis for software repositories. The Service includes static code analysis, security pattern detection, accessibility checking, performance analysis, and related quality assurance tools. The Service is an automated tool and does not constitute professional consulting, security auditing, legal compliance certification, or any form of professional advice.
3.1 Hold-then-charge model. When you purchase a scan, a hold (authorisation) is placed on your payment method for the full scan amount. The charge is captured only after the scan completes and results are delivered. If the scan cannot be completed due to access failure, service outage, or technical error on our part, the hold is released and no charge is made.
3.2 Currency and processing. All prices are in US Dollars (USD). Payments are processed by Stripe, Inc. We do not store, process, or have access to your full credit card number. By providing payment information, you represent that you are authorised to use the payment method provided.
3.3 Price changes. We reserve the right to change pricing at any time. Price changes do not affect scans already purchased. Current pricing is displayed on our website at the time of purchase and constitutes the binding price for that transaction.
3.4 Taxes. Prices are exclusive of applicable taxes. You are responsible for any sales tax, VAT, GST, or similar taxes applicable in your jurisdiction.
4.1 Grant of access. To perform a scan, you grant GateTest temporary, limited, read-only access to the specified repository solely for the purpose of performing the requested quality analysis. This access terminates immediately upon scan completion.
4.2 Auto-fix access. For tiers that include auto-fix functionality, you additionally grant GateTest permission to create branches and submit pull requests to the specified repository. GateTest will never merge pull requests automatically — all merges require your explicit approval.
4.3 Authorisation warranty. You represent and warrant that (a) you own the repository or have explicit authorisation from the owner to scan it, (b) scanning the repository does not violate any agreement, law, or third-party right, and (c) the repository does not contain content that is illegal in your jurisdiction. You agree to indemnify and hold harmless GateTest from any claims arising from your breach of this warranty.
4.4 Prohibited use. You may not use the Service to scan repositories you do not own or have permission to scan. You may not use the Service to identify vulnerabilities in code for the purpose of exploiting them. You may not use the Service in any manner that violates applicable law.
5.1 Your code. You retain all ownership and intellectual property rights in your source code. GateTest does not claim any ownership of your code. We do not use your code for any purpose other than performing the requested scan.
5.2 Scan reports. Scan reports generated by GateTest are licensed to you for your internal use. You may share reports within your organisation. You may not resell GateTest reports as a standalone service.
5.3 Our Service. GateTest, its modules, algorithms, reports, website, and all associated intellectual property are owned by GateTest and its operators. These Terms do not grant you any rights to our intellectual property beyond the limited right to use the Service as described.
THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.
6.1 GateTest is an automated scanning tool. A passing scan result DOES NOT constitute a guarantee, warranty, certification, or representation that your code is free of bugs, security vulnerabilities, compliance issues, or defects of any kind.
6.2 GateTest does not guarantee that it will detect all issues in your code. No automated tool can identify every possible defect. The Service is a supplement to — not a replacement for — professional code review, manual testing, security audits, penetration testing, and compliance assessments.
6.3 We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free, or that defects will be corrected.
For tiers that include auto-fix functionality, GateTest generates automated code modifications and submits them as pull requests. YOU ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR REVIEWING, TESTING, AND APPROVING ALL AUTO-FIX CHANGES BEFORE MERGING THEM INTO YOUR CODEBASE. GateTest does not guarantee that auto-fix changes are correct, complete, free of side effects, or suitable for your use case. Auto-fix changes may introduce new bugs, break existing functionality, or cause data loss. By using auto-fix, you accept full responsibility for any consequences of merging auto-generated code changes.
The AI-powered code review module uses third-party AI services (Anthropic Claude) to analyse code. AI analysis is probabilistic in nature and may produce false positives (flagging non-issues), false negatives (missing real issues), or incorrect suggestions. AI review results should be treated as suggestions requiring human verification, not as definitive assessments. GateTest is not responsible for any actions taken based on AI review output.
9.1 TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL GATETEST, ITS OPERATORS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, OR AFFILIATES BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES, GOODWILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICE, REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF LIABILITY (CONTRACT, TORT, STRICT LIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE) AND EVEN IF GATETEST HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
9.2TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, GATETEST'S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THE SERVICE SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU ACTUALLY PAID TO GATETEST FOR THE SPECIFIC SCAN OR SERVICE GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM.
9.3 Without limiting the above, GateTest shall have no liability for: (a) any bugs, security breaches, data loss, downtime, or damages occurring in code that has been scanned by GateTest, whether the scan passed or failed; (b) any consequences of merging auto-fix pull requests; (c) any actions taken or not taken based on scan results or AI review output; (d) any third-party claims related to your code or repositories.
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless GateTest and its operators from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from or related to: (a) your use of the Service; (b) your breach of these Terms; (c) your violation of any law or third-party right; (d) any repository content you submit for scanning; (e) any dispute between you and a third party related to code scanned by GateTest.
You agree not to:
12.1 We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service at any time, with or without cause, with or without notice. Grounds for termination include but are not limited to violation of these Terms, abusive behaviour, fraudulent payment activity, or actions that harm the Service or its users.
12.2 Upon termination, your right to use the Service ceases immediately. Sections 5 (Intellectual Property), 6 (Disclaimers), 7 (Auto-Fix Disclaimer), 8 (AI Disclaimer), 9 (Limitation of Liability), 10 (Indemnification), and 13 (Governing Law) survive termination.
13.1 These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of New Zealand, without regard to conflict of law principles.
13.2 Any dispute arising from or relating to these Terms or the Service shall be resolved exclusively in the courts of New Zealand, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of such courts.
13.3 Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits any consumer rights that cannot be excluded or limited under New Zealand law, including the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 where applicable.
Installation of the GateTest GitHub App constitutes acceptance of these Terms. The App receives webhook events (push, pull request) and reads repository contents solely for automated scanning. You can revoke access at any time by uninstalling the App from your GitHub account or organisation settings. Uninstallation terminates our access immediately.
The GateTest CLI tool is provided free of charge under the MIT License and is provided "AS IS" without warranty of any kind, express or implied. The full MIT License terms apply. Use of the CLI tool is entirely at your own risk.
If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, that provision shall be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.
These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and Refund Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and GateTest regarding the Service and supersede all prior agreements, communications, and understandings.
We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. Material changes will be communicated via email or prominent notice on our website at least 14 days before taking effect. Continued use of the Service after the effective date of changes constitutes acceptance of the modified Terms.
