<h1>Terms of Use</h1>
<p class="meta">Effective date: 5 November 2026</p>

<p>By using testers.devtem.org you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.</p>

<h2>1. What this site is</h2>
<p>Dev Open-Test (DevTemple DOT) Community runs a public directory of testers who have passed community challenges, and a form to request one of them. The testers are independent community members. They are not our employees or agents unless we say so in writing.</p>

<h2>2. Authorised testing only</h2>
<p>You may only request testing for websites and systems that you own or have clear written permission to test. By submitting the form you confirm this. We and our testers will not test anything outside the scope agreed in writing. If you give us a false confirmation, you are responsible for the consequences.</p>

<h2>3. Acceptable use</h2>
<p>You must not use this site or our testers to:</p>
<ul>
  <li>Test, attack or probe systems you are not authorised to test</li>
  <li>Steal, expose or misuse data</li>
  <li>Build, spread or deploy malware, or exploit third parties</li>
  <li>Submit false, spam or automated requests</li>
  <li>Break the law or the rights of others</li>
</ul>
<p>We may refuse a request, remove a tester from the list or block access without notice if these rules are broken.</p>

<h2>4. Verified testers</h2>
<p>"Verified" means a tester passed our community challenge review at the time of listing. It is not a licence, certification or guarantee of results. We may remove a listing at any time, including for breaking the community rules.</p>

<h2>5. Scope, reports and fixes</h2>
<p>The tester agrees the scope with you before work starts. Reports describe what was found within that scope at that time. A report with no findings does not prove a system is secure or error free. You are responsible for deciding which fixes to apply and for backing up your systems before testing.</p>

<h2>6. Fees</h2>
<p>Using the site and sending a request is free. Any fee for testing work is agreed directly with the tester before the work begins.</p>

<h2>7. Intellectual property</h2>
<p>The site design, text and branding belong to Dev Open-Test (DevTemple DOT) Community unless stated otherwise. Tester names and profile pictures belong to their owners. Reports you receive belong to you once the work is complete and any agreed fee is paid. Findings must be handled responsibly and not published without your agreement, except where the law requires otherwise.</p>

<h2>8. No warranty</h2>
<p>The site and the directory are provided "as is" and "as available". We do not promise that the site will always be available, or that any tester will meet your needs, deadlines or expectations.</p>

<h2>9. Limit of liability</h2>
<p>To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect, incidental or consequential loss, loss of data, loss of profit or downtime arising from your use of the site or from work done by a tester. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot legally be limited.</p>

<h2>10. Third-party links</h2>
<p>The site links to services such as WhatsApp and GitHub. We do not control them and are not responsible for their content or practices.</p>

<h2>11. Privacy</h2>
<p>How we handle your personal information is explained in our <a href="/privacy.html">Privacy Policy</a>.</p>

<h2>12. Changes</h2>
<p>We may update these terms. Continuing to use the site after a change means you accept the updated terms.</p>

<h2>13. Governing law</h2>
<p>These terms are governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Disputes will be handled by the courts of Nigeria.</p>

<h2>14. Contact</h2>
<p>Questions about these terms: <b>figsh.official@devtem.org</b></p>
