3. Description of Service

Glitch Range provides a platform for attack/defense cybersecurity training, testing, and competition. The Service includes, without limitation, cloud-hosted range environments, documentation, APIs, user interfaces, and related tools and features. The scope, availability, and features of the Service may change at any time at our sole discretion. We do not guarantee that any particular feature or functionality will remain available.

By using the Service, you represent and warrant that you meet these requirements. You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activities that occur under your account. You must provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration and keep such information updated. You must promptly notify us of any unauthorized access or use of your account. We are not liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to protect your credentials or from any unauthorized use of your account. You may not transfer, assign, or share your account with any third party without our prior written consent.

5. User Content and Intellectual Property

5.1 Ownership of User Content. You retain all right, title, and interest in and to any User Content you upload or submit to the Service, subject to the license grants set forth below and elsewhere in this Agreement.

5.2 Private Services. For User Content that you maintain as private and use solely for your own testing or internal purposes (i.e., not made public and not shared with other users), you retain full intellectual property rights. So long as such content remains set to private and is not shared or made public, Glitch Range does not claim any ownership or license to re-distribute that content, and your intellectual property rights in that content are preserved.

5.3 Public or Shared Services. If you choose to make any User Content public, share it with other users, or otherwise make it available beyond your private use, you hereby grant Glitch Range a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive, sublicensable, and transferable license to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, display, distribute, and re-distribute such User Content in connection with the Service and our business, without restriction and without any obligation to compensate or attribute you. This license includes the right to host, cache, and serve such content to other users, to incorporate it into range environments, and to allow other users to use it. By making User Content public or shared, you represent and warrant that you have all rights necessary to grant this license and that such content does not infringe any third-party rights.

5.4 License to Operate. Regardless of visibility settings, you grant Glitch Range a limited license to use, process, and store your User Content as necessary to provide the Service to you (e.g., building, hosting, and running your ranges).

6. Acceptable Use

You agree to use the Service only for lawful purposes and in accordance with this Agreement and all applicable local, state, national, and international laws and regulations. You must not use the Service to: (a) violate any law or regulation; (b) infringe the intellectual property, privacy, or other rights of any third party; (c) transmit any malware, viruses, or other harmful code; (d) attempt to gain unauthorized access to any systems, networks, or accounts; (e) interfere with or disrupt the integrity or performance of the Service or any data contained therein; (f) use the Service for any purpose that is fraudulent, abusive, or otherwise objectionable; or (g) resell, sublicense, or commercially exploit the Service in any manner not expressly permitted by this Agreement. We reserve the right to investigate suspected violations and to cooperate fully with law enforcement. Failure to comply with this section may result in immediate suspension or termination of your access and may expose you to civil and criminal liability.

7. Authorized Range Scope and Prohibited Activities

Attacks, scanning, and security testing are permitted only within the scope of the range environments expressly provided by Glitch Range for that purpose. Specifically, any attacks, probes, or scanning directed outside of the designated range environments—including any targets outside the 10.100.0.0/16 subnet within the Glitch Range VPN—are strictly not authorized and are expressly prohibited. Conducting or attempting to conduct such activities constitutes a material breach of this Agreement. We may monitor for such activity and, upon detection, may immediately terminate your access, delete your data, and report the activity to appropriate law enforcement or regulatory authorities. You assume full responsibility and liability for any unauthorized access or attack activity conducted by you or through your account.

8. No Resale or Unauthorized Distribution

Services, access, and offerings provided by Glitch Range are for your personal or internal use only. You may not resell, sublicense, redistribute, white-label, or otherwise offer the Service or any component thereof to third parties without our prior explicit written authorization. This prohibition includes, without limitation, range hosting, access credentials, APIs, and any derivative or bundled offering. Any attempted assignment or transfer in violation of this section is void. We may offer separate commercial or partnership arrangements at our sole discretion.

9. No Availability or Performance Guarantee

Glitch Range does not provide any guarantee, representation, or warranty regarding the availability, uptime, performance, or continuity of the Service. The Service is provided “as is” and may be subject to scheduled or unscheduled maintenance, outages, degradation, or discontinuation at any time without prior notice. We are not liable for any loss, damage, or inconvenience resulting from the unavailability, interruption, or failure of the Service, including but not limited to loss of data, loss of access to ranges, or inability to complete training or competitions. You are responsible for maintaining your own backups of any critical data and for planning around potential service interruptions.

10. Third-Party and Open-Source Components

The Service and individual services, challenges, and software components offered through Glitch Range may incorporate or depend upon third-party or open-source software. Such components may be subject to their own licenses (e.g., MIT, Apache, GPL). Those license terms are available upon request. Your use of those components may be subject to their respective license terms in addition to this Agreement. We do not warrant the compliance or compatibility of any third-party or open-source component, and we are not responsible for any claims arising from such components. To the extent any such license requires us to make source code or modifications available, we will comply with those requirements; otherwise, our obligations are limited to this Agreement.

IN NO EVENT SHALL OUR AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE SERVICE EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM, OR (B) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS ($100). THE LIMITATIONS IN THIS SECTION APPLY WHETHER THE ALLEGED LIABILITY IS BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, OR ANY OTHER THEORY.
