Terms of Service

Last updated: May 9, 2026

Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using WP Scan at wp-scan.org ("Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the Service.

Operator

WP Scan is operated by Rajan Gupta, an individual developer ("I", "me"). This Service is independently operated and is not affiliated with or offered by a registered company or legal entity. References to "WP Scan" in these Terms refer to Rajan Gupta personally as the operator of this Service.

Description of Service

WP Scan is a static code-analysis tool that scans WordPress themes and plugins for known vulnerability patterns. It is provided for informational and defensive security purposes only. The Service does not guarantee that scanned code is free of all security issues, nor does it guarantee protection against any specific attack or threat.

Acceptable Use

You agree to use the Service only for lawful purposes and only to scan WordPress code that you own, have written, or have explicit written permission from the owner to analyse. You must not:

  • Scan code you do not own or lack authorisation to analyse
  • Upload files containing personally identifiable information about third parties
  • Attempt to reverse-engineer, circumvent, or abuse the scanning engine or rate limits
  • Use scan output to develop or improve offensive tools for unauthorised access to systems
  • Resell, sublicense, or redistribute the Service or its output without prior written consent
  • Deliberately overload, attack, or disrupt the Service infrastructure

License Keys

A license key is personal and non-transferable. It may be used on projects you own or manage. Sharing, reselling, or publicly disclosing your license key is prohibited and will result in immediate revocation of the key without refund.

Free Tier Limits

The free tier is rate-limited to 5 scans per hour and supports ZIP file uploads up to 20 MB. I reserve the right to adjust free-tier limits at any time to protect availability of the Service.

Payment & Billing

All prices are in USD. Payments are processed through PayPal.

Personal PayPal account: payments for WP Scan are received into a personal PayPal account operated by Rajan Gupta. By completing a purchase you acknowledge and accept this. PayPal's standard Buyer Protection applies to your transaction.

Monthly & yearly plans: subscription billing is managed through PayPal's recurring payment system. You may cancel at any time via your PayPal account; access continues until the end of your current billing period.

Lifetime plan: a one-time payment granting permanent access for as long as the Service is operated.

Refund Policy

14-day refund: if the Service fails to function as described on a standard hosting environment due to a defect on my side, you may request a full refund within 14 days of purchase by emailing support@wp-scan.org.

No refund situations: refunds are not issued for change-of-mind, incompatibility caused by a non-standard server configuration you control, failure to read what the Service does before purchasing, or where a scan has correctly identified issues in your code.

Approved refunds are processed via PayPal within 5–10 business days.

Intellectual Property

All code, design, detection patterns, and content of the Service are the property of Rajan Gupta and protected under applicable copyright law. You may not copy, reproduce, or redistribute any part of the Service without prior written permission.

Disclaimer of Warranties

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT. I DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL DETECT ALL SECURITY VULNERABILITIES IN YOUR CODE, NOR THAT IT IS FREE OF ERRORS OR UNINTERRUPTED.

Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, RAJAN GUPTA (OPERATOR OF WP SCAN) SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE. IN NO EVENT SHALL TOTAL LIABILITY EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID FOR THE SERVICE IN THE 12 MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM.

Modifications & Discontinuation

I reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service at any time. For paid subscribers, I will provide reasonable notice before discontinuing the Service and will offer a pro-rata refund for any remaining unused paid period.

Governing Law

These Terms are governed by applicable law. Any dispute arising from these Terms or your use of the Service shall first be attempted to be resolved by good-faith negotiation via email. If unresolved within 30 days, disputes may be submitted to appropriate legal proceedings.

Changes to These Terms

I may update these Terms at any time. The "last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of the Service after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the updated Terms.
