Terms of Service

Halden provides a desktop workspace and web account service for running local security checks on registered project folders and preparing supported user-authorized fixes.

You are responsible for choosing which local folders to scan and for making sure you have the right to inspect and modify those projects.

Some features require a Halden account. You are responsible for keeping your account and OAuth provider access secure.

You may not use Halden to abuse the service, bypass license limits, interfere with the service, or access another person's account or data.

You may permanently delete your account from the dashboard. Deletion closes Halden access and removes that account's Halden local app metadata after the desktop verifies the deletion, but it does not delete or rewrite your local project files or itself create a refund; payment records may be retained as described in the Privacy Policy.

Starter access includes one local project and one active desktop device for the signed-in account.

Halden Lifetime is a $59 one-time license that unlocks additional local projects and up to three active desktop devices for the same account.

Halden Lifetime has no recurring subscription. It provides access to the Lifetime plan for as long as Halden is commercially operated, including maintenance, security, and compatibility updates for features included in that plan. Separately sold products, services, and add-ons are not included unless expressly stated.

Project and device limits are enforced in the desktop interface, desktop command boundary, and web license service. Updating an already-added project does not count as adding a new project.

Halden uses Stripe for checkout and payment processing. Prices are shown before checkout.

Halden offers a voluntary full refund for Lifetime purchases requested within 14 days after the Lifetime payment is completed, no questions asked. This voluntary guarantee is in addition to, and does not limit, any mandatory rights available under applicable consumer law.

Outside this 14-day window, Lifetime purchases are non-refundable, except where applicable law requires otherwise.

To request a refund, contact Halden at hello@gethalden.com.

A refunded Lifetime purchase ends Lifetime access, and the account returns to Starter. If a card issuer upholds a chargeback or payment dispute on a Lifetime purchase, Halden may likewise end Lifetime access and return the account to Starter.

Halden can suggest local file fixes such as moving detected values into env files, editing gitignore files, creating missing env templates, updating AI ignore files, updating Claude local settings, or changing Git tracking.

Halden writes project files only after you choose an action such as an individual Fix, saving an env file, or installing/removing pre-commit protection.

You are responsible for reviewing suggested fixes, keeping backups where appropriate, and confirming that your project still works after user-approved changes.

If a key, token, credential, or env file may already have been exposed, moving the value locally is not enough. You should rotate the affected key with the provider and review git history or other published copies.

Halden may stop Git from tracking a file when you choose that fix, but it does not rewrite git history or force-push to your repository.

Halden is a security helper, not a guarantee that a project is safe.

Halden may miss secrets, classify values incorrectly, or fail to identify all places where a secret was exposed.

You remain responsible for your own security review, provider key rotation, deployment configuration, repository history, and compliance obligations.

Do not use Halden to scan projects you are not authorized to inspect.

Do not attempt to reverse engineer, disrupt, overload, or bypass Halden's account, licensing, checkout, or authentication systems except where allowed by applicable law.

Do not submit secrets, passwords, API keys, or confidential source code through support channels unless Halden explicitly provides a secure process for that purpose.

Halden may change, suspend, or discontinue parts of the desktop app, web account service, licensing system, pricing, or provider integrations.

If Halden is discontinued, Halden will give Lifetime users advance notice where reasonably practicable and preserve any remedies required by applicable law.

Halden relies on third-party services such as Supabase for authentication and account data, and Stripe for payments.

Your use of OAuth providers, payment services, package managers, API providers, repositories, and cloud platforms may also be governed by their own terms.

Halden is provided as is and as available to the fullest extent allowed by law.

Halden does not promise that the app will detect every issue, prevent every leak, work with every framework, run without interruption, or meet every security, legal, or compliance requirement.

To the fullest extent allowed by law, Halden will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, including lost profits, lost data, leaked secrets, service interruption, or provider charges.

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so parts of this section may not apply to you.

Halden's handling of account, license, device activation, payment-reference, and local project data is described in the Privacy Policy.

Do not use Halden if you do not agree to these Terms. Review the Privacy Policy before creating or continuing to use an account.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Estonia. Any disputes shall be resolved in the courts of Tallinn, Estonia. If you are an EU consumer, you retain the right to bring proceedings in your country of residence.

Halden is operated by fromzeroagain OÜ (registry code 17447933), registered at Sepapaja tn 6, 15551 Tallinn, Harju Maakond, Estonia.
