Terms of Use

Last updated: 19 August 2026

These terms govern your use of the PostureAudit API ("the Service"), operated by SweedWorks LLC ("we", "us"). By subscribing to or calling the Service, you agree to them. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

1. What the Service is

The Service accepts a domain name and returns a diagnostic report on that domain's publicly published email authentication and transport security records — including SPF, DKIM, DMARC, MX, MTA-STS, TLS-RPT, BIMI and DNSSEC — together with a score and a summary of publicly documented bulk sender requirements.

The Service reads public DNS records and publicly published policy files. It does not send email, does not require credentials for any domain, and does not access any private system belonging to you or to the domain audited.

2. The Service is a diagnostic, not a guarantee

Results reflect what public DNS returned at the moment of the request. DNS changes, propagates unevenly, and can be answered differently by different resolvers.

We do not warrant that results are complete, accurate, current, or fit for any particular purpose. In particular:

• A result indicating that requirements are met is not a guarantee of message delivery, inbox placement, sender reputation, or compliance with any mailbox provider's rules. Those depend on the mail you send, which the Service cannot observe.
• Some checks cannot be verified from public DNS at all, and the Service marks these explicitly. You remain responsible for verifying them yourself.
• DKIM selectors cannot be enumerated from DNS. A result reporting no DKIM key found means none was found at the selectors probed, and is not proof that DKIM is unconfigured.

You are responsible for your own decisions about your email infrastructure. Do not rely on the Service as your only source of truth for anything that matters.

3. Acceptable use

You may audit any domain whose records are published publicly. You may not:

• use the Service to facilitate unlawful activity, or to plan or support unauthorised access to any system;
• use results to target, harass, or attack any domain, organisation, or person;
• attempt to circumvent quotas or rate limits, including by distributing requests across multiple accounts to exceed the limits of a single plan;
• resell or redistribute raw Service output as a substantially similar competing product;
• attempt to disrupt, overload, probe, or reverse engineer the Service or the infrastructure it runs on.

We may suspend or terminate access that we reasonably believe violates this section, without notice.

4. Plans, quotas and billing

Subscriptions, payment, invoicing, refunds and cancellation are handled by the marketplace through which you subscribe, under that marketplace's own terms. We do not process your payment details and do not store them.

Each plan carries a monthly request quota and a rate limit, stated on the plan at the time you subscribe. Requests beyond your quota or rate limit may be rejected. Quotas reset monthly.

5. No service level commitment

The Service is provided on an "as available" basis. We do not commit to any level of uptime, availability, latency, or response time, and we do not offer a service level agreement. The Service may be modified, interrupted, degraded, or discontinued at any time without notice.

The Service is operated in an automated fashion. No support channel, response time, or individual assistance is promised or implied. Any support offered through the marketplace is provided at our discretion, on a best-effort basis, and is not a term of this agreement.

6. Data

To operate the Service we process the domain names you submit, along with request timestamps, usage counts, and the identifier your marketplace subscription supplies. We use these to return results, enforce quotas, prevent abuse, and understand aggregate usage.

We do not require, request, or want personal information. Do not submit personal data to the Service; it accepts domain names and needs nothing else.

We do not sell, rent, or share your usage data with third parties, except where required by law or where necessary for the marketplace to administer your subscription.

7. Intellectual property

We retain all rights in the Service, its documentation, and its presentation. You retain all rights in the domains you audit. You may freely use, store, and republish the results returned for domains you submit, subject to section 3.

8. 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 THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

9. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill, deliverability, or business opportunity, arising out of or relating to your use of or inability to use the Service — even if advised of the possibility of such damages.

Our total aggregate liability arising out of or relating to the Service and these terms will not exceed the total amount you actually paid for the Service in the three (3) months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or twenty United States dollars (US$20), whichever is greater.

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain exclusions or limitations, so parts of sections 8 and 9 may not apply to you. Nothing here excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded.

10. Indemnity

You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from any claim, demand, loss, or expense (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your use of the Service in breach of these terms or in violation of applicable law.

11. Changes

We may change these terms. Material changes take effect when the updated terms are published on the Service listing. Continuing to use the Service after that point means you accept the change. If you do not accept it, cancel your subscription.

12. Termination

You may stop using the Service at any time by cancelling through the marketplace. We may suspend or terminate access for breach of these terms, for abuse, or where required by law. Sections 2, 3, and 6 through 10 survive termination.

13. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Michigan, United States, without regard to its conflict of laws rules. The state and federal courts located in that state have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising from these terms, and you consent to their jurisdiction.

14. Entire agreement; severability

These terms, together with the terms of the marketplace through which you subscribe, are the entire agreement between us regarding the Service. If any provision is held unenforceable, the remainder stays in force. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of it.
