LEGAL / EFFECTIVE 5 NOVEMBER 2026

Terms of use

These terms explain how to use Hostwatch responsibly. Commercial service access and production deployment are governed by your organization’s written agreement.

Accounts and authorized systems

Hostwatch provides infrastructure monitoring and authorized operational controls. You may create a private workspace or join an existing one with an invitation from its owner. Registration alone does not grant access to any machine or a commercial entitlement. You must have permission to access and manage each connected system.

Protect your credentials and agent connection keys, compare QR confirmation numbers before approving a sign-in, and report unauthorized access to your administrator or Hostwatch support.

Licensing and mobile app

Commercial service access and production deployment are governed by your organization’s written agreement. Repository source is governed separately by each repository’s source-available commercial license. Source access does not grant production or redistribution rights.

The iOS application distributed through Apple uses Apple’s Standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement unless a separate applicable agreement states otherwise.

Private Enterprise

One fixed annual license includes the full Hostwatch system for one authorized installation. The privately delivered complete control plane and its agent components require no separate Hostwatch Cloud subscription. The price does not depend on connected servers, users, companies or application subscribers. There are no license quotas on these counts. Actual capacity depends on the central machine, workload and retention. Installation identity, approved origins and the annual validity are defined by the signed entitlement; hosting and applicable taxes are separate.

Public agent distribution

The official Go agent component connects an owned server to your Cloud workspace under its active subscription or applicable trial, or to your licensed Private Enterprise installation. Public availability does not grant rights to publish the private control plane or redistribute its source. The agent license and third-party notices accompany the binary; third-party rights remain separate.

App Store subscriptions

Hosted Solo, Team and Scale plans cover one, five and ten machines respectively. Monthly and yearly subscriptions are purchased through Apple in the Hostwatch iPhone or iPad app. Apple shows the local price before purchase and manages renewal, cancellation and eligible refunds. Cancel through your Apple subscription settings before renewal to avoid the next charge. Deleting or signing out of a Hostwatch account does not cancel an Apple subscription.

A new hosted workspace can try one machine for seven days without an automatic charge. A purchase is bound to its workspace and cannot be used to gain access to another workspace or Hostwatch infrastructure. An expired subscription prevents additional machines and new management actions; it does not automatically stop protection already running on your machine. Separately licensed enterprise installations use their own agreed terms.

Operational actions and evidence

Exports and management actions use the scope you select. Metrics reflect the available evidence and retention period; unavailable or historical details cannot be reconstructed. You are responsible for authorized changes and exported copies.

A recorded HTTP response does not by itself establish that an attack occurred or that a protection rule caused it. Review the available evidence and the proposed scope before applying an action.

Operator responsibilities and explicit releases

You must have permission to administer every connected server and workload. The infrastructure owner manages operating-system and SSH access, DNS and TLS, application credentials, backups, retention and restore testing on systems they administer. Server, domain, certificate-provider and bandwidth charges are separate from Hostwatch service or software charges.

The installation command starts an observation-only agent and does not configure every workload or protection capability. Source uploads, builds, image publication and live application updates are separate explicit operations; no CI/CD workflow, Git deployment trigger or background software updater is installed. Certificate renewal and authorized maintenance schedules are separate operational tasks.

Review component scope, persistent data and the recovery plan before deploying. A successful image build is not proof of a live update; a container rollback does not reverse application data or schema changes. Hostwatch supplies the service or licensed package and support under the applicable agreement. A license without a server-count quota is not a throughput guarantee or an additional service-level commitment.

Service terms and ending access

The service is supplied under the availability, support and liability terms of your applicable agreement; statutory consumer rights are not excluded. Access may be suspended for misuse or a revoked organization license.

Stop using the service and sign out to end local access; contact your administrator for account deletion or contract termination. You can read the privacy policy for information about data processing.
