These Terms & Conditions ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the Osprey HashCat platform, website, APIs and related services (collectively, the "Service") operated by Osprey Electronics ("we", "us", or "our"). By creating an account, signing in, or otherwise using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms and by our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
1. Description of the Service
Osprey HashCat provides a hosted, FPGA-accelerated password-hash recovery service. Customers select an algorithm and submit hash targets and attack parameters; the work is executed on our FPGA hardware and results are returned to the customer. Compute is billed through a prepaid token-credit system.
2. Eligibility
You must be at least 18 years old and capable of forming a binding contract. You may not use the Service if you are barred from doing so under any applicable law or if you are located in a jurisdiction subject to sanctions that would prohibit use of the Service.
3. Accounts & Security
- You must provide accurate registration information and keep it up to date.
- You are responsible for safeguarding your credentials and for all activity under your account.
- You must notify us promptly of any unauthorized use of your account.
- We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms or applicable law.
4. Authorized Use Only
The Service is intended solely for lawful password-recovery and security work that you are authorized to perform. By submitting any hash or target to the Service, you represent and warrant that you own the underlying system or data, or that you have explicit, documented authorization from the owner to perform recovery or testing on it. Permitted uses include, without limitation:
- Recovering passwords for systems, accounts or data that you own;
- Authorized penetration testing and security assessments;
- Bona fide security research and educational use.
5. Prohibited Use
You agree that you will NOT use the Service to:
- Recover, crack, or attempt to access credentials or data of any system you do not own or are not explicitly authorized to test;
- Facilitate unauthorized access to any computer system, network, account, or data;
- Violate any applicable law, regulation, export control, or third-party right;
- Interfere with, disrupt, overload, or attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Service or its infrastructure;
- Resell or provide access to the Service in a manner that circumvents these Terms.
You bear full and sole legal responsibility for your use of the Service and for ensuring you have all necessary authorizations.
6. Tokens, Payment & Refunds
- Compute is purchased as prepaid tokens. Estimated token cost is shown before a session starts and your balance must cover it.
- Payments are processed by our third-party payment processor (Stripe). We do not store full card details.
- Tokens consumed by a completed or in-progress cracking session are non-refundable.
- Unused token balances remain in your account subject to these Terms and any stated expiry.
- Prices and token weightings may change prospectively; changes do not affect tokens already purchased.
7. Data Handling
Hash values and attack parameters you submit are processed to perform the requested recovery and are not retained as target data after session completion, except minimal metadata needed for billing, security and audit. Our handling of personal data is described in the Privacy Policy.
8. Intellectual Property
The Service, including its software, FPGA designs, and content, is owned by us or our licensors and is protected by intellectual-property laws. These Terms grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use the Service; no other rights are granted.
9. Service Availability & No Warranty
The Service is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. We do not warrant uninterrupted or error-free operation, nor that any particular hash will be recovered. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.
10. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, we and our operators will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, data, or goodwill, arising from or related to your use of the Service. Our total aggregate liability for any claim will not exceed the amounts you paid to us in the three (3) months preceding the event giving rise to the claim.
11. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from any claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of your use of the Service, your breach of these Terms, or your violation of any law or third-party right.
12. Suspension & Termination
We may suspend or terminate your access at any time if we reasonably believe you have violated these Terms or applicable law, or to protect the Service or other users. You may stop using the Service at any time.
13. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be indicated by an updated effective date and, where appropriate, by requiring renewed acceptance. Continued use after changes take effect constitutes acceptance.
14. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles.
Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service shall be resolved exclusively by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that either party may bring an individual claim in small claims court where the claim qualifies. The arbitration shall be administered by the American Arbitration Association (or another mutually agreed arbitration body) under its applicable rules, with the seat and place of arbitration in Plano, Texas, United States, and the arbitration shall be conducted in English. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in the state or federal courts located in Collin County, Texas to protect our intellectual property or the security of the Service.
[Note: the arbitration provider, seat city, and any class-action-waiver or opt-out language should be finalized with legal counsel — arbitration clauses have specific enforceability requirements that vary by state and by consumer-vs-business context.]
