Terms of use

Last updated: 19 September 2026. Effective from: 19 September 2026.

These terms set the rules for using layert.net. Please read them: by using the site, you agree to them. If you don’t agree, please don’t use the site.

1. About these terms

1.1 These terms apply to your use of the website at layert.net and its pages (the “site”). They don’t apply to the LayerT product. Use of the product is governed only by a separate written agreement between LayerT and the customer (the “product terms”).

1.2 If you use the site on behalf of a company or other organisation, you confirm you’re allowed to accept these terms for it, and “you” includes that organisation.

1.3 A “consumer” means an individual using the site for purposes outside their trade, business, craft or profession. Some clauses apply differently to consumers, and nothing in these terms takes away rights a consumer has by law.

1.4 Our privacy policy explains how we handle personal data. It isn’t part of these terms, but you should read it.

2. Who we are

2.1 The site is run by LayerT (“LayerT”, “we”, “us”), a company registered in Malta.

2.2 We don’t sell anything through the site, and no contract for the product is made through it.

3. Using the site

3.1 You may view, read and print pages of the site, and share links to them, for your own information and for evaluating LayerT for your organisation.

3.2 We provide the site free of charge and “as is”. We may change, suspend or withdraw all or part of it at any time, without notice, for any reason. We don’t promise that the site, or any page, will always be available or free of errors or interruptions.

3.3 You’re responsible for your own devices, connection and software used to access the site. We take care over the site’s security, but we can’t promise it will be free from viruses or other harmful code, and you should use your own protection.

4. Acceptable use

4.1 You must use the site lawfully, and only as these terms allow. In particular, you must not:

1. break any applicable law or regulation, or infringe anyone’s rights;
2. try to gain unauthorised access to the site, the servers or systems that run it, or any data held on them, except for security research that meets clause 5;
3. probe, scan or test the site or its systems for vulnerabilities, except for security research that meets clause 5;
4. overload, flood or attack the site, including by any denial-of-service attack, or do anything that impairs its availability or performance for others;
5. use robots, scrapers, crawlers or other automated tools to access, copy or collect content from the site at a volume or rate that places an unreasonable load on it, or in breach of our robots.txt file (ordinary search engine indexing is welcome);
6. introduce viruses, malware or any other harmful or malicious material;
7. get around, disable or interfere with any security or access-control feature of the site, including rate limits;
8. submit the demo form with false details, with another person’s details without their permission, automatically or in bulk, or to send spam, advertising or malicious content;
9. copy, reproduce or imitate LayerT’s prompts, screens, product demos or branding to mislead anyone into thinking something is from LayerT when it isn’t;
10. frame or mirror the site, or present it as part of another website, without our written permission.

4.2 If we reasonably believe you’ve broken this clause 4, we may block your access to the site, report the matter to the relevant authorities, and take any other action the law allows.

5. Security research

5.1 We welcome reports of security weaknesses. As our security page says, we won’t take legal action against good-faith research that respects people’s privacy and doesn’t disrupt our service. This clause 5 explains what that means.

5.2 Research is good-faith research, and we treat it as authorised for the purposes of these terms, when you:

1. test only the site, layert.net, and systems we own and operate;
2. use only accounts and data that are yours, or that we have given you for testing;
3. stop as soon as you’ve confirmed a vulnerability, and access, copy, change, keep or delete no more data than you need to show it exists;
4. stop and tell us at once if you come across anyone else’s personal data or confidential information, don’t keep or share it, and delete any copies once we ask;
5. don’t disrupt or degrade the site or any service for anyone else, including through denial-of-service testing, high-volume automated scanning, flooding the demo form or sending spam;
6. don’t use social engineering, phishing, or physical attacks against our people, premises or suppliers;
7. report the vulnerability privately to [email protected] with enough detail for us to reproduce it;
8. give us a reasonable time to fix it before you tell anyone else, and agree any publication with us;
9. don’t demand payment or any other benefit in return for not disclosing or exploiting what you found;
10. comply with the law.

5.3 For research that meets clause 5.2, we won’t bring any claim against you, and we won’t make any complaint about you to the police or any other authority. If someone else brings a claim against you over that research, we’ll make it known that your research was authorised under this clause.

5.4 This clause 5 doesn’t cover:

1. systems we don’t own or operate, including those of our hosting and email providers (such as Cloudflare), our customers, and any other third party. They have their own rules, and we can’t authorise testing of them;
2. the LayerT product and any customer’s data in it, unless we’ve agreed a test with you in writing beforehand;
3. research that doesn’t meet clause 5.2, which is a breach of clause 4 and remains subject to the law.

5.5 We don’t run a paid bug bounty. We don’t promise any payment or reward for a report, and our decisions about how and when to fix an issue are our own.

5.6 If you’re unsure whether something you plan to do is allowed, ask us at [email protected] before you do it.

6. Intellectual property

6.1 We, or those who license material to us, own all intellectual property rights in the site and its content, including the text, whitepapers, architecture pages, diagrams, illustrations, images, demos, design, code and the selection and arrangement of all of these. All rights not expressly granted in these terms are reserved.

6.2 You may use the content as clause 3.1 allows. You may also quote short extracts, with clear attribution to LayerT and a link to the page, for review, commentary or internal evaluation. You must not otherwise copy, modify, publish, distribute, sell or create works based on the content, or use it to train or develop any product or service, without our written permission.

6.3 “LayerT” and the LayerT logo are our trade marks, whether registered or not. You may not use them without our written permission, except to refer to LayerT and its product accurately.

6.4 Other names and logos on the site, including Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Opera and JumpCloud, belong to their owners. We use them only to describe which products LayerT works with or plans to work with. Their appearance on the site doesn’t mean their owners endorse, sponsor or are affiliated with LayerT.

6.5 The fonts on the site are used under their own open font licences, and any open-source material we reference remains under its own licence.

6.6 The people, companies, websites and IP addresses shown in demos and illustrations are fictional. Any resemblance to real people or organisations is coincidental.

7. Information only

7.1 The site gives general information about LayerT and its product, including technical whitepapers and architecture pages. It is for information only. It isn’t professional, legal, security or compliance advice, and you shouldn’t rely on it as such. You should get your own advice before you make any decision based on it.

7.2 LayerT hasn’t launched yet, and the product is still being built. Descriptions of the product reflect our understanding and design at the date shown on each page. Features marked “Coming soon”, “Proposed”, “Early access” or similar aren’t available, may change, may arrive later than expected, or may never be released.

7.3 We try to keep the site accurate and up to date, but we make no promises, representations or warranties, whether express or implied, that its content is accurate, complete, current or suitable for any purpose, except where the law doesn’t allow us to exclude them.

7.4 Nothing on the site is an offer to sell, license or supply anything, or a promise to do so. Any product, feature, specification, timeline or commitment is binding on us only if it is written into signed product terms.

7.5 We don’t publish prices. Pricing is available on application and is binding only when set out in signed product terms. A demo, trial, pilot or quote doesn’t create a contract unless it is agreed in writing.

7.6 If anything on the site differs from the product terms, the product terms prevail.

7.7 We may change the content of the site, including product descriptions, at any time without notice, and we don’t have to update any page.

8. Forward-looking statements

8.1 Some content on the site looks ahead, for example our roadmap, planned features, planned hosting, supported browsers and integrations, and what we expect the product to do. These statements reflect our current plans and expectations only.

8.2 They are not promises or guarantees. Plans change, and the actual product, its timing and its results may differ materially from what the site describes, including because of technical, commercial, legal or regulatory developments.

8.3 We don’t have to update or correct any forward-looking statement, except where the law requires it.

9. Demo requests

9.1 When you use the demo form, the details you give must be accurate, and you must be entitled to share them.

9.2 Sending a request doesn’t oblige us to provide a demo or any other service, and doesn’t create a contract. We may decline or not respond to any request.

9.3 Please don’t send us confidential information through the form or by email unless we’ve agreed confidentiality terms with you first. Anything you send before then is received without any obligation of confidentiality, except our duties under data protection law and our privacy policy.

10. Links to other websites

10.1 The site links to other websites and resources for your convenience. We don’t control them and aren’t responsible for their content, availability, security or privacy practices. A link doesn’t mean we endorse them, and you use them at your own risk and under their own terms.

10.2 You may link to the site’s home page or any other page, as long as you do it fairly and lawfully, and you don’t suggest any association with, approval of or endorsement by us that doesn’t exist. We may withdraw this permission for any link by telling you.

11. Our liability

11.1 What we don’t limit. Nothing in these terms excludes or limits our liability for:

1. death or personal injury caused by our negligence;
2. fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation;
3. wilful misconduct or gross negligence;
4. any right a consumer has by law that can’t be excluded or limited, including under the Consumer Affairs Act (Chapter 378 of the Laws of Malta);
5. anything else that the law doesn’t allow us to exclude or limit.

11.2 Clauses 11.3 to 11.5 apply subject to clause 11.1, and only to the extent the law allows.

11.3 If you use the site for business. We provide the site free of charge. To the extent the law allows, we exclude all conditions, warranties, representations and other terms that might otherwise apply to the site or its content, whether express or implied by law. We won’t be liable to you, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), breach of statutory duty or otherwise, for:

1. loss of profits, revenue, sales, business, contracts or anticipated savings;
2. loss of or damage to goodwill or reputation;
3. business interruption;
4. loss or corruption of data or software;
5. any indirect or consequential loss or damage;

arising out of or in connection with your use of, or inability to use, the site, or your reliance on any of its content.

11.4 Subject to clauses 11.1 and 11.3, if you use the site for business, our total liability to you arising out of or in connection with the site or these terms is limited to one hundred euro (€100).

11.5 If you’re a consumer. We provide the site for information about a business product, free of charge. We’re responsible for loss or damage you suffer that is a foreseeable result of our breach of these terms or our failure to use reasonable care. We’re not responsible for loss or damage that wasn’t foreseeable, and we’re not liable for any business losses.

11.6 We’re not responsible for any delay or failure caused by events outside our reasonable control.

12. Your responsibility to us (business users)

12.1 If you use the site for business, you’ll compensate us (indemnify us) for any claims, losses, damages, liabilities, costs and reasonable legal fees we suffer as a result of your breach of clause 4, clause 5 or clause 6, or any other breach of these terms that is fraudulent, wilful or grossly negligent.

12.2 This clause 12 doesn’t apply to consumers, and it doesn’t apply to good-faith research that meets clause 5.2.

13. Changes to these terms

13.1 We may change these terms at any time by publishing a new version on the site, and we’ll update the “Last updated” date at the top. The version in force when you use the site applies to that use. Please check this page from time to time.

13.2 If you keep using the site after a change takes effect, you accept the changed terms. If you don’t agree with them, please stop using the site.

14. General

14.1 Severability. If a court or authority decides that any part of these terms is invalid or can’t be enforced, that part will apply to the greatest extent the law allows, and the rest of these terms will continue to apply.

14.2 No waiver. If we don’t insist on your compliance with these terms, or we delay in enforcing our rights, that doesn’t mean we’ve given up those rights, and we can still enforce them later.

14.3 Entire terms. These terms, together with the documents they refer to, are the whole agreement between you and us about your use of the site. They replace any earlier terms for the site. They don’t change any product terms or other agreement you have signed with us, which govern the matters they cover.

14.4 Transfer. We may transfer our rights and obligations under these terms to another organisation, for example as part of a reorganisation or sale of our business. If you’re a consumer, we’ll only do so where it doesn’t reduce your rights. You may not transfer your rights or obligations under these terms.

14.5 Language. These terms are written in English, and the English version applies.

15. Governing law and courts

15.1 These terms, and any dispute or claim (including non-contractual disputes or claims) arising out of or in connection with them or the site, are governed by the laws of Malta.

15.2 The courts of Malta have exclusive jurisdiction over any such dispute or claim. We may still seek urgent interim or injunctive relief in any court with jurisdiction, for example to stop an attack on the site or a misuse of our intellectual property.

15.3 If you’re a consumer, clauses 15.1 and 15.2 don’t take away the protection of the mandatory laws of the country where you live, and you may also bring proceedings in the courts of that country.
