Legal
Terms of Use
These terms concern the website and public intake forms. Awarded cybersecurity services are governed by separate grantee agreements.
Website information and grant access
These terms concern use of the ArtOfTheHack website and its public intake forms. The website publishes cybersecurity capability descriptions, use cases, resources, and grant information. Access to grantee products and services is governed separately by the applicable award and grantee agreement.
Services are described as provided at no cost to eligible nonprofit organizations through grants funded by James Scott and administered by the Embassy Row Project. This website has no checkout, paid subscription, license purchase, or refund transaction. Submitting an application does not guarantee eligibility, an award, availability, or an implementation date.
Responsible website and form use
- Provide information you are authorized to submit and do not impersonate another person or organization.
- Do not submit passwords, security keys, exploit details, beneficiary identities, or other sensitive operational material through public intake forms.
- Do not use the forms for unlawful content, unsolicited bulk messages, malicious files, or attempts to bypass the verification checks.
- Do not disrupt the site or access systems or information without authorization. Publication of cybersecurity material does not authorize testing against this website or any third-party system.
Informational content and separate agreements
Website content is general information, not security, legal, or regulatory advice for a specific organization. Capability, deployment scope, authority boundaries, and availability are determined by the applicable grantee agreement. No security outcome, certification, or compliance result is guaranteed by website content.
Examples, interactive diagrams, and scenario walkthroughs illustrate concepts; they are not analysis of your organization's actual evidence. The Disclaimer explains these limitations.
Intellectual property and external materials
Publication of ArtOfTheHack branding, technical writing, diagrams, or architecture descriptions does not grant a software license or transfer intellectual property. Third-party names, marks, frameworks, and linked materials remain subject to their respective owners' rights. Any reuse must respect applicable rights and permissions.
External links and embedded content are provided for reference. Their availability and policies are controlled by their respective operators; inclusion does not establish endorsement, affiliation, or certification.
Privacy, availability, and unresolved legal details
Consult the Privacy Policy and Cookie and External Services Policy before submitting information. The website and external services may be unavailable or change; a submission acknowledgment is not a grant award or a commitment to provide incident response.
The responsible legal entity, governing law, dispute process, and any enforceable warranty or liability terms require owner confirmation and legal review. No jurisdiction, arbitration obligation, liability cap, or waiver of mandatory rights is invented here.

Use the existing contact page to ask about this statement or submit a request. Include the relevant page and enough context to explain your request, but do not include sensitive records or credentials.
Do not submit credentials, passwords, classified information, regulated records, security keys, exploit details, beneficiary identities, or other sensitive operational information through this public form.
