1. Introduction
1.1 Scope
By accessing, installing, or using the Anantis TrapEye Deception Platform, you agree to be bound by these Terms between Anantis (“Anantis”, “We”, “Our”) and you (“Customer”, “You”).
These Terms cover licensing, acceptable use, and liability. Fees, subscription term, support, and service availability are set out in your Order Form or master agreement.
1.2 Relationship to Other Agreements
These Terms apply to all use of the Platform, including trials and proofs of concept.
Where you have entered into a master agreement with Anantis or purchased under an Order Form, that agreement carries your commercial terms.
Where the Platform is provided to you through an Anantis partner, these Terms apply to you through your agreement with that partner, and your commercial terms are those agreed with the partner. Anantis has no direct contractual obligation to you unless you have entered into a separate written agreement with Anantis.
2. Definitions
- Agreement: these Terms, any applicable Order Form or master agreement, the Data Processing Agreement where one applies, and any documents expressly incorporated by reference.
- Authorized User: an individual authorized to access the Platform in accordance with this Agreement.
- Competitor: an entity developing or providing cyber deception solutions, products, or services that compete with those provided by the Platform.
- Customer Data: data submitted to, generated by, or stored in the Platform by or on your behalf, excluding Anantis Confidential Information and aggregated or anonymized Platform telemetry and usage statistics.
- Endpoint: a physical or virtual host, workstation, server, or equivalent computing device within the organisation in which the Platform is deployed.
- Licensed Environment: the environment identified in an Order Form, measured by the total number of Endpoints within the legal entity identified in that Order Form, irrespective of the number of its sites, offices, or domains.

- Order Form: a document executed by both parties specifying the subscription type, Production Units or the applicable Licensed Environment tier, subscription term, the fees and applicable pricing tier, currency, payment terms, and any applicable special terms.
- Platform: the Anantis TrapEye Deception Platform, including the management Console, Production Units, APIs, documentation, and related software and services.
- Production Unit: one licensed decoy asset, virtual or physical, deployed using the Platform and authorized for use in a production environment. Each decoy asset is a separate Production Unit.
- Threat Data: technical data related to malicious activity detected, including IP addresses, tactics, techniques and procedures, and malware samples, excluding Customer Data.
3. Access & License Rights
3.1 License Grant
Subject to payment, Anantis grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable license during your subscription to access the Console and deploy Production Units for your internal security.
3.2 Evaluation License (POC)
During a trial or Proof of Concept, the Platform is provided “as is” without any warranty. Production Units deployed during a trial should not be used to protect critical production data unless specified.
3.3 Restrictions
To protect our technology, you agree not to:
- Allow any Anantis Competitor, or any individual acting on behalf of or affiliated with a Competitor, to access, evaluate, view, test, or otherwise use the Platform, whether directly or indirectly, without Anantis’s prior written consent.
- Reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to derive the source code of the Platform.
- Conduct benchmark tests or publish performance data without our written consent.
- Remove any proprietary notices or labels from the Platform.
Any violation of this section shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement and may result in immediate termination of the Platform. Anantis reserves the right to pursue any legal remedies available under applicable law, including injunctive relief and claims for financial damages.
3.4 Verification of Use
Anantis may, with reasonable notice, verify your use of the Platform, including the number of deployed Production Units and Endpoints, to confirm compliance with the applicable subscription. Where verification reveals use exceeding the purchased subscription level, you agree to pay the applicable additional fees for the period during which the excess use occurred and to move to the appropriate subscription level going forward.
4. Proprietary Rights
4.1 Ownership
Anantis and its licensors retain all rights, title, and interest in the Platform. You obtain a license to use it, not ownership of the software itself.
4.2 Threat Intelligence & Feedback
- Threat Data: You grant Anantis the right to process aggregated and anonymized Threat Data for the purpose of improving the Platform, developing security capabilities, and producing threat intelligence.
- Feedback & Suggestions: Any feedback, ideas, or suggestions you provide may be used by Anantis without restriction. You grant Anantis a worldwide, perpetual, royalty-free, sublicensable license to use, modify, and build upon such feedback.
5. Customer Responsibilities & Risks
5.1 Deployment Responsibility
You remain responsible for your network security policy and for the proper deployment of Production Units within your authorized infrastructure.
5.2 High-Risk Activities
The Platform is not designed for use in high-risk environments, including but not limited to: nuclear facilities, aircraft systems, life-support equipment, or any scenario where failure could lead to death, injury, or severe property damage. Use in such environments is strictly at your own risk.
5.3 Security of Instructions
Anantis is authorized to act on any instruction received from an Authorized User’s account. We are not liable for damages if an account is compromised, unless you notified us of the compromise before we acted.
6. Acceptable & Lawful Use
6.1 Authorized Perimeter
You may only deploy Production Units and Lures on systems and networks that you own or are legally authorized to monitor.
6.2 Prohibited Use
You shall not use the Platform to conduct offensive operations against third parties, engage in illegal surveillance, or interfere with the stability of third-party infrastructure. You agree to indemnify Anantis against any legal action resulting from use outside of your authorized perimeter.
7. Confidentiality
7.1 Definition
Confidential Information includes all non-public information disclosed by one party to the other, including trade secrets, product roadmaps, security incident details, and network architecture.
7.2 Obligations
Each party agrees to protect the other’s Confidential Information with the same degree of care as its own. This obligation remains in effect during the Agreement and for five (5) years after its termination, except for trade secrets, which remain protected for as long as they qualify as trade secrets under applicable law.
8. Data Protection
Where Anantis provides the Platform to you directly, Anantis acts as a processor in respect of personal data processed through the Platform. The Anantis Data Processing Agreement governs that processing, including security measures, sub-processors, hosting locations, personal data breaches, data subject requests, and audits. It is available on request and prevails over these Terms for data protection matters.
Where the Platform is provided to you through an Anantis partner, your data protection terms are those agreed with that partner, and Anantis acts as a sub-processor.
You retain ownership of Customer Data. Export and deletion on termination are governed by the applicable agreement and Data Processing Agreement.
9. Warranties & Liability
9.1 Third-Party Software & Open Source
The Platform may include third-party software or open-source components. Such components are subject to their respective licenses. Anantis provides them “as is” and makes no additional warranty beyond what the third-party licenses provide.
9.2 Disclaimer
Except for any express warranty given in an applicable master agreement or Order Form, the Platform is provided “as is”. Anantis does not warrant that the Platform will detect all threats, prevent all intrusions, or be error-free. It is a detection tool, not a guarantee of absolute security.
9.3 Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Anantis’s total liability for any claim will not exceed the total fees you paid us in the 12 months preceding the event giving rise to the claim. Neither party is liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including loss of profits, data, or business interruption.
This limitation does not apply to fraud, wilful misconduct, gross negligence, or any liability that cannot be limited under applicable law.
9.4 Insurance
You are responsible for maintaining insurance appropriate to your own risk exposure, including cyber-liability cover where relevant.
10. Force Majeure Events
Neither party shall be liable for any failure or delay in performance (except for payment obligations) due to causes beyond its reasonable control, including but not limited to acts of God, war, terrorism, pandemic, riots, embargoes, fire, floods, accidents, strikes, or failure of the public internet or third-party cloud providers.
11. Suspension and Effect of Termination
11.1 Suspension
Anantis may suspend access to the Platform where necessary to preserve its security or integrity, or where you are in material breach of these Terms.

12. General Provisions
12.1 Statute of Limitations
Any legal claim related to the Platform must be filed within 12 months after the incident occurred, or it will be forever barred.
12.2 Injunctive Relief
If you violate our intellectual property or usage restrictions, Anantis has the right to seek an immediate court order to stop the violation.

Neither party may assign this Agreement to a Competitor of the other party without that party’s prior written consent.
12.5 Severability
If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable, that provision shall be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.
12.6 Order of Precedence
If there is any conflict between these Terms and an executed Order Form or master agreement, the Order Form or master agreement shall prevail solely with respect to that conflict.
12.7 Entire Agreement
This Agreement, including these Terms, any executed Order Forms, and the Data Processing Agreement where one applies, constitutes the entire agreement between the parties regarding the Platform and supersedes all prior agreements, communications, or understandings.
12.8 Modifications to Terms
Changes to these Terms will apply to new subscriptions and renewals. For an existing subscription term, Anantis will not materially reduce your contractual rights unless you agree in writing, or except where the change is required by applicable law, security requirements, or a change in the Platform necessary to prevent abuse or material risk.
