Terms of Use
Last updated 29 May 2026 · Plain-English. These terms cover the Fenerly hosted service. The free WordPress plugin is separate (see below).
The plugin vs. the service
The Fenerly WordPress plugin is free and GPL-licensed. You can use it on its own — it runs health checks on your site and shows how many are passing — without agreeing to anything here. Its licence is the GPL v2 (or later), not these terms.
These Terms of Use cover the Fenerly hosted service (the dashboard at fenerly.com) — the optional paid product you connect your sites to for a weighted health score, history, and multi-site management. They apply only once you create an account or connect a site.
What the service does
When you connect a site, Fenerly periodically reads the health-check facts your plugin reports, combines them with our own external scan, computes a weighted 0–100 score per pillar, and shows the result — with history and guidance on what to fix — in your dashboard. What we collect and how we store it is described in our Privacy Policy.
Acceptable use
- Only connect sites you own or are authorised to manage. The scores and checks are for your own site administration.
- Don't use the service to attack, overload, or probe sites you don't control, or to circumvent our rate limits.
- Don't resell or redistribute the hosted service as your own, and don't attempt to extract our scoring weights or other non-public parts of the service.
Accounts
You're responsible for activity under your account and for keeping your sign-in secure. We use passwordless sign-in (magic links); keep access to your email address protected. You can ask us to delete your account at any time (see Privacy).
The score is guidance, not a guarantee
Fenerly's checks and scores are honest signals to help you improve a site — they are not a security audit, a guarantee that a site is safe or compliant, or professional advice. You remain responsible for your sites. The service is provided “as is”, without warranties, to the extent the law allows.
Availability + changes
We aim to keep the service running but don't promise uninterrupted availability. We may change or discontinue features; for material changes to these terms we'll update the “Last updated” date and, for breaking changes, email account holders.
Cancellation
You can disconnect a site or close your account whenever you like. Disconnecting a site hard-deletes its scan history (see our Privacy Policy). If a paid plan applies, the specific billing terms are shown at sign-up.
