TERMS / UPDATED SEPTEMBER 28, 2026

Terms of Use.

These terms govern access to the Failure Map website and its services. By using the site, you agree to these terms.

Using the archive

You may browse the archive, download available materials, and use published interfaces for lawful purposes. Respect access restrictions and reasonable service limits. Do not attempt to bypass authentication, access another person's account, interfere with the service, or introduce malicious software.

Member accounts

Some materials require an authorized member account. Keep your sign-in credentials secure and use only accounts you are authorized to access. We may suspend or withdraw access for misuse or to protect the service.

Content and licensing

Released case sources and observations are dedicated to the public domain under CC0 1.0, as identified in their accompanying records. These terms do not limit the rights granted by that dedication. Any separately identified third-party material remains subject to its own terms. Use of the archive does not imply endorsement by Failure Map.

Results and availability

Case results describe the supplied implementations and recorded checks. Evaluate materials independently before relying on them in your own systems. The site and materials are provided as available and without warranties, to the extent permitted by law. We do not guarantee uninterrupted access, completeness, or suitability for a particular purpose.

Responsibility

You are responsible for how you use the site and its materials. To the extent permitted by law, Failure Map and its operators are not liable for indirect or consequential losses arising from their use, including lost profits or data. Nothing in these terms excludes liability or rights that cannot lawfully be excluded.

Changes

We may update the site and these terms. Revisions will appear on this page with an updated date and apply to future use of the service.
