Terms of service

Last updated: 26 August 2026

No legal entity has been registered yet. The operator of Certglimpse must supply an entity name, address and jurisdiction before these terms bind anyone. These terms are provided in good faith as a description of the expected relationship between the user and the service.

What this service is

Certglimpse is a free, one-shot TLS diagnostic tool. You provide a hostname, and the tool opens a TLS connection to that hostname and reports the certificate chain the server presents. It does not store data, create accounts, send email, monitor, or re-check hosts.

Acceptance

By using Certglimpse, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, do not use the tool.

Use of the service

You may use Certglimpse to check any hostname for which you have lawful authority to establish a TLS connection.
You may not use the tool to scan or enumerate hosts without authorisation.
You may not use the tool in a manner that exceeds a reasonable request rate — this is a diagnostic tool, not a bulk scanner.
The tool checks only the hostname you provide. It does not scan subdomains, ranges, or related hosts.

No warranties

Certglimpse is provided "as is" without warranty of any kind, express or implied. The certificate data is reported as the server presented it on the wire, but the tool may be unavailable, return incomplete data, or be subject to platform limitations (such as the inability to reach Cloudflare-fronted hosts). The operator makes no guarantee about accuracy, availability, or suitability for any purpose.

No liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the operator of Certglimpse shall not be liable for any damages arising from the use or inability to use the tool, including but not limited to reliance on diagnostic results for production decisions.

No accounts or data storage

Certglimpse does not create user accounts, store check results, or retain hostname data after a response is returned. There is no saved history, no dashboard, and no way to retrieve previous results.

No billing

Certglimpse is a free diagnostic tool. No payment is taken, no subscriptions exist, and no billing relationship is created when you use it. All features are available at no cost. No paid tier exists or is planned. There is nothing to buy.

Changes

The operator may modify these terms at any time. Changes are effective when posted. Continued use after changes means acceptance of the updated terms.

Governing law

No governing law is specified until a legal entity and jurisdiction are established for this service.
