If you are using the Services on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have the authority to bind that organization to these Terms.

Description of services

ShipGate provides merge-time repository verification. The Services include the hosted repository scan, the GitHub App check on pull requests, the dashboard, documentation, and a developer kit (CLI, MCP, VS Code extension) that ships inside the WholeStack monorepo. The developer kit is not published as a public npm package. Advisory scans return CLEAR, BLOCKED, or UNVERIFIED. SHIP is reserved for the signed, commit-bound pipeline.
