Terms of Use

Public research terms, ownership reservation, risk allocation, and professional-use conditions.

1. Acceptance and scope

These Terms govern access to and use of this website, its downloadable materials, browser-local demonstrations, repositories, manifests, documentation, and related public artifacts (collectively, the Materials). The person or entity lawfully publishing the applicable release is the Publisher. The Publisher, the identified authors and rightsholders, and their respective affiliates, directors, officers, employees, contractors, contributors, licensors, service providers, domain-name and ENS-name holders, successors, and assigns are the Protected Parties.

Reading ordinary public pages constitutes notice of these Terms. Launching an interactive demonstration or downloading a package requires affirmative acceptance. A person accepting for an organization represents that the person has authority to bind it. If you do not accept these Terms, do not use interactive features or download packages.

2. Research-only character; no offer or advice

The Materials form part of an aspirational, experimental research and institutional-design program. They describe hypotheses, architectures, reference implementations, simulations, demonstrations, proposed governance mechanisms, and intended technical functions. They do not constitute or imply:

• an offer or solicitation to buy, sell, subscribe for, distribute, or hold any security, investment contract, commodity interest, derivative, deposit, collective investment, insurance product, credit product, token, or other regulated financial instrument;
• investment, legal, tax, accounting, regulatory, employment, engineering, cybersecurity, medical, scientific, or other professional advice;
• a promise or guarantee of profit, return, appreciation, liquidity, market access, revenue, yield, adoption, safety, performance, regulatory treatment, or commercial success;
• certification, authorization, endorsement, fiduciary diligence, or production approval; or
• evidence that AGI, ASI, superintelligence, recursive self-improvement at unrestricted scale, Kardashev Type I capacity, or any scenario-valued economic horizon has been achieved.

You must obtain your own professional advice and make your own independent assessment before relying on or acting upon any Material.

3. $AGIALPHA boundary

Any reference to $AGIALPHA describes intended or hypothetical technical functions in experimental systems, including possible payment, escrow, bonding, validation, challenge, settlement, metrology, or access functions. Terminology does not determine legal classification.

Any expectation of profit, return, yield, appreciation, income, liquidity, or value based on the Materials is unjustified. Possession, acquisition, transfer, or use of $AGIALPHA does not, by itself, establish equity, shares, debt, bonds, beneficial ownership, partnership, membership, revenue participation, profit sharing, dividends, governance rights, claims on assets or reserves, redemption rights, creditor rights, or entitlement to future income.

The Site does not offer, sell, distribute, broker, exchange, custody, lend, stake, or recommend $AGIALPHA. No token acquisition is required to read the Materials or operate the public browser-local demonstrations. Any person independently interacting with a token or third-party protocol does so on that person’s own initiative, risk, legal responsibility, tax responsibility, and due diligence.

4. Ownership; limited public licence

All right, title, and interest in proprietary Materials—including brands, names, text, layouts, images, illustrations, software not separately licensed, schemas, methods, taxonomies, documentation, and compilations—remain with the Publisher and the identified rightsholders. Public visibility does not create collective, community, or universal ownership. Public access, repository hosting, downloading, copying a hash, creating a fork, or referencing a blockchain or ENS name does not transfer ownership.

Subject to these Terms, the Publisher grants a revocable, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable licence to access, read, and download the public Materials solely for personal study, scholarship, internal institutional evaluation, and good-faith research. This licence does not permit commercial exploitation, resale, hosted redistribution, white-labelling, removal of notices, creation of a competing branded publication, model training or dataset extraction at scale, automated scraping, bulk republication, trademark use, or use implying sponsorship, endorsement, affiliation, agency, or authority. Materials expressly released under a separate open-source or Creative Commons licence remain governed by that licence to the extent of any conflict.

5. Prohibited uses

You must not use the Materials to violate law; evade sanctions or export controls; infringe rights; mislead investors, customers, workers, regulators, or the public; make unsupported claims; create harmful, unlawful, deceptive, discriminatory, intrusive, exploitative, or unsafe systems; interfere with the Site; probe or exploit security; impersonate a Protected Party; bypass access controls; extract secrets or personal information; or present a simulation as a live, audited, independently validated, regulated, or production-authorized system.

6. User responsibility

You are solely responsible for your own use, decisions, integrations, transactions, deployments, communications, taxes, filings, permissions, licences, worker classification, data rights, privacy compliance, security, insurance, professional duties, sanctions screening, export compliance, and downstream consequences. You must verify accuracy, freshness, scope, rights, risks, and suitability in your own environment. No Protected Party assumes your obligations or becomes your operator, employer, agent, partner, fiduciary, custodian, broker, adviser, insurer, guarantor, validator, counterparty, tax filer, or withholding agent merely because the Materials were authored, published, linked, named, or referenced.

7. Demonstrations, AI output, blockchain, and smart contracts

Public demonstrations are browser-local or otherwise expressly identified simulations unless a deployment-specific notice states otherwise. Generated outputs are candidate work, not authoritative facts or decisions. Cryptographic hashes, signatures, roots, local commitments, simulated receipts, or on-chain records may establish integrity or state but do not independently prove truth, safety, legality, ownership, quality, regulatory compliance, or unrestricted authority.

Blockchain and smart-contract interactions may be irreversible and may involve bugs, exploits, key loss, governance changes, chain reorganizations, front-running, unavailable infrastructure, third-party dependencies, legal uncertainty, or total loss. The Publisher does not undertake custody, rescue, reversal, monitoring, or recovery duties.

8. Materials provided “as is”

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Materials are provided “AS IS,” “AS AVAILABLE,” and “WITH ALL FAULTS.” The Protected Parties disclaim all express, implied, statutory, collateral, and other representations, warranties, and conditions, including accuracy, completeness, currency, merchantability, quality, fitness for purpose, title, non-infringement, security, privacy, availability, compatibility, error-free operation, uninterrupted access, results, and that defects will be corrected. No statement, interface, demonstration, roadmap, benchmark, score, scenario, forecast, or community communication creates a warranty, duty, or guarantee.

9. Assumption of risk and non-reliance

You acknowledge that AI, agentic systems, cryptography, smart contracts, tokens, decentralized networks, autonomous workflows, and recursive-improvement research are experimental and may fail unpredictably. You assume all risks arising from your access, reliance, use, copying, modification, integration, publication, transaction, or deployment. You agree not to rely on the Materials as the sole basis for any consequential, financial, legal, safety-critical, production, employment, scientific, infrastructure, or public-policy decision.

10. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Protected Parties are not liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary, punitive, aggravated, or reliance damages, or for loss of profits, revenue, opportunity, goodwill, reputation, data, models, systems, assets, tokens, keys, business interruption, or procurement of substitute services, arising from or related to the Materials.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the aggregate liability of all Protected Parties arising from or related to the Materials will not exceed the greater of (a) CAD $100 and (b) the amount you actually paid the Publisher for the specific public Site service giving rise to the claim during the twelve months before the event. This limitation applies regardless of legal theory and even if a remedy fails of its essential purpose. It does not exclude or limit liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited, including liability for intentional or gross fault or for bodily or moral injury where applicable law so provides.

11. Professional-user indemnity and hold harmless

If you access or use the Materials for business, professional, institutional, commercial, governmental, or organizational purposes, you will, to the maximum extent permitted by law, defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Protected Parties from third-party claims, proceedings, losses, liabilities, penalties, damages, judgments, settlements, and reasonable professional costs arising from your misuse; your deployment, offering, marketing, transaction, user content, or downstream product; your breach of these Terms; your infringement of rights; your violation of law; or your false, misleading, or unauthorized representation concerning the Materials or a Protected Party. No consumer is required to provide an indemnity that mandatory consumer law prohibits.

12. No agency, partnership, fiduciary duty, or guarantee

These Terms do not create employment, agency, partnership, joint venture, franchise, fiduciary, advisory, custodial, brokerage, exchange, escrow, insurance, trust, beneficiary, guarantee, or other special relationship. No author, contributor, brand, domain, ENS name, token reference, or publication reference creates an operational role, control position, personal guarantee, duty to fund, duty to maintain, duty to settle, or duty to resolve disputes unless a separate signed instrument truthfully creates that role.

13. Third-party services and links

Third-party sites, repositories, blockchains, wallets, software, models, libraries, protocols, and services are governed by their own terms and risks. Links and references are supplied for convenience and do not constitute endorsement, control, warranty, or assumption of responsibility.

14. Changes, availability, and termination

The Publisher may modify, correct, withdraw, restrict, archive, or discontinue any Material at any time without undertaking a duty to maintain historic compatibility. The current version displayed with the release governs future use after its effective date to the extent permitted by law. The Publisher may suspend access for suspected misuse. Provisions concerning ownership, restrictions, disclaimers, liability, indemnity, disputes, and accrued rights survive termination.

15. Professional disputes; Montréal process

This section applies only where validly enforceable against a business or professional user. Before formal proceedings, the claimant must provide a particularized written notice, preserve relevant evidence, and allow at least thirty days for senior representatives to confer. The parties will then attempt confidential mediation in Montréal, Québec. If unresolved and legally arbitrable, the dispute will be finally resolved by confidential arbitration seated in Montréal, Québec, before one independent arbitrator, under Québec law and applicable federal law of Canada. Either party may seek urgent provisional or injunctive relief from a competent court. Nothing binds regulators, tax authorities, criminal authorities, non-signatories, workers, or consumers, or overrides non-arbitrable matters, public order, mandatory jurisdiction, protected class-action rights, or other rights that cannot lawfully be waived.

16. Mandatory-law savings

These Terms allocate risk only to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. They do not purport to bind a regulator or non-signatory, eliminate a duty imposed directly by law, waive non-waivable consumer or worker rights, exclude non-excludable liability, or convert actual conduct or control through labels. If a provision is invalid or unenforceable, it will be narrowed to the minimum extent required, and the remainder will continue in effect.

17. Language / Langue

A French version is made available with this release. Where applicable law requires a French version to be provided before another language is chosen, the French version must be presented first and the user’s language choice must be express. The parties request that these Terms and related documents be drawn up in English only where such choice is legally valid after the French version has been remitted: Les parties demandent que les présentes conditions et les documents connexes soient rédigés en anglais uniquement lorsque ce choix est légalement valide après remise de la version française.

18. General terms

These Terms, together with incorporated notices and any separate express licence, form the entire agreement concerning the public Site. No waiver is effective unless written. You may not assign these Terms without written consent; the Publisher may assign them with the applicable rights or publication. Headings do not limit interpretation. Electronic acceptance, records, and notices may be used to the extent permitted by law.
