Terms of Service

These terms are a contract between you and Aethora Labs Inc. By using the site, submitting a form, or signing in to an account, you agree to them. If you are agreeing on behalf of a company, you confirm you have authority to bind it, and you means that company.

If you do not agree, do not use the service. Our Privacy Policy forms part of these terms.

Accounts are issued by invitation. You cannot register from the public site, and an invitation link expires after seven days and works once.

• Keep your password confidential and do not share your account. You are responsible for what happens under it.
• Give us accurate information and keep it current.
• Tell us promptly at legal@aethora.ai if you believe your account has been compromised.
• We may suspend or close an account that breaches these terms, and partner access can be revoked at any time, which takes effect immediately.

The readiness review is an intake questionnaire and an indicative score. Its purpose is to work out whether a conversation about licensing your data is worth having, and to identify the questions that would need answering first.

Concretely, submitting the review does not mean:

• That we have made you an offer, or that we will.
• That any agreement exists between us. Nothing is signed through this site.
• That we have verified your rights to license anything you described.
• That a licensing transaction will follow, or that we will introduce you to a buyer.

Everything you enter is self reported and we do not independently verify it. If a licensing arrangement does follow, it will be governed by a separate written agreement, and that agreement will control over anything said here or on the site.

By submitting anything to us you confirm that:

• You have the right to share it, and doing so breaches no contract, licence, confidentiality obligation or law binding you.
• It contains no protected health information, payment card data, government identifiers, biometric data or credentials.
• It contains no personal information about other people beyond the business contact details the form asks for.
• It is accurate to the best of your knowledge.

You keep ownership of everything you submit. You grant us a limited, non exclusive, royalty free licence to store and use it for the sole purpose of carrying out the review and responding to you. That licence ends when we delete the submission. We do not use your submissions to train or prompt AI models, as set out in the Privacy Policy. If you send us feedback about the service itself, we may use it freely and without obligation to you.

If you submit material that breaches this section, we may delete it without notice.

We describe the review as confidential, so here is what that obligation actually is. We will not disclose the non public business information in your submission to anyone outside Aethora Labs Inc., except to the service providers named in the Privacy Policy, to professional advisers under a duty of confidence, or where the law compels us. We will protect it with at least the care we apply to our own confidential information.

This does not cover information that is already public, that we already held, that we receive from someone else without a confidentiality obligation, or that we develop independently.

The same obligation runs the other way. Anything we share with you in the course of a review, including our methodology and any assessment we give you, is our confidential information and is for your internal use only.

If you apply to become a referral partner, these additional terms apply. Read the commission section carefully, because nothing in it is automatic.

Approval

Approval is at our sole discretion. We review every application and we are not obliged to give reasons. Approval issues you a unique referral code, and we may suspend or revoke it at any time.

Attribution

A referral is recorded when a business arrives through your referral link and submits a readiness review while your code is attached and your partner status is approved. If a referral does not meet those conditions it is not attributed, whatever contact may have happened off the platform.

Commission

• Rates are set per deal at our discretion and may differ between deals.
• If a deal does not complete, no commission is due and any amount previously shown as estimated is forfeited.
• Figures shown in the partner dashboard before a deal completes are estimates, not amounts owed.
• You are an independent contractor. These terms create no employment, partnership, joint venture or agency relationship, and you may not hold yourself out as able to bind us.
• You are responsible for your own taxes on anything we pay you.

How you may promote us

• Describe the service accurately. Do not make claims about outcomes, pricing or capabilities that we have not published.
• No spam, no unsolicited bulk messaging, and no paid search bidding on our brand terms without written permission.
• Do not misrepresent your relationship with us, and do not register domains, handles or app listings using our name.
• Do not attempt to self refer, or to attribute a business that came to us independently.

Breaching this section lets us revoke your code and withhold unpaid commission on affected deals.

The Aethora Signal is generated by a large language model reading public sources, and it is published automatically with no human review. We say so on the page and we repeat it here because it matters.

• It may contain errors, omissions or misreadings of its sources.
• It is general commentary, not professional, financial, legal or technical advice.
• It is not a statement of our position, and nothing in it is a representation or warranty.
• Verify anything you intend to rely on against the primary source.

You agree not to:

• Break the law, or infringe anyone's rights, through the service.
• Probe, scan or test the security of the service, or try to reach data or accounts that are not yours.
• Interfere with the service, including by overwhelming it with automated requests.
• Scrape or bulk collect content from the site, or use it to train a machine learning model.
• Submit malware, or content that is unlawful, deceptive or abusive.
• Impersonate anyone, or misstate your affiliation.
• Resell or commercially exploit the service without our written permission.

The service, the site, our name and marks, and all content we publish on it are owned by Aethora Labs Inc. or our licensors and are protected by intellectual property law. These terms grant you a limited, revocable, non exclusive, non transferable right to use the service as it is intended to be used, and nothing more. All rights not expressly granted are reserved.

The site links to sites we do not control, and The Aethora Signal links to public sources. We are not responsible for their content, their practices or their privacy policies. Following a link is at your own risk.

The service is provided as is and as available. To the fullest extent the law allows, we disclaim all warranties, whether express, implied or statutory, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title and non infringement.

We do not warrant that the service will be uninterrupted, timely, secure or error free, that any content, score or assessment will be accurate or complete, or that any commercial outcome will follow from using it. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain exclusions, so parts of this may not apply to you.

To the fullest extent the law allows, neither Aethora Labs Inc. nor its officers, employees or agents is liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost revenue, lost business, lost goodwill or lost or corrupted data, arising out of or relating to the service, whatever the theory of liability and even if we were told such damages were possible.

Our total aggregate liability arising out of or relating to the service is limited to the greater of the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the event giving rise to the claim, or one hundred United States dollars.

Nothing here excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded, including for fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation, or death or personal injury caused by negligence.

You will indemnify and hold harmless Aethora Labs Inc.and its officers, employees and agents from any claim, loss, liability or expense, including reasonable legal fees, arising from your use of the service, your breach of these terms, your breach of any law or third party right, or any assertion that material you submitted infringed a third party's rights or was shared without the right to share it.

You may stop using the service at any time and ask us to close your account. We may suspend or terminate access at any time if you breach these terms, if we are required to by law, or if we discontinue the service.

Sections that by their nature should survive do survive, including confidentiality, intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnity and governing law. Commission on deals that completed before termination remains payable under section 06.

We may update these terms. When we do we change the effective date at the top, and for material changes we will give reasonable notice through the service. Continuing to use the service after a change means you accept the revised terms. If you do not accept them, stop using the service and ask us to close your account.

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, United States, without regard to conflict of laws rules. You and we submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Delaware, and each of us waives any objection to that venue.

Before filing anything, contact us at legal@aethora.ai and give us thirty days to resolve it. Most disputes are settled faster this way than by either of us paying lawyers.

• These terms and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between us about the service, and replace anything said before it.
• If a provision is held unenforceable, the rest stays in force and that provision is narrowed to the minimum extent needed.
• Not enforcing a provision is not a waiver of it.
• You may not assign these terms without our written consent. We may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition or sale of assets.
• Neither of us is liable for failure to perform caused by events beyond reasonable control.
