These Terms of Service (the "Terms") are an agreement between you and AutographOS Corp ("AutographOS", "we", "us") and govern your use of autographos.org, its subpages, the Reality Check quiz, and any related content or features we offer there (together, the "Site"). By using the Site you accept these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Site.
If you use the Site on behalf of a company, you represent that you have authority to bind that company, and "you" includes the company.
You must be at least 18 years old to use the Site. The Site is offered to users in the United States. We make no representation that it is appropriate or available elsewhere.
The Site describes AutographOS technology, lets you play the Reality Check quiz, and lets you tell us you are interested in working with us, for example as a Design Partner or by requesting our whitepaper. Some of these actions ask you to sign in with Google. You are responsible for the security of your Google account.
Products, integrations, and features shown or described on the Site may be in development. Descriptions are not commitments to deliver any feature on any timeline.
The quiz tells you whether an image in our collection carries a cryptographic signature recorded in the Autograph registry. It does not determine whether any image is "true", accurate, or lawful, and it cannot tell you anything about images outside the quiz. A registry match means a record exists for that fingerprint. The absence of a match means only that no record was found.
Everything the Site shows you is provided for general information. It is not legal, insurance, forensic, or professional advice, and you should not rely on it as evidence in any claim, dispute, or proceeding. If you need a formal authentication service, contact us to discuss a commercial agreement.
You agree not to:
We may suspend or block access to anyone who violates these Terms, without notice.
The Site, including its text, design, code, logos, quiz images, and the AutographOS and Autograph names, is owned by AutographOS or its licensors and protected by intellectual property laws. You may view the Site and share links to it. You may not copy, republish, or create derivative works from our content without written permission, except for brief quotations with attribution.
The C2PA standard and other open specifications we build on are governed by their own licenses, which these Terms do not change.
If you send us ideas, suggestions, or feedback about the Site or our products, you grant us a perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free license to use them for any purpose without obligation to you. We will not claim your feedback as evidence that you endorse us without your permission.
The Site uses services from other companies, including Google for sign-in and analytics, Supabase for our backend, and GitHub for hosting, and may link to sites we do not control. Those services have their own terms and privacy practices, and we are not responsible for them.
THE SITE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, AND UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE OPERATION. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT ANY QUIZ ANSWER OR VERIFICATION RESULT IS CORRECT, COMPLETE, OR SUITABLE FOR ANY PURPOSE. SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES, SO SOME OF THESE EXCLUSIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, AUTOGRAPHOS AND ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, OR GOODWILL, ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SITE, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATING TO THE SITE WILL NOT EXCEED ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS ($100). SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW THESE LIMITATIONS, SO THEY MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
You agree to defend and indemnify AutographOS against claims, damages, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising from your violation of these Terms or your misuse of the Site.
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to its conflict of laws rules. Before filing any claim, you agree to contact us at trust@autographos.org and give us 30 days to try to resolve it informally. Any claim that is not resolved will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Travis County, Texas, and you consent to their jurisdiction. Each party waives any right to a jury trial to the extent permitted by law.
We may update these Terms as the Site evolves. The effective date at the top will change when we do, and material changes will be noted on the Site. Your continued use of the Site after a change means you accept the updated Terms.
These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between you and AutographOS about the Site. If any part of these Terms is found unenforceable, the rest remains in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms; we may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets. Commercial agreements you sign with us, such as a Design Partner agreement, control over these Terms where they conflict.
