Website terms of use.

1. About these terms

These terms of use govern your access to and use of aiguard.systems (the “Website”), operated by aiGUARD Systems Limited (“we”, “us”, “our”), a private limited company registered in England and Wales (Company No. 17090629), registered office Dunleavy House, Dunleavy Drive, Cardiff, CF11 0SN, United Kingdom. By accessing the Website you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Website.

2. Information on the Website

The Website is published for general informational purposes about aiGUARD Systems Limited, our trust stack architecture, our intellectual property portfolio, our standards positioning, and related matters. Information on the Website may change without notice and may not always reflect the latest position. Engagement-specific information, technical specifications, and commercial terms are provided under separate per-partner processes, generally under non-disclosure agreement.

Nothing on the Website constitutes legal advice, financial advice, regulatory advice, investment advice, or any equivalent advice. Where you require advice on any matter, please consult appropriately-qualified professional advisers.

3. Intellectual property

All content on the Website, including but not limited to text, layout, design, graphics, code, animations, the trust stack pipeline visualisation, and the structure and presentation of patent and standards positioning material, is the intellectual property of aiGUARD Systems Limited or its licensors, and is protected by applicable copyright, database right, trade mark, and other intellectual-property law.

You may view the Website on a personal device for the purpose of evaluating our work and considering engagement with us. You may print or save individual pages for the purpose of internal review. Beyond that, you may not:

• reproduce, republish, redistribute, or sub-license any part of the Website without our prior written consent;
• scrape, mine, or systematically extract content from the Website for the purpose of training AI or machine-learning systems (an explicit reservation);
• frame the Website or any substantial part of it within any third-party site;
• use any aiGUARD Systems trade mark, including aiGUARD™, aiGEC™, Thames Sentinel™, and Synapse-ID™, without our prior written consent;
• use any content in a manner that suggests endorsement, partnership, or affiliation that does not in fact exist.

4. Patent applications and patent claims

References on the Website to our patent applications (including but not limited to GB2603184.9 covering Thames Sentinel™ and GB2607087.0 covering aiGEC™) describe applications that are filed at UKIPO and are pending examination. Pending status does not imply grant. The Website's references to our intellectual property are factually descriptive and do not constitute a grant of any licence or other rights.

Standards-essential claims under our patent applications are offered under the binding FRAND undertaking published on our licensing page. Non-standards-essential commercial licensing is governed by our two-tier commercial framework (in draft) on the same page.

5. Published research

Our working paper AGS-PP-001 v1.0 is published on Zenodo under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0) licence. Reuse of the paper under CC BY 4.0 is permitted on the terms of that licence (which require attribution to the author and indication of any changes). The CC BY 4.0 licence applies to the paper, not to the Website itself or its other content.

6. Third-party content and links

The Website may include links to and references to third-party sites and content (for example, Zenodo, UKIPO, BSI, ISO, partner organisations, and others). These references are provided for convenience and information. We are not responsible for third-party content and our reference to a third party does not imply endorsement.

7. No warranty

The Website is provided “as is” and “as available”. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, we make no warranties or representations about the accuracy, completeness, currency, fitness for any particular purpose, or non-infringement of any content on the Website. We do not warrant that the Website will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of harmful components.

8. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, we will not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive loss or damage arising out of your access to or use of the Website, including but not limited to loss of profits, loss of business, loss of data, or loss of opportunity. Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited as a matter of UK law (including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation).

9. Acceptable use

• to attempt to gain unauthorised access to the Website, its supporting infrastructure, or any account or system associated with it;
• to interfere with the proper operation of the Website by any means, including but not limited to scraping at a rate likely to degrade service for other users.
