Access with
responsibility.

These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the public website at alcoden-os.com and related Alcoden-controlled public pages (collectively, the “Website”). By accessing or using the Website, you agree to these Terms and the Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Website.

Additional terms may be presented for a specific product, service, portal, assessment, download, transaction, or client engagement. If those terms conflict with these Terms, the specific terms control for that subject.

The public Website presents information about Alcoden, its perspective, potential services, resources, and ways to begin a conversation. A description of a service, product, feature, assessment, portal, kit, or future capability does not guarantee that it is currently available, appropriate for you, or offered on any particular schedule or terms.

You must be legally capable of agreeing to these Terms. If you use the Website on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to act for that organization with respect to your Website use. The Website is intended for business and adult audiences and is not directed to children under 13.

Website content is provided for general informational and educational purposes. It is not legal, financial, accounting, tax, cybersecurity, engineering, employment, regulatory, medical, or other licensed professional advice. You remain responsible for evaluating information in light of your facts, obligations, risk tolerance, systems, and qualified advisors.

Alcoden may describe frameworks, observations, examples, scenarios, research, or potential outcomes. Unless expressly stated in a separate written agreement, they are not guarantees, certifications, warranties, or promises that a particular outcome will occur.

Sending an email, submitting an inquiry, attending an introductory conversation, or receiving general information does not create a client, advisor, partner, affiliate, fiduciary, agency, employment, joint-venture, or other professional relationship.

Do not send confidential, privileged, regulated, export-controlled, security-sensitive, or third-party-restricted information through a general inquiry. Until Alcoden expressly agrees otherwise in writing, an unsolicited inquiry is not treated as creating a duty of confidentiality beyond duties imposed by applicable law.

The Website presently describes planned services, products, portal functions, and the Free AI Operations Self Assessment. Public buttons may open product-information or waitlist pages. They do not complete a purchase, reserve capacity, create an account, grant portal or assessment access, or begin an engagement.

When commercial activation occurs, any professional service, licensed product, paid kit, assessment, subscription, purchase, deliverable, portal access, or other engagement will be subject to the separate terms presented with that transaction or contained in an authorized written agreement. No Website statement alters an executed agreement.

Alcoden Markets LLC operates, markets, and offers Alcoden products under license. The Website and its original selection, arrangement, visual system, writing, graphics, interfaces, code, downloads, frameworks, product names, marks, and other protectable materials are owned by their applicable rights holders and are used by Alcoden Markets LLC under license or other authorization.

Alcoden Markets LLC is authorized to enforce customer-facing restrictions and issue notices on behalf of the applicable rights holders. Website access does not transfer ownership or grant any implied license. Limited permitted use is described below and in the Content Use / Licensing Policy.

Subject to these Terms, Alcoden grants you a limited, revocable, nonexclusive, nontransferable permission to access and view the public Website for lawful personal or internal business evaluation.

You may link to a public page in a fair and nonmisleading manner that does not imply sponsorship, endorsement, affiliation, or approval. Any downloadable material is governed by the license or notice accompanying it. If none is provided, it may be viewed for evaluation but may not be reproduced, distributed, resold, published, trained upon, transformed into a competing product, or commercially exploited without written permission.

You may not use the Website to:

• Violate law, regulation, contract, intellectual-property rights, privacy rights, or the rights of another person.
• Gain or attempt unauthorized access to a system, account, nonpublic page, data, credential, or technical control.
• Interfere with availability, security, integrity, authentication, rate limits, or normal operation.
• Introduce malicious code, automate abusive requests, probe vulnerabilities without written authorization, or conceal the origin of harmful activity.
• Scrape, harvest, index, copy, or extract Website content at a scale or for a purpose that substitutes for the Website, trains or improves a commercial model, creates a derivative commercial database, or burdens the service—except as expressly authorized in writing or required by law.
• Misrepresent identity, authority, affiliation, endorsement, results, or Alcoden content.
• Remove ownership notices or use Alcoden material to create, market, or support a confusingly similar or competing offering.

General-purpose search engines may use ordinary indexing technologies to create public search results, subject to technical instructions and applicable law.

You retain ownership of material you send to Alcoden. You represent that you have the right to send it and that doing so does not violate another person’s rights or obligations.

For an inquiry, you permit Alcoden and its service providers to receive, reproduce, store, review, and use the submission as reasonably necessary to respond, evaluate the requested relationship, maintain appropriate records, protect the parties, and comply with law.

If you voluntarily provide an idea, suggestion, or feedback outside a confidential written engagement, Alcoden may use it without restriction or compensation, provided Alcoden does not thereby acquire ownership of your pre-existing protected material. Do not send an idea on terms you expect Alcoden to accept unless those terms are agreed in writing beforehand.

The Website may rely on or link to third-party platforms, hosting services, email providers, resources, or websites. Alcoden does not control their availability, security, content, policies, or conduct. A link or technical integration does not constitute endorsement unless expressly stated.

Your use of a third-party service is governed by its terms and privacy practices. You are responsible for reviewing them.

Alcoden may change, correct, withdraw, restrict, or discontinue any public content or Website function at any time. Content may contain errors or become outdated. Alcoden has no obligation to preserve a public page, continue a described offering, or provide advance notice of ordinary Website changes.

Alcoden may restrict access when reasonably necessary to protect the Website, users, systems, rights, or legal obligations.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE PUBLIC WEBSITE AND ITS CONTENT ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” ALCODEN DISCLAIMS ALL EXPRESS, IMPLIED, AND STATUTORY WARRANTIES, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, AVAILABILITY, SECURITY, AND RESULTS.

ALCODEN DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE WEBSITE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, COMPLETELY SECURE, OR SUITABLE FOR A PARTICULAR DECISION. NOTHING IN THESE TERMS EXCLUDES A WARRANTY OR RIGHT THAT CANNOT LAWFULLY BE EXCLUDED.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ALCODEN AND ITS OWNERS, PERSONNEL, AFFILIATES, LICENSORS, AND SERVICE PROVIDERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES; LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, GOODWILL, OR BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY; OR COSTS OF SUBSTITUTE SERVICES ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO THE PUBLIC WEBSITE OR THESE TERMS.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ALCODEN’S AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING FROM PUBLIC WEBSITE USE WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS (US $100) OR THE AMOUNT YOU PAID ALCODEN SPECIFICALLY FOR ACCESS TO THE PUBLIC WEBSITE DURING THE SIX MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM. THIS LIMIT DOES NOT ALTER LIABILITY TERMS IN A SEPARATE EXECUTED AGREEMENT.

Some jurisdictions do not permit certain exclusions or limitations. In those jurisdictions, the provisions apply only to the extent permitted by law.

To the extent permitted by law, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Alcoden and its owners, personnel, affiliates, licensors, and service providers from third-party claims, losses, liabilities, and reasonable costs arising from your unlawful use of the Website, material breach of these Terms, infringement of another person’s rights, or submission of material you were not authorized to provide.

This provision does not require you to indemnify Alcoden for Alcoden’s own unlawful conduct and does not apply where prohibited by law.

When you email Alcoden or use an electronic contact route, you consent to receive responsive communications electronically. This does not constitute consent to unrelated marketing. You are responsible for maintaining an accurate email address and for reviewing messages sent to it.

Electronic communications may not be secure. Do not use ordinary email for information requiring a specially protected transmission method.

Before filing a claim concerning the public Website, you and Alcoden agree to make a good-faith effort to resolve the matter through written notice. Send notice to aigov@alcoden-os.com with the subject “Legal Notice” and include sufficient detail to understand the issue and requested resolution.

Except where applicable law requires otherwise, these Terms and disputes relating to the public Website are governed by the laws applicable at Alcoden’s principal place of business, without applying rules that would select another jurisdiction’s laws. Courts with lawful jurisdiction over Alcoden’s principal place of business will have venue, subject to any nonwaivable rights available to you.

Nothing in this section prevents either party from seeking urgent injunctive or protective relief when reasonably necessary to prevent imminent harm.

These Terms and the Privacy Policy form the entire agreement concerning use of the public Website, except for any applicable additional terms. If a provision is found unenforceable, it will be limited to the minimum extent necessary and the remaining provisions will continue.

Alcoden’s failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign your rights or obligations under these Terms without Alcoden’s written consent. Alcoden may assign these Terms in connection with a reorganization, transfer, or successor. Headings are for readability and do not limit meaning.

Provisions that by their nature should survive termination—including ownership, restrictions, disclaimers, liability limits, responsibility for misuse, and dispute provisions—will survive.

If you believe material on the Website infringes a copyright you own or are authorized to enforce, send a written notice identifying the work, the challenged material and its location, your contact information, a statement of your good-faith belief, a statement that the information is accurate and that you are authorized to act, and your physical or electronic signature.

Send the notice to aigov@alcoden-os.com with the subject “Copyright Notice.” Alcoden may request additional information, remove or restrict material when appropriate, and forward the notice to the person who supplied the challenged material.
