Terms of Service

§1Eligibility

You must be at least eighteen (18) years old and capable of entering into a binding contract under the law of your jurisdiction. The services are designed for adults managing the affairs of themselves or a Household; they are not intended for minors. We may decline service to any prospective Principal in our sole and reasonable discretion, including without limitation where we determine that a relationship would create a conflict of interest or compromise the discretion we owe to existing Principals.

§2About our services

AI&ENERGY OS is a sovereign intelligence infrastructure framework offered to qualifying families, family offices, and individuals. Public-facing components — the waitlist, this website, our published documentation — are made available without charge. Engaged services — cohort enrollment, deployment, advisory hours, and custom builds — are governed by a separate written engagement letter that supersedes these Terms with respect to the engagement's subject matter.

Nothing on this website constitutes investment, tax, legal, medical, or fiduciary advice. We are not a registered investment adviser, broker-dealer, attorney, accountant, or licensed professional. If you require such advice, please consult a licensed professional in your jurisdiction.

§3Confidentiality & discretion

The discretion we extend to Principals is mutual.

• We will not publish, quote, attribute, or display a Principal's name, household name, image, voice, or identifying details in marketing, case studies, press, or social media without specific, written, advance consent for each such use.
• The fact of an engagement — including its existence, scope, and timing — is itself confidential.
• You agree to treat material non-public information about our methods, pricing, security architecture, internal personnel, and the affairs of other Principals (which you may incidentally learn) with equivalent confidentiality.
• These mutual obligations survive termination of the engagement indefinitely, except where disclosure is required by valid legal process.

§4Acceptable use

You agree that you will not, directly or indirectly:

• Use the services to harm, defraud, harass, or impersonate any person, household, or entity.
• Upload, submit, or transmit any material that is unlawful, infringing, libelous, or that you do not have the right to provide.
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to any system, account, or data of ours or of another Principal.
• Interfere with the operation of the services, introduce malware, or probe for vulnerabilities outside a coordinated disclosure process.
• Reverse-engineer, decompile, scrape, or attempt to derive the source of any non-public component of the services, except where (and to the extent) that applicable law expressly authorizes that activity without contractual override.
• Resell, sublicense, or commercially repackage any output, document, briefing, or deliverable produced for you without our prior written consent.

§5Your content & authority

You retain ownership of all content you provide to us — your messages, your voice notes, your supplied data, your delivered materials. You grant us a limited, revocable, non-exclusive license to process that content solely for the purpose of delivering the specific Engagement under which you provided it. This license is read-only with respect to repurposing: we will not reuse your content for a different Engagement, for marketing, or for product development, without renewed consent.

You represent and warrant that you have obtained any required consents from third parties (for example, members of your Household whose information you share with us) before transmitting their information to us, and that your submission of any third-party information does not violate any law or contract.

§6AI output limitations

The services use AI systems internally. AI-generated output may be incomplete, inaccurate, biased, or otherwise unsuitable for a given purpose. You must not rely solely on AI-generated output for any decision of consequence — operational, legal, medical, financial, or personal — without independent human review by a qualified individual.

We commit, as described in our Privacy Policy §5, that your content is never used to train AI models, ours or any third party's.

§7Intellectual property

AI&ENERGY OS, its underlying systems, software, branding, written materials, documentation, and methods are owned by AI&ENERGY OS or its licensors. AI&ENERGY and AI&ENERGY OS are trademarks; for permitted uses, see the Trademark Policy. Nothing in these Terms transfers ownership of our intellectual property to you; you receive only the limited right to use the services as described.

Deliverables produced exclusively for a specific Principal under a paid engagement become the Principal's property on payment in full, subject to our retained right to the underlying methods, templates, and pre-existing materials we used to produce them.

§8Third-party providers

We rely on third-party infrastructure providers to deliver the services. The current list is published in our Privacy Policy §9. Your use of the services is subject to those providers' own terms with respect to their portion of the stack. We are not responsible for failures, outages, or content of any third-party website or service we do not control, but we will use reasonable effort to migrate away from a provider that materially fails to meet our security or sovereignty standards.

§9Fees & engagements

Public-facing components of the services are provided without charge. Paid engagements are governed by a separate engagement letter that sets fees, scope, deliverables, payment schedule, and term. Where no engagement letter is in force, no fees are owed.

For paid engagements, fees are due in U.S. dollars unless otherwise agreed. Past-due amounts accrue interest at the lesser of 1% per month or the maximum rate permitted by law. We may suspend service for materially overdue accounts after written notice and a reasonable cure period.

§10Communications & SMS

If you provide a mobile phone number, you consent to receive transactional and conversational text messages from us related to your specific Engagement. SMS consent is not a condition of any purchase or service. Message and data rates may apply. You may opt out at any time by replying STOP. Full program detail and required disclosures are in the SMS Policy.

We do not record phone calls by default; see Privacy Policy §6.

§11Warranties disclaimer

EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY STATED IN A SIGNED ENGAGEMENT LETTER, THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE." TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ACCURACY. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR FREE OF MALWARE.

§12Limitation of liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL OUR AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICES EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE TOTAL FEES YOU PAID US IN THE THREE (3) MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR (B) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS (US $100). IN NO EVENT WILL WE BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, GOODWILL, OR DATA, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

These limitations do not apply to liability arising from our willful misconduct or gross negligence, or to any liability that cannot be limited under applicable law.

§13Indemnification

You will indemnify, defend, and hold harmless AI&ENERGY OS and our personnel, officers, and affiliates from and against any third-party claims, losses, damages, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of (a) your breach of these Terms, (b) your violation of any law or third-party right, or (c) content you supplied to us where you lacked the right to do so.

§14Suspension & termination

You may stop using the services at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access to the services where you materially breach these Terms, where we are legally required to do so, or where continuing the relationship would compromise the security, discretion, or operational integrity we owe to other Principals. We will use reasonable effort to give you advance notice where the circumstances allow.

On termination, the rights and obligations that by their nature should survive — including confidentiality (§3), intellectual property (§7), warranty disclaimer (§11), liability limits (§12), indemnification (§13), and dispute resolution (§15) — survive.

§15Disputes & governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.

Before initiating any formal proceeding, the parties will negotiate in good faith for thirty (30) days following written notice of the dispute, by a senior representative of each party. If the dispute is not resolved during that period, the parties will submit the dispute to confidential, binding arbitration administered by JAMS in Orange County, California, under JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules, before a single arbitrator with at least ten (10) years of experience in technology or commercial disputes. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Either party may seek temporary or injunctive relief in a court of competent jurisdiction in Orange County, California for protection of intellectual property or confidentiality. Each party irrevocably consents to such jurisdiction for that limited purpose. Class actions, class arbitrations, and representative actions are waived to the maximum extent permitted by law.

§16Changes to these Terms

We may amend these Terms from time to time. The "Last updated" date above reflects the most recent revision. Material changes that adversely affect Principals will be communicated by email or other direct means at least thirty (30) days in advance of taking effect. Your continued use of the services after the effective date constitutes acceptance.

§17General

• Entire agreement. These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, SMS Policy, Customer Notifications, Trademark Policy, and any applicable engagement letter, constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding the services.
• Severability. If any provision is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full force, and the unenforceable provision will be reformed to the minimum extent necessary.
• No waiver. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of our right to do so later.
• Assignment. You may not assign these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of substantially all our assets, subject to the successor obligations described in our Privacy Policy §16.
• Force majeure. Neither party is liable for delay or failure caused by events beyond reasonable control (natural disaster, war, government action, infrastructure outage).
• Notices. Notices to us must be in writing to legal@aienergyos.com or the postal address below.
