Terms of Service

You accept these Terms by affirmative click-through at first registration. Your acceptance is recorded against the content hash of the exact text displayed to you, together with the Terms version, your account identifier, your wallet address where available, your IP address, your user agent, and a timestamp.

We may amend these Terms. An amendment binds you only upon your fresh affirmative assent to the amended text; continued use of the platform does not by itself constitute acceptance of amended Terms. When we make material changes, you will be prompted to review and accept the amended Terms at your next session. If you decline, your account becomes read-only — you may review and export your records — until you accept the amended Terms or close your account.

You must be at least 18 years old to use the platform. You may register only as an individual with legal capacity acting for yourself, or as an authorized representative of an entity or estate. The capacity in which you act is declared at registration through the declarant-authority selection and is bound into your signed declaration. One human per account: an account is personal to the individual who registers it, and you may not register or act on behalf of undisclosed principals.

AuremIP records, reviews, and discloses documentation about creative works: registration records, evidence-class summaries, documentation tiers, verification attestations, audit packs, and onchain anchoring receipts.

• Documentation tiers are descriptive. A tier states which document classes are verified on file for a work under a stated rubric version. A tier is not an opinion on, endorsement of, or judgment about the work itself, its authenticity, or its market value. There is no failing tier; a work without a tier is awaiting documentation.
• Reviews are document-consistency classifications. AuremIP reviews whether submitted documentation is consistent with the claimed provenance. AuremIP does not authenticate works, does not issue authenticity opinions, and no statement by AuremIP or its personnel shall be construed as one.
• Onchain anchoring is evidence preservation. An anchor proves an attestation existed and is unaltered since a point in time. It is not proof of any fact asserted within it.
• Tier definitions are incorporated by reference to the versioned rubric identified in each attestation and audit pack (version and content hash). A tier’s meaning is fixed by its rubric version at issuance; rubric versions are append-only.

If you register a work, you represent and warrant, as of each registration and on a continuing basis, that:

• (a) you own the work or are duly authorized by the rights-holder in the capacity you declared;
• (b) every document whose hash you submit is genuine, unaltered, and what it purports to be;
• (c) no undisclosed co-authors, encumbrances, prior exclusive grants, or adverse claims exist;
• (d) all embedded third-party content and AI-generated components in the work are disclosed; and
• (e) the work does not infringe any third party’s rights, including rights of publicity or privacy of persons depicted.

You will indemnify and hold harmless AuremIP, its officers, and its personnel against claims arising from your breach of these representations, including resulting losses, liabilities, and reasonable attorneys’ fees. This indemnity extends to AuremIP’s licensees and survives termination of these Terms and of your account.

Your consent to uses of a registered work is opt-in and per scope (AI training, evaluation, licensing, or another scope stated at signature). Consent is granted only by signed declaration and is recorded per work with a full event history. No scope is ever pre-selected for you. A work is included in AI-related deliverables only where consent scoped to that use is active — regardless of the work’s documentation tier.

Revocation is prospective only. It ends the grant for new uses and licenses. It does not unwind uses completed while consent was active, does not require retraining or deletion of models trained under a then-valid grant, and prior licenses survive per their terms.

You acknowledge this revocation-survival term by affirmative checkbox at each consent signature. The record of what was granted, and when, is preserved and never altered. AuremIP maintains a revocation-notice feed to its licensees; licensees covenant, in their license agreements with AuremIP, not to initiate new training runs on revoked works after notice.

The only affirmative commitments AuremIP makes are:

• (a) Process conformity: each audit pack conforms to the enclosure definitions of its stated rubric version. Your exclusive remedy for a failure of this commitment is reissuance of the pack or a refund of the fee paid for that pack. In any discrepancy, the pack manifest controls.
• (b) Authority to license: where AuremIP grants a license, AuremIP has the authority to grant it.

If you use platform information in a buyer-side or diligence capacity, you acknowledge and agree that: (a) documentation tiers, verification attestations, audit packs, registration records, evidence-class summaries, and onchain anchoring receipts are informational disclosures of what AuremIP reviewed, under the identified rubric version, as of the identified time; (b) you do not rely on any of them as a substitute for your own independent diligence, including provenance research, rights clearance, technical evaluation, and legal review; (c) AuremIP information is one input among others in any decision you make; and (d) no tier, attestation, or pack is a representation about a work’s authenticity, ownership, market value, or fitness for any use.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, AuremIP’s aggregate liability arising out of or relating to the platform and these Terms is capped at the fees you paid to AuremIP in the twelve (12) months preceding the claim. AuremIP is not liable for consequential, incidental, special, or punitive damages. These limitations do not apply to — and nothing in these Terms disclaims or limits liability for — fraud, gross negligence, or willful misconduct.

AuremIP may recompute, revise, or withdraw a documentation tier or attestation, without liability, when documentation changes, errors are found, or a rubric version is superseded. AuremIP will give notice to the affected rights-holder and propagate the correction to unexecuted deliverables. Executed deliverables carry their as-of date.

AuremIP responds to copyright infringement notices under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. Infringement notices and counter-notices (per 17 U.S.C. § 512(g)) may be submitted to AuremIP’s designated agent identified on the DMCA & Copyright Policy page at /dmca, and claimed infringements are handled under a notice-and-takedown procedure. AuremIP enforces a repeat-infringer policy: accounts of users who repeatedly infringe are terminated in appropriate circumstances.

You must not:

• submit forged or altered documents;
• register works without authority to do so;
• misrepresent your identity or the capacity in which you act;
• scrape the platform;
• circumvent consent scopes; or
• use platform information to train AI models absent a license covering that use.

Informal resolution first. Before initiating any proceeding, you and AuremIP will try to resolve the dispute informally: either party may send the other a written notice of dispute, and both parties will negotiate in good faith for sixty (60) days from receipt. Neither party may commence arbitration before this window closes.

Binding individual arbitration. Except as provided below, any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the platform will be resolved by final and binding arbitration on an individual basis, administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Consumer Arbitration Rules (or its Commercial Arbitration Rules for non-consumer disputes), with the seat of arbitration in New York, New York. Filing, administration, and arbitrator fees are allocated as the applicable AAA rules provide, and each party bears its own attorneys’ fees except where applicable law or those rules provide otherwise.

Carve-outs. Either party may bring an individual claim in small-claims court. Either party may seek public injunctive relief in court where the right to do so cannot be waived as a matter of law (including under California’s McGill rule); all other relief remains subject to arbitration.

Class-action waiver. You and AuremIP each waive any right to participate in a class, collective, consolidated, or representative action. The arbitrator may award relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to resolve that party’s individual claim. If this waiver is held unenforceable as to a particular claim, that claim — and only that claim — proceeds in court, and the remainder stays in arbitration.

Mass arbitration. If twenty-five (25) or more arbitration demands presenting similar claims are filed by or with the assistance of coordinated counsel, the demands will proceed in staged batches rather than all at once: each side will select up to ten (10) demands to proceed first as bellwether arbitrations; all other demands are held in abeyance, with applicable statutes of limitations tolled, until the bellwethers conclude; and the parties will then participate in a global mediation informed by the bellwether outcomes before further batches of up to fifty (50) demands proceed.

Governing law. These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. If you are a California resident, nothing in this choice of law deprives you of the protection of California statutory rights and remedies that cannot be waived by contract.

Arbitration opt-out. You may opt out of this arbitration agreement (but not the rest of these Terms) by emailing connect@auremip.ai within thirty (30) days of first accepting these Terms, stating your account identifier and your intent to opt out of arbitration.

Anyone submitting works for documentation review must accept the AuremIP Submission Agreement before review begins. The Submission Agreement is a separate, short-form clickwrap covering the covenant not to sue over tier outcomes (with a carve-out for fraud and willful misconduct), binding individual arbitration, fee-shifting for covered claims brought in breach of the covenant, and the acknowledgment that review results are document-consistency classifications delivered privately to the submitter. It is available at /legal/submission-agreement and supplements — it does not replace — these Terms.

Document hashes only. AuremIP works from document hashes: the underlying documents are never uploaded to, stored by, or transmitted to AuremIP. Consent snapshots, signed declarations, and acceptance records are retained as legal records of what was granted and accepted, and when.

Severability. If any provision of these Terms is held unenforceable, it will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible and the remaining provisions will remain in full force.

Assignment. You may not assign these Terms without AuremIP’s prior written consent. AuremIP may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, or by operation of law.

Survival. Sections 4 (representations and indemnity), 6 (revocation and survival), 7 (disclaimers), 8 (narrow express commitments and exclusive remedy), 9 (no reliance), 10 (limitation of liability), 14 (dispute resolution), and 16 survive termination of these Terms or of your account.

Notices. AuremIP may provide notices to you through the platform or the contact details on your account. You may send notices to AuremIP at connect@auremip.ai.

Entire agreement. These Terms, the Submission Agreement where you have accepted it, and the consent declarations you sign are the entire agreement between you and AuremIP regarding the platform, and supersede prior discussions.
