IDWorthy Terms and Conditions

1. Agreement and operator

These Terms and Conditions (the "Terms") govern access to and use of the IDWorthy website at idworthy.com, the IDWorthy resolver, platform, APIs, documentation, and related services (collectively, the "Services"). The Services are operated by AT Worthy Technology, Inc. ("AT Worthy," "IDWorthy," "we," "us," or "our").

By accessing or using the Services, you agree to these Terms. If you use the Services for an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization. In that case, "you" and "your" refer to both you and that organization.

If an order form, pilot agreement, data-processing agreement, or other written agreement signed by AT Worthy governs your use of a paid or pilot Service, that agreement controls to the extent of any conflict with these Terms.

2. The IDWorthy service

IDWorthy provides persistent operational identity and evidence-backed lifecycle records for physical entities, beginning with commercial and service robots. The Services may issue and resolve identifiers; record links to configuration, lifecycle, responsibility, and evidence information; support appropriately scoped assertions and correction workflows; and provide authorized access, exports, and APIs.

IDWorthy does not replace manufacturer serial numbers, legal-entity identifiers, government registrations, product passports, cloud-device registries, fleet platforms, digital twins, or other authoritative systems. An IDWorthy identifier is a persistent reference for one physical entity. It does not, by itself, prove ownership, title, safety, compliance, security, performance, legal status, or any asserted fact.

IDWorthy is not a robot-control, fleet-control, teleoperation, remote-assistance, inference-operations, real-time telemetry, simulation, raw training-data, safety-certification, or regulatory-compliance determination service. You remain solely responsible for the operation, safety, supervision, deployment, maintenance, legal compliance, and human oversight of any robot or other physical entity.

3. Eligibility, accounts, and authorized users

The Services are intended for business and professional use. You must be legally able to enter into this agreement and provide accurate, current account information. You must keep credentials confidential, use strong authentication practices, and promptly notify us of suspected unauthorized access.

You are responsible for all activity conducted through your account or by your authorized users. Customer administrators are responsible for assigning appropriate roles and permissions. A platform role does not, by itself, establish authority to make claims about a manufacturer, owner, operator, maintainer, deployment, or other party.

4. Customer data, authority, and record integrity

"Customer Data" means information, records, evidence, files, and other material submitted to the Services by or for you, excluding Service Usage Data and AT Worthy materials.

You retain your rights in Customer Data. You grant AT Worthy a non-exclusive, worldwide, limited right to host, process, reproduce, transmit, and display Customer Data only as necessary to provide, secure, support, and improve the Services, comply with law, and enforce these Terms.

You represent and warrant that:

• you have all rights, permissions, notices, consents, and lawful bases necessary to submit Customer Data and instruct its processing;
• Customer Data is accurate to the best of your knowledge, properly scoped, and not misleading;
• the person or organization making a material assertion has the authority claimed for that assertion;
• you will not submit information that unlawfully infringes rights, breaches confidentiality, exposes personal information without authority, or creates an unreasonable security or safety risk; and
• you will preserve and provide supporting evidence when you designate an assertion as supported, verified, or otherwise authoritative.

IDWorthy preserves provenance, status, and history. A record may show that information is asserted, verified, disputed, superseded, withdrawn, rejected, incomplete, restricted, or otherwise qualified. We may preserve prior versions, correction decisions, and audit history rather than silently overwriting material record information.

5. Identifiers, resolver continuity, and public disclosure

Each issued IDWorthy identifier is intended to identify one individual physical entity. It is immutable and will not be reassigned to a different entity, including after retirement, transfer, cancellation, merger, split, customer-account closure, or the end of a subscription.

Resolver availability does not mean that a record is active, current, verified, public, or complete. A durable resolver may return a limited disposition, such as archival, retired, merged, split, disputed, or restricted, and may direct an authorized user to an approved successor record where appropriate.

Public resolver responses follow a minimum-disclosure approach. You must not configure or request public disclosure of precise location, credentials, security-sensitive operational information, restricted evidence, personal information, confidential information, or other information that you lack the right to publish. AT Worthy may limit, remove, or refuse publication to protect people, privacy, security, confidentiality, Service integrity, or legal rights.

6. Acceptable use

You must not, and must not permit others to:

• use the Services unlawfully, deceptively, or in a way that violates the rights of another person or organization;
• submit false, fraudulent, malicious, or materially misleading records, assertions, evidence, identities, or authority claims;
• use IDWorthy as evidence of certification, approval, safety, compliance, ownership, or performance unless an express written service scope says otherwise;
• bypass access controls, probe or interfere with security, introduce malware, disrupt the Services, or access non-public data without authorization;
• scrape, harvest, bulk-download, or use automated means to access the Services except through an authorized API and in accordance with its applicable limits;
• reverse engineer, decompile, copy, modify, or create derivative works of the Services except to the extent that applicable law expressly permits it and cannot be excluded;
• use the Services to control a robot, make time-critical operational decisions, or substitute for competent human judgment, safety procedures, or regulatory obligations; or
• upload raw camera feeds, sensor streams, telemetry, training datasets, passwords, private keys, or other highly sensitive material unless AT Worthy has expressly agreed in writing to accept it.

We may investigate violations and suspend or restrict access where reasonably necessary to protect the Services, users, the public, or third parties, or to comply with law.

7. Intellectual property and feedback

AT Worthy and its licensors own all rights, title, and interest in the Services, including software, documentation, IDWorthy names and marks, schemas, controlled vocabularies, designs, and Service Usage Data. Subject to these Terms and any applicable order form, AT Worthy grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable right to access and use the Services for your internal business purposes during the applicable subscription or pilot period.

If you provide feedback or suggestions, you grant AT Worthy a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free right to use them without restriction or compensation, provided we do not identify you as the source without your permission.

8. Third-party systems and external information

The Services may link to, reference, or interoperate with third-party identifiers, evidence stores, cloud platforms, APIs, or websites. Those third parties are responsible for their own systems, information, terms, and availability. A linked identifier or external record remains subject to its issuing or controlling authority.

AT Worthy does not endorse, verify, warrant, or assume responsibility for third-party systems or information merely because it is linked to an IDWorthy record.

9. Confidentiality

Each party may receive non-public information from the other that is identified as confidential or that reasonably should be understood as confidential ("Confidential Information"). The receiving party will use the other party's Confidential Information only to perform or exercise rights under these Terms and will protect it with reasonable care.

Confidential Information does not include information that the receiving party can demonstrate was already known without a duty of confidentiality, becomes public through no breach of these Terms, is independently developed without use of the other party's Confidential Information, or is lawfully received from a third party without a duty of confidentiality. A party may disclose Confidential Information where required by law, provided it gives notice where legally permitted and reasonably practicable.

Customer Data remains subject to the publication profile, access classification, and permissions selected or authorized by the customer. Information that is deliberately published through a public resolver is not Confidential Information to that extent.

10. Fees, pilots, and taxes

Fees, payment terms, service levels, pilot scope, and any usage limits are stated in the applicable order form, pilot agreement, or other written commercial agreement. Unless stated otherwise, fees are non-refundable and exclusive of applicable taxes, duties, levies, and similar charges, which you are responsible for paying other than taxes based on AT Worthy's net income.

We may suspend paid Services for overdue amounts after reasonable notice, subject to the applicable written agreement. Suspension or termination does not permit an issued IDWorthy identifier to be reassigned.

11. Privacy and security

Our collection and use of personal information is described in the IDWorthy Privacy Policy. You must use the Services in a manner consistent with applicable privacy, data-protection, employment, confidentiality, and sector-specific obligations.

We apply reasonable safeguards designed to protect the Services and Customer Data. No service can be guaranteed entirely secure. You are responsible for the security of your users, accounts, endpoints, and any systems or data you connect to the Services.

12. Suspension and termination

You may stop using the Services at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access if you materially breach these Terms, create a security or safety risk, use the Services unlawfully, fail to pay undisputed fees when due, or if suspension is reasonably necessary to protect the Services or comply with law.

Upon termination or expiration, your right to use the Services ends. Subject to the applicable agreement and law, we will make available an export of permitted Customer Data for a limited period. We may retain restricted, archival, or de-identified information as necessary for identifier continuity, auditability, correction history, security, legal obligations, dispute resolution, and enforcement of these Terms.

Sections that by their nature should survive termination will survive, including sections 4 through 15.

13. Disclaimers

THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE." TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, AT WORTHY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, AVAILABILITY, SECURITY, AND UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE OPERATION.

IDWORTHY DOES NOT WARRANT THAT ANY RECORD, ASSERTION, EVIDENCE ITEM, EXTERNAL IDENTIFIER, OR RESOLVER RESULT IS COMPLETE, ACCURATE, CURRENT, VERIFIED, SAFE, COMPLIANT, SUITABLE FOR A PARTICULAR USE, OR AUTHORITATIVE. You must independently evaluate information before relying on it for operational, safety, legal, insurance, regulatory, commercial, or other material decisions.

14. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, AT WORTHY AND ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, AFFILIATES, LICENSORS, AND SERVICE PROVIDERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, GOODWILL, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, OR COST OF SUBSTITUTE SERVICES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE SERVICES OR THESE TERMS, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, AT WORTHY'S TOTAL LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE SERVICES OR THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID TO AT WORTHY FOR THE SERVICES GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM DURING THE TWELVE MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO LIABILITY, OR (B) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS (US$100).

Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot lawfully be limited or excluded.

15. Indemnification

You will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless AT Worthy and its officers, directors, employees, agents, affiliates, licensors, and service providers from and against third-party claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising from or related to your Customer Data, your use of the Services in violation of these Terms, or your breach of sections 3, 4, 5, or 6.

16. Governing law and venue

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia, United States, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. The state and federal courts located in Fairfax County, Virginia have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services, and each party consents to that jurisdiction and venue.

17. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. The updated Terms will be posted on this page with a revised "Last updated" date. If a change materially affects your rights, we will provide additional notice where required by law. Your continued use of the Services after the effective date of updated Terms constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms, except where applicable law requires a different method of acceptance.

18. General terms

You may not assign or transfer these Terms without our prior written consent, except to a successor in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of substantially all of your assets. We may assign these Terms in connection with a corporate transaction or to an affiliate.

These Terms, together with any applicable order form, pilot agreement, data-processing agreement, and the Privacy Policy, are the entire agreement between you and AT Worthy regarding the Services. If any provision is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in effect. A waiver must be in writing and applies only to the specific instance stated. You and AT Worthy are independent contractors; these Terms create no partnership, agency, fiduciary, joint venture, or employment relationship.
