1. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old to use The Bellweather Project. If you are under 18, you must have permission from a parent or legal guardian.

2. Your account

You’re responsible for what happens on your account. Choose a strong password, don’t share it, and let us know promptly if you suspect unauthorized access by emailing support@stratis.ai. We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms.

3. Acceptable use

When you use the project, you agree not to:

• Trespass on private property, ignore posted signs, or enter restricted areas to reach a Resonance Point. Resonance Points are placed at publicly accessible locations; if a point appears in a place you can’t safely or lawfully access, skip it and report it.
• Harass, threaten, or dox other users; post hate speech; or impersonate other people.
• Submit false echo reports, manipulate captures, or otherwise attempt to misrepresent your activity.
• Reverse-engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract source code, except as permitted by law.
• Use the app or website to violate any law or any third party’s rights.

4. Real-world safety

The Tuner is an augmented-reality app that asks you to walk in physical space and point your phone’s camera at the world. Use common sense. Don’t use the app while driving or operating machinery. Watch your surroundings. Be aware of traffic, terrain, weather, and people around you. You are responsible for your own safety. Stratis is not responsible for injuries, property damage, or other losses you sustain while using the app.

5. Content you post

You retain ownership of the content you post (echo submissions, comments, discussion posts, profile material). By posting, you grant Stratis a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, display, reproduce, distribute, and create derivative works of that content for the purpose of operating and promoting The Bellweather Project. You can revoke this license by deleting your content; we’ll remove it from active display, though copies may remain in backups for a limited period.

You represent that you have the rights to post what you post and that it doesn’t infringe anyone else’s rights or violate any law.

6. Our content

The Bellweather Project, including the blog posts, the Tuner, the Resonance Point system, the Echo content, the audio, and the visual design, is the property of Stratis, Inc. and its licensors. You may read, share, and discuss the project freely; you may not republish substantial portions of it elsewhere or use it commercially without permission.

7. Moderation

We may review, edit, or remove any content posted to the project for any reason including violations of these terms. We may suspend or terminate access to the project for users who repeatedly violate these terms.

8. Information and advice

Material published through The Bellweather Project — including blog posts, audio recordings, archival material, and content surfaced via the Tuner — is provided for general informational purposes. It is not professional advice (medical, legal, scientific, psychological, or otherwise) and should not be relied upon as such. If a topic discussed here intersects with a decision in your own life, talk to a qualified professional.

9. Disclaimers

The project is provided “as is.” We disclaim all implied warranties, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement, to the fullest extent permitted by law. We don’t guarantee that the project will be uninterrupted, error-free, or always available.

10. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Stratis and its officers, employees, and affiliates are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits or revenues, whether incurred directly or indirectly, arising from your use of the project.

11. Termination

You may stop using the project and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access if you violate these terms. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (ownership, disclaimers, liability, governing law) will survive.

12. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the United States and the state in which Stratis, Inc. is principally located, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. Any dispute arising under or relating to these terms will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts of competent jurisdiction in that state.

13. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. If a change is material, we’ll update the effective date at the top and, where appropriate, notify you in the app or via email. Your continued use after an update constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
