3. Description of Service

The Service provides access to web-based dashboards and enterprise APIs that deliver geographic data, predictive modeling for vessel locations, regional flashpoint anomaly indices, forensic claims residuals, global fishing effort proxies, physical energy and freight supply chain signals, event-contract market divergence spreads, and maritime hazard and sanctions telemetry, allowing authorized users to view interactive visualizations and download structured GeoJSON, Parquet, JSON, and CSV files.

Data Sources: You acknowledge that the predictive models and analytical feeds provided by the Service are derived from real vessel transponder (AIS) data, METOC (environmental baselines and measurements), space weather (geomagnetic disturbance), subsurface sonar, synthetic aperture radar (SAR), authoritative navigational safety broadcasts, open-source geopolitical event feeds, official government regulatory sanctions lists, and point-in-time implied probabilities from CFTC-regulated Designated Contract Market (DCM) event contracts.

4. Account Management and Security (Clerk)

To access subscription features, you must register for an account.

• Authentication: User authentication and account management are handled by Clerk. By creating an account, you agree to Clerk's terms of service and privacy policy regarding the storage of your login credentials.

• No Refunds: If you cancel your subscription, refunds are not offered for partial months or unused annual periods. Your access to the paid features will continue until the end of the current billing cycle.

6. Commercial Use and Strict Data License

Limited Commercial License: A valid paid subscription grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the data, signals, and predictions for internal commercial purposes, such as maritime intelligence analysis, quantitative analysis, algorithmic trading, portfolio management, financial modeling, and internal actuarial workflows.

Permitted Internal Integration: You are permitted to ingest, integrate, and commingle the data strictly within your internal proprietary systems for the purposes of underwriting risk assessment, actuarial pricing, claims investigation, policy administration, and proprietary financial/trading models, provided the raw data or derived scores are not resold or exposed externally as a standalone product.

Strict Prohibitions on Resale and External Integration: You are expressly prohibited from:

• No Resale: Selling, licensing, sublicensing, leasing, or distributing the raw GeoJSON, Parquet, JSON, or CSV files, predictive data, alternative data signals, or any derivative works to third parties.
• No External Integration: Integrating, merging, or commingling the data with other datasets, software, or platforms for the purpose of creating a new product or service for external use without the explicit, written approval of Andromeda AI LLC.
• No External API Use: Using the Service to populate, update, or train third-party databases or AI models intended for external commercialization.
• Ownership: You acknowledge that all proprietary compilations, spatial indices, decay models, and derived scores remain the intellectual property of Andromeda AI LLC.

7. Confidentiality & Customer Data Safeguards

Andromeda AI LLC acknowledges that risk queries, claims data, trading logic, and vessel tracking lists submitted or uploaded by Customer to the Service constitute Customer Confidential Information. We maintain industry-standard physical, administrative, and technical safeguards to ensure such data is kept strictly confidential and protected from unauthorized access or disclosure.

8. Prohibition on Web Scraping and Automated Data Collection

You agree not to access, monitor, collect, or copy any content, data, maps, or predictions from this Platform using any robot, spider, scraper, web crawler, or other automated means or any manual process for any purpose without our express written permission. (Note: Authorized ingestion via purchased API keys is expressly permitted).

• Bypassing Protection: You agree not to violate the restrictions in any robot exclusion headers on this Platform or bypass or circumvent other measures employed to prevent or limit access to this Platform.
• Infrastructure Load: You agree not to take any action that imposes, or may impose, in our sole discretion, an unreasonable or disproportionately large load on our infrastructure.
• Immediate Termination: Any attempt to engage in unauthorized web scraping, data mining, or automated data collection of this Platform will result in the immediate termination of your account and revocation of your license to use the Services, without prior notice or refund. We reserve the right to report such activities to relevant legal authorities.

9. Critical Maritime Disclaimer & Use at Your Own Risk

IMPORTANT: The predictions, hazard indices, and event decay curves provided by this Service are statistical estimates based on machine learning models, deterministic decay formulas, and historical data, including vessel transponder (AIS) data, METOC measurements, space weather, subsurface sonar, synthetic aperture radar, and aggregated navigational/geopolitical event feeds.

• NOT FOR NAVIGATION OR SAFETY OF LIFE AT SEA (SOLAS): The Service is provided strictly for desk-based financial, actuarial, and analytical purposes. It is NOT a certified navigational aid and must never be used for marine navigation, voyage routing, collision avoidance, war-zone transit clearance, or safety of life at sea.
• NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR OFFICIAL NAVAREA / NTM BROADCASTS: Aggregated hazard events and modeled exponential decay curves (severity_score or forward_5d_decay_curve) are mathematical approximations. A low or decaying hazard score does NOT indicate that an official government navigational warning, mine hazard, or military exclusion zone has been cancelled or is safe to enter. Vessel operators must always consult official U.S. National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) Broadcast Warnings and Notice to Mariners (NTM).
• NO GUARANTEE: We do not guarantee the actual location, identity, or operational status of any vessel or maritime hazard at any past, present, or future time.

YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE AND ANY DATA OBTAINED THROUGH THE SERVICE IS AT YOUR SOLE RISK. The geographic data, maps, and downloadable files are provided on an "as-is" and "as-available" basis without any warranties of any kind.

10. Data Accuracy, Sanctions Compliance, Actuarial, and Investment Disclaimer

We make no representations or warranties regarding the accuracy, completeness, timeliness, or reliability of any data provided through the Service. Geographic data, geocoded event feeds, prediction-market snapshots, and automated regex extractions may contain errors, latency, omissions, false positives, or inaccuracies. Users are solely responsible for independently verifying the accuracy of any data before making legal, compliance, underwriting, claims, or trading decisions.

Underwriting, Claims Attribution, and Forensic Decision Disclaimer:

Andromeda AI LLC is not a licensed insurance adjuster, marine surveyor, or law firm. The Service—including forensic claims residuals, Z-scores, GNSS jamming flags, and geocoded event summaries—is provided strictly as supplemental analytical context and does not constitute binding actuarial advice, Force Majeure determinations, or sole coverage or claims-denial justifications. Any underwriting, pricing, policy cancellation, or claims settlement/denial decisions made by the User are executed at the User's sole legal and financial risk.

OFAC Sanctions & Regulatory Screening Disclaimer:

Sanctions lookup tables and chokepoint enforcement metrics provided by the Service are point-in-time analytical extracts (typically operating on a T-2 historical lag) parsed via automated regular expressions from public U.S. Department of the Treasury Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) files. They may not reflect intraday designations, delistings, beneficial ownership (50% Rule) structures, or vessels lacking standardized IMO/MMSI identifiers in public remarks. The Service does NOT constitute legal sanctions compliance clearance or Know-Your-Customer (KYC) due diligence. Users remain solely responsible for verifying all counterparties and vessels directly against official, real-time U.S. Treasury OFAC Specially Designated Nationals (SDN) lists.

Investment, Event-Contract, and Trading Disclaimer:

Andromeda AI LLC is not a registered investment advisor, broker-dealer, commodity trading advisor, Futures Commission Merchant (FCM), or Designated Contract Market (DCM) under the SEC, CFTC, or any other regulatory body. The Service—including physical-vs-market divergence spreads (divergence_spread_pts) and CFTC-regulated event-contract implied probabilities (kalshi_yes_prob)—provides alternative data for informational and analytical purposes only and does not constitute a recommendation, solicitation, or offer to buy, sell, or take a position in any security, commodity, futures contract, binary option, event contract, or financial instrument. Displayed prediction-market probabilities represent point-in-time snapshots captured at pipeline execution and do not reflect real-time orderbook liquidity, bid-ask spreads, or official contract settlement rules. Any algorithmic trading, event-contract wagering, quantitative modeling, portfolio allocation, or investment decisions made based on the Service are executed at the User's sole risk, and Andromeda AI LLC shall bear no liability for any trading losses, contract settlement disputes, missed alpha, or financial damages incurred.

11. Limitation of Liability

FINANCIAL LIABILITY CAP: IN NO EVENT SHALL THE TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF ANDROMEDA AI LLC ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS EXCEED THE TOTAL FEES PAID BY YOU TO ANDROMEDA AI LLC IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM.

12. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. WE EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO:

• Warranties of merchantability
• Fitness for a particular purpose

14. Service Availability

We do not guarantee that the Service will be available at all times. The Service may be temporarily unavailable due to maintenance, upstream government, satellite, or third-party financial exchange/prediction-market data outages, technical issues, or other factors beyond our control.

15. Changes to Terms

We reserve the right to modify these Terms of Use at any time. Changes will be effective immediately upon posting. Your continued use of the Service after any changes constitutes acceptance of the new terms.
