Terms of Service

1. Draft status and service operator

This page is a proposed Terms of Service draft for founder and legal review. It is not approved final terms. The legal person or organization that would provide the service and its address have not been established in this repository.

[FOUNDER/COUNSEL TO CONFIRM: legal operator name, entity type, and physical or mailing address.]

2. What the readiness workspace does

The current workspace is designed to help one account organize readiness efforts and preparation context, create work items using customer-provided requirement and source references, and record customer-entered self-assessment statuses, notes, and next steps. It also provides family-level status tracking. No verified, complete, current requirement catalog or update feed is supplied, and the workspace does not decide which requirements apply to a solicitation. Users are responsible for checking their own sources and entries; the workspace does not independently verify them.

Aether Shield Readiness is a readiness aid. It is not a CMMC certification, official assessment, or guarantee of compliance. It does not replace an authorized assessment, qualified advice, or the customer’s responsibility to confirm applicable requirements and deadlines.

3. Information users must not submit

Do not enter classified information or Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) into the product. The current workspace is not represented as approved or authorized to receive that information.

4. Accounts and current availability

The customer registration page is closed, and ordinary customer account creation is disabled. The current code permits the configured owner account through the registration gate; existing account sign-in remains available. The Starter and Pro prices are approved, but registration and checkout remain disabled until both this Terms of Service draft and the Privacy Policy are complete and founder-approved.

Before any customer launch, the account eligibility rules, user responsibilities, access rights, and any organization or seat limits must be confirmed. [FOUNDER/COUNSEL TO CONFIRM: final eligibility, permitted users, and account terms.]

5. Customer content and acceptable use

The workspace accepts customer-entered readiness notes and work-item content. This draft does not establish ownership, license, permitted use, export, or deletion terms for that content. [FOUNDER/COUNSEL TO CONFIRM: content ownership and license, acceptable-use rules, and any restrictions beyond the prohibition on classified information and CUI.]

6. Approved pricing; launch remains gated

Starter is $199 USD per month for one readiness cycle per account per UTC calendar year. Pro is $499 USD per month for up to five readiness cycles per account per UTC calendar year. The first three verified paid Starter subscribers receive a $99 USD monthly rate while each subscription remains uninterrupted; cancellation or lapse permanently ends that account’s founding rate. Pending or failed checkouts do not qualify. These offer terms are approved. Customer registration and checkout remain disabled until both this Terms of Service draft and the Privacy Policy are complete and founder-approved, so no live customer charge can be started through the current checkout route.

[FOUNDER/COUNSEL TO CONFIRM before enabling billing: tax treatment, the customer-facing renewal and cancellation process, refunds, failed payments, charge disputes, and any other legally required payment disclosures.]

7. Service commitments and legal terms

No service-level, support, availability, warranty, indemnity, limitation-of-liability, or dispute-resolution commitment is established by this draft. These terms require legal review and founder approval before publication.

[COUNSEL TO DRAFT: warranties and disclaimers, liability allocation, indemnification, service availability and support, suspension or termination, changes to the service or terms, dispute process, governing law, and venue.]

8. Privacy and contact

The companion Privacy Policy is also a review draft. It describes observed application behavior and marks unknown data practices for confirmation; it is not a finalized privacy notice or data-processing agreement.

[FOUNDER/COUNSEL TO CONFIRM: privacy-request contact and process, and whether separate customer or government contract terms are required.]
