Terms of Use

1. Agreement

These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your access to conscRAG operated by The consc company at conscrag.com. By using the platform or submitting content, you agree to these Terms and our Privacy Policy.

2. The service

conscRAG provides AI-assisted deep-tech innovation analysis across aerospace, nanotechnology, and nuclear fusion domains.

The service retrieves evidence from a knowledge base, runs automated review agents, and may produce feasibility-oriented reports. Submission to our sponsorship review queue does not guarantee publication, sponsorship, or funding.

3. Not professional advice

All outputs are for informational purposes only. conscRAG does not provide engineering, safety, legal, regulatory, or investment advice.

AI-generated content may be incomplete, incorrect, or outdated. Verdicts such as Pass, Fail, or Incomplete are automated assessments only — not certifications, approvals, or guarantees of feasibility.

You are solely responsible for decisions you make based on platform outputs.

4. Eligibility

You must be at least 16 years old to use conscRAG. You represent that information you provide is accurate to the best of your knowledge.

5. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• Submit unlawful, infringing, harassing, or malicious content
• Attempt to bypass rate limits, scrape the service, or disrupt infrastructure
• Misrepresent AI outputs as human peer review or regulatory approval
• Use the service to develop weapons or illegal applications where prohibited by law
• Submit content you do not have the right to share

6. Your submissions

When you submit an innovation for review, you represent that you own or have sufficient rights to the content you provide.

You grant The consc company a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to store, process, reproduce, and display your submission for moderation, analysis, and — if approved — publication in our public portfolio.

If you consent to publication, approved submissions may be displayed with your contributor name and associated metadata.

You retain ownership of your underlying ideas, subject to the license above.

7. Moderation & sponsorship

We may approve, reject, edit metadata for, or remove submissions at our sole discretion. Sponsorship language on the site describes our intent, not a binding offer.

Rejected submissions may be retained internally for abuse prevention and audit purposes as described in our Privacy Policy.

8. Intellectual property

The conscRAG platform, branding, and site design are owned by The consc company. Open-source components may be available under separate licenses as indicated in our repository.

You may not copy, reverse engineer, or resell the service without our written permission.

9. Third-party services & donations

The platform relies on third-party providers (including AI, database, and hosting vendors). Donations may be processed by external platforms such as Open Collective or GitHub Sponsors, which have their own terms.

10. Disclaimer of warranties

conscRAG is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

11. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, The consc company shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for loss of profits, data, or goodwill, arising from your use of the platform or reliance on AI outputs.

Our total liability for any claim relating to the service shall not exceed the greater of CAD $100 or the amount you paid us in the twelve months preceding the claim (typically zero for free use).

12. Indemnity

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless The consc company from claims arising out of your submissions, your use of the service, or your violation of these Terms or third-party rights.
