Canonical URL: https://cntnus.com/legal/terms

1. Acceptance & Ecosystem Scope

Welcome to Continuous. These Master Terms of Service ("Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between Continuous LLC ("Continuous", "we", "us", or "our") and the person or entity ("Customer", "Founder", "you") accessing or utilizing:

The Continuous Company Website & Ecosystem: Located at cntnus.com.
The Continuous Incubator Platform: Staging, operational hosting, and developer tooling hosted on cntnus.app and designated project subdomains (*.cntnus.app).
The Open Standards & Recommendations Initiative: Located at continuous.org.
Short Link Services: Located at cntn.us.
Continuous APIs and Automated Intake Systems: Operating at api.cntnus.app and regional endpoints.

By browsing our websites, submitting inquiries, launching an application on our incubator platform, or interacting with our APIs, you affirmatively agree to these Terms, our Privacy Policy, and our Acceptable Use Policy.

2. The Continuous Incubator Platform (`cntnus.app`)

Continuous LLC operates the Continuous Incubator, providing active operational partnership, shared developer scaffolding, and usage-based cloud infrastructure to enable focused teams to deliver real value to customers.

2.1 Usage-Based Infrastructure & $0 Monthly Idle Baseline

Workloads hosted within the Continuous Incubator adhere strictly to a scale-to-zero operational philosophy. Projects consume cloud resources dynamically. Founders and teams agree to maintain architectures that bound idle baseline costs and avoid unthrottled or abusive resource loops.

2.2 Sovereign Graduation & Exit Rights

Continuous is explicitly architected with zero vendor or incubator lock-in. Customers and incubator teams retain 100% ownership of their proprietary application code, customer databases, intellectual property, and brand assets. Upon graduation or spinout, projects may decouple from cntnus.app and transfer workloads to sovereign cloud accounts and custom domains per our published graduation playbooks.

3. Capital & Venture Funding Partnerships

From time to time, Continuous LLC connects incubated projects facing upfront runway requirements with third-party venture capital and angel funding partners. Continuous does not act as a broker-dealer or registered investment adviser. Introductions and capital connections are facilitated strictly on an operational partnership basis.

4. Open Standards & Community Governance (`continuous.org`)

Architectural blueprints, token design specifications, and governance playbooks published on continuous.org and related open-source repositories are offered freely under permissive open-source licenses (e.g., Apache 2.0 / MIT). Adoption of open standards does not create an agency, partnership, or employment relationship with Continuous LLC.

5. Domain Schedules (A through E)

As detailed in the Continuous compliance architecture, specialized services remain subject to domain-specific schedules:

Schedule A (AI & Autonomous Agent Tooling): AI outputs are probabilistic and provided for informational use.
Schedule B (Network & Short Links): Short links via cntn.us are subject to strict anti-phishing monitoring. Abuse reports must be submitted via https://cntnus.app/abuse.
Schedule C (Zero-Knowledge Tooling): Client-side encryption ensures user sovereignty; lost keys cannot be recovered.
Schedule D (Virtual Credits & Gaming): Entertainment purposes only; virtual tokens carry $0.00 cash redemption value.
Schedule E (Public Ledger Indexing): Blockchain explorer data indexes public ledgers directly; Continuous does not custody private keys.

6. Disclaimers & Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ALL SERVICES ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE". CONTINUOUS LLC DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHALL CONTINUOUS LLC BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES.
