Terms of Use

Effective 3 August 2026 · Revised 12 August 2026

These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your access to and use of guardal.ai and its content, forms, and features (the "Site"), operated by Guardal Inc., which trades as Guardal Technologies ("Guardal," "we," "us," "our"). By accessing or using the Site, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated by reference. If you do not agree, do not access or use the Site.

1. Eligibility and acceptance

The Site is intended for a professional audience and for individuals who are at least 18 years old. By using the Site you represent that you meet these requirements, and that if you use the Site on behalf of an organization you have authority to bind that organization to these Terms. We may modify, suspend, or discontinue the Site, in whole or in part, at any time and without notice.

2. License to use the Site

Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and view the Site and to share its content for lawful, non-commercial, informational purposes, with attribution and without alteration. This license does not include any right to resell or commercially exploit the Site, to use it for a competing product, to frame or mirror it, or to use data mining, scraping, or similar extraction tools except as expressly permitted in our robots directives.

3. Products are governed by their own agreements

Nothing in these Terms grants any right to access or use Holdfast or Olympus. Holdfast is licensed per protected site and Olympus is issued per enterprise, and each is governed by a separate written agreement executed with Guardal. Material published on the Site describes those products and creates no licence to them and no offer capable of acceptance. These Terms are void where prohibited by law, and the right to access the Site is revoked in any jurisdiction where that is the case.

4. Acceptable use

You agree not to, and not to permit any third party to:

  • breach, probe, or circumvent the security or authentication of the Site, or access any system or data you are not authorized to access;
  • disrupt or impair the Site, including by denial-of-service, malware, or excessive automated requests;
  • scrape, harvest, or collect data from the Site at scale, or build a dataset, model, or product from it, except as expressly permitted;
  • misrepresent your identity or affiliation, or submit false, misleading, unlawful, infringing, or malicious content;
  • use the Site to violate any law, regulation, sanction, or export control, or the rights of any person; or
  • remove, obscure, or alter any proprietary notice on the Site.

We may investigate and take appropriate action, including reporting to law enforcement, for any violation.

5. Intellectual property

The Site, including its text, design, layout, graphics, logos, images, code, and documents published on it, is owned by Guardal or its licensors and is protected by United States and international intellectual property laws. "Guardal", "Guardal Technologies", and the Guardal mark are trademarks of Guardal Inc. and may not be used without our prior written permission. Third-party marks are the property of their owners. Public-domain visual information published on the Site includes its source credit; its inclusion does not imply endorsement by any government or agency. All rights not expressly granted are reserved.

6. User submissions and feedback

The Site's forms are for general, releasable business communications. Do not submit confidential, proprietary, trade-secret, classified, or export-controlled information through the Site, and do not send unsolicited ideas, proposals, or materials that you expect us to treat as confidential. Except for personal information, which we handle under our Privacy Policy, any information, suggestion, or feedback you send us is non-confidential, and you grant Guardal a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, reproduce, and exploit it for any purpose without restriction or compensation. You represent that you have the right to provide what you submit.

7. Export control and trade compliance

Guardal works in the defense domain. Our technology and technical data may be subject to United States export control and sanctions laws, including the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR), the Export Administration Regulations (EAR), and regulations administered by the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC).

Do not submit export-controlled technical data through this Site. The contact, supplier, and press channels are for general, releasable information only. If a detailed technical discussion is appropriate, we will arrange a suitable channel, and we may first need to confirm your citizenship, nationality, or intended end use.

You represent that you are not located in, and are not a national of or ordinarily resident in, a country or territory subject to comprehensive United States sanctions, and that you are not a party with whom United States persons are prohibited from dealing. You agree not to use the Site, or any information obtained from it, in violation of export-control or sanctions laws, and not to export, re-export, or transfer any such information to a restricted party or an embargoed destination.

8. United States Government end users

The Site and its content are "commercial products" and "commercial computer software" as those terms are used in the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS). Any use, reproduction, or disclosure by or on behalf of the United States Government is subject to the restrictions in these Terms and to the applicable Government contract, and Government users acquire no greater rights than any other user except as required by the FAR and DFARS.

9. Informational only; no reliance

Content on the Site is provided for general information and does not constitute an offer, a commitment, a technical specification, a warranty of capability, or legal, financial, or professional advice. Forward-looking statements reflect current intent and are not guarantees. Nothing on the Site creates a customer, partnership, supplier, agency, or employment relationship. Any engagement with Guardal is governed by a separate written agreement, which controls in the event of a conflict with these Terms.

10. Third-party sites and content

The Site may link to third-party sites and services, such as our profiles on external platforms. We do not control and are not responsible for their content, policies, or practices, and a link is not an endorsement. Your use of third-party services is governed by their own terms.

We respect intellectual property rights. If you believe content on the Site infringes your copyright, send a notice to contact@guardal.ai that includes: your physical or electronic signature; identification of the copyrighted work and the allegedly infringing material and its location on the Site; your contact information; a statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is not authorized; and a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the owner or authorized to act on the owner's behalf. We may remove material and terminate access for repeat infringers.

12. Disclaimer of warranties

The Site is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement, and any warranties arising from course of dealing or usage of trade. We do not warrant that the Site will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, accurate, complete, or error-free, or that it is free of harmful components. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties, so some of these exclusions may not apply to you.

13. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Guardal and its officers, directors, employees, and agents will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of data, profits, revenue, business, or goodwill, arising out of or relating to your access to or use of, or inability to use, the Site, whether based in contract, tort, strict liability, or any other theory, even if advised of the possibility of such damages. To the fullest extent permitted by law, our total aggregate liability arising out of or relating to the Site will not exceed the greater of (a) the total amounts you have paid us, if any, in the twelve months before the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) one hundred United States dollars (USD 100). Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so some of these limitations may not apply to you.

14. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Guardal and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses, including reasonable legal fees, arising out of or related to your use of the Site, your violation of these Terms, your violation of any law or the rights of a third party, or any content you submit.

15. Governing law and dispute resolution

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules, and, where applicable, by the federal laws of the United States. Before filing any claim, you agree to first contact us at contact@guardal.ai and attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute informally for at least 30 days. Any dispute not resolved informally will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in California, and you consent to personal jurisdiction and venue there. Any claim must be brought within one year after it arises, or it is permanently barred, to the extent permitted by law.

16. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Site at any time, with or without cause or notice. The sections that by their nature should survive termination, including intellectual property, submissions and feedback, export control, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification, and governing law, will survive.

17. Force majeure

We are not liable for any failure or delay caused by events beyond our reasonable control, including acts of God, natural disasters, war, terrorism, civil unrest, labor disputes, utility or network failures, cyberattacks, or governmental actions.

18. General

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any separate written agreement between you and Guardal, are the entire agreement regarding the Site and supersede prior understandings on that subject. If any provision is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions stay in effect and the unenforceable provision is modified to the minimum extent necessary. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms without our consent; we may assign them freely, including in connection with a merger or sale of assets. Headings are for convenience only. You consent to receive communications from us electronically, and agree that electronic communications satisfy any legal requirement that a communication be in writing.

19. Changes

We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by a new effective date at the top of this page. Your continued use of the Site after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
