Terms of Use

These Terms of Use ("Terms") apply to the public Gridnix Labs website at gridnixlabs.com and its contact form. They do not govern use of Okre or any other Gridnix product. Product use is governed by that product's terms once published.

1. Who we are, and agreement

Gridnix Labs LLC ("Gridnix," "we," "us," or "our") is an Illinois limited liability company. This website describes the company and its offerings, including public software-as-a-service products such as Okre, and custom or privately licensed tools for companies.

These Terms are a contract between Gridnix Labs LLC and you, the person visiting the site or submitting the contact form. By using the site, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the site or the form.

2. What this site is, and what it is not

The site is an informational company website. It does not provide professional, legal, tax, accounting, or other regulated advice, and nothing on it creates an attorney-client, fiduciary, or other professional relationship.

Descriptions of products and of custom or licensed work are general. They are not an offer to sell on particular terms, a promise of fitness for a particular project, or a case study of any customer. Any engagement for custom or licensed work, and any use of a Gridnix product, requires a separate agreement.

Okre and other Gridnix products are governed by their own terms once published, not by these website Terms.

The site is intended for a United States audience. We do not represent that the site or its content is appropriate or available in other countries.

3. The contact form

The contact form collects your name, email address, company name, and message. It does not collect a phone number and does not accept file attachments. We use what you submit only to reply to your inquiry, as described in the Privacy Policy.

Do not use the form to:

• send unlawful, harmful, or infringing content, or information you do not have the right to share;
• submit another person's personal information unless you have the right to do so;
• try to break, overload, or probe the site; or
• send junk or automated messages.

4. Your submissions

You keep any intellectual-property rights you already have in the content of a message you submit. You give Gridnix a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, copy, and share that content as needed to review and reply to your inquiry, to operate the site, and to keep a record as described in the Privacy Policy.

An unsolicited message, idea, suggestion, or proposal sent through the contact form or to a Gridnix email address does not, by itself, create a confidential relationship, a partnership, or an obligation to use or pay for the idea. Please do not send information you consider confidential or a trade secret through the public contact form. If we already have similar ideas, are already working on similar work, or later develop similar work independently, we may use that work without obligation to you.

This section does not waive any rights you have in your own pre-existing intellectual property. It does not let us use your content beyond what this section, the Privacy Policy, or a later written agreement allows.

5. Acceptable use

You may use the site only for lawful purposes and in a way that does not harm the site, Gridnix, or other people. You may not:

• attempt to gain unauthorized access to the site, related systems, or other accounts;
• interfere with or disrupt the site, including by introducing malware or by overloading the form;
• scrape, harvest, or index the site in a way that impairs it, except for ordinary search-engine indexing that respects any published instructions;
• misrepresent your identity or affiliation;
• use the site or the form to send spam, or to collect addresses for marketing; or
• copy, adapt, or create derivative works from the site's content, except as these Terms, separate written permission, or applicable law (including fair use) allow.

We may refuse, delete, or ignore a submission, or suspend access to the site, if we reasonably believe these Terms were violated or if we need to protect the site or other people. We are not obligated to monitor the form.

6. Intellectual property

The site, including its text, layout, graphics, and trademarks, is owned by Gridnix or its licensors and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other laws. "Gridnix," "Gridnix Labs," "Okre," and related marks are trademarks or pending marks of Gridnix Labs LLC, as applicable.

These Terms do not grant you a license to use our marks or to copy the site, except for the temporary copy your browser needs to display it, or as we expressly allow in writing. You may not use our marks in a way that suggests sponsorship or endorsement without our prior written permission.

7. Third-party sites and services

The site may link to third-party websites or services, such as product pages, payment pages, or App Store listings, that we do not control. Those sites have their own terms and privacy practices, and we are not responsible for them.

8. Privacy

How we handle personal information collected on this website and through the contact form is described in our Privacy Policy. How Okre handles personal information will be described in the Okre Privacy Policy once it is published.

9. Disclaimer of warranties

The site and the contact form are provided "as is" and "as available." To the maximum extent permitted by law, Gridnix disclaims all warranties, express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the site will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure, or that the content is complete or current.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties. In those jurisdictions, the exclusions above apply only to the extent the law allows. This disclaimer does not affect warranties that cannot be disclaimed.

10. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Gridnix 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 profits, revenue, data, or goodwill, arising out of or related to your use of the site or the contact form, even if we have been advised of the possibility of those damages.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Gridnix's total liability arising out of or related to the site or these Terms will not exceed one hundred U.S. dollars (US $100).

These limits do not apply to liability that the law does not allow to be limited, including, where such a limit is forbidden, liability for fraud or for death or personal injury caused by our negligence.

11. Indemnity

If you misuse the site or the contact form, or submit content you do not have the right to submit, you will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Gridnix and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any claims, damages, losses, and reasonable attorneys' fees arising out of that misuse or content, or out of your breach of these Terms.

12. Governing law and venue

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Illinois, without regard to conflict-of-law rules that would choose another state's law. The state or federal courts located in Cook County, Illinois, will have exclusive jurisdiction over disputes arising out of or related to the site or these Terms, and you and we consent to those courts.

13. Changes

We may change these Terms. We will post the updated Terms and change the effective date. If a change is material, we will take reasonable steps to call attention to it, which may include a notice on the site. If you do not agree to the updated Terms, you must stop using the site. Continued use after the effective date may be treated as acceptance, except where applicable law requires a different method of consent.

14. Miscellaneous

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, are the entire agreement between you and Gridnix about use of the website and the contact form, and they supersede prior discussions about the site. They do not change any separate product agreement.

If a provision is found unenforceable, it will be modified to the minimum extent necessary, and the rest will remain in effect. You may not assign these Terms without our consent. We may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. There are no third-party beneficiaries of these Terms.

The site may not be used by anyone who is not able to form a binding contract, or by anyone we are prohibited from dealing with under U.S. law. The contact form should not be used by children under 13.
