Critical Safety Notice

The hardware designs provided herein involve high-torque actuators and lithium-polymer batteries. Improper assembly or kinematic configuration may result in fire, physical injury, or catastrophic hardware failure. Proceed entirely at your own risk. This notice constitutes a mandatory disclosure under applicable product liability statutes.

Acceptance of Protocols

By accessing the Arttous platform, downloading our dual-core firmware (RTOS v75.4+), or utilising our 3D mesh assets, you verify that you are a sentient entity capable of entering into a binding contract under the laws of Ontario, Canada.

If you do not agree to these terms in their entirety, terminate your secure connection immediately and destroy any cached firmware images. Continued use constitutes unconditional acceptance.

Intellectual Property & License

2.1 Open Source Core. The primary firmware logic, including the TaskControl and TaskNetwork FreeRTOS tasks, is released under the MIT License. You are free to fork, modify, and deploy this code for personal projects without restriction or royalty obligation.

2.2 Proprietary Assets. The "Arttous" branding, the specific 3D chassis designs labelled as "Proprietary," and the digital twin WebGL interfaces remain the exclusive intellectual property of Arttous Robotics Inc. You may not sell physical kits branded as "Official Arttous" without a written Enterprise RaaS agreement countersigned by a duly authorised officer.

2.3 Derivative Works. Any derivative firmware or hardware referencing this platform must carry a visible attribution notice and must not imply official endorsement without express written consent.

Prohibited Conduct

You agree not to use the Arttous platform or associated hardware for any of the following:

Weaponisation, ballistic modification, or attachment of kinetic or chemical payloads of any kind.
Surveillance of private property or individuals without explicit, documented, and revocable consent.
Interference with licensed public radio frequencies — LoRa TX/RX regulatory compliance is the sole responsibility of the operator.
Commercial mass-production or resale without a sanctioned integration licence.
Circumvention, reverse engineering, or decompilation of proprietary firmware modules designated as closed-source.

Violations of this section may result in immediate revocation of platform access, forfeiture of earned operator credits, and referral to relevant law-enforcement authorities.

Disclaimer of Warranties

The synthetic data, kinematic models, and firmware are provided "as is," without warranty of any kind, express or implied. Arttous Robotics Inc. makes no representations that the robot will balance, walk, or function correctly in your specific gravitational or electromagnetic environment. We disclaim all liability for fried servos, I²C bus starvation, RTOS kernel panics, battery venting, loss of extremities during calibration, or any consequential, incidental, or punitive damages arising from use or inability to use the platform. Your use is entirely at your own risk.

Governing Law & Jurisdiction

These terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Province of Ontario, Canada, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these terms shall be submitted exclusively to the courts of Ontario.

By initiating an uplink to Arttous servers you implicitly waive any objection to personal jurisdiction or venue in this forum and irrevocably submit to the jurisdiction of such courts.
