Terms of Service
Governing Protocol and Institutional Monitoring Agreement. Last updated: April 11, 2026.
CRITICAL NOTICE: THESE TERMS GOVERN ACCESS TO THE ARGUS CONTROL PLANE. THEY INCLUDE BINDING DISCLAIMERS REGARDING COMPUTE BUDGETS AND MODEL PERFORMANCE.
1. Acceptance of Terms
These Terms of Service ("Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between Datawiser LLC ("Company", "we", "us", or "our") and the institutional entity or individual researcher ("User", "you", or "your") accessing the Argus platform and related services.
By initiating an SDK handshake, authenticating an API pulse, or accessing our web interface, you affirm that you have the legal authority to bind your institution to these Terms. If you do not agree to every provision of this document, you must immediately terminate all training sessions and cease use of our infrastructure.
2. Deterministic Responsibility
Argus provides high-fidelity monitoring and autonomous fail-safes (e.g., mode="AUTO"). However, the training of artificial intelligence models is an inherently stochastic and high-risk activity involving significant compute expenditures.
2.1 No Guarantee of Intervention
You acknowledge and agree that Argus is a monitoring instrument provided on a best-effort basis. We DO NOT warrant or guarantee that our engine will detect every instance of model collapse, loss divergence, or gradient explosion. Furthermore, we DO NOT guarantee that an autonomous intervention (e.g., triggering a SAVE_NOW checkpoint) will be successful in every training scenario.
2.3 Compute Budget Risk
THE FINAL AUTHORITY AND RESPONSIBILITY FOR MONITORING AWS, GCP, OR AZURE COMPUTE SPEND RESTS SOLELY WITH THE USER. Datawiser LLC is NOT liable for any "runaway" compute costs, excessive billing from third-party cloud providers, or the exhaustion of research credits resulting from training runs monitored by the Argus platform.
3. License and Restrictions
Subject to your compliance with these Terms, we grant you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access the Argus platform for forensic monitoring purposes.
You expressly agree NOT to:
- Reverse-engineer, decompile, or attempt to derive the source code of the Data Acceptor logic or the Metadata Firewall protocols.
- Utilize the Service to monitor training loops involving illegal datasets or activities prohibited by relevant international law.
- Probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of our API ingress gates without explicit written authorization from our security core.
- Redistribute forensic telemetry or dashboard insights to unauthorized third parties or competitive active monitoring services.
4. Limitation of Liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, DATAWISER LLC SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO:
- Loss of proprietary model weights or training datasets.
- Damage to institutional hardware or cloud compute instances.
- Loss of funding, research progress, or model performance.
- Unauthorized access to your telemetry buffers resulting from your failure to secure API keys or intervention secrets.
IN ALL EVENTS, OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY SHALL NOT EXCEED THE TOTAL FEES PAID BY YOU TO DATAWISER LLC IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM.
5. Financial Protocol
Subscription fees are handled via our payment processor, Stripe. We operate on a strictly deterministic billing protocol: all fees are non-refundable upon activation due to immediate infrastructure commitment.
Detailed cancellation procedures and refund conditions are governed by our Refund & Cancellation Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference.
6. Governing Law
These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Utah, USA, without regard to its conflict of law principles. Any legal action or proceeding related to these Terms shall be instituted exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Salt Lake County, Utah.
