Terms of use

Scope

These terms cover the use of this application and the records it produces. Using it means accepting them; if you do not, the remedy is not to use it.

They do not govern the underlying agreement between a creator and an agency. That agreement is between those two parties, and this service is a way of recording and checking it rather than a party to it.

What the service does

It turns a set of licence terms into a canonical document, fingerprints that document, collects an ed25519 signature from each party, optionally verifies an on-chain payment, anchors the fingerprints on a public blockchain, and exposes a certificate that anyone can check.

It is a recording and verification tool. It is not a marketplace intermediary, an escrow agent, a payment processor or a rights clearing house, and it takes no position in any dispute between the parties.

What a proof establishes

• That a record with these exact contents existed at the moment it was anchored.
• That it has not been altered since, because any alteration changes the hash.
• That the signatures on it were produced by the private keys corresponding to the wallets shown.

What it does not establish

• That the signer held the right to grant what they granted. A wallet can sign a licence over a likeness that is not theirs, and the mathematics will check out perfectly.
• That the parties are who they say they are. A wallet is a key, not an identity; nothing here performs identity verification.
• That the agreement is valid or enforceable where you live.
• That a payment was made, unless the certificate says Verified. A demo payment is a record the operator asked for and nothing moved.

The distance between the first list and the second is the most important thing on this page. A proof is evidence about a document, not about the world the document describes.

Not legal advice

A licence produced here is a structured record of terms, not a contract drafted for your jurisdiction. Likeness, personality and publicity rights differ sharply between countries and, in some, between states — in what may be licensed, whether consent may be withdrawn, what survives death, and what must be in writing.

Have a lawyer review anything you intend to rely on. The structure this tool imposes is deliberately narrower than the law it sits inside.

Wallets and custody

An account is a Solana wallet, so custody of that wallet is custody of the account. There is no password reset, no support channel that can restore access, and no mechanism by which anyone can sign on your behalf.

• A signature made with your key is treated as yours.
• Losing the key means losing the ability to act as that party — though not the validity of anything already signed.
• Read what your wallet shows you before approving it. The messages this service asks you to sign state in plain words that they move no funds and grant no spending permission.

Your responsibilities

• The accuracy of what you enter. The service hashes what you give it and does not check it against the world.
• Holding the right to grant what you are granting.
• The custody of the wallet you sign with.
• Whom you give a licence ID to, since it lets them read the certificate and everything named on it.
• Complying with the law that applies to you, including anything about the use of a real person's likeness in synthetic media.

Fees and settlement

The fee named in a licence is paid directly by the agency to the creator, wallet to wallet. This service never takes custody of funds, charges nothing, and cannot reverse, refund or freeze a transfer.

Verification is the whole of the role: the server re-reads a transfer from the chain and reports whether it matches the licence. A payment that fails that check is not recorded as one.

Acceptable use

Do not use this service to:

• Record a grant over a person's likeness without that person's agreement.
• Create a record designed to mislead a third party about what was agreed, by whom, or when.
• Impersonate another person or misrepresent your relationship to a party.
• Publish a licence containing another person's private information.
• Attack the service or the networks it depends on, including attempts to exhaust them.

Demonstration status

This deployment runs against a test network with test tokens. Its data may be reset without notice, its behaviour may change without warning, and no availability is promised.

Do not use it as the system of record for a real agreement, and do not send funds to it expecting them back.

Demo actions — signing as a party with the server's stand-in key — prove nothing about who asked for them. They exist so the walkthrough runs, and they are labelled as demonstrations wherever they appear.

No warranty

The service is provided as it is, without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement.

Blockchain networks, RPC providers and wallet software are outside our control, and the availability of a proof depends on all three. A licence remains valid between its parties whether or not any of them is reachable.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent the law allows, no liability is accepted for lost profits, lost data, lost keys, missed transfers, or any indirect or consequential loss arising from the use of this service or from reliance on a record it produced.

Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot lawfully be limited.

Changes

These terms may change. The date at the top of this page is the date of the current version, and continuing to use the service after a change means accepting it. Records already anchored are unaffected — that is the point of anchoring them.
