§ 01Acceptance, Scope & Global Enterprise Authority
These Terms of Use ("Terms") are an agreement between you and Chkdin ("Chkdin", "Chkdin AI", "we" or "us"). They govern access to all web properties at chkdin.com/ai, technical documentation, field benchmarks, and the preliminary evaluation of Chkdin AI edge nodes. "Customer" means the organization that evaluates, purchases or deploys Chkdin AI hardware or software.
If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the website or evaluate Chkdin AI products.
Hierarchy of agreements
If these Terms conflict with a signed Master Hardware & Software License Agreement (MHSLA), defense procurement contract or Mutual NDA, the executed bilateral agreement prevails to the extent of the conflict.
§ 02Intellectual Property Rights & Hardware-Enclave Protection
Exclusive proprietary ownership
All rights, title and interest in the Proprietary Low-Latency Vision-AI Engine, neural network weights, quantized inference pipelines, the Volatile Memory Processing architecture, firmware, HUD interfaces, website content and hardware schematics belong exclusively to Chkdin or its licensors. No rights are granted except as expressly stated in these Terms or a signed agreement.
Anti-tampering and anti-reverse-engineering covenants
You and any third party acting for you must not:
- Decompile, disassemble or reverse-engineer, or attempt to extract model weights or source binaries from, any Integrated Neural Compute Core or edge enclosure, except to the extent that applicable law expressly permits this despite this restriction.
- Tamper with, bypass or probe the Hardware-Enclave Cryptographic Binding, secure boot chain or physical tamper-evident seals.
- Publish benchmarks or comparative performance tests of Chkdin AI products without our prior written consent.
- Re-label, sub-license or resell Chkdin AI hardware or software without an authorized Systems Integrator Agreement.
§ 03Global Regulatory & Lawful Deployment Obligations
Chkdin AI operates as an air-gapped, on-premise technology provider and has no remote access to Customer environments. Customer therefore warrants and covenants that:
- Jurisdictional biometric and surveillance compliance. Customer has obtained all statutory approvals, public signage notices, regulatory clearances and individual consents required where the system is deployed, including, without limitation, under India's DPDP Act 2023, the EU and UK GDPR, the EU AI Act (including any high-risk system obligations), US state biometric laws such as the Illinois BIPA, and applicable labor and union laws.
- Authorized watchlists and databases. Any identity vectors, permit-to-work records, driver licenses or access watchlists that Customer loads into local edge memory are lawfully sourced and are not used for unlawful discrimination.
- No unlawful mass surveillance. Customer will not deploy Chkdin AI in violation of international human rights obligations or any applicable statutory prohibition.
Our Global Privacy Policy explains how Chkdin itself handles personal data.
§ 04Vertical-Specific Operational Disclaimers & Failsafe Mandates
The following allocates operational responsibility across the verticals Chkdin AI supports:
§ 05Human-in-the-Loop & Mission-Critical Failsafe Rule
Customer agrees to maintain qualified human-in-the-loop oversight and independent physical or mechanical failsafes for all high-consequence physical barriers, heavy-machinery relays and emergency evacuation systems connected to, or informed by, Chkdin AI.
§ 06Global Export Control, Dual-Use & Sanctions Compliance
Chkdin AI hardware and cryptographic edge software may be subject to the export control and economic sanctions laws of India (including the SCOMET list - Special Chemicals, Organisms, Materials, Equipment and Technologies), the United States (including the EAR and, where applicable, ITAR), the European Union and the Wassenaar Arrangement.
Customer warrants that it is not located in, controlled by, or a national or resident of any embargoed jurisdiction, and is not on any restricted-party list. Customer will not export, re-export or transfer Chkdin AI hardware or software to any restricted destination, end-user or end-use without all required authorizations.
§ 07Disclaimer of Warranties & Limitation of Liability
Website and informational content
Content on chkdin.com/ai, including field benchmarks, specifications and architectural diagrams, is provided "as is" for enterprise evaluation and may change without notice. Performance figures reflect test conditions and are not a guarantee of results in a specific deployment. Hardware and software warranties are governed exclusively by the executed MHSLA.
Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Chkdin will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, punitive or special damages, loss of profits, operational downtime or third-party claims arising from Customer's misconfiguration, network environment, physical installation or failure to maintain statutory compliance. Chkdin's aggregate liability will not exceed the fees paid by Customer for the specific unit or license giving rise to the claim during the twelve (12) months preceding the claim.
Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited under applicable law, such as liability for fraud or for death or personal injury caused by negligence.
§ 08Indemnification
Customer agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Chkdin, its directors, engineers and affiliates from and against all claims, regulatory fines, damages and legal costs arising out of:
- Customer's breach of § 03 (Lawful Deployment and Biometric Consent Warranties);
- unauthorized physical or software modification of edge nodes; or
- operational accidents resulting from Customer's failure to maintain the physical safety failsafes required by § 05.
§ 09Governing Law, Dispute Resolution & Official Legal Contact
