awebitaL I/O — Terms of Service, Liability Shield & Privacy Policy

1. Scope of Services & Deliverables

awebitaL I/O ("awebitaL", "we", "us") provides cross-platform workflow and reconciliation automation, combinatorial resource optimization, automated static and dynamic software analysis, AST cartography, Golden-Master execution trace benchmarking, algorithmic optimization, and differential code equivalence reports ("Deliverables"). All Deliverables are technical diagnostics and engineering artifacts intended solely for review by qualified software engineers prior to production deployment.

2. No Warranty & "As-Is" Engineering Diagnostic Disclaimer

All Deliverables, patches, diffs, mathematical proofs, and diagnostic reports are provided strictly "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE."

• Not a Guarantee of Zero Defects: Software verification and invariant analysis evaluate specific mathematical properties and bounded execution traces; they do not guarantee that a codebase is free from all bugs, security vulnerabilities, economic exploits, or runtime failures.
• Operator Responsibility: You (the "Client") retain sole and exclusive responsibility for reviewing, testing, staging, and approving any code modification or patch in your own environment before deploying to production or mainnet.

3. Strict Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted under Australian law (including the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth) / Australian Consumer Law):

1. Exclusion of Consequential Loss: In no event shall awebitaL I/O or its operator be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or exemplary damages, including but not limited to loss of profits, loss of revenue, operational, financial, or system disruption, business interruption, data loss, or reputational harm arising out of or in connection with the use or inability to use any Deliverable or patch.
2. Hard Liability Cap: Our total cumulative liability for all claims arising out of or relating to any service or Deliverable shall not exceed the exact fee actually paid by you to awebitaL I/O for that specific Deliverable (or AUD $100.00 if no fee was paid).
3. Australian Consumer Law (ACL) Statutory Remedies: Where the Australian Consumer Law applies and prohibits the exclusion of specific statutory guarantees, our liability for breach of any non-excludable guarantee is strictly limited (at our option) to: (a) supplying the services again, or (b) payment of the cost of having the services supplied again.

4. Pricing, Settlement & Refund Policy (Stripe Compliance)

• Currency & Payment: Prices are stated in USD or AUD as indicated at checkout and processed securely via Stripe.
• Diagnostic Reports & Engineering Deliverables: Because instant digital unlocks provide immediate access to proprietary cryptographic proofs, line-level vulnerability coordinates, and surgical patch diffs, fees for instant digital report unlocks are non-refundable once the unredacted report or diff has been delivered, EXCEPT where the delivered patch fails to compile or fails to reproduce/resolve the stated fault on the exact commit SHA submitted at intake, in which case a 100% full refund will be issued upon verification within 14 days.

5. Intellectual Property & Confidentiality

• Your Code: You retain 100% ownership of all source code and repositories submitted to awebitaL I/O. Submitted repositories are processed in isolated, non-web-root quarantine environments and are not shared with third parties.
• Delivered Patches: Upon full payment, awebitaL I/O grants you a perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free, irrevocable license to use, modify, and deploy the delivered patches and diagnostic reports within your systems. awebitaL I/O retains ownership of its underlying analysis engines, AST cartography tools, and verification harnesses.

6. Privacy Policy (Privacy Act 1988 (Cth))

• Data Collected: We collect only the minimum information required to deliver your diagnostic and process payment: your email address, submitted repository/URL identifiers, and billing metadata processed directly by Stripe (we never store raw credit card numbers on our servers).
• Use & Retention: Submitted source code artifacts used for one-off diagnostics are purged from active quarantine storage within 30 days of delivery unless continuous monitoring is explicitly requested. We never sell or rent user data.
• Governing Law: These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Queensland and the Commonwealth of Australia.
