By accessing or using aleqth.com, ankle.website, the ANKLE browser extension, the @⌘ command tools, or any related service (together, the "Service"), you agree to these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
You must be 18 years or older and able to form a binding contract. By using the Service you represent that you meet these requirements. If you use the Service on behalf of an organization, you represent that you are authorized to bind it. Account creation requires an affirmative click-through acceptance of these Terms, acknowledgement of the Privacy Notice, and acceptance of the Community & Acceptable Use Rules. Do not create an account or use account features if you do not agree.
ANKLE is an experimental cultural operating system offered as an early "Operator Preview." Features are incomplete, may change or break, and are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. We may add, modify, suspend, or remove any feature at any time without notice or liability.
You are responsible for your account, your credentials, and all activity under it. Provide accurate information and keep it current. Notify us promptly of any unauthorized use. We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms.
The Service lets you assemble worlds and systems from ANKLE features, ANKLE applications, Whop experiences, and other third-party applications. You decide which applications to install, what permissions to grant, what content or data to send to them, and who may access your system. An installed application is a capability, not the legal or canonical owner of your world. Third-party applications may have their own terms, privacy notices, availability, fees, and moderation rules. Review them before installation or use.
You are responsible for the legality, accuracy, permissions, disclosures, pricing, refund terms, and operation of systems you create. Do not represent that ANKLE or Whop endorses your world, application, offer, token, agent, content, or business unless you have written authorization. We may disable an integration or application that creates security, legal, financial, or platform risk.
Ankle (lowercase) is an internal platform credit used to operate paid features. It is not money, not a deposit, not redeemable for cash, and has no value outside the Service. Purchases of ankle are generally final and non-refundable except where required by law or expressly stated at purchase.
Payments may be processed by Stripe or Whop and are also subject to the processor's checkout terms and privacy policy. We do not store full card numbers. The price, billing interval, renewal terms, and any material purchase conditions are shown at checkout. If you buy a recurring plan, you authorize recurring charges until you cancel through the available account or processor controls; cancellation stops future renewals and does not ordinarily refund a completed billing period. Contact us promptly about billing errors. Nothing here limits refund, cancellation, or dispute rights that cannot legally be waived.
$ANKLE token disclaimer. Any reference to a "$ANKLE" token is informational only. $ANKLE is not offered or sold as a security or investment. We make no promise of profit, return, buyback, burn, payout, or appreciation. No token buyback, payout, or economic-return mechanism is live, and nothing in the Service is financial, investment, tax, or legal advice. You are solely responsible for your own decisions and any taxes.
Where the Service records "ownership," a "verified" badge, "collected" works, connected domains, or transfers of paintings or objects, these are records within the ANKLE system and authentication signals — not legal title, provenance guarantees, or transfer of intellectual-property or real-world rights unless a separate written agreement says so. Records may be corrected, reassigned, or removed to fix errors or enforce these Terms.
You retain ownership of content you lawfully submit ("User Content"). You grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, display, and process User Content as needed to operate and improve the Service. You represent that you have the rights to your User Content and that it does not infringe others' rights or violate law. We may remove User Content at our discretion.
The Service lets you use or configure automated agents and AI-generated output. You are responsible for anything you direct an agent to do and for reviewing agent output before relying on it. AI output may be inaccurate; do not treat it as professional advice. Agents may act only within the permissions and transaction limits actually granted to them; conversational statements do not by themselves authorize payments, transfers, publication, destructive changes, or legally binding commitments. We are not liable for actions taken by agents you configure or instruct to the maximum extent permitted by law.
ANKLE lets people build a "world" around a word or symbol — which may include a band, a brand, a scene, a business, a meme, or a market symbol/ticker. ANKLE is a cultural layer only. Worlds and words are not investments, and creating or entering a world is not financial promotion. Any coin, token, or ticker referenced in a world is created and traded by third parties on external venues; ANKLE does not issue, endorse, sell, or facilitate the sale of any such token and is not affiliated with it. Do not use the Service to promote securities, solicit investment, or make misleading financial claims.
The current Community & Acceptable Use Rules form part of these Terms.
The Service, excluding User Content, is owned by ANKLE and its licensors. These Terms grant you a limited, revocable, non-transferable license to use the Service for its intended purpose. If you believe content infringes your copyright, contact alex@aleqth.com with the material, its location, your contact information, and a good-faith statement; we will respond consistent with applicable law (e.g., DMCA).
THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, ERROR-FREE, OR THAT ANY CONTENT, RECORD, OR OUTPUT IS ACCURATE OR RELIABLE.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANKLE AND ITS MEMBERS, MANAGERS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, GOODWILL, OR TOKENS/CREDITS. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE 3 MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT, OR (B) US $100.
You will indemnify and hold harmless ANKLE and its members, managers, employees, and agents from any claims, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your User Content, your use of the Service, your agents, or your violation of these Terms or law.
You may stop using the Service at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access at any time, with or without cause. Sections that by their nature should survive (e.g., 4–6, 8, 10–15) survive termination.
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY — THIS AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS. Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service will be resolved by binding individual arbitration seated in Maryland, rather than in court, except that either party may bring qualifying claims in small-claims court. You and ANKLE waive any right to a jury trial and to participate in a class, collective, or representative action. These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Maryland, excluding conflict-of-laws rules. If the class-action waiver is found unenforceable, the arbitration provision is void as to that claim and it will be heard in the courts of Maryland. You may opt out of arbitration within 30 days of first acceptance by emailing alex@aleqth.com with "Arbitration Opt-Out."
We may update these Terms. Material changes will be indicated by an updated effective date and in-Service notice where appropriate. We may require a new click-through acceptance before further account use. Changes do not retroactively authorize optional processing or transactions that required separate consent.
