These Terms of Use govern your access to and use of swort.net and its subpages (the "Website"), operated by SWORT LLC ("SWORT", "we", "us"). Please read them before using the Website. If you do not agree, do not use the Website.
1. Acceptance of these Terms
By accessing, browsing, or submitting information through the Website, you agree to these Terms of Use and to our Privacy Policy. If you use the Website on behalf of an organization, you accept these Terms for that organization.
2. Authority to act for an organization
If you submit an inquiry, application, or booking on behalf of a company, university, agency, or other entity, you represent that you are authorized to do so and that the information you provide may be shared with SWORT for the purpose described at the point of collection.
3. Eligibility
The Website is intended for business, engineering, research, and professional audiences. It is not directed to children. See Children's privacy.
4. Informational purpose of this website
The Website provides general information about SWORT, its engineering practice, its research, and its products, including SSIL. Content is provided for general information only and may be updated, changed, or withdrawn at any time without notice.
Specifications, roadmaps, timelines, development status, and research results described on the Website may change. Research and validation results may carry stated limitations, including the conditions, sample sizes, and environments under which they were produced.
5. No engineering, safety, or legal advice
Do not rely on this Website for flight, operational, or safety decisions. Nothing on the Website constitutes engineering advice, airworthiness advice, aviation or operational safety advice, certification guidance, or legal or regulatory advice. Use of any information on the Website is at your own risk, and you remain responsible for your own designs, analyses, testing, certification activities, and operational decisions.
6. No binding offer or guaranteed availability
Nothing on the Website is an offer to sell, a quotation, a commitment to perform work, or a promise that any product, capability, evaluation, or service is or will be available. Descriptions of products or capabilities do not guarantee availability, fitness, performance, or delivery.
7. Website Terms are not customer contracts
These Terms govern use of the SWORT website. Engineering services, software access, evaluations, research collaborations, prototypes, licenses, and customer programs are governed only by separate written agreements executed by SWORT and the applicable customer or partner.
Accepting these Terms does not create a customer relationship, does not transfer or license any intellectual property to or from SWORT, does not authorize engineering work, and does not create any obligation for SWORT to begin, continue, or complete any project.
8. SWORT intellectual property and trademarks
The Website and its contents, including text, layout, graphics, diagrams, interface design, code, models, and documentation, are owned by SWORT or its licensors and are protected by applicable intellectual-property laws. Copyright protects the particular expression on this Website. It does not protect abstract ideas, general mathematical concepts, or engineering principles that are already publicly known.
"SWORT", "SSIL", "CSIA", and associated names, logos, and product identifiers are trademarks or service marks of SWORT LLC. You may not use them without prior written permission, except for ordinary descriptive reference to SWORT and its products.
9. SSIL and CSIA intellectual-property boundaries
SSIL
SSIL, the System State Integrity Layer, is SWORT's commercial system-state integrity product for civil, commercial, research, and non-sensitive aerospace applications. Access to and use of SSIL software, documentation, or evaluation material is governed by its applicable documentation, license, evaluation agreement, or customer contract, not by this Website. Publicly available information about SSIL does not grant you ownership of, or a license to, SWORT software, trademarks, designs, documentation, or implementations.
CSIA
CSIA, the Cross-Sensor Intelligence Architecture, is protected SWORT intellectual property developed for mission-critical and defense-oriented applications. CSIA is not made available through general public access to this Website. Any public description of CSIA is provided at a capability level only and does not grant any license or right to access, reproduce, derive from, reverse engineer, or reimplement protected SWORT implementations. Access to CSIA material, where it occurs at all, is governed by separate controlled agreements and may be subject to export-control and other legal requirements.
10. Restrictions on use of the website
You agree not to:
- Copy, reproduce, republish, or redistribute Website content beyond ordinary personal or internal business reference, or as permitted by applicable law;
- Scrape, crawl beyond ordinary search-engine indexing, harvest, or use automated tools to extract Website content in bulk;
- Compile Website content into a dataset, corpus, or index for redistribution;
- Use Website content to train, fine-tune, or evaluate machine-learning or generative models without prior written permission from SWORT;
- Reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or attempt to derive protected implementations from any material made available through the Website;
- Circumvent, disable, probe, or interfere with security, access controls, or rate limiting;
- Introduce malware, interfere with the Website's operation, or impose an unreasonable load on our infrastructure;
- Use the Website for any unlawful purpose or in violation of applicable export-control or sanctions law.
Ordinary indexing by widely used search engines that respect our robots.txt is permitted.
11. User submissions and unsolicited ideas
If you submit information through a form, email, or other channel, you represent that you have the right to provide it. Unless a separate signed agreement, such as a non-disclosure agreement, is already in effect and covers the submission:
- Your submission is not confidential and does not create a confidential relationship;
- SWORT has no obligation to review, evaluate, keep, return, or act on unsolicited ideas or proposals;
- SWORT has no obligation to compensate you for unsolicited submissions;
- SWORT may use unsolicited general feedback about the Website without restriction or compensation.
Do not send third-party confidential information, or information you are contractually or legally prohibited from disclosing.
12. Controlled and restricted information
Do not submit classified information, Controlled Unclassified Information, export-controlled technical data, third-party confidential information, sensitive personal information, or proprietary engineering files through this Website or through ordinary email. SWORT will provide an approved secure intake method when required.
The Website and general business email are not approved systems for classified information, Controlled Unclassified Information, or export-controlled technical data. If you submit such material anyway, you do so at your own risk and in breach of these Terms, and SWORT may delete it, decline to review it, or take other steps consistent with applicable law.
13. Export control and sanctions
SWORT operates from the United States. Certain technical data, software, and services may be subject to United States export-control laws and regulations, including the Export Administration Regulations and the International Traffic in Arms Regulations, and to economic sanctions administered by the United States Department of the Treasury. You may not access or use the Website, or receive any SWORT material, in violation of those laws. You represent that you are not located in, organized under the laws of, or ordinarily resident in a sanctioned jurisdiction, and that you are not a party restricted under applicable trade-control lists.
14. Third-party links and services
The Website links to and relies on third-party services, including hosting, form handling, scheduling, font delivery, and advertising or analytics technologies described in our Cookie Policy. SWORT does not control those services and is not responsible for their content, availability, or practices. Your use of a third-party service is governed by that provider's terms and privacy policy.
15. Website availability
The Website is provided on an "as available" basis. We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Website at any time, and we do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation.
16. Disclaimer of warranties
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Website and its content are provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, accuracy, and non-infringement.
SWORT does not warrant that Website content is accurate, complete, current, or suitable for any particular purpose. Technical descriptions, research summaries, and validation results are provided for general information and may be simplified, superseded, or subject to stated limitations.
17. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, SWORT and its members, officers, employees, and contractors will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost revenue, lost data, business interruption, or procurement of substitute goods or services, arising out of or relating to your use of, or inability to use, the Website, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.
Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations or exclusions, so some of the above may not apply to you. Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited under applicable law.
18. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless SWORT and its members, officers, employees, and contractors from and against claims, damages, losses, and reasonable expenses arising out of your misuse of the Website, your violation of these Terms, your violation of applicable law, or your submission of material you were not authorized to provide.
19. Intellectual-property enforcement
Unauthorized copying, scraping, dataset creation, model training, reverse engineering, or misuse of SWORT intellectual property may cause harm for which monetary damages are an inadequate remedy. SWORT may seek injunctive or other equitable relief, in addition to any other remedies available at law, without limiting any other rights.
20. General provisions
Severability. If a provision of these Terms is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in effect, and the unenforceable provision will be applied to the maximum extent permitted.
Assignment. You may not assign or transfer these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of assets.
Waiver. A failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of the right to enforce it later.
Electronic communications. When you use the Website or send us information, you consent to receive communications from us electronically, and you agree that electronic communications satisfy any legal requirement that a communication be in writing.
Entire agreement for website use. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy, govern your use of the Website. They do not replace any separate signed agreement between you and SWORT.
21. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. The effective date and last-updated date appear at the top of this page. Material changes will be reflected by an updated effective date. Continued use of the Website after an update means you accept the revised Terms.
