Terms of Use

1. Acceptance

By using any DRM3 product you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, do not use our products.

2. Eligibility & Restricted Jurisdictions

You must be at least 18 years old to use DRM3 products. By using our products you represent that you meet this requirement.

DRM3 products are operated from the United States and are subject to U.S. sanctions and export-control laws. They are not offered to, and may not be accessed or used by, any person located in, ordinarily resident in, or organized under the laws of a jurisdiction subject to comprehensive U.S. sanctions (currently Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria, and the Crimea, Donetsk, and Luhansk regions of Ukraine), or any person identified on the U.S. Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons (SDN) List or any equivalent restricted-party list. By using DRM3 products you represent that you are not such a person and are not acting on behalf of one. We may use geolocation, wallet-address screening, and other reasonable measures to enforce these restrictions, and may block, suspend, or terminate access accordingly, without liability.

3. Alpha Software

All DRM3 products are alpha software under active development. They may contain bugs, errors, or incomplete features. Use at your own risk.

4. No Warranty

Products are provided "as is" without warranty of any kind, express or implied. DRM3 Labs Corp. does not guarantee uptime, accuracy, or fitness for any particular purpose.

5. Blockchain Transactions

Transactions on the Base network are irreversible. DRM3 Labs Corp. is not responsible for lost, stolen, or misdirected tokens, failed transactions, gas costs, or smart contract outcomes.

6. World News RAG

World News RAG collects articles from publicly distributed RSS and Atom feeds. The public interface operates as a news index, displaying original publisher headlines, source attribution, brief summaries, and links to the original articles. All source content (article text, images, and publisher metadata) remains the intellectual property of its original publisher. DRM3 does not claim ownership of any third-party content. Analytical metadata generated by DRM3 (including but not limited to bias scores, entity extractions, sentiment analyses, momentum signals, topic classifications, content scores, and structured fields) is the intellectual property of DRM3 Labs Corp., is available only to authenticated administrative users and API consumers, and may be used in downstream products and services.

All analysis, classifications, entity extraction, sentiment scores, and momentum signals displayed on news.drm3.network are generated by AI models and represent the system's interpretation of article text. They are not verified facts, financial advice, or independently confirmed market data. Momentum signals are AI-synthesized interpretations of article content, not verified market data or live price feeds.

Images displayed on article cards and detail pages are sourced from the original publisher's RSS feed or article metadata. Image rights belong to the original publisher.

DRM3 respects machine-readable consent signals. Before fetching any feed, the pipeline checks robots.txt (for DRM3Bot and wildcard blocks), ai.txt (the TDM Reservation Protocol referenced by the EU AI Act), TDM-Reservation HTTP headers, and X-Robots-Tag directives. If any signal indicates opt-out, the feed is automatically quarantined in the next fetch cycle. Crawl-delay directives are honored up to a maximum of 10 seconds; a publisher-specified delay longer than 10 seconds is applied as a 10-second delay.

Publishers may also request manual removal of their feeds from the catalog at any time via drm3.io/publisher-opt-out. After ownership verification, removals are processed within 7 business days, including deletion of cached content.

7. AI-Generated Content

Multiple DRM3 products use AI models to generate analysis, summaries, signals, and classifications. AI-generated output may contain errors, hallucinations, or misinterpretations. Do not rely on AI-generated content for financial, legal, medical, or safety-critical decisions without independent verification.

8. Intellectual Property

All DRM3 products, source code, documentation, and branding are proprietary. Source code is not open source unless explicitly stated.

9. Limitation of Liability

In no event shall DRM3 Labs Corp. be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of our products.

10. Modifications

We reserve the right to modify these terms at any time. Continued use after modifications constitutes acceptance.

11. Pass Revocation & Provenance

Access passes are a license to use DRM3 services, not an unconditional right. DRM3 Labs Corp. may suspend or revoke a pass, along with the access, API keys, and tier benefits associated with it, where we determine, in our reasonable discretion, that it has been used to abuse, attack, or circumvent the service, to evade rate or usage limits, or otherwise in violation of these terms. A revocation may be recorded on-chain together with a reason, and may be reinstated once the issue is resolved.

We may also record on-chain provenance and verification attestations associated with a pass (for example, the level of identity or eligibility verification a holder has completed). These attestations do not contain personal data; they are references to verification we hold off-chain. If you believe a pass was revoked in error, contact inquiries@drm3.io.

12. Governing Law & Venue

These terms and any dispute arising out of or relating to them or to your use of any DRM3 product are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. Subject to the arbitration provision below, you and DRM3 Labs Corp. agree that the state and federal courts located in Delaware have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute not subject to arbitration, and you consent to personal jurisdiction and venue in those courts.

13. Arbitration

Except for claims that may be brought in small-claims court and except for disputes relating to intellectual property, any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these terms or your use of any DRM3 product shall be resolved by binding individual arbitration rather than in court. The arbitration shall be administered by an established arbitration provider and seated in Delaware, applying the governing law set out above. You may opt out of this arbitration provision by sending written notice to inquiries@drm3.io within 30 days of first accepting these terms.

14. Class-Action Waiver

You and DRM3 Labs Corp. agree that each may bring claims against the other only in an individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective, or representative proceeding. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. If this class-action waiver is found unenforceable as to a particular claim, that claim, and only that claim, shall be severed and may proceed in court.

15. Legal Entity

DRM3 products and services are operated by DRM3 Labs Corp., a Delaware corporation. References to “DRM3,” “we,” “us,” or “our” in these terms mean DRM3 Labs Corp. Notices may be sent to inquiries@drm3.io.

16. Your Account & Email

Your email address is the permanent identifier for your DRM3 account. It is your login credential and the identity by which DRM3 products recognize you across the network. For security and account integrity, the email on an account cannot be changed: we do not provide, and do not guarantee, any ability to change the email associated with an account. You may update other profile details (such as your display name or mobile number) at any time. If you need a different email, create a new account.
