Terms of Use

These Terms apply to the public website located at hashtagdobro.com and its subpages that link to these Terms (the “Site”). The Site provides information about #Dobro, our current service capabilities, public research directions, editorial content, and planned products or merchandise.

The Site is not itself a statement of work, software license, professional-services agreement, product warranty, purchase agreement, confidentiality agreement, partnership, joint venture, fiduciary relationship, or offer to enter into any particular transaction. Any paid engagement, pilot, prototype, software access, product sale, licensing arrangement, or other commercial relationship requires a separate written agreement accepted by #Dobro.

You may use the Site only if you can lawfully agree to these Terms. If you use the Site on behalf of a company or other organization, you represent that you have authority to act for that organization with respect to the use you make of the Site and any submission you send.

The Site is not directed to children under 13. Persons under 18 should not submit business inquiries, confidential materials, or enter into commercial arrangements through the Site.

Content on the Site is provided for general informational, educational, editorial, and business-development purposes. It may discuss software, artificial intelligence, data, cybersecurity, buildings, energy, IoT, robotics, construction, legal or regulatory concepts, and other technical subjects. Site content is not legal, accounting, tax, investment, medical, architectural, engineering, code-compliance, safety, cybersecurity, or other licensed professional advice.

You are responsible for obtaining qualified professional advice where the stakes, law, safety, contractual obligations, building codes, regulated activities, or circumstances require it. Do not rely on public Site content as the sole basis for a safety-critical, regulated, financial, legal, employment, housing, health, or other consequential decision.

“Labs,” “Ideas,” diagrams, technical notes, theses, mockups, conceptual objects, prototypes, research directions, and statements about future technology may describe hypotheses, experiments, areas of interest, or possible future capabilities. They are not product announcements, specifications, certifications, guarantees, commitments to ship, or evidence that a system is commercially available, production-ready, safe for a particular use, or approved by any regulator.

Technologies, markets, laws, standards, models, vendors, and research change quickly. We may revise, discontinue, or contradict earlier public material as evidence changes. Dates and version context matter.

#Dobro may use artificial intelligence and other computational tools in research, development, drafting, prototyping, analysis, or internal workflows. AI-assisted material can contain errors, omissions, outdated information, or outputs that vary between runs. Public material should not be interpreted as a representation that an AI system has been independently validated for your particular purpose.

Any customer-facing AI system, automated action, data use, model choice, warranty, service level, or allocation of responsibility will be governed by the applicable written agreement, not by general statements on this Site.

The Site, its original text, designs, diagrams, software, interfaces, graphics, visual systems, research presentations, brand elements, and other original materials are owned by or licensed to #Dobro and are protected by applicable intellectual-property and unfair- competition laws. Third-party names, marks, software, and materials remain the property of their respective owners.

Subject to these Terms, #Dobro grants you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to access and use the public Site for lawful personal or internal business evaluation. No other license is granted by implication, estoppel, or otherwise.

Additional rules for our marks, public content, automated access, quotations, linking, and brand references appear in the Intellectual Property & Brand Use Policy.

You may not use the Site to:

• violate law, regulation, court order, contract, privacy right, or intellectual-property right;
• introduce malware, destructive code, credential-harvesting mechanisms, or unauthorized surveillance;
• interfere with, overload, probe, bypass, or defeat security or access controls except as expressly permitted by our published security policy;
• impersonate #Dobro, falsely suggest endorsement, or use confusingly similar branding, domains, handles, or interfaces;
• copy, scrape, harvest, or systematically extract Site content for commercial republication, dataset creation, model training, competitive replication, or resale except with written permission or where applicable law gives you a non-waivable right;
• remove copyright, trademark, provenance, authorship, or other rights notices; or
• use Site content or access in a manner that could reasonably create safety, security, legal, or reputational risk for #Dobro or others.

Public search-engine indexing and other automated access that we expressly permit through applicable robots directives or written authorization are not prohibited merely because they are automated.

You retain ownership of materials you lawfully submit through the Site. You grant #Dobro a limited, worldwide, royalty-free license to receive, reproduce, store, review, analyze, and internally share the submission only as reasonably necessary to evaluate it, respond to you, protect the Site, keep appropriate business records, and comply with law.

Submitting material does not create a contractual duty of confidentiality, exclusivity, compensation, development, review, or response unless a separate written agreement signed by #Dobro expressly provides otherwise. We may already be developing or later independently develop concepts, products, systems, or services that are similar to ideas described in a submission. Similarity alone does not establish that #Dobro used or misappropriated your submission.

Feedback specifically about #Dobro’s Site, services, branding, or public materials may be used by #Dobro without restriction or compensation, provided we do not claim ownership of pre-existing intellectual property that you clearly identify as yours.

See the full Idea Submission & Confidentiality Notice.

The Site may link to or depend on third-party hosting, infrastructure, communications, software, libraries, repositories, or websites. Third parties operate under their own terms and privacy practices. #Dobro does not control and is not responsible for third-party content, availability, security, representations, or practices merely because a link or integration exists.

Open-source software included in the Site remains subject to the applicable open-source licenses. Nothing in these Terms overrides rights expressly granted by those licenses.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE SITE AND ITS CONTENT ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, AVAILABILITY, SECURITY, OR THAT THE SITE WILL BE ERROR-FREE OR UNINTERRUPTED.

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain warranty exclusions. In those jurisdictions, exclusions apply only to the extent permitted by law.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, #DOBRO AND ITS OWNERS, MANAGERS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, AFFILIATES, LICENSORS, AND SERVICE PROVIDERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, GOODWILL, BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY, OR USE, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE PUBLIC SITE OR RELIANCE ON ITS CONTENT.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, #DOBRO’S AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING FROM THE PUBLIC SITE AND THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) US $100 OR (B) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID #DOBRO SPECIFICALLY FOR ACCESS TO THE PUBLIC SITE DURING THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM.

These limitations do not exclude liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited. Separate written agreements for paid services or products may allocate risk differently.

To the extent permitted by law, if you use the Site on behalf of a business or organization, that organization will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless #Dobro and its personnel from third-party claims, losses, liabilities, and reasonable costs arising from your unlawful use of the Site, violation of these Terms, or submission of material that infringes or misappropriates another person’s rights. This obligation does not apply to the extent a claim was caused by #Dobro’s own unlawful conduct.

Store concepts, apparel mockups, objects, prices if any, or other future-product material displayed before checkout is activated are previews only and are not offers for sale. When commerce is activated, separate sale, shipping, return, warranty, and other terms may apply and will be presented before purchase where required.

Our collection and handling of personal information through the Site is described in the Privacy Policy and Cookie & Tracking Notice. Security reporting guidance appears in the Security & Responsible Disclosure Policy.

These Terms and disputes arising from the public Site are governed by the laws of the State of Nebraska, without regard to conflict-of-law principles, except to the extent federal law controls or applicable law requires otherwise.

Unless a separate written agreement provides otherwise or applicable law requires another forum, exclusive jurisdiction and venue for disputes arising from these Terms or the public Site will lie in the state courts located in Douglas County, Nebraska, or the applicable federal court serving that location. You and #Dobro consent to personal jurisdiction in those courts.

We may update these Terms when the Site, our practices, or applicable law changes. The “Effective” date identifies the current version. Changes apply prospectively when posted unless law requires another form of notice or consent.

If a provision is held unenforceable, it will be enforced to the maximum extent permitted and the remaining provisions will remain effective. Failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. Headings are for convenience and do not limit meaning.

Questions, privacy requests, intellectual-property concerns, security reports, accessibility issues, and other legal requests relating to the Site may be submitted through our Legal / Privacy Request form. Formal notices under a separately signed agreement must follow the notice procedure in that agreement.
