Terms of Service
Ground Effect

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the website operated by Ground Effect (“we”, “our”, “us”) at groundeffect.ai and any related services, proposals, or engagements we provide.

By accessing our website or engaging our services, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use our website or services.

Ground Effect provides AI automation, systems integration, and related consulting services, including but not limited to AI Systems Reviews, the HiveMYND platform, revenue-share and co-founding partnerships, and the Humaneer AI Readiness Program.

Specific deliverables, timelines, and fees for any engagement are set out in a separate Statement of Work or agreement, which supplements these Terms.

You agree not to:

• Use the website for any unlawful purpose or in violation of any applicable laws.
• Attempt to gain unauthorised access to any portion of the website, other accounts, or computer systems.
• Probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of the website, or interfere with its security.
• Use the website to transmit viruses, malware, or any other malicious code.
• Scrape, copy, or redistribute substantial content from the website without our written permission.

All content on this website — including text, graphics, logos, code, designs, and the Ground Effect name and marks — is owned by us or our licensors and is protected by applicable intellectual-property laws.

You may view and reference our website content for personal or internal business evaluation purposes. Any other use requires our prior written consent.

In any engagement, intellectual property created specifically for you (deliverables) is governed by the Statement of Work. We retain ownership of our pre-existing tools, frameworks, and methodologies.

Each party may receive confidential information from the other. Confidential information will be used only for the purposes of the engagement and protected with at least the same degree of care as the receiving party uses for its own confidential information (and no less than reasonable care).

Confidentiality obligations continue for a period specified in the applicable agreement, or three (3) years from disclosure where no period is specified.

If you submit feedback, suggestions, or ideas to us, you grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free, perpetual, and worldwide licence to use them for any purpose, without obligation of attribution or compensation.

You are responsible for any content you provide and confirm that you have the right to share it.

Our services and deliverables may integrate with or rely on third-party platforms and providers (such as cloud hosting, AI model providers, or communication tools). We are not responsible for the availability, accuracy, or practices of those third parties, and your use of them is subject to their own terms.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, our website and any related content are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis, without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement.

We do not warrant that the website will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of harmful components, or that any content is accurate or complete.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Ground Effect will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits, revenue, data, or goodwill, arising out of or related to your use of our website or services.

Where liability cannot be excluded, our aggregate liability for any claim arising under these Terms is limited to the amount you paid us for the relevant service in the twelve (12) months preceding the claim, or AUD $100 if no payment has been made.

You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from any claims, losses, damages, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your breach of these Terms, your misuse of the website, or your violation of any law or third-party right.

We may suspend or terminate your access to the website at any time, with or without notice, for conduct that violates these Terms or is otherwise harmful to other users or us. Provisions of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination will do so.

These Terms are governed by the laws of Queensland, Australia. You and we submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Queensland and the Commonwealth of Australia for any disputes arising under or in connection with these Terms.

We may update these Terms from time to time. The current version will always be published on this page with the “Last updated” date below. Continued use of our website or services after a change constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
