ToneThread™ – Terms of Use & Intellectual Property Statement
Effective: 1 April 2025
Last updated: [Insert date]
Welcome to ToneThread™, home of the Spectral Binary™ framework—a new way of understanding tone, emotion, and resonance in language. Before you explore or use our tools, please take a moment to understand how we protect our work, and what that means for you.
1. Our Intellectual Property
Everything on this site—including the Spectral Binary™ framework, Spectral Cognitive Mapping™, TuneMind™, and all emotional tone models and interpretations—is original work, developed with care, research, and lived experience.
These systems are protected under:
-
Australian copyright and trademark law
-
International treaties (Berne Convention, TRIPS)
-
Trade secret and digital copyright laws
We reserve all rights to our methods, logic, and technology. This means you can’t copy, modify, repackage, or reverse-engineer our system—even in part—without permission.
2. Use of Our Platform
You’re welcome to use ToneThread for personal, non-commercial insight and exploration. But you may not:
-
Claim ownership of our outputs or ideas
-
Use ToneThread in commercial products or apps
-
Resell or rebrand our technology
-
Mine or replicate the logic without consent
We’re open to collaboration, but only in resonance—not replication.
3. What Happens If You Violate These Terms
Using our system without permission—especially copying or adapting the core logic behind Spectral Binary™—is considered intellectual property theft. Legal action may be taken under copyright, trademark, and trade secret law. This could include:
-
Cease and desist orders
-
Claims for damages
-
International enforcement through IP treaties
ToneThread is a signal, not a shortcut. Please honour the work, and the people behind it.
4. Licence Overview
We offer a limited, revocable licence for personal use. If you're a researcher, educator, or want to use our tools in a commercial or public-facing way, just reach out. We love collaboration—but only where there’s alignment, transparency, and ethical clarity.
5. Respect & Harm-Free Use
ToneThread is built to support neurodivergent thinking, emotional honesty, and inclusive dialogue. Please don’t use it in ways that cause harm, exclude others, or misrepresent what it’s for. This is a tool for understanding—not manipulation.
6. Updates
We may update these terms over time. If we do, we’ll post the new version here. Continued use means you’re on board with the changes.
7. Questions or Permissions?
We’d love to hear from you—especially if you're interested in working together.
