Terms of Service

1. Introduction

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your use of the SIA NFC service at nfc.sia.vision and the main SIA platform at sia.vision (collectively, the “Service”), operated by Kant LTD, a private limited company registered in England and Wales (company number 16916607), with its registered office at 3rd Floor, 86-90 Paul Street, London, England, EC2A 4NE.

By accessing or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 16 years old to use the Service. By creating an account, you represent that you meet this age requirement and that all registration information you provide is truthful and accurate.

3. Your account

You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. You must notify us immediately of any unauthorized use. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms.

4. The Service

SIA provides:

• NFC provisioning — cryptographic provisioning, authentication, and verification of NFC-enabled physical objects (NTAG 424 DNA) linked to digital content and on-chain records.
• Story creation tools — AI-assisted creation of storyworlds, scenes, characters, scripts, images, and video.
• IP protection — on-chain registration of intellectual property, programmable licensing, and royalty management.
• Physical-digital linking — connecting physical objects to digital content via NFC tags with blockchain verification.

We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service at any time with reasonable notice.

5. Your content and intellectual property

You retain ownership of all content you create on the platform. By using the Service, you grant Kant LTD a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to host, store, reproduce, and display your content solely as necessary to provide and improve the Service. This licence terminates when you delete your content or your account, except where retention is required by law.

You represent that you have the right to upload and use all content you submit, and that your content does not infringe any third party’s intellectual property rights.

6. NFC provisioning and physical objects

NFC provisioning features are available to authenticated users with authorized devices. When using NFC services:

• You must keep device credentials, access tokens, and provisioning keys secure.
• You are responsible for the physical objects you provision with NFC tags.
• Provisioning is subject to device compatibility and tag specifications (NTAG 424 DNA).
• We are not liable for damage to physical objects during or after the provisioning process.
• Provisioned tags are bound to specific content and on-chain records; this binding cannot be reversed once recorded on-chain.

7. On-chain registration

When you register IP or verify NFC objects on-chain, transactions are recorded on public blockchain networks. You acknowledge that:

• Blockchain transactions are irreversible and publicly visible.
• On-chain data cannot be deleted due to the immutable nature of blockchain technology.
• Gas fees and network conditions are outside our control.

8. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• Use the Service for any unlawful purpose or in violation of applicable laws.
• Upload content that is defamatory, obscene, hateful, or infringes on any third party’s rights.
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to any part of the Service.
• Tamper with NFC tags, provisioning keys, or cryptographic verification mechanisms.
• Reverse-engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract source code from the Service.

9. Fees and payment

Certain features may require payment. Fees are stated at the time of purchase. Refunds are handled in accordance with applicable consumer protection laws.

10. Disclaimers

The Service is provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied. We do not guarantee that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure.

11. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Kant LTD shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising out of your use of the Service.

Our total aggregate liability shall not exceed the amount you paid us in the 12 months preceding the claim, or £100, whichever is greater.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, or any other liability that cannot be excluded under English law.

12. Termination

You may close your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access for conduct that violates these Terms. Sections relating to intellectual property, limitation of liability, and governing law survive termination.

13. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Disputes shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.

14. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be communicated via the platform or email at least 30 days before they take effect. Continued use constitutes acceptance.
