LOCKLegal · Founding Preview
Terms of Use
These Terms govern your use of https://si-lock.com and participation in the S◉LOCK Founding Preview early-access / early-purchase interest programme. By using the site or submitting the access form, you agree to these Terms. Licensed software (when delivered) will be governed by a separate licence agreement provided at invitation or purchase.
1. Who we are
S◉LOCK is published by VF Empire Ltd. Marks are in use; trademark registration may be pending.
2. Founding Preview — important status
- S◉LOCK is offered as a limited Founding Preview, not a finished general-availability product.
- Features, packages, timelines, and hardware profiles may change as engineering matures.
- Descriptions of future packages (creative tools, communications, Helmsman, security, verticals) are a product horizon, not a guaranteed ship date or feature checklist in any single release.
- We may decline, delay, or revoke an invitation if hardware, jurisdiction, or programme capacity does not fit.
3. Early-access form
Submitting the form is a request for contact, not a binding purchase. No public self-serve checkout is promised on this site until we enable it. Pricing, seat type (Home / Pro / Enterprise), and hardware expectations are confirmed on invitation.
4. Acceptable use of this website
You agree not to:
- Attack, scrape abusively, or disrupt the site or related infrastructure;
- Submit false or misleading contact details for spam or fraud;
- Misrepresent affiliation with VF Empire Ltd or S◉LOCK;
- Use the site in violation of applicable law.
5. Intellectual property
Site content, branding, logos, and product names (including S◉LOCK / SILOCK and Helmsman) are owned by VF Empire Ltd or its licensors. You may not copy marketing materials for commercial use without permission. “S◉LOCK” and related marks are used to identify the product; third-party names (if mentioned) belong to their owners and imply no endorsement.
6. No professional advice
Content on this site is general product information. It is not legal, medical, financial, or security advice. Future vertical packages (if any) will carry their own terms and regulatory constraints.
7. Hardware, models, and performance
- Hardware is purchased and maintained by you. Published requirements are guidance; invitation confirms fit.
- Model weights (including large open models) are obtained under their own licences; you are responsible for compliance and storage.
- Performance of large local models depends on your machine. We do not guarantee cloud-equivalent interactive speed for multi-trillion-parameter local runs.
8. Disclaimer of warranties
THE SITE AND PROGRAMME INFORMATION ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW. Nothing on this site guarantees uninterrupted access or error-free content.
9. Limitation of liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, VF EMPIRE LTD SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, OR GOODWILL, ARISING FROM USE OF THE SITE OR RELIANCE ON FOUNDING PREVIEW INFORMATION. OUR AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR CLAIMS ARISING FROM THE SITE SHALL NOT EXCEED ONE HUNDRED EURO (€100) OR THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US (IF ANY) FOR SITE-RELATED SERVICES IN THE PRIOR TWELVE MONTHS, WHICHEVER IS GREATER. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW CERTAIN LIMITATIONS; IN THOSE CASES OUR LIABILITY IS LIMITED TO THE MAXIMUM PERMITTED.
10. Indemnity
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless VF Empire Ltd from claims arising from your misuse of the site or violation of these Terms, to the extent permitted by law.
11. Privacy
Personal data is handled as described in our Privacy Policy.
12. Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales, without regard to conflict of law rules, unless mandatory consumer protections in your country of residence apply. Courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction, subject to mandatory rights you may have to bring proceedings in your home jurisdiction.
13. Changes
We may update these Terms. Continued use of the site after the effective date means you accept the updated Terms. Material changes may be highlighted on this page.
