1. Definitions
“Customer” means the organization or individual that holds an Atlas account. “User” means any person authorized to access the Service under a Customer account. “Customer Content” means information submitted to the Service by or on behalf of a Customer or User, including Business Profile data, prompts, API payloads, and corrections. “Order Form” means an online checkout, order, quote, or other document that specifies plan, fees, or term and references these Terms. “Service” means Atlas One and related hosted software, APIs, documentation, and support we make available under these Terms.
2. The Service
Atlas One is a business intelligence platform that connects governed external signals—including weather, hazards, traffic and mobility, and policy or trade developments—to a Customer’s confirmed business context, and returns ranked, evidence-backed intelligence through the console, APIs, and supported MCP hosts (such as Claude and ChatGPT).
The Service provides decision-support information only. It does not control your inventory, logistics, financial, customs, safety, or operational systems, and does not execute transactions, filings, or approvals on your behalf. You are solely responsible for evaluating outputs and for decisions you make based on them.
We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service. Features labeled beta, preview, experimental, or similar are provided as-is, may change without notice, and may be less reliable than generally available features.
Access may be invite-only during private beta. An invitation does not guarantee continued access, any particular feature set, or commercial terms.
3. Eligibility and accounts
You must be at least 18 years old and able to form a binding contract. If you accept these Terms for an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization.
- You must provide accurate registration information and keep it current.
- Account owners and administrators control membership, roles, API keys, OAuth grants, and billing settings (where enabled).
- You are responsible for all activity under your account, including actions by Users and use of API keys and MCP connections.
- You must protect credentials and notify us immediately at security@heftiq.com if you suspect unauthorized access.
- We may refuse registration, suspend access, or terminate accounts for security, legal, or policy reasons.
4. Customer Content
You retain all rights in Customer Content. You grant HeftIQ a worldwide, non-exclusive license to host, copy, process, transmit, display, and create derivative technical representations of Customer Content as reasonably necessary to provide, maintain, secure, and improve the Service for you—including normalizing industry terms, matching signals to confirmed exposures, running discovery, and generating intelligence outputs.
You represent and warrant that (a) you have all rights necessary to submit Customer Content; (b) Customer Content does not violate law or third-party rights; and (c) you will not submit sensitive personal data (such as health data, government identifiers, or payment card numbers) except as permitted by an applicable data processing agreement.
We may remove or disable Customer Content that we reasonably believe violates these Terms or law.
5. Intelligence outputs and third-party data
Outputs may include machine-generated summaries, rankings, and explanations based on provider data and your confirmed profile. Artificial intelligence and automated systems can produce inaccurate or incomplete results. We provide evidence and source attribution where available so you can verify material claims.
External signals are sourced from third parties subject to their own terms, licenses, and attribution requirements. We do not warrant that any signal is complete, current, or suitable for any particular operational, regulatory, customs, safety, insurance, trading, or financial decision.
Company discovery may retrieve publicly available information about a company you identify. Proposed fields are hypotheses until a User confirms them. Confirmed profile data is not silently overwritten by later automated research except as you direct or as described in the product.
6. API and MCP access
API keys and MCP OAuth grants must be used only as documented. Connecting an MCP host authorizes that host to request intelligence for the bound Atlas account subject to our consent screen and the host’s own terms. Revoke connections when access should end.
You may not exceed technical limits, circumvent access controls, scrape the Service, probe other customers’ data, reverse engineer non-public components except as permitted by law, or use the Service to build or train a competing external-context data product from our outputs or provider integrations.
7. Acceptable use
You will not, and will not permit others to:
- Use the Service in violation of applicable law, export controls, sanctions, or third-party rights.
- Interfere with or disrupt the Service, networks, or security measures.
- Introduce malware or harmful code.
- Misrepresent outputs as professional legal, customs, safety, medical, or investment advice.
- Use the Service to target children under 16 or collect their personal data.
- Resell, sublicense, or provide access to the Service to third parties except as expressly permitted in an Order Form.
8. Fees, trials, and payment
Fees, included usage, billing period, and renewal terms are stated at checkout, in the console, or in an Order Form. Except as stated therein, subscriptions renew automatically until canceled. You authorize us and our payment processor (currently Stripe) to charge applicable fees and taxes to your payment method.
Trials, when offered, begin according to the stated trigger (for example, first account activation) and are not restarted by repeated onboarding or invitation acceptance. Canceling at period end maintains access through the current paid period unless an Order Form provides otherwise.
Fees are exclusive of taxes. You are responsible for applicable sales, use, VAT, or similar taxes except taxes based on our net income. Late payments may result in suspension after notice. We do not store full payment card numbers on Atlas systems.
California residents: you may cancel automatic renewal as described at checkout and in account billing settings. We will provide renewal and cancellation information as required by applicable auto-renewal laws.
9. Confidentiality
Each party may receive non-public information from the other. The receiving party will use Confidential Information only to perform under these Terms and protect it with reasonable care. Confidential Information does not include information that is public, independently developed without use of the other party’s information, or rightfully received from a third party without restriction. Disclosure may be made when required by law, after notice where legally permitted.
10. Privacy and data processing
Our Privacy Policy at /privacy describes how we collect and use personal data. Where we process personal data on behalf of a Customer (for example, User names and emails invited by that Customer), we act as a processor and process such data only on the Customer’s instructions to provide the Service. Enterprise Customers may request a data processing addendum where required by law.
11. Intellectual property
The Service, including software, documentation, workflows, trademarks (including Atlas One and HeftIQ), and our proprietary methods, is owned by Heft IQ Inc. and its licensors. Except for the limited rights expressly granted, no rights are transferred. You receive a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the Service during your subscription or authorized beta access for internal business purposes.
12. Feedback
If you provide suggestions or feedback, we may use it without restriction or compensation to you.
13. Third-party services
The Service integrates with third-party providers (including authentication, hosting, payments, research, language models, and signal data providers) and may link to third-party sites. Those services are governed by their own terms and privacy policies. We are not responsible for third-party services or content.
14. Disclaimer of warranties
THE SERVICE AND ALL OUTPUTS ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, HEFTIQ AND ITS SUPPLIERS DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, SECURE, OR THAT OUTPUTS WILL BE ACCURATE OR COMPLETE.
15. Limitation of liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, HEFTIQ AND ITS SUPPLIERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, GOODWILL, DATA, OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, HEFTIQ’S TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNTS PAID BY YOU TO HEFTIQ FOR THE SERVICE IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO LIABILITY, OR (B) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS (US $100). THE FOREGOING LIMITATIONS APPLY EXCEPT WHERE PROHIBITED BY LAW.
16. Indemnification
You will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless HeftIQ and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from claims, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising from Customer Content, your use of the Service or outputs, your combination of the Service with non-HeftIQ products, or your violation of these Terms or applicable law, except to the extent caused by HeftIQ’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.
17. Term, suspension, and termination
These Terms begin when you first accept them or use the Service and continue until terminated. You may stop using the Service at any time. We may suspend or terminate access immediately for material breach, non-payment, security risk, or legal requirement.
Upon termination, your license ends and fees owed become due. We may delete Customer Content after a commercially reasonable period, except where retention is required by law or legitimate business needs (security, billing, dispute resolution). Trial expiration alone does not delete a confirmed Business Profile unless you request deletion or we state otherwise in the product.
Sections that by their nature should survive termination will survive, including payment obligations, confidentiality, intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification, and governing law.
18. Export and sanctions
You may not use or export the Service except as authorized by U.S. law and the laws of the jurisdiction in which you use the Service. You represent that you are not located in, under control of, or a national or resident of any country or person subject to U.S. government embargo or sanctions, and are not on any U.S. government denied-party list.
19. Governing law and disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Kansas, United States, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. The state and federal courts located in Johnson County, Kansas, have exclusive jurisdiction over disputes arising from these Terms or the Service, and you consent to personal jurisdiction there.
Each party waives any right to participate in a class, collective, or representative action against the other. If a dispute arises, the parties will attempt in good faith to resolve it before filing suit.
Nothing in this section prevents either party from seeking injunctive relief for misuse of intellectual property or unauthorized access.
