Terms of Service

Effective date: November 5, 2026.

1. Application and website

Digital Æther provides information about AI training, media and workflow services. Forge by Digital Æther is a locally operated software application for preparing, creating, reviewing and managing media and owner-approved publication through connected services. This public website is informational; it is not the private Forge application or a public Forge account portal.

2. Authorized use and account responsibilities

Use Forge and connected services only with accounts, channels and content you have permission to access. You are responsible for securing account credentials and ensuring the legality, rights, accuracy and suitability of media and descriptions you choose to create or publish. Do not use Forge to violate others' rights or applicable platform rules.

3. Connected services

Forge supports native YouTube connection and owner-approved private uploads. Facebook Pages connection is being prepared for live acceptance; native Facebook publication is not yet enabled. Instagram and TikTok integrations are planned. Future availability depends on engineering readiness, authorized access, platform policies and app approval.

YouTube, Facebook, Instagram and TikTok are independent third-party services with separate terms, privacy practices, permissions and service availability. Their operators may refuse, delay, remove, restrict or otherwise process content independently of Forge.

4. Human editorial and publication control

Forge may assist with drafting, generation, review, scheduling preparation or other workflows. The authorized operator is responsible for content review, selection of the precise destination, approval of publication metadata and any publishing actions. A prepared or accepted request does not guarantee successful, public or timely publication.

5. Analytics and automated features

Receipt-linked analytics, broader agent operations and additional platform integrations are development goals. No result, performance metric, return or automation capability is guaranteed. Recommendations or generated content should be checked before reliance or publication.

6. Information and service limitations

Website content is general information, not legal, medical, financial or other regulated professional advice. To the extent permitted by law, the website and application are provided without guarantees of uninterrupted operation, platform uptime, error-free results or particular commercial outcomes. Nothing here limits nonwaivable legal rights.

7. Intellectual property

Digital Æther branding and original site materials are owned by their respective rights holders. Each user or operator must have the necessary rights and permissions for materials they provide or publish; using Forge does not grant rights to external media, music, designs, trademarks or third-party APIs.

8. Privacy, access and deletion

Our Privacy Policy explains data handling, local publishing records and connected-platform authorization. Consult Data Deletion Instructions to request deletion of information held by Digital Æther. Removing an integration from a social platform does not automatically remove content already hosted there.

9. Changes and contact

Digital Æther may update these terms or the application's functionality. The current terms will be posted here with an updated effective date. Questions can be directed to curt@digitalaether.org.
