Ownership Brochure & Service Terms

1. What you're buying

You bring a file (image, audio, video, document). The Octopus Suit Suite crew processes it, writes Metaplex-compatible metadata, prepares an ownership brochure and receipt PDF, optionally generates a Solana keypair, and returns a downloadable bundle. For $5, one file.

That bundle is yours. You may mint it on-chain, keep it offline, gift it, sell it, or display it however you like.

2. What you own (and what you don't)

You own:

Any token you mint in your name from your bundle.
The file you uploaded (we never claim ownership of your art).
A non-exclusive, perpetual, royalty-free license to use the bundle we hand you (metadata.json, brochure PDF, receipt) for the minted work.

You may not:

Copy, redistribute, or reverse-engineer Octopus Suit Suite's marks, the brochure/receipt/locker copy, the suit charters, the refusal-rule set, model-chain configs, or crew memory corpus.
Use the Octopus Suit Suite name, crew names, mascot art, or reef art in your own product or service without written permission.
Operate a competing mint-as-a-service that copies our service wrap (the brochure language, receipt format, suit personas, refusal rules).

3. Proprietary Service Notice

// the part worth reading carefully

The Octopus Suit Suite is built on open-source primitives — Solana, Metaplex Token Metadata, the Candy Machine / Sugar CLI, Pinata IPFS pinning, FastAPI, and Tailwind. The underlying machinery is open source and we do not, and cannot, claim ownership of it.

What IS proprietary to Octopus Suit Suite, and protected by copyright, trademark, and trade-secret law:

Our octopus mascot and the suit-portrait illustrations.
Our reef-habitat illustrations and the rotating habitat curation.
The ownership brochure PDF template and the receipt PDF template.
The landing-page copy, the services explainer, the disclosures.
The suit charters (Captain, Sparks, Quill, Nautilus, Pixel, Beat, Pearl, Coral) and their voices, hand-off rules, and constraints.
The refusal-of-service rule set and abuse classifier.
The 30-day locker policy and recovery flow language.
The model-chain fallback configurations and crew memory corpus.

Translation: someone can run their own Sugar Candy Machine. They cannot run our service.

4. The 30-day locker

We hold a copy of your bundle in the ship's locker for 30 days after we hand it to you, so if you lose the download or send it to the wrong email, the crew can fetch it for you. After 30 days the bundle is permanently purged. You always have the original on whatever device you downloaded to.

5. Refusal of service

We reserve the right to refuse service. Specifically: content that sexualizes minors, content that targets a person for harassment, content that promotes weapons or violence, content that infringes a third party's copyright, and content that uses someone else's face without their consent. Quill (our compliance scribe) audits every upload and every chat. Hard violations are blocked and logged. Repeated soft violations get a warning and then a block.

We also refuse service to individuals or entities we believe in good faith are using the platform to abuse another person, including by minting their face, voice, or identity without consent. Abuse is logged with a wallet/email/IP block scoped to the platform.

6. Disclaimers

Our mints are digital art collectibles, not investments. We make no claim about resale value, scarcity-driven appreciation, or future utility on any chain or marketplace. What you can do with the token after we hand it to you is at your discretion and subject to the law of your jurisdiction.

Our crew drafts AI-generated text (brochures, receipts, descriptions). Quill audits everything, but you remain responsible for what you publish. We do not give legal, tax, or financial advice.

Private galleries are organizational workspaces. We ask that you do not store personally identifying information or sensitive data there; Quill will warn before saving anything that looks like PII.

7. Refunds

Because the work is delivered immediately as a downloadable file, sales are final once the bundle is delivered. If the crew refuses service before delivery (e.g., Quill blocks the upload), you are refunded in full. If the pipeline fails on our end, you are refunded in full and we apologize.

8. Contact

Questions, takedown requests, or compliance issues: aj@octopussuit.example. For copyright infringement claims, please include all DMCA-style elements (identification of the work, your contact info, a good-faith statement, a perjury statement).
