Template — not yet legal advice

This document was drafted as a starting point and has not been reviewed by a qualified lawyer. Disclaimers, liability caps and dispute-resolution clauses are exactly the provisions most often struck down when they are copied rather than drafted for a specific jurisdiction and business. It must be reviewed by counsel admitted in the relevant jurisdiction, and every placeholder below must be replaced with a real value, before it is relied upon.

Terms and Conditions

Last updated: 2 August 2026
Effective date: [[ EFFECTIVE DATE ]]
Applies to: skandarobotics.com and its subpages
Status: Draft — pending legal review

1. Summary

This is a pre-launch information site. You may read it, quote it fairly, and link to it. You may not copy it wholesale, scrape it at volume, misrepresent yourself as us, or attack it. Nothing on it is an offer, a warranty or professional advice, and no product is being sold through it.

This summary is a convenience and has no legal effect. The sections below govern.

2. Acceptance of these terms

These Terms and Conditions are a binding agreement between you and [[ LEGAL ENTITY NAME ]]. By accessing or using the Site you confirm that you have read, understood and agree to be bound by them, and by the Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference.

If you do not agree, do not use the Site. That is the only remedy required of you, and closing the page is sufficient.

If you are entering into these Terms on behalf of an organisation, you represent that you have authority to bind that organisation, and "you" refers to both you and it.

3. Definitions

"Site": The website published at skandarobotics.com, including every page, subdomain, file and asset served from it.
"Content": All material made available through the Site: text, layout, design, code, graphics, 3D models, animations, images, logos, names and the arrangement of any of them.
"we", "us", "our": [[ LEGAL ENTITY NAME ]], trading as Skanda Robotics, of [[ REGISTERED ADDRESS ]], company number [[ COMPANY REGISTRATION NUMBER ]].
"you", "your": Any person or organisation accessing the Site, whether or not any account or contractual relationship exists.
"Terms": This document, as amended from time to time under section 12.

4. Eligibility

The Site is a corporate information page intended for a general professional audience. It is not directed at children and contains nothing suitable only for adults.

To agree to these Terms you must have the legal capacity to enter into a binding contract in your jurisdiction. If you are under the age of majority where you live, you may read the Site but you may not accept these Terms except through a parent or legal guardian who accepts them on your behalf.

You may not use the Site if you are a person or entity subject to sanctions that would make doing so unlawful, or if you are barred from receiving services under the law applicable to you or to us.

5. The service

The Site is, at present, a single informational pre-launch page announcing that Skanda Robotics exists and is in development. It offers no product, no account, no subscription, no download, no form and no transaction.

Accordingly, and for the avoidance of doubt:

Nothing on the Site is an offer capable of acceptance, an invitation to treat, a quotation, or a commitment to supply any product or service.
Statements about our plans, capabilities, timelines or future products are forward-looking, reflect our intentions at the time of writing only, and may change without notice. They are not promises and must not be relied upon.
Nothing on the Site is engineering, safety, legal, financial, regulatory or professional advice, and it must not be treated as a substitute for advice from a qualified professional. Robotics involves machinery capable of causing serious injury; nothing here should be used to inform the design, installation, commissioning or operation of any real system.
The Site is provided free of charge. We may add, change, suspend, restrict or withdraw any part of it, or all of it, at any time and without notice or liability. See section 12.

We do not undertake that the Site will be available uninterrupted or error-free. Access may be suspended for maintenance, for a fault at our hosting provider, or for reasons outside our control.

6. Intellectual property

6.1 Our Content

All Content on the Site is owned by us or licensed to us, and is protected by copyright, database rights, trade mark law and other intellectual property laws. This includes the original 3D geometry, the animation timeline, the layout, the typography, the source code and the written copy.

The name "Skanda Robotics", our logo and our wordmark are our trade marks, whether or not registered. Nothing in these Terms grants you any licence to use them.

We grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to access the Site and to display it in a standard web browser for your own information. Subject to section 7.2 and to any right you have under applicable law that cannot be excluded — such as fair use, fair dealing, quotation, or news reporting — you may not:

copy, reproduce, republish, mirror, frame or redistribute any substantial part of the Content;
create derivative works from the Content, or extract and re-use a substantial part of any database within it;
use the Content for a commercial purpose, including as training data for a machine learning model that is offered commercially, without our prior written permission;
remove, obscure or alter any copyright, trade mark or other proprietary notice.

Ordinary linking to the Site is welcome, provided the link does not imply an endorsement, approval or relationship that does not exist, and does not present the Site in a false or damaging light. We may ask you to remove a link and you agree to comply promptly.

6.2 Third-party licences

The Site incorporates the three.js library, which is not ours. three.js is copyright its authors and is made available under the MIT Licence. We vendor it and serve it from our own origin rather than from a content delivery network.

The full licence text is retained and published on this site at vendor/three-LICENSE.txt, which satisfies the attribution requirement of the MIT Licence. That licence governs your rights in the library itself, and nothing in these Terms restricts any right you have under it. Your rights in three.js are rights in three.js — they do not extend to our own Content, which merely uses it.

If we later incorporate further third-party components, their licences will be retained alongside the code in the same way.

6.3 Feedback

If you send us suggestions, ideas or feedback about the Site or our work, you grant us a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free licence to use it for any purpose without obligation, attribution or compensation. Please do not send us anything you consider confidential or wish to keep control of; if you need to, agree confidentiality with us in writing first.

7. Acceptable use

You must use the Site lawfully, and only in ways that do not restrict or inhibit anyone else's use of it.

7.1 Prohibited conduct

You must not:

use the Site for any unlawful, fraudulent or deceptive purpose, or in breach of any applicable law, regulation or sanctions regime;
attempt to gain unauthorised access to the Site, its server, its hosting account, its domain registrar account, or any system or network connected to it — including by probing, scanning, credential stuffing, or exploiting a vulnerability;
circumvent, disable or interfere with any security feature, including the Content Security Policy, transport security or access controls;
introduce or attempt to introduce any virus, worm, logic bomb, trojan or other malicious or technologically harmful material;
launch or participate in a denial-of-service or distributed denial-of-service attack, or otherwise deliberately overload the Site;
impersonate us, misrepresent your affiliation with us, or register a domain, account or handle intended to be confused with ours;
use the Site to distribute unsolicited commercial communications, or to harvest addresses for that purpose;
reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble any part of the Site except to the extent that applicable law expressly permits it notwithstanding this restriction.

We may report any breach of this section to law enforcement and will cooperate with them, including by disclosing identity information where lawfully required. Serious breaches, particularly attempts to compromise the Site, may be a criminal offence under computer misuse legislation in your jurisdiction and in ours.

7.2 Automated access, scraping and AI training

You must not use any robot, spider, scraper, crawler, headless browser or other automated means to access, monitor, index or copy the Site, except:

a conventional search engine crawler operating within the directives in our robots.txt file and at a reasonable request rate; or
an accessibility, archival or security tool operating on behalf of a person actually reading the Site; or
with our prior written consent.

Regardless of what robots.txt permits, you must not: bulk-download the Site or any substantial part of it; make requests at a rate that degrades service for others; bypass any rate limit or access control; or aggregate the Content into a competing or derivative dataset or product.

For the avoidance of doubt, we do not consent to the Content being used to train, fine-tune or ground a machine learning or generative artificial intelligence system offered on a commercial basis. Any general permission in robots.txt is a courtesy to search indexing and is not consent for that purpose.

8. No warranty

The Site and all Content are provided "as is" and "as available", without warranty of any kind.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, we disclaim all warranties, conditions, representations and terms, whether express, implied or statutory, including any implied warranty of merchantability, satisfactory quality, fitness for a particular purpose, title, quiet enjoyment, accuracy, or non-infringement.

In particular, we do not warrant that:

the Site will be available, uninterrupted, timely or secure;
defects will be corrected, or corrected within any period;
the Site or the servers that deliver it are free of viruses or other harmful components;
the Content is accurate, complete, current or reliable, or that any forward-looking statement will come to pass.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties, and consumers have statutory rights that cannot be excluded or limited by contract. Nothing in this section affects those rights. Where an exclusion is not permitted, it applies only to the extent that it is.

9. Limitation of liability

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits our liability for: death or personal injury caused by our negligence; fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; or any other liability which cannot lawfully be excluded or limited under the law that governs these Terms. These carve-outs prevail over everything else in this section.

Subject to that, and to the fullest extent permitted by law:

We will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary or punitive loss, or for any loss of profit, revenue, business, goodwill, anticipated saving, opportunity, data or data use, however arising, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), breach of statutory duty or otherwise, and whether or not we were advised such loss was possible.
We will not be liable for any loss arising from your reliance on any Content, from the unavailability of the Site, or from any virus or harmful material you may encounter — you are responsible for maintaining your own security measures.
Our total aggregate liability arising out of or in connection with the Site and these Terms, for all claims combined, is limited to [[ LIABILITY CAP ]]. Because the Site is provided free of charge and no payment passes between us, a court may find any figure above nominal to be unsupported by consideration; the cap must be set with that in mind.

You acknowledge that these limitations are a reasonable allocation of risk between us given that the Site is made available at no cost, and that we would not make it available on these terms without them.

10. Indemnification

To the extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify us, and our officers, employees and agents, and hold us harmless against any claim, demand, loss, liability, damage, cost or expense (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or connected with:

your breach of these Terms, and in particular of section 7;
your infringement of our intellectual property rights or those of any third party;
your violation of any applicable law in connection with your use of the Site.

We will notify you promptly of any claim to which this section applies, and will not settle it without your consent, which you must not unreasonably withhold. You may assume the defence with counsel reasonably acceptable to us; we may participate at our own expense.

This section does not apply to a person acting as a consumer where consumer protection law prohibits it.

11. Third-party links

The Site may reference or link to material published by other organisations. Those references are provided for information only.

We do not control, endorse, monitor or take responsibility for third-party sites or their content, products, services, availability, security or privacy practices. Following such a link is at your own risk, and once you leave the Site these Terms and our Privacy Policy no longer apply — read the terms and privacy policy of wherever you land.

A link is not a representation that we have vetted the destination or that any relationship exists between us and its operator.

12. Changes

12.1 Changes to the Site

The Site is under active development and will change. We may modify, suspend, restrict or discontinue any part of it, permanently or temporarily, at any time and without notice or liability to you. We are under no obligation to keep any Content available or up to date.

12.2 Changes to these Terms

We may revise these Terms at any time. The revised version takes effect when it is published on this page, and the "last updated" date at the top will change. Where a change is material we will make that clear rather than relying on the date alone.

Your continued use of the Site after a revision is published constitutes acceptance of it. If you do not accept a revision, stop using the Site. We do not maintain a mailing list and therefore cannot notify you individually; please check this page if the point matters to you. Previous versions are available on request.

13. Termination

These Terms apply while you use the Site. You may end them at any time by ceasing to use it.

We may, without notice and at our sole discretion, block your access to the Site — by IP address, network range, user agent or any other technical means — if we reasonably believe you have breached these Terms, and in particular section 7. We may take that step to protect the Site without first notifying you, and doing so does not waive any other right or remedy.

Termination does not affect any right or liability that accrued before it. The following survive termination for as long as their subject matter requires: section 6 (intellectual property), section 8 (no warranty), section 9 (limitation of liability), section 10 (indemnification), section 14 (governing law), section 15 (dispute resolution) and this sentence.

14. Governing law and jurisdiction

These Terms, and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with them or their subject matter or formation — including non-contractual disputes and claims — are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of [[ GOVERNING JURISDICTION ]], without regard to its conflict of laws principles.

The courts of [[ COURTS AND VENUE ]] have jurisdiction to settle any such dispute or claim, subject to section 15.

If you are a consumer, nothing in this section deprives you of the protection of the mandatory provisions of the law of your country of habitual residence, or of any right to bring proceedings in the courts of that country where the law gives you one.

We make no representation that the Content is appropriate or available for use in any particular location. If you access the Site from elsewhere, you do so on your own initiative and are responsible for compliance with local law.

15. Dispute resolution

If a dispute arises, we would like to resolve it quickly and without cost to either of us. Before commencing formal proceedings, please contact us at [[ GENERAL CONTACT EMAIL ]] with a written description of the dispute and the outcome you seek. We will make a good-faith effort to resolve it informally within 30 days of receipt. Either of us may escalate after that period.

The binding mechanism for unresolved disputes is [[ DISPUTE RESOLUTION MECHANISM ]]. If arbitration is chosen, this clause must specify the arbitral institution and rules, the seat, the number of arbitrators and the language; if litigation is chosen, it must be consistent with section 14. Any class-action waiver, jury-trial waiver or limitation period shortening must be drafted to the standard of the governing jurisdiction, because several jurisdictions will not enforce them against consumers — this is a point for counsel, not a form to be filled in.

Nothing in this section prevents either of us from seeking urgent injunctive or equitable relief from a competent court to protect intellectual property or to stop an ongoing security breach.

16. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid, unlawful or unenforceable by a court or other competent authority, that provision is to be read down to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable while preserving its commercial intent. If it cannot be read down, it is severed and deemed deleted.

The deletion or modification of a provision does not affect the validity and enforceability of the rest of these Terms, which continue in full force.

17. Entire agreement

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, are the entire agreement between you and us relating to your use of the Site, and supersede all prior agreements, understandings, representations and communications on that subject, whether written or oral.

You acknowledge that in agreeing to these Terms you do not rely on any statement, representation, assurance or warranty that is not expressly set out in them. Nothing in this section limits liability for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation.

These Terms do not govern any separate written contract we may enter into with you for the supply of products or services; if there is a conflict between these Terms and such a contract, that contract prevails for its subject matter.

18. Miscellaneous

No waiver: A failure or delay by us in exercising any right or remedy is not a waiver of it. A single or partial exercise does not prevent any further exercise. A waiver is effective only if given in writing.
Assignment: You may not assign, transfer, charge or subcontract any of your rights or obligations under these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign or transfer ours, including in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganisation or sale of assets, provided your rights are not materially prejudiced.
No partnership or agency: Nothing in these Terms creates a partnership, joint venture, agency or employment relationship between us.
Third parties: A person who is not a party to these Terms has no right to enforce any of their provisions, except that our officers, employees and agents may enforce section 10.
Force majeure: We are not liable for any failure or delay in performance caused by an event beyond our reasonable control, including infrastructure or hosting failure, network outage, cyber-attack, act of government, natural disaster, epidemic, war or civil unrest.
Notices: Notices to us must be sent to [[ GENERAL CONTACT EMAIL ]] or to our registered address. Because we hold no contact details for you, we give notice by publishing on this Site.
Language and headings: These Terms are drafted in English; any translation is provided for convenience and the English text prevails. Headings and section numbers are for navigation and do not affect interpretation.
