A juridical governance standard for organizations — not a court of law.
TERMS OF USE
Effective Date: September 9, 2025
Entity / Address:
Map Key Partners, Inc. (“Map Key,” “we,” “us,” “our”), a Delaware corporation, doing business in Ohio at 6077 Far Hills Avenue #215, Dayton, OH 45459.
IMPORTANT:
These Terms include a binding arbitration agreement and class action waiver (see Section 16 and Appendix C). If you are an individual, you may opt out within 30 days of first agreeing to these Terms.
1. Acceptance of Terms
By accessing any Map Key website, portal, publication, download, or online feature that links to these Terms (collectively, the “Site”), you accept these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you use the Site on behalf of an organization, you represent that you are authorized to bind that organization. If you have a signed agreement with Map Key covering the same subject matter, that agreement controls to the extent of conflict.
2. Eligibility
You must be capable of forming a binding contract under applicable law. The Site is not directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age in your country).
3. Changes to Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. The “Effective Date” shows when they last changed. Continued use after changes means you accept the updated Terms.
4. The Site; No Professional Advice
The Site provides information about Map Key’s frameworks, publications, specifications, and services. Content is for general information only and does not constitute legal, financial, medical, or other professional advice.
5. Your Use of the Site
You may browse and use the Site only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms. You agree not to: (a) copy, scrape, harvest, mirror, or frame the Site or its content; (b) reverse engineer, decompile, derive source, or attempt to bypass technical measures; (c) access the Site to build a competing product or mimic Map Key’s proprietary frameworks, terminology, or execution models; or (d) interfere with security or integrity.
Prohibition on Mimicry & Derivatives. Unauthorized mimicry, derivative use, or simulation of Map Key’s proprietary frameworks—including but not limited to Collapse‑as‑a‑Service™ and its operators—is prohibited and constitutes infringement. This prohibition tracks Map Key’s published specification, which expressly bars “unauthorized mimicry, derivative use, or simulation” and requires sealed service boundaries for lawful deployment.
6. Accounts; Feedback
If any portion of the Site requires an account, you must keep credentials confidential and promptly notify us of any breach. If you send ideas or feedback, you grant Map Key a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty‑free license to use them without restriction.
7. Intellectual Property
7.1 Map Key Content
All content, text, graphics, logos, icons, images, audio‑visual materials, publications, specifications, and data on the Site are owned or licensed by Map Key and protected by U.S. and international laws. No rights are granted except as expressly stated. You may not use Map Key content except as allowed under Section 8 (Limited License) or a separate written license.
7.2 Proprietary Frameworks, Terminology, and Marks
Map Key owns and enforces a distinctive proprietary perimeter that includes (non‑exhaustively) the frameworks, definitions, and marks listed in Appendix A (the “Map Key Marks”). Those include Collapse‑as‑a‑Service™ (CaaS) and its sealed operators—Structural Audit™, Compression Scan™, Delete the Loop™, Install the Law™, Collapse Operator Specification (C‑OPS)™, and Enforce the End™—together with Backend Law™, Structural Law™, and related enforceable terminology and execution models. These instruments are explicitly identified and defined in Map Key’s published specifications and records.
Chain of Custody. Map Key’s publications timestamp this perimeter (e.g., CaaS‑SPEC; Collapse Operator Specification; Structural Law; and the Glossary and Chain‑of‑Custody sections enumerating proprietary terms and related DOIs). See the specification’s appendices and the “Chain of Custody” and “Glossary of Proprietary Terms” in the record cited in Appendix A.
Unless you have a written license from Map Key, you may not use the Map Key Marks; make derivative, simulated, or “inspired by” versions; or incorporate the terminology, execution models, or governance operators into any framework, product, or service.
7.3 Third‑Party Marks
Third‑party names and marks mentioned on the Site are the property of their respective owners and are used for identification only. No endorsement is implied.
8. Limited License; Publications and Software
Subject to these Terms and any notices that accompany a specific file or download:
Publications. You may view Map Key publications on the Site for personal, non‑commercial reference. No reproduction, redistribution, public posting, or derivative use without prior written permission. The Site may cite specific DOIs for archival purposes, but citation is not a license to reuse content. (See the publication notices referenced in Appendix A.)
Software / Tools. Any software, code samples, or tools made available are licensed (not sold) under the license terms that accompany them. If no license accompanies a download, you receive a personal, non‑transferable license to use it solely to interact with the Site, and Map Key retains all rights.
9. User Content; Prohibited Content
If you post or submit content through the Site (forums, forms, uploads), you represent you have necessary rights and that your content is lawful, non‑infringing, and accurate. You grant Map Key a worldwide, royalty‑free license to host, display, and use such content solely to operate the Site. We may remove content that violates these Terms.
10. DMCA Policy
We respect intellectual property rights and respond to notices under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). See Appendix B for notice and counter‑notice procedures. Designated Agent:

11. Open‑Source & Third‑Party Components
Some Site components may include third‑party or open‑source software. Their licenses govern any use of those components. Nothing in these Terms limits your rights under those licenses.
12. Compliance; Export; Sanctions
You must comply with all applicable laws, including U.S. export and sanctions laws. You may not access or use the Site in violation of such laws.
13. Government End Users
For U.S. Government users, Map Key’s software and documentation are “Commercial Items.” Use is subject to these Terms as required by FAR 12.211/12.212 and DFARS 227.7202 or successor regulations.
14. Disclaimers
THE SITE AND ALL CONTENT ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, MAP KEY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON‑INFRINGEMENT.
15. Limitation of Liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, MAP KEY WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES; LOST PROFITS; OR LOSS OF DATA. OUR AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATING TO THE SITE WILL NOT EXCEED US$100 OR THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US (IF ANY) FOR ACCESS TO THE SITE IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM.
Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations; in those cases, the limitations apply to the fullest extent permitted.
16. Dispute Resolution; Binding Arbitration; Class Waiver
PLEASE READ THIS CAREFULLY. Except for claims eligible for small claims court or for injunctive relief for intellectual property misuse, any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Site will be resolved by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA):
Individuals (consumers): AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules.
Entities: AAA Commercial Arbitration Rules.
Seat & law: Wilmington, Delaware; Delaware law (without regard to conflicts rules).
Format: One arbitrator; English; video hearing by default unless parties agree otherwise.
Class waiver: No class, collective, or representative actions.
Opt‑out: Individuals may opt out within 30 days of first acceptance by emailing legal@mapkey.com with subject “Arbitration Opt‑Out,” your full name, and the email address tied to your use.
Courts for injunctive relief: State or federal courts in New Castle County, Delaware (exclusive jurisdiction and venue). Small claims carve‑out: Either party may pursue eligible claims in small claims court in Montgomery County, Ohio or in your U.S. county of residence.
Further details appear in Appendix C.
17. Termination
We may suspend or terminate your access for any violation of these Terms. Sections that by their nature should survive termination do survive (including Sections 7–17 and the Appendices).
18. International Users; Mandatory Rights
If you are outside the U.S., you are responsible for compliance with your local laws. Nothing in these Terms limits non‑waivable consumer rights under the law of your habitual residence.
19. Miscellaneous
These Terms (including the Appendices and any policies they link) are the entire agreement between you and Map Key regarding the Site. They do not create third‑party beneficiary rights. You may not assign them without our consent; we may assign them as part of a merger, acquisition, financing, or asset sale. If a provision is unenforceable, it will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable; the remainder stays in effect. No waiver is implied by any delay or failure to enforce.
