Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of Terms

By using FactLockCam, you agree to these Terms of Service. FactLockCam provides tamper-evident digital archive services for media certification, encryption, and workflow support.

2. Digital Archive Certification

FactLockCam supports authenticity heuristics through three technical pillars:

• Integrity: Cryptographic proof that a file is unaltered (SHA-256).
• Ownership: Association with your authenticated identity and device signing where enabled.
• Timestamping: An immutable anchor on the Polygon blockchain when notarization is active.

This produces a certificate draft that documents the state of a digital asset at a specific point in time. It supports disclosure workflows but does not guarantee admissibility under FRE 902.

3. Permanent Ledger Records

You acknowledge that the Polygon blockchain is a permanent record. Once a cryptographic hash is anchored, it cannot be modified or deleted. FactLockCam has no authority or ability to alter blockchain records.

4. User Responsibility (The Verification Bridge)

A successful verification requires two components under your exclusive control:

• The Artifact: The original, unaltered file.
• The Identity: The credentials used to sign the asset.

If either is lost or modified, the cryptographic link for verification cannot be restored.

5. Non-Custodial Access Protocol

CRITICAL: FactLockCam utilizes non-custodial security. We do not store your keys or password hashes. We cannot reset your password, restore encrypted files, or recover cryptographic keys. Users are solely responsible for securing their device access and backing up their encrypted data.

6. Integrity Maintenance

If the original file is modified or access to the certifying identity is lost, the link to the blockchain record is broken. FactLockCam cannot restore this connection.

7. Professional Asset Backup

To support long-term verification, we recommend backing up the encrypted version of your assets. Modifications to file metadata by third-party operating systems can alter a file's hash; maintaining the encrypted archive copy preserves cryptographic integrity.

8. Secure Delivery Expiration

The FactLockCam delivery system allows for secure, time-limited file access. Assets may have an expiration policy or limited access attempts. FactLockCam is not liable for assets that become inaccessible after expiration. Users are responsible for managing access permissions for their recipients.

9. Limitation of Liability

A certificate draft is a mathematical record of a digital state. It is not a guarantee of physical truth, accuracy of content, or legal standing. FactLockCam documents that a file existed in an exact state at an exact time; it does not verify the underlying claims within the file.

10. Service Availability

Services are provided "as is". FactLockCam is not liable for blockchain network congestion, device-level hardware failure, or third-party service interruptions that may affect the transmission or verification of assets.
