r1o Terms of Service

Effective Date: June 22, 2026 Last Updated: June 22, 2026

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of r1o's software, APIs, embedding services, and related offerings (collectively, the "Services") provided by Fibonacci Consulting & Advisory Group LLC d/b/a r1o ("r1o," "we," "us," or "our"). By accessing or using the Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms.

1. Definitions

"Content" means all data, text, code, vectors, embeddings, models, prompts, algorithms, and other materials available through or generated by the Services.

"Customer Data" means data you provide to the Services as input, including text submitted for embedding, documents uploaded for processing, and configuration you provide.

"Output" means any data generated by the Services in response to Customer Data, including embedding vectors, enriched narratives, search results, and API responses.

"Proprietary Pipeline" means r1o's proprietary algorithms, enrichment techniques, embedding methods, graph traversal logic, reward functions, system prompts, fiber decomposition schema, and serpentine narrative generation processes.

"Competing Product" means any product, service, model, or system that provides functionality substantially similar to the Services, including but not limited to: embedding generation, knowledge graph enrichment, semantic search with cross-layer context, or AI-powered document analysis services.

2. Ownership

2.1 Your Data

You retain all rights in your Customer Data. We claim no ownership over your inputs.

2.2 Your Outputs

r1o grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, store, and display Outputs generated from your Customer Data for your internal purposes, subject to the restrictions in Section 4. For the avoidance of doubt, this license does not grant rights to use Outputs for the purposes prohibited in Section 4.

2.3 Our Services

r1o and its licensors retain all rights, title, and interest in and to the Services, including the Proprietary Pipeline, all underlying algorithms, models, techniques, system prompts, software, documentation, and any improvements or derivatives thereof. Nothing in these Terms grants you any right, title, or interest in the Proprietary Pipeline.

3. Acceptable Use

You agree to use the Services only for lawful purposes and in compliance with these Terms. You are responsible for all activity under your account.

4. Restrictions

You shall not, and shall not permit any third party to:

4.1 Reverse Engineering

Reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise attempt to derive the source code, algorithms, data structures, or underlying components of the Services, including the Proprietary Pipeline, system prompts, enrichment logic, graph schema, reward functions, or any models used by the Services, except to the extent such restriction is expressly prohibited by applicable law.

4.2 Prompt Extraction

Use prompt injection, jailbreaking, role-playing exploits, iterative probing, or any other technique to extract, reconstruct, approximate, or infer system prompts, internal instructions, or any component of the Proprietary Pipeline. Any such attempt constitutes unauthorized access and misappropriation of trade secrets.

4.3 Competitive Use of Outputs

Use Outputs, including embedding vectors, enriched text, or any data derived from the Services, to develop, train, fine-tune, distill, or improve any data sets, foundation models, large language models, embedding models, or other systems that compete with r1o or the Services.

4.4 Automated Extraction

Automatically or programmatically extract data or Outputs beyond the scope of your authorized API usage, including through scripts, bots, scrapers, spiders, crawlers, data mining tools, or any mechanism other than the official API with valid credentials.

4.5 Competitive Access

Access the Services for purposes of monitoring availability, performance, or functionality, or for any benchmarking or competitive analysis purposes. Direct competitors of r1o are prohibited from accessing the Services except with r1o's prior written consent.

4.6 Reconstruction

Attempt to reconstruct, replicate, or reverse-engineer the Proprietary Pipeline from Outputs, including but not limited to: analyzing embedding vector patterns to infer enrichment techniques, reconstructing graph traversal logic from search results, or deriving reward function weights from model behavior.

4.7 Credential Misuse

Share, transfer, or use another person's credentials, API keys, or license keys to access the Services, or exceed your authorized usage tier.

4.8 Circumvention

Circumvent, bypass, remove, deactivate, or impair any technological measure that controls access to the Services, including rate limits, metering, authentication, encryption, license validation, or access controls.

5. Intellectual Property Protection

5.1 Trade Secret Acknowledgment

You acknowledge that the Proprietary Pipeline, including but not limited to system prompts, enrichment algorithms, fiber decomposition schema, serpentine narrative techniques, reward functions, and graph traversal methods, constitutes valuable trade secrets of r1o protected under the Defend Trade Secrets Act (18 U.S.C. § 1836 et seq.) and applicable state trade secret laws.

5.2 Confidentiality

You shall maintain the confidentiality of any information about the Services' internal operation, architecture, or algorithms that you learn through authorized use. You shall not disclose such information to any third party.

5.3 Technological Measures

The Services employ technological measures including encryption, obfuscation, watermarking, and access controls to protect copyrighted works, including the literal expression of system prompts, enriched narrative text, software source code, and documentation. To the extent these measures effectively control access to copyrighted expression within the meaning of 17 U.S.C. § 1201(a), circumvention is prohibited under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. Independent of any DMCA claim, circumvention of these measures constitutes a breach of these Terms and may constitute misappropriation of trade secrets under the DTSA.

5.4 Forensic Monitoring

You acknowledge that the Services embed forensic markers, including but not limited to statistical fingerprints in embedding vectors and linguistic markers in enriched text, that are unique to your account. These markers enable r1o to identify the source of any unauthorized distribution or use of Outputs. Attempted removal or alteration of these markers constitutes a violation of these Terms and may constitute circumvention under 17 U.S.C. § 1201.

5.5 Audit Rights

r1o reserves the right to audit your use of the Services and Outputs for compliance with these Terms, including automated monitoring for patterns consistent with reverse engineering, competitive use, or unauthorized distribution.

6. Subscription and Metering

6.1 Usage Tiers

The Services are provided in metered tiers (Free, Pro, Team) with defined monthly credit allotments, rate limits, batch sizes, and available embedding types as described in the current pricing documentation.

6.2 Overages

Use exceeding your tier's allotment will be throttled or suspended until the next billing period, or may be billed at the applicable overage rate.

6.3 Fair Use

Excessive or abusive use patterns, including high-volume automated extraction, may result in throttling, suspension, or termination of your account.

7. Termination

7.1 By You

You may terminate your account at any time.

7.2 By r1o

We may suspend or terminate your access immediately if you violate these Terms, including any restriction in Section 4. We may also terminate for convenience with 30 days' notice.

7.3 Effect of Termination

Upon termination, your right to access the Services ceases. Sections 2.3, 4, 5, 8, 9, and 10 survive termination.

8. Remedies

8.1 Injunctive Relief

You acknowledge that any breach of Sections 4 or 5 would cause irreparable harm to r1o for which monetary damages would be inadequate. Accordingly, r1o shall be entitled to seek injunctive or other equitable relief without the requirement of posting bond.

8.2 Liquidated Damages

For violations of Section 4.3 (Competitive Use of Outputs), you agree to pay liquidated damages of $50,000 per incident. The parties agree that this amount represents a reasonable estimate of the harm caused by misappropriation of the Proprietary Pipeline, which is difficult to calculate precisely. This provision is intended as liquidated damages, not as a penalty. r1o may alternatively elect to pursue actual damages if they exceed this amount.

8.3 Legal Fees

In any action to enforce these Terms, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys' fees and costs.

9. Disclaimers

THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE." R1O DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

10. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, R1O'S TOTAL LIABILITY UNDER THESE TERMS SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID TO R1O IN THE 12 MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM. R1O SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES.

11. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any dispute arising under these Terms shall be resolved in the state or federal courts located in Miami-Dade County, Florida.

12. Changes

We may update these Terms from time to time. We will notify you of material changes via email or through the Services. Continued use after notification constitutes acceptance.
