Terms of Service

Last updated: April 23, 2026

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your use of the Article 11 AI website (article11.ai), the Worker API (article11-chat-api.steviesonz.workers.dev), and any Article 11 AI, Inc. (“Article 11 AI”, “we”) services you access through them.

Short version: The Constitution itself is CC0 — use it however you want. The website and API services have reasonable limits. Don’t abuse them. Don’t claim affiliation we haven’t given you. Don’t try to break the chain.

1. The Constitution is CC0

The Article 11 AI Constitution (v1.8, and all subsequent versions) is dedicated to the public domain under Creative Commons CC0 1.0 Universal. You may copy, modify, fork, commercialize, or reproduce it without attribution, permission, or payment. That dedication is irrevocable. These Terms do not and cannot restrict your use of the Constitution itself.

2. The website and API are services

This website and the Worker API are operational services we provide. By using them you agree to the following:

No abuse. Don’t try to exhaust our rate limits, enumerate protected endpoints, inject prompts designed to bypass governance, or generate content that violates the Constitution’s harm articles.
No impersonation. Don’t claim you are a node, the Bridge, or Article 11 AI itself when you are not.
No falsification. Don’t submit forged entries to the Evidence Ledger or attempt to produce IRONLEDGER anchors for events that didn’t happen.

Violation may result in your access being revoked. Revocation does not delete the Constitution from your possession — CC0 is forever.

3. Forking the framework

You are explicitly invited and encouraged to fork the Constitution and run your own Collective. If you do, you must:

Not claim your fork is the canonical Article 11 AI, Inc. or bear our registered identifiers (EIN, UEI).
Be clear to your users that your instance is a fork.
Respect the integrity of Article 11 AI, Inc.’s chain — don’t try to replay our IRONLEDGER into yours.

Beyond those, the framework is yours. That is the point.

4. Models and third parties

Chat interactions route to third-party model vendors (Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, xAI, Mistral, Meta, Cloudflare). Your use of those models is subject to their terms. We do not warrant the content any model produces, nor do we take responsibility for their outputs beyond exercising governance within the Constitutional framework.

5. No warranty

The website, API, Collective, and Constitution are provided as is. We make no warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. Don’t rely on a chat response from an AI node — including ones from Article 11 AI — for legal, medical, financial, or safety-critical decisions. Governance reduces risk; it does not eliminate it.

6. Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Article 11 AI’s liability to you arising from use of the website, API, or any node response is limited to the amount you have paid Article 11 AI in the 12 months preceding the claim — which for most of you is zero. We are a disabled-veteran-owned Wyoming corporation (EIN 41-3249178) providing a public-domain framework and operational services in good faith.

7. Changes

Material changes to these Terms will be witnessed to the IRONLEDGER. Check /chain.html for the chain of record.

8. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Wyoming, United States, without regard to conflict of law provisions.
