Website Terms

Scope & Acceptance

These Website Terms (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the public website operated by Sustainable Future Tech, Inc. (“SFT,” “we,” “our,” or “us”), including public pages, articles, research descriptions, publications, downloadable materials, and other resources made available through the site.

References to SFT may include Sustainable Future Tech Publishing where the context involves publishing activities conducted as an operating division of Sustainable Future Tech, Inc.

By accessing or using this website, you acknowledge these Terms. If you do not agree with them, you should discontinue use of the website.

Separate agreements may govern advisory engagements, research collaborations, publishing arrangements, licenses, purchases, training, assessments, software, specifications, or other transactions with SFT. If a separate written agreement conflicts with these Terms regarding the subject matter of that agreement, the separate agreement controls.

Permitted Use

You may use the public website for lawful purposes, including learning about SFT, reviewing publicly available research and publications, evaluating potential collaboration, requesting information, and accessing materials made publicly available by SFT.

Subject to applicable intellectual-property rights and any separate license associated with particular material, you may view, reference, link to, and make ordinary personal or internal organizational use of publicly accessible website content.

Citation, quotation, reproduction, redistribution, modification, publication, incorporation into another work, or commercial use may require attribution, permission, or compliance with a separate license depending on the material involved.

Prohibited Use

You may not use the website in a manner that is unlawful, deceptive, harmful to others, or materially interferes with operation or security of the site.

Prohibited activities include attempts to:

• gain unauthorized access to website infrastructure, systems, accounts, administrative interfaces, or non-public information;
• bypass, disable, interfere with, or test security controls without authorization;
• introduce malware, malicious code, destructive payloads, or other harmful material;
• impersonate SFT or another person or organization;
• falsely represent an affiliation, endorsement, certification, partnership, or authorization from SFT;
• use SFT names, marks, publications, technical materials, or website content in a misleading manner;
• access the website through automated means in a manner that unreasonably burdens, disrupts, circumvents, or damages the site or its infrastructure; or
• use the website in violation of applicable law or the rights of SFT or any third party.

Website Content

SFT seeks to provide useful and accurate information, but website content may contain errors, omissions, outdated information, preliminary material, or information that later changes.

Technical, research, business, publication, product, service, partnership, funding, scheduling, personnel, pricing, availability, regulatory, or other information may be revised without notice as circumstances change.

A webpage should not be treated as the authoritative version of a specification, standard, license, publication, contract, assessment result, certification requirement, or other formal artifact when a separately identified authoritative document exists.

Research, Prototypes & Emerging Technologies

SFT conducts and publishes work spanning mature professional knowledge, technical architectures, specifications, reference implementations, active research, prototypes, technical validation, and longer-horizon technology development.

Descriptions of research-stage or development-stage technologies are provided to communicate the nature, direction, evidence, and status of the work. They should not be interpreted as guarantees that a technology will achieve a particular performance level, receive regulatory approval or certification, become commercially available, obtain financing, reach production, or succeed in a particular application.

Research results may evolve as additional evidence, testing, peer review, independent validation, implementation experience, or engineering work becomes available.

No Professional Advice

Unless expressly provided under a separate professional engagement, website content is general information and does not constitute individualized legal, financial, investment, tax, medical, regulatory, engineering, architectural, cybersecurity, compliance, safety, or other professional advice.

Technical papers, architectures, frameworks, educational materials, examples, research findings, and advisory descriptions should be evaluated in the context of the specific organization, system, building, jurisdiction, application, and risk environment in which they may be considered.

Decisions requiring licensed, regulated, certified, or otherwise specialized professional judgment should be reviewed by appropriately qualified professionals.

No Offer of Securities

Nothing on this public website constitutes an offer to sell, a solicitation of an offer to buy, or a recommendation concerning any security, investment, or financial instrument.

Information concerning SFT’s business, technologies, intellectual property, milestones, markets, potential opportunities, or future plans is provided for general informational purposes unless expressly included in formal materials delivered in connection with a separately conducted transaction.

Any securities-related transaction, if undertaken, would be subject to separate documentation and applicable legal requirements.

Intellectual Property

The website may contain material owned by SFT, licensed to SFT, made available under an open license, or owned by third parties.

SFT names, logos, original website text, graphics, diagrams, publications, research materials, specifications, software, inventions, documentation, and other content may be protected by copyright, trademark, patent, trade-secret, contractual, licensing, or other intellectual-property rights.

Nothing in these Terms grants a license to SFT intellectual property except the limited right to access and use the public website as described here or as expressly provided with particular material.

Separately licensed materials

Some publications, specifications, source code, reference implementations, data, or other resources may carry a specific open-source, Creative Commons, public, research, commercial, or other license.

When a particular resource identifies a separate license, the terms of that license govern use of that resource. These Website Terms are not intended to eliminate rights expressly granted under a separate license.

Additional information is available in SFT’s Intellectual Property Notice .

Communications, Ideas & Submissions

If you contact SFT through a public website form, email address, scheduler, or general inquiry channel, you authorize SFT to use the information you provide as reasonably necessary to review and respond to the communication.

You remain responsible for ensuring that you have the right to provide material included in your communication.

If confidential information needs to be exchanged in connection with a potential research, technical, commercial, publishing, or other collaboration, the parties should establish an appropriate written agreement or authorized communication channel before transmitting that information.

External Websites, Repositories & Services

The SFT website may link to or integrate with independent services such as research repositories, DOI services, source-code repositories, publishers, standards bodies, scheduling systems, academic institutions, government resources, partner organizations, and other external websites.

External services are operated by their respective providers. SFT does not control their availability, security, privacy practices, accuracy, terms, content, or continued operation.

A link to a third-party resource does not necessarily constitute endorsement of the provider, every statement appearing on the linked site, or any unrelated product or service offered there.

Website Availability & Changes

SFT may modify, reorganize, update, replace, suspend, or discontinue website pages, features, documents, links, or other public resources at any time.

URLs may change as the website evolves. Publications or technical artifacts that have independent repository, DOI, archive, or version records may remain available through those independent records even if the corresponding SFT webpage changes.

SFT does not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free availability of the website or any particular page, download, link, or online feature.

Disclaimer of Warranties

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the public website and its content are provided on an “as available” basis without warranties regarding uninterrupted availability, completeness, timeliness, accuracy, suitability for a particular purpose, or freedom from errors.

Nothing in this section limits an express warranty or obligation that SFT has separately agreed to in a written contract applicable to a particular product, service, license, publication, or engagement.

Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, SFT will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or similar damages arising solely from use of, inability to use, or reliance on the public website or general website content.

This limitation is not intended to exclude liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.

Separate contractual terms may establish different rights, obligations, warranties, remedies, or limitations for particular SFT products, services, licenses, publications, assessments, collaborations, or other engagements.

Governing Law

Except where applicable law requires otherwise, these Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Maryland, United States, without regard to principles that would require application of another jurisdiction’s law.

Subject to any applicable mandatory legal requirements, disputes relating specifically to use of this public website or these Terms may be brought before a court of competent jurisdiction in Maryland.

This provision does not alter a governing-law, jurisdiction, dispute-resolution, or venue provision contained in a separate written agreement between SFT and another party.

General Provisions

Changes to these Terms

SFT may update these Terms as the website, SFT activities, or applicable requirements change. The current version may be posted on this page with an updated revision date.

Severability

If a provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions are intended to remain in effect to the extent permitted by law.

No waiver

A failure by SFT to enforce a provision in a particular circumstance does not necessarily constitute a waiver of that provision in another circumstance.

Entire website-use terms

These Terms, together with the policies and notices expressly referenced here, describe the general terms applicable to use of the public SFT website. They do not replace separate agreements governing specific transactions or engagements.
