The identity verification protocol described on this Website is separate from the Website itself. The protocol is available as open source software via the GitHub repository linked on this Website and is governed solely by the applicable open source license, not these Terms. The Company makes no representations or warranties regarding the protocol or open source software and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, disclaims all liability arising from it; your use of the protocol is at your own risk and subject to the applicable open source license. Contributions to the protocol are made through the GitHub repository and are governed by its applicable open source license and any contributor agreement or contribution guidelines posted there, not by these Terms.

The text, graphics, and design of this Website are owned by the Company or its licensors and protected by applicable intellectual property law. This Section covers the Website only; it does not apply to the x401 protocol or its specification, which are open and addressed in Section 2.
