Terms of Service

SpaceSIO lets members turn a message, image, or dedication into a radio transmission and receive a proof-of-issuance record (a “Certificate of Issuance”) documenting that we processed and transmitted the signal. The Service also includes social features such as public feeds, profiles, likes, comments, and replies, an optional interface for automated agents (the “MCP endpoint”), and a referral/affiliate program.

The Certificate of Issuance attests that we issued and transmitted a signal from our equipment at a stated time. It is not a guarantee of reception, propagation, distance traveled, or arrival anywhere. See Section 4.

You must be at least 13 years old to use the Service, or older if the law where you live sets a higher minimum age to use an online or social-media service or to consent to the processing of your personal data. Where local law permits a person below the applicable age to use the Service with the consent of a parent or legal guardian, that consent must be given and you represent that it has been. If you do not meet the applicable minimum age (and, where required, do not have verifiable parental or guardian consent), you may not use the Service.

Because minimum-age and age-assurance requirements differ by country and change over time, we may, where we deem it necessary or where required by law, ask you to confirm or verify your age, apply age-assurance measures, restrict or remove access, or decline to make the Service available in certain jurisdictions. By using the Service you represent that you meet the applicable age requirement.

You are responsible for the accuracy of your registration information, for keeping your credentials confidential, and for all activity that occurs under your account. Notify us promptly at legal@spacesio.com of any unauthorized use. You may not share, sell, or transfer your account, impersonate others, or select a callsign or display name that is misleading, infringing, or offensive. We may reclaim callsigns, including for trademark, impersonation, safety, or inactivity reasons.

Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use the Service. We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service at any time. Certain features require a paid plan (Section 6).

SpaceSIO uses ground-based radio equipment operating at relatively low power. Radio propagation depends on many factors outside our control, including atmospheric and ionospheric conditions, space weather, solar activity, terrain, interference, equipment behavior, frequency, time of day, and regulatory limits.

• We do not guarantee that any signal will leave Earth’s atmosphere, reach outer space, travel any particular distance, or persist for any period of time.
• We do not guarantee that any signal will be received, detected, or decoded by any person, device, spacecraft, or other recipient, on Earth or elsewhere.
• We make no representation that a transmission can be recalled, stopped, corrected, or deleted once initiated. A transmission may be irreversible.
• Any depiction, visualization, sonification, sky map, distance figure, “reach,” or similar output is an illustrative or approximate representation derived from the data we hold, not a measurement of where a signal actually went or an assertion that it was received.
• The Certificate of Issuance and related proofs document that we issued and transmitted a signal from our equipment; they do not certify reception, arrival, or any effect in the world.

You acknowledge that SpaceSIO is offered for novelty, entertainment, commemorative, and creative purposes, and that you are not purchasing, and we are not promising, delivery of any message to space or to any recipient. You must not use the Service for any purpose that depends on guaranteed transmission, reception, timing, secrecy, or delivery, including emergency, safety-of-life, medical, navigational, financial, or other critical communications.

“User Content” means anything you submit, transmit, upload, or display through the Service, including messages, titles, images, video, comments, callsigns, and profile information. As between you and us, you retain the rights you already hold in your User Content. You are solely responsible for your User Content and for the consequences of transmitting or posting it.

You grant Royler a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, transferable, and sublicensable license to host, store, reproduce, encode, compress, transmit (including over the air as radio signals), publicly perform and display, adapt for technical formats, and otherwise use your User Content for the purposes of operating, providing, securing, promoting, and improving the Service and its social and sharing features. This license continues for User Content that is public, shared, retransmitted (including scheduled re-broadcasts or “echos”), or retained in backups, and survives to the extent necessary after deletion for those residual purposes. Where you choose to make content public, other users and the public may view, share, and re-share it.

You also grant Royler, and our service providers acting on our behalf, the right to use your User Content, and data and metadata derived from it, to develop, train, fine-tune, evaluate, and improve machine-learning and artificial-intelligence models, features, and systems. This includes, for example, content moderation and safety, search, captioning and title suggestions, personalization, and the automated-agent (MCP) features of the Service. This right is worldwide, royalty-free, and sublicensable for these purposes, and it survives to the extent your User Content has already been incorporated into a trained model or into aggregated or de-identified training data. Models, aggregated data, and other outputs derived from User Content are not themselves your User Content. Where applicable law requires your consent or an opt-out for this use, we will provide it as described in our Privacy Policy.

You represent and warrant that you own or have all rights necessary to submit your User Content and to grant this license, and that your User Content and its transmission do not violate any law or these Terms.

If you send us ideas, suggestions, or feedback, you grant us an unrestricted, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free license to use them for any purpose without obligation to you.

Some features require a paid subscription. Prices, plan limits, and features are described at checkout and may change. Paid plans are billed in advance on a recurring basis (for example, monthly or annually) through our third-party payment processor, Stripe. You authorize us and Stripe to charge your payment method on each renewal until you cancel.

Subscriptions renew automatically for the same interval unless you cancel before the renewal date through your account or the billing portal. Cancellation stops future renewals; it does not retroactively refund the current period. Except where required by law or expressly stated, payments are non-refundable and partial periods are not prorated. If a charge fails, we may suspend or downgrade paid features. We may change prices on a going-forward basis with notice; continued use after a price change constitutes acceptance.

You are responsible for any taxes associated with your purchases except taxes based on our net income. We may offer complimentary or comped accounts at our discretion and may revoke them at any time.

If you participate in our affiliate or referral program, these additional terms apply and form part of these Terms. Participation is a revocable privilege, not a right, and may be modified, suspended, or terminated by us at any time.

• Commissions are earned only on qualifying paid subscriptions that are actually collected. We use a “money-collected-first” model: a commission accrues only when the referred customer’s payment is successfully captured, is subject to a holding period before it becomes payable, and is reversed (“clawed back”) if the underlying payment is refunded, charged back, disputed, or reversed.
• Commission rates, attribution windows, holding periods, minimum payout thresholds, and payout timing are those stated in the program materials at the applicable time and may change prospectively.
• Payouts are made through Stripe Connect. You must complete Stripe’s onboarding and identity/tax verification to receive funds. Stripe, not Royler, issues any applicable tax forms and handles payout compliance. You are responsible for all taxes on amounts you receive.
• Fraud and abuse are prohibited, including self-referrals, referring accounts you control, using disposable or fake identities or email addresses, incentivized or deceptive promotion, spam, cookie-stuffing, bidding on our trademarks, or misrepresenting your relationship with us. We may withhold, delay, reverse, or forfeit commissions, place accounts on hold, and terminate participation for suspected fraud, abuse, refunds, chargebacks, or violation of these Terms, and we may net negative balances against future earnings.
• You must promote the Service truthfully, comply with all applicable advertising, marketing, anti-spam, and disclosure laws (including clearly disclosing your affiliate relationship), and never make claims about SpaceSIO that we have not authorized, including claims that signals are guaranteed to reach space or any recipient.
• We may modify or discontinue the program, adjust or reverse commissions, and withhold payouts to comply with law or manage risk. Unpaid amounts below the payout threshold or associated with terminated accounts may be forfeited to the extent permitted by law.

You agree not to use the Service to create, transmit, upload, post, or share content or to engage in conduct that:

• is unlawful, or violates the rights of others, including intellectual-property, privacy, publicity, or contractual rights;
• sexually exploits or endangers minors in any way; we have zero tolerance for child sexual abuse material (CSAM) and will remove it, terminate accounts, preserve evidence, and report to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children and relevant authorities as required by law;
• is harassing, threatening, hateful, defamatory, or incites violence, or that promotes self-harm, terrorism, or illegal activity;
• is fraudulent, deceptive, spam, or bulk unsolicited content, or that impersonates any person or entity;
• contains malware, or attempts to probe, scan, overload, disrupt, or gain unauthorized access to the Service, our radio/relay systems, other accounts, or related networks;
• circumvents plan limits, rate limits, moderation, security, or authentication, or misuses the MCP endpoint or our API; or
• violates radio, telecommunications, export, sanctions, or other applicable laws, or attempts to transmit content that is prohibited by any regulation applicable to our equipment or licenses.

You are responsible for complying with all laws that apply to you and your content, including where you or your intended audience are located.

We are not obligated to monitor User Content, but we may review, moderate, refuse, hide, label, restrict, or remove any content and may suspend, limit, or terminate any account, at our discretion, including for violations of these Terms, legal or safety reasons, risk management, or no reason where permitted by law. We may act on community flags and automated signals. We are not liable for User Content or for decisions to remove or retain it.

You may stop using the Service and delete your account at any time. Upon termination, your license to use the Service ends; sections that by their nature should survive (including content licenses to the extent stated, disclaimers, limitations of liability, indemnification, and dispute resolution) survive.

We respect intellectual-property rights and respond to notices of alleged infringement under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) and similar laws. If you believe content on the Service infringes your copyright, send a notice to our designated agent at legal@spacesio.com including: identification of the work; identification and location of the allegedly infringing material; your contact information; a statement of good-faith belief that the use is unauthorized; a statement, under penalty of perjury, that your notice is accurate and that you are authorized to act; and your physical or electronic signature. We may remove allegedly infringing content and terminate repeat infringers. Affected users may submit a counter-notice.

The Service relies on third-party providers (for example, Stripe for payments and payouts, and our hosting, storage, database, and email providers) and may link to or interoperate with third-party sites and services. We do not control and are not responsible for third-party services, and your use of them is governed by their terms and policies.

THE SERVICE, INCLUDING ALL TRANSMISSIONS, CERTIFICATES, VISUALIZATIONS, AND OTHER OUTPUTS, IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE, THAT ANY SIGNAL WILL BE TRANSMITTED, PROPAGATE, LEAVE THE ATMOSPHERE, REACH SPACE, OR BE RECEIVED, OR THAT ANY CONTENT WILL BE PRESERVED, DELIVERED, OR REMOVABLE. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW CERTAIN DISCLAIMERS, SO SOME OF THE ABOVE MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ROYLER AND ITS OWNERS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AND SUPPLIERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, GOODWILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE OR THESE TERMS, WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT, OR ANY OTHER THEORY, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. THIS EXPRESSLY INCLUDES ANY CLAIM THAT A SIGNAL DID OR DID NOT LEAVE THE ATMOSPHERE, REACH SPACE, TRAVEL A GIVEN DISTANCE, OR REACH ANY RECIPIENT.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATING TO THE SERVICE IN ANY TWELVE-MONTH PERIOD WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID US FOR THE SERVICE DURING THAT PERIOD OR ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS ($100). SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW CERTAIN LIMITATIONS, SO SOME OF THE ABOVE MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Royler and its owners, officers, employees, and suppliers from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or related to your User Content, your use of the Service, your violation of these Terms or of any law, or your infringement of any third-party right.

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS.

Before starting an arbitration, you agree to first contact us at legal@spacesio.com and give us 30 days to resolve the dispute informally.

You and Royler agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to the Service or these Terms will be resolved by final and binding individual arbitration administered under the rules of a recognized arbitration provider, rather than in court, except that either party may bring an individual claim in small-claims court, and either party may seek injunctive relief for intellectual-property or unauthorized-access matters. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this section.

You and Royler agree that each may bring claims against the other only in an individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective, consolidated, or representative proceeding. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims. YOU AND ROYLER WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL.

You may opt out of this arbitration agreement by sending written notice to legal@spacesio.com within 30 days of first accepting these Terms, stating your name, account, and intent to opt out. If you opt out, disputes will be resolved in the courts identified in Section 16.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. Subject to Section 15, the state and federal courts located in Delaware have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute not subject to arbitration, and you consent to personal jurisdiction and venue there. The Service is controlled and operated from the United States; if you use it from elsewhere, you are responsible for compliance with local laws.

We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will take reasonable steps to notify you, such as posting the updated Terms with a new effective date or notifying you in the Service. Changes are effective when posted unless stated otherwise. Your continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance. If you do not agree, stop using the Service.

These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between you and Royler regarding the Service and supersede prior agreements. If any provision is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in effect, and the unenforceable provision will be modified to the minimum extent necessary. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms without our consent; we may assign them, including in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets. We are not liable for delays or failures caused by events beyond our reasonable control. Notices to you may be provided through the Service or by email; notices to us should be sent to legal@spacesio.com.

SpaceSIO is operated by Royler LLC. For questions about these Terms, or for legal, copyright, or DMCA notices, contact legal@spacesio.com.
