Symposium Trial Terms of Service
Plain English. The complimentary 30-day, 300-receipt trial extended to guests of the intouch|Live San Diego Business Symposium.
1. Who these terms cover
These Terms apply to the complimentary trial of the LedgerProof℠ service ("the Service") offered to attendees of the intouch|Live San Diego Business Symposium held May 18, 2026 ("Symposium"). By reserving a trial slot at ledgerproofhq.io, you ("you," "your") agree to these Terms.
LedgerProof is operated by Veronica Dawkins ("we," "us," "our"). LedgerProof℠ is a service mark used in commerce; trademark application is pending.
2. The trial
- Free. The trial is gratis. No credit card. No conversion obligation.
- One per registrant. The trial is non-transferable, limited to one reservation per Symposium registrant, and tied to the email address you submit on the reservation form.
- 30 days from activation. Your 30-day trial clock starts on activation day, June 15, 2026, not on the date you reserved.
- 300 receipts. You may issue up to 300 cryptographic receipts during the trial. We will notify you at 80% of your quota.
- No SLA. The Service during trial is offered as-is, without uptime guarantees. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to keep it available.
3. What we collect, what we don't
The Service is built around a privacy guarantee enforced by architecture, not by promise. Your documents are hashed in your browser using SHA-256 before any network call. Only the resulting 64-character fingerprint, your timestamp, your Ed25519 signature, and the chain position are transmitted to our servers.
We do not collect: document contents, document filenames (unless you optionally attach one to the receipt), document text, document metadata, or any information that can reverse-engineer your document.
We do collect: your name, email, ticket ID, optional firm and use case (from the reservation form); your IP address at form submission for fraud and abuse mitigation; the cryptographic fingerprints, signatures, and chain entries you publish during the trial. Full details are in the Privacy Notice.
4. What your receipts do
Each receipt is a signed assertion that, at the timestamped moment, the cryptographic fingerprint of your document existed and was associated with your Ed25519 key. The receipt is independently verifiable on the Bitcoin blockchain via the daily Merkle anchor. It is not legal, tax, financial, or accounting advice. It is not a notarization, a regulatory filing, or a substitute for any statutorily required process. It is a cryptographic timestamp.
5. After the trial
- Receipts persist. All receipts you issued and chain entries we published during the trial remain valid and verifiable indefinitely. Verification of any LedgerProof receipt is free, forever, including for parties who are not LedgerProof customers.
- No automatic renewal. The trial does not automatically convert to a paid subscription. We will email you when the trial is ending and offer paid plans; you decide whether to subscribe.
- Account export. You may download a JSON export of all your receipts at any time during or after the trial.
6. Acceptable use
You agree not to use the Service to: (a) anchor content that infringes third-party intellectual property rights; (b) anchor content that is illegal under U.S. federal or California state law; (c) circumvent the 300-receipt cap by creating multiple reservations; (d) attempt to reverse-engineer, replay-attack, or otherwise compromise the cryptographic integrity of the chain; or (e) resell, sublicense, or redistribute the Service.
7. Intellectual property
Yours stays yours. You retain all copyright, trade-secret, and intellectual property rights to the documents you anchor. LedgerProof claims no rights to your content. Anchoring a fingerprint is a timestamp, not a publication, and does not place your content into the public domain.
Ours stays ours. The LedgerProof name, logo, protocol specification, software, website, and chain infrastructure are owned by us. Patent applications are on file (USPTO 64/034,296 and 64/040,583). The protocol specification will be released under an open license following the v1.0 audit.
8. Disclaimers
The Service is provided "as is." We disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement, to the maximum extent permitted by law.
The Service is not a regulated financial institution, broker-dealer, custodian, or registered investment advisor. It does not provide legal, tax, or accounting advice. It is not a substitute for professional counsel.
9. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total liability arising from or related to the trial is limited to the greater of (a) one hundred U.S. dollars ($100) or (b) the total amount you paid us during the trial (which is zero). We are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, even if advised of their possibility.
10. Termination
We may suspend or terminate your trial access if you materially breach these Terms or attempt to compromise the integrity of the Service. We will provide written notice (by email) before suspension where reasonably possible. Receipts and chain entries you issued before termination remain valid and verifiable.
11. Choice of law and disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules.
Before initiating any formal dispute, the parties agree to attempt informal resolution by emailing hello@ledgerproofhq.io with a written description of the dispute. If the matter is not resolved within 30 days, either party may pursue binding arbitration before a single arbitrator of the American Arbitration Association under its Commercial Arbitration Rules. The arbitration shall take place in San Diego County, California, in English. Each party shall bear its own costs unless the arbitrator awards otherwise.
12. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms before activation day. Material changes will be emailed to your reservation address at least seven days before they take effect. Continued use of the Service after the effective date constitutes acceptance.
