Guidelines for collaboration, usage, and community membership.
Last Updated: February 2025
Welcome to RAIHARC (Robotics, AI, Hardware, and Research Community). By accessing our website, participating in our programs, or collaborating on projects, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. RAIHARC is a community-driven research initiative, not a traditional commercial entity. Our primary goal is knowledge creation, innovation, and technological empowerment.
Note: These Terms of Service serve as a general framework for community interaction and website usage. Specific terms, deliverables, and obligations for collaborative projects will be outlined in separate agreements, contracts, or Memorandums of Understanding (MoU) consented to by all involved parties.
RAIHARC provides research advisory, system prototyping, educational workshops, and collaborative development.
We are built on trust and respect. All members and partners agree to:
Violation of these standards may force immediate termination of collaboration or membership.
We believe in balancing open innovation with proprietary protection.
Financial contributions (quoted as project costs) are strictly for:
Payments are non-refundable once resources have been allocated or purchased, as they directly fund immediate project needs.
Please read this section carefully.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, RAIHARC AND ITS MEMBERS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS OR REVENUES, WHETHER INCURRED DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, OR ANY LOSS OF DATA, USE, GOODWILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, RESULTING FROM: (A) YOUR ACCESS TO OR USE OF OR INABILITY TO ACCESS OR USE OUR SERVICES; (B) ANY CONDUCT OR CONTENT OF ANY THIRD PARTY ON THE SERVICES; OR (C) UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS, USE, OR ALTERATION OF YOUR TRANSMISSIONS OR CONTENT.
Prototype Disclaimer: Hardware and software prototypes are provided "as is" for research and validation purposes. They are not certified for safety-critical (e.g., medical, automotive) applications unless explicitly stated and certified by third-party authorities.
We reserve the right to modify these specific terms at any time. We will provide notice of significant changes by posting the new terms on this site. Your continued use of our services constitutes acceptance of those changes.
If you have questions about these Terms, please contact the administration team at raiharc@gmail.com.
