Effective date: August 13, 2026
Version: 1.3
Please read these Website Terms of Use carefully. They govern access to and use of Oknowl's public websites and the submission of information through the public contact form. By accessing or using the Website, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Website or send an inquiry.
Contact inquiry: high-level and non-confidential only. Do not submit confidential, personal, regulated, proprietary, privileged, trade-secret, security-sensitive, export-controlled, or third-party restricted information through the public contact form. A confidential process may be established only under a separate written agreement signed by Oknowl Labs Inc.
1. About Oknowl and these Terms
These Website Terms of Use, the "Terms," are an agreement between you and Oknowl Labs Inc., an Alberta-based Canadian technology company operating under the public brand "Oknowl." In these Terms, "Oknowl," "we," "us," and "our" refer to Oknowl Labs Inc.
These Terms apply to oknowl.com and oknowl.ca, including redirected or related subdomains, the public landing page, public content, the public contact form, and related public pages that link to these Terms, collectively the "Website."
These Terms govern only the public Website. Any product Pilot, deployment, implementation, technology access, support, or other customer relationship is governed solely by a separate written agreement signed by the applicable parties. If a signed agreement conflicts with these Terms, the signed agreement governs the subject matter of that relationship.
2. Eligibility and acceptance
You may use the Website only if you are legally capable of entering into these Terms and your use is lawful where you access it. If you use the Website for an organization, you represent that you are authorized to act for that organization and that "you" includes both you and the organization.
Ordinary browsing constitutes acceptance of the general site-use provisions. Sending a contact inquiry constitutes your express agreement to its specific provisions, including the non-confidential submission rule, authority-to-submit requirement, limited submission licence, and Privacy Policy acknowledgment.
3. Informational purpose only
The Website describes Oknowl, the Operational Knowledge Layer category, public technology capabilities, intended authorized intelligence uses, and how a product or Pilot conversation may begin. Public content is provided for general information and preliminary discussion only. Oknowl is a technology platform, not a consulting diagnosis, and the Website does not provide professional, operational, legal, financial, safety, or other advice.
Website content is not operational, engineering, legal, regulatory, safety, cybersecurity, financial, accounting, medical, employment, food-safety, quality-assurance, investment, or other professional advice. Obtain qualified advice appropriate to your circumstances before making decisions or taking action based on public content.
Oknowl does not represent that the Website is complete, current, error-free, or suitable for a particular purpose or organization. Examples of industries, environments, knowledge conditions and intelligence uses are illustrative. They are not promises, limits, specifications or representations that Oknowl certifies intelligence output accuracy or a particular customer result.
4. No engagement, duty, or relationship
Accessing the Website, sending a contact inquiry, receiving a boundary receipt or initial reply, or participating in a preliminary fit conversation does not create a customer, client, consultant-client, adviser-client, fiduciary, confidential, partnership, joint venture, agency, employment, franchise, representative, or other professional relationship.
Oknowl has no obligation to investigate, respond to, evaluate, accept, or proceed with any inquiry. An engagement exists only after the relevant parties sign a separate written agreement defining scope, fees, responsibilities, confidentiality, intellectual property, data handling, security, limitations, and other applicable terms.
5. Contact inquiries
5.1 High-level, non-confidential submissions only
The public contact form is intended only for one brief, high-level, non-confidential description of an operational reality, knowledge challenge, or opportunity you would like to discuss. Fictional Shared Reality situations are illustrative and are not diagnoses. If you deliberately attach a complete Shared Reality experience, its public situation title, approved fictional scenario context, the five selected public context-dimension labels and titles, any visitor-selected familiarity statements, and a generated count summary confirming the complete package may accompany the inquiry when you choose Send inquiry. That public fictional context remains separate from your own operational description.
Do not submit:
- personal information about employees, customers, patients, residents, contractors, children, or other individuals, except your own ordinary business contact information;
- employee, customer, production, incident, medical, financial, or other regulated records;
- trade secrets, source code, detailed product architecture, inventions, patent-sensitive disclosures, formulas, recipes, process parameters, or confidential business records;
- credentials, access tokens, passwords, encryption keys, vulnerability details, network diagrams, or sensitive system information;
- legally privileged, export-controlled, classified, or third-party restricted information; or
- anything you are not authorized to provide.
Oknowl does not accept information submitted through the public contact form in confidence. A confidential channel may be established only after fit is confirmed and the parties enter appropriate written confidentiality terms.
5.2 Your authority and responsibility
You represent and warrant that you are authorized to provide each submission, that it is accurate to the best of your knowledge, and that providing it does not violate law, contract, intellectual property rights, privacy rights, confidentiality duties, employment obligations, customer commitments, or another person's rights.
You are responsible for removing names, identifiers, credentials, confidential details, and sensitive facts before submission. Oknowl may reject, delete, quarantine, or decline to review material that appears prohibited or sensitive.
5.3 Ownership and limited licence
You retain any ownership rights you lawfully hold in your submission. You grant Oknowl a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to receive, copy, transmit, validate, secure, store, review, route, summarize, and use it only to operate and protect the public contact form, assess potential fit, respond, arrange preliminary discussions, maintain necessary business and legal records, and enforce these Terms.
This licence does not transfer ownership to Oknowl. It does not authorize Oknowl to publicly disclose the submission, sell it, use it for unrelated advertising, or treat it as an assignment of an idea, invention, or intellectual property right.
5.4 Similar or independently developed ideas
Oknowl develops technology, methods, content, concepts, and commercial opportunities that may overlap with subjects described in a submission. A submission does not prevent Oknowl from using information it already possessed, independently develops without use of your protected information, receives lawfully from another source, or that is public or not protectable under applicable law.
Nothing in these Terms grants Oknowl ownership of your protected material or grants you ownership of Oknowl's pre-existing or independently developed technology, intellectual property, know-how, content, or business opportunities.
5.5 No promise of response, novelty, suitability, or result
Oknowl may decide that an inquiry is outside scope, insufficiently defined, unsuitable, duplicative, legally sensitive, technically impractical, commercially inappropriate, or not a current priority. Oknowl makes no promise that a submission is novel, protectable, solvable, suitable for an engagement, or capable of producing a particular result.
6. Acceptable use
You must use the Website lawfully and without harming Oknowl, visitors, providers, or third parties. You must not:
- submit unlawful, false, fraudulent, abusive, infringing, malicious, or harmful material;
- interfere with the Website or transmit malware, harmful code, spam, or denial-of-service traffic;
- circumvent security, rate limits, bot controls, access restrictions, or technical protections;
- probe, scan, test, exploit, or disclose vulnerabilities without prior written authorization;
- scrape, harvest, mirror, frame, or systematically extract Website content or contact information, except ordinary search-engine indexing that respects published instructions;
- reverse engineer or attempt to discover private Oknowl technology, source code, non-public architecture, methods, algorithms, internal concepts, or security mechanisms;
- use the Website or its content to train a competing model, dataset, product, service, or commercial repository without prior written permission;
- misrepresent affiliation with Oknowl or imply endorsement, partnership, certification, or authorization; or
- assist another person in doing a prohibited act.
Oknowl may block, restrict, investigate, preserve evidence of, or report suspected misuse and may cooperate with providers and lawful authorities where appropriate.
7. Oknowl intellectual property
The Website and its content, including the Oknowl name and logo, brand elements, text, graphics, illustrations, visual systems, design, code, arrangement, metadata, social cards, and other materials, are owned by or licensed to Oknowl and protected by applicable intellectual property and unfair-competition laws.
Subject to these Terms, Oknowl grants you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to access and view the Website for legitimate personal or internal business evaluation. You may print or save reasonable extracts for that purpose if you do not remove notices, modify meaning, publish the material, create derivative commercial materials, or imply endorsement.
No right, title, licence, or interest is granted in Oknowl's private platform, methods, architecture, algorithms, internal terminology, source code, inventions, non-public materials, or other confidential technology. All rights not expressly granted are reserved.
8. Third-party services and links
The Website may rely on or link to third-party hosting, security, email, scheduling, or other services. Third parties operate under their own terms, privacy notices, availability, and security practices. Oknowl does not control and is not responsible for third-party content, services, changes, outages, or acts, except to the extent required by applicable law or a separate written agreement.
A link or integration does not imply endorsement, partnership, or verification.
9. Privacy and electronic communications
Oknowl's handling of personal information through the Website is described in the Privacy Policy.
By submitting an inquiry, you authorize Oknowl to send messages reasonably necessary to acknowledge, assess, and respond to that inquiry. A submission does not enroll you in a newsletter or ongoing marketing list.
10. Website availability and changes
Oknowl may modify, suspend, withdraw, restrict, or discontinue any part of the Website without notice. Public content is not a binding offer, service specification, roadmap commitment, or promise that a capability will be released or maintained.
11. Disclaimer of warranties
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE WEBSITE AND ITS CONTENT ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES, OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR COLLATERAL, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ACCURACY, COMPLETENESS, AVAILABILITY, MERCHANTABILITY, MERCHANTABLE QUALITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, QUIET ENJOYMENT, SECURITY, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.
Oknowl does not warrant that the Website will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, free from harmful components, compatible with your systems, or suitable for an operational or business decision. You use it at your own risk and remain responsible for your systems, backups, security, and decisions.
Nothing in these Terms excludes a warranty, condition, right, remedy, or liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.
12. Limitation of liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, OKNOWL LABS INC. AND ITS DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, REPRESENTATIVES, AFFILIATES, LICENSORS, AND SERVICE PROVIDERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, AGGRAVATED, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, SAVINGS, OPPORTUNITIES, GOODWILL, REPUTATION, DATA, USE, OR BUSINESS CONTINUITY, ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO THE WEBSITE, WEBSITE CONTENT, A PUBLIC SUBMISSION, OR AN INABILITY TO USE THE WEBSITE.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, OKNOWL'S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO THE WEBSITE OR A PUBLIC CONTACT INQUIRY WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF CAD $100 AND THE AMOUNT, IF ANY, YOU PAID OKNOWL SPECIFICALLY FOR USE OF THE WEBSITE DURING THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM.
These limitations apply regardless of the form of action and do not apply to liability that cannot lawfully be limited or excluded.
13. Your responsibility for misuse
You will be responsible for losses, claims, liabilities, damages, and reasonable costs incurred by Oknowl to the extent caused by your unlawful use of the Website, intentional interference with Website security, submission of material you were not authorized to provide, infringement of another person's rights, or breach of a confidentiality or legal obligation owed to a third party.
This section does not apply to the extent a loss was caused by Oknowl's own negligence, wilful misconduct, breach of these Terms, or violation of applicable law.
14. Suspension and termination
Oknowl may restrict or terminate access if it reasonably believes you breached these Terms, created legal or security risk, interfered with the Website, submitted prohibited material, or used the Website unlawfully. Provisions that should survive by their nature will survive termination.
15. Governing law and courts
These Terms are governed by the laws of the Province of Alberta and the applicable federal laws of Canada, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Subject to mandatory rights or forum protections that cannot lawfully be waived, disputes relating to the Website or these Terms will be brought exclusively in the courts located in Alberta, Canada.
The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.
16. Changes to these Terms
Oknowl may update these Terms to reflect changes in the Website, law, risk, providers, business practices, or public engagement model. The updated version will display a revised effective date and version. Changes apply prospectively from that date.
17. General provisions
These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and contact-form notice, constitute the entire agreement concerning public Website use. They do not replace a separately signed confidentiality or customer agreement.
If a provision is invalid or unenforceable, it will be enforced to the maximum lawful extent and the remaining provisions will continue. Failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. Headings are for convenience only. "Including" means "including without limitation."
You may not assign these Terms without Oknowl's prior written consent. Oknowl may assign them in connection with a reorganization, financing, merger, acquisition, sale of assets, or transfer of the Website or relevant business, subject to applicable law.
