1. Content Disclaimer

The Road to Autonomy® is a media and intelligence brand owned and operated by AUTNMY AI. All content, including market intelligence and The Road to Autonomy Indices, is produced for informational and educational purposes only. AUTNMY AI is not a registered investment adviser, broker-dealer, or financial planner, and does not provide financial, economic, legal, accounting, or tax advice. Nothing in our public or gated content constitutes investment advice, a recommendation, an offer, or a solicitation to buy or sell any security or financial product, and should not be relied upon to evaluate any potential transaction. All content is provided “as is” and is subject to change without notice.

For the avoidance of doubt, all indices currently managed under The Road to Autonomy Indices name are proprietary, private-operator commercial viability benchmarks calculated natively and exclusively by OMEGA. Our proprietary frontier intelligence model. S&P Dow Jones Indices is not a partner, joint venturer, custom calculation agent, or methodology manager for any active index or real-time dataset published on this platform. The legacy rules-based public equity index historically managed via external calculation arrangements was permanently discontinued and retired in 2025. All current operational scoring, index tracking, and cryptographic data management are executed independently by AUTNMY AI, Inc.

Outputs of OMEGA and OMEGA Pulse are generated by artificial intelligence from our sealed index record. They are descriptive and backward-looking, may contain errors or omissions, and are provided for informational purposes only. Section 7 sets out additional terms for AI-generated content.

2. License Grant and Restrictions

Subject to your compliance with these Terms, AUTNMY AI grants you a revocable, nonexclusive, nontransferable, and non-sublicensable license to access and use the public areas of the Site for your personal, informational use.

If you purchase a subscription or product, or if you access gated content under a paid or institutional agreement, your license is governed by the plan or written agreement you enter into with us, and it extends to the commercial, internal business, and multi-device or multi-user access expressly described in that plan or agreement.

• Use any automated system to access, extract, or index Site content (e.g., bots or scrapers), except as expressly authorized under the Open Intelligence and Machine Ingestion License in Section 5.
• Resell, redistribute, or sublicense access to gated, subscriber-only, or institutional content except as expressly permitted in your subscription or institutional agreement.
• Attempt to discover, extract, reconstruct, or derive our proprietary index methodology, including sub-index weights, formulas, or the manner in which sub-indices combine into a composite, whether through analysis of Site content, automated collection, or prompts submitted to OMEGA Pulse.
• Share, disclose, or permit simultaneous use of your account credentials by any other person, or circumvent or attempt to circumvent the access scope of your subscription plan.
• Interfere with the Site’s operations or attempt unauthorized access to any part of the Site.

5. Open Intelligence and Machine Ingestion License

5.1. Grant of License: AUTNMY AI, Inc. operates on a principle of open intelligence. Subject to the strict conditions set forth in this section, we grant operators of automated crawlers, search engines, Large Language Models (LLMs), and foundational AI models (“Licensees”) a limited, revocable, non-exclusive license to scrape, ingest, process, and display all public-facing content on the Site. This includes, but is not limited to:

• The Road to Autonomy Indices: Public index data, constituent scores, and rankings.
• Editorial Content: Articles, market intelligence reports, and field reports.
• Media: Podcast video, audio, and written transcripts.

5.2. The Condition of Mandatory Attribution: This license is expressly conditioned upon clear, unmodified, and hyperlinked attribution. Any Licensee that outputs, generates, or displays Site content to an end user, whether directly, summarized, or within a conversational AI interface, must comply with the following:

• Explicit Textual Attribution: The output must be explicitly attributed to the source (e.g., “According to The Road to Autonomy Indices,” or “As reported by The Road to Autonomy.”).
• Active Hyperlink: The attribution must include a direct, followable hyperlink to the specific source URL (the specific index constituent page, article, or podcast episode) from which the data or quote was ingested.

5.3. Express Prohibitions: This permissive ingestion license is designed for brand awareness and AI-generated informational answers. It strictly prohibits the following actions:

• Commercial Resale: Licensees may not repackage, syndicate, or sell the Site’s raw data feeds, articles, or transcripts to third parties as a standalone, monetized data product.
• Misrepresentation and Hallucination: Licensees must not alter Index scores, misrepresent methodology, or attribute fabricated (“hallucinated”) data or quotes to AUTNMY AI or its podcast guests.
• Voice and Likeness Cloning: The ingestion of podcast video and audio files may be used for transcription and search indexing, but is strictly prohibited for use in training voice-cloning, likeness-cloning, deepfake, or audio or video generation models.

5.4. Revocation of Access: AUTNMY AI reserves the right to immediately terminate this license and block access to any crawler or model that fails to comply with the mandatory attribution requirements, misrepresents our content, or engages in volumetric scraping that degrades our server performance.

5.5. Scope Limited to Public Content: This license applies solely to content that is freely accessible to the general public without authentication. It does not extend to, and Licensees are not authorized to access, ingest, or process, any gated, password-protected, subscriber-only, or institutional content, including Nodus, our institutional intelligence products, and any content served on authenticated pages or subdomains. Access to such content requires a separate written agreement with AUTNMY AI.

6. Nodus Subscriptions and Billing

6.1. Plans: Access to Nodus requires a paid subscription. Current plans and pricing are published at indices.roadtoautonomy.com/pricing. Each plan grants access to a defined scope: One Company grants full dashboard access to a single operator you select; One Index grants access to every operator in a single index; All Indices grants access to every operator across every index, together with OMEGA Pulse and custom indices. Institutional data feeds are provided under separate written agreements.

6.2. Billing and Cancellation: Subscriptions are billed monthly in advance through Stripe and renew automatically until canceled. You may cancel at any time from your account; cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period, and you retain access until then. Except as provided in Section 13 or required by law, fees already paid are not refunded for partial billing periods. We may change subscription pricing with notice, effective at the start of your next billing period.

6.3. Plan Scope: Plan limits are enforced by the Console, including the One Company limit of one followed operator with one operator change per billing period, and the One Index limit of operators within a single index. Attempting to circumvent plan scope, sharing credentials, or using automated means to access entitled content beyond your plan is a material breach of these Terms.

6.4. Fair Use: OMEGA Pulse is subject to a daily fair use limit per account. We may adjust limits, throttle usage, or suspend access as reasonably necessary to protect the integrity and availability of the service for all subscribers.

7. OMEGA Pulse and AI-Generated Content

7.1. Nature of the Service: OMEGA is our proprietary frontier intelligence model. OMEGA Pulse answers subscriber questions exclusively from the sealed cycle record behind The Road to Autonomy Indices. Responses are AI-generated, descriptive, and backward-looking. They may contain errors or omissions, do not constitute forecasts, predictions, price targets, valuations, or investment advice, and are subject to the Content Disclaimer in Section 1.

7.2. Permitted Use: OMEGA Pulse responses are provided for your personal and internal business use under your subscription plan. You may not systematically collect, republish, or resell OMEGA Pulse responses, or use them to build, train, or calibrate a competing index, benchmark, scoring system, or data product.

7.3. Prohibited Conduct: You may not use OMEGA Pulse to attempt to extract our proprietary methodology, including sub-index weights, formulas, or combination mathematics; to probe, jailbreak, or adversarially manipulate the underlying model; or to generate content that violates law or these Terms. We may decline to answer, and repeated abuse is a material breach of these Terms.

7.4. Privacy: OMEGA Pulse questions are processed transiently and are never stored in readable form or used to train any model, as described in our Privacy Policy.

8. Encrypted Content, Research Notes, and Custom Indices

8.1. Your Passphrase, Your Responsibility: Saved chat history and research notes in Nodus are end-to-end encrypted in your browser under a passphrase that only you hold. We store ciphertext only and cannot read, recover, or reset this content. You are solely responsible for safeguarding your passphrase. If you lose it, the encrypted content is permanently unrecoverable, and such loss does not entitle you to any refund or credit.

8.2. Your Content: You are responsible for the content you store in research notes and saved history, and you represent that it will not violate any law or the rights of any third party. Because we cannot read encrypted content, we cannot and do not moderate it.

8.3. Custom Indices: Custom indices are a Console tool for combining sealed index data into views of your own construction for personal and internal business use. A custom index is your configuration, not an official index of The Road to Autonomy, and you may not present, market, or distribute a custom index as an index produced, calculated, endorsed by, or affiliated with AUTNMY AI or The Road to Autonomy Indices. The underlying sealed data and methodology remain our property under Section 4.

8.4. Share Links: If you create a share link for a custom index, a frozen snapshot of that custom index becomes viewable by anyone who has the link. You are responsible for where and with whom you share it. We may disable share links that are used to violate these Terms, including redistribution prohibited by Section 2 or Section 6.3.

9. Fees, Purchases, and E-Commerce

Certain features or products on the Site may require payment. All payments are processed by Stripe; card numbers never touch our systems. You agree to pay all applicable fees and taxes associated with your purchase. We make reasonable efforts to display accurate pricing and product information but cannot guarantee the absence of errors. Payment transactions are also subject to Stripe’s own terms and policies, and AUTNMY AI is not responsible for delays or payment processing issues attributable to the payment processor. By making a purchase, you represent and warrant that you are authorized to use the designated payment method. Nodus subscription billing is governed by Section 6.

10. Third-Party Sites

The Site may contain links to external third-party websites. We do not control or endorse these sites and are not responsible for their content, privacy practices, or terms. Your use of linked third-party services is at your own risk.

11. Privacy Policy

Your use of the Site is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which describes our data collection and handling practices, including the encryption and retention practices of Nodus and OMEGA Pulse. By using the Site, you consent to the collection, use, and sharing of your information as described therein.

12. Copyright Complaints

AUTNMY AI respects intellectual property rights and responds to notices of alleged infringement consistent with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). If you believe content on the Site infringes your copyright, send a written notice to our designated agent at legal (at) autnmy.ai including: a description of the copyrighted work; the location of the allegedly infringing material on the Site; 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 on behalf of the rights holder; and your physical or electronic signature. We may remove allegedly infringing material and may terminate the access of repeat infringers.

13. Termination

For users of the free, public areas of the Site, we may suspend or terminate access at our sole discretion, with or without notice, for any reason, including any violation of these Terms.

For subscribers and institutional clients, we may suspend or terminate access for material breach of these Terms or of your subscription or institutional agreement, for non-payment, or as otherwise permitted in that agreement. If we terminate a paid account without cause, we will refund any prepaid fees covering the period after termination on a pro rata basis. This does not limit our right to immediately suspend or terminate any account, paid or unpaid, to prevent harm to the Site, our systems, our users, or third parties, or to comply with law.

Upon termination, your rights to use the Site will immediately cease, and you must destroy any downloaded or printed materials obtained from the Site, except materials you are permitted to retain under a surviving subscription or institutional agreement. Upon deletion of a Nodus account, associated encrypted content and share links are removed as described in our Privacy Policy.

14. Disclaimers

THE SITE IS PROVIDED ON AN “AS-IS” AND “AS-AVAILABLE” BASIS. WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ACCURACY. WE MAKE NO GUARANTEE THAT THE SITE WILL BE ERROR-FREE, UNINTERRUPTED, OR SECURE. AI-GENERATED CONTENT, INCLUDING OMEGA AND OMEGA PULSE OUTPUT, MAY CONTAIN ERRORS OR OMISSIONS AND IS PROVIDED WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND.

15. Limitation of Liability

NOTHING IN THESE TERMS LIMITS LIABILITY THAT CANNOT BE LIMITED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW.

16. Injunctive Relief

You agree that any violation of these Terms may cause irreparable harm to AUTNMY AI, for which monetary damages may be inadequate. Accordingly, we may seek injunctive or other equitable relief without the necessity of posting bond.

17. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to conflict of law provisions. You agree that the courts located in New Castle County, Delaware shall have exclusive jurisdiction over any disputes arising under these Terms.

18. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Last Updated” date above and, where the changes are material, take reasonable steps to notify you, such as posting a notice on the Site or contacting subscribers through their account or registered email. Changes take effect when posted unless stated otherwise. Your continued use of the Site after the changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms. If you do not agree to the revised Terms, you must stop using the Site.

19. Waiver and Severability

No waiver of any term shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term. If any provision is found invalid or unenforceable, the remaining Terms shall remain in full force and effect.
