Legal

Terms of Service

The terms for using mindgardenai.com — a publication, not a product.

Effective date: August 2026 Last updated: August 2026

Acceptance

By using mindgardenai.com you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, do not use the site.

Who operates it

MindGarden LLC (UBI 605 531 024), an independent research and consulting practice.

What this site is

A publication. It is free to read, requires no account, and carries research notes, published papers and links to source code. There is no software service running here and nothing to sign up for.

Previous versions of this site described a hosted research platform at cloud.mindgardenai.com and related experiments. Those services have been retired and are no longer available. Any page here that still mentions them is describing history.

Content and licensing

The writing on this site — posts, pages and papers — is © MindGarden LLC unless stated otherwise on the item itself. You may quote it with attribution and a link. Republishing a whole post, or using it to train a model, requires permission.

Papers published on Zenodo carry whatever licence the Zenodo record states, and that licence governs them.

Source code in the linked repositories is governed by the licence in each repository, not by this page. Where a repository is Apache-2.0, that is what applies to it.

No advice, no warranty

Everything here is published for research and educational purposes. It is provided as is, without warranty of any kind. Security research describes what was observed under specific conditions; it is not a guarantee about your systems and it is not professional advice. Consulting engagements are governed by a separate written agreement, not by this page.

To the fullest extent the law allows, MindGarden LLC is not liable for any damages arising from your use of this site or anything you read on it.

Acceptable use

Do not use this site to break the law, to attack the site or its infrastructure, to scrape it in a way that degrades it for other people, or to misrepresent the research it publishes.

Automated readers are welcome. The posts are published as plain Markdown at /blog/<slug>.md, there is an index at /llms.txt, and the site answers MCP at /mcp — use those rather than scraping the pages.

Security research

If you find a vulnerability in this site, report it to admin@mindgardenai.com before disclosing it publicly. Good-faith reports are welcome.

Changes

These terms may change; the effective date above changes with them. Continuing to use the site after a change means you accept it.

Governing law

Washington State, United States.
