Terms of Service

Website content

Website content is provided for general informational purposes and does not constitute legal, financial, security, or professional advice. You should not rely on public site content as a substitute for advice tailored to your circumstances.

Consulting and other product engagements

Consulting, research, advisory, software, and custom product engagements are subject to the applicable statement of work, master services agreement, NDA, license, or other written agreement. If a signed agreement conflicts with these terms, the signed agreement controls.

No brokerage, representation, or guaranteed third-party outcomes

Syntony Research LLC provides evaluation, research, governance, and engineering services. It is not an access broker, introductions firm, placement agent, lobbying or public-relations firm, or outsourced business-development representative. Syntony does not sell introductions, professional relationships, or access to individuals or institutions. It does not arrange meetings with third-party decision-makers or access to them as a contracted deliverable, represent clients in business-development, fundraising, advocacy, or institutional-adoption outreach, or guarantee adoption, system-card or model-card inclusion, publication, procurement, funding, partnership, policy, regulatory, or other third-party decisions.

When this site or a proposal refers to strategy, positioning, decision support, adoption pathways, converting interest into formal adoption, or placing evidence before decision-makers, it means equipping the client with analysis, evidence, decision pathways, audience-specific materials, and implementation support for the client's own use. Clients use that work through their own relationships and channels. These terms do not promise access to, introductions to, representation before, or action by any third party. Clients retain responsibility for their own outreach and relationship management; third parties retain their own decisions.

Intellectual property

Unless otherwise stated, website text, design, diagrams, interfaces, product names, product descriptions, workflows, research products, taxonomies, software concepts, and related materials are owned by Syntony Research LLC, doing business publicly as Syntony, or used with permission. Syntony, Resonance, GovTune AI, and related product names and materials may be trademarks, service marks, or proprietary materials of Syntony Research LLC.

Public previews are illustrative. They do not grant rights to copy, reproduce, commercialize, reverse engineer, adapt, scrape, train on, or create derivative products from Syntony materials, interfaces, diagrams, workflows, or product concepts. You may link to public pages and quote short excerpts with attribution. Other use requires prior written permission.

Open-source challenge toolkit

Separately published open-source licenses govern the code they identify. The Close the Loop toolkit may be copied, forked, modified, and used under its MIT license. The public-preview restrictions above do not override that license. Syntony names, logos, and brand assets remain separate; model and hosting providers retain their own terms.

Free downloads: Syntony Free Tools License

Rubato, Sotto Voce, Caesura, Continuo, Fermata, Attacca and the Control Case Harness are licensed by Syntony Research LLC under the Syntony Free Tools License 1.0. The full text is included with each download and governs it. In short:

• You may download, install, run, copy and modify them for your own use or within your organization, including for commercial work, at no charge.
• You may not sell, rent or sublicense them, or distribute them or modified versions outside your organization. Share a link to our download page instead.
• Keep the copyright, license and attribution notices. Do not use Syntony names or logos to suggest we endorse you or your results, or present results from a modified version as results from our tools.
• You own the data you give them and the outputs they produce for you. They run on your systems, and Syntony does not receive either.
• They are provided "as is", without warranty. They are checks you run. They do not certify compliance, safety or security.

The public-preview restrictions above do not override this license for the software it covers. Fonts and other components included under their own licenses remain under those licenses.

No warranty

The site is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind. We do not guarantee that the site will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free from harmful components.

Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Syntony Research LLC is not liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages arising from use of this website.
