Registry Terms of Use

Terms for the public transparency log at registry.attestlayer.com.

These terms govern registry.attestlayer.com only. Commercial orders, buyer accounts, partner programs, and the verification surface are governed by their own site-specific terms or written agreements.

Service scope

The Registry is a public transparency surface that publishes checkpoints, proofs, public keys, and public-safe verification material. It is read-only and unauthenticated for general public access.

  • The Registry helps reviewers verify existence, continuity, and trust material.
  • It does not certify legal compliance, provide audit opinions, or replace your own diligence.
  • Accessing the Registry does not by itself create a paid service relationship.

Permitted use

  • Use the Registry for lawful review, transparency, monitoring, and verification purposes.
  • Do not attack, degrade, or scrape the service in a way that bypasses normal public access patterns or harms availability.
  • Do not misrepresent registry output as a certification, legal opinion, or AttestLayer endorsement beyond what the published proofs actually show.
  • Do not use the Registry to infer hidden customer identities from public commitments.

Availability, disclaimers, and liability

The Registry is provided on an as-is and as-available basis. AttestLayer may harden, rate-limit, suspend, or modify public access to protect integrity, availability, security, or legal compliance.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, AttestLayer disclaims implied warranties and is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or exemplary damages arising from use of the Registry. Any direct liability relating only to Registry access is limited to the amount you paid specifically for Registry access during the 12 months before the claim, which is ordinarily zero because the public registry is available without a separate fee.

Governing law and contact

These terms are governed by the laws of Quebec and the federal laws of Canada applicable there, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Unless mandatory law requires otherwise, disputes relating only to Registry access will be brought in Montreal, Quebec.

Questions can be sent to contact@attestlayer.com.

Registry is a public read-only transparency surface. It is not a checkout, subscription, or customer account portal.

Additional legal provisions

Warranty disclaimer. To the maximum extent permitted by law, the registry.attestlayer.com surface, its public registry workflows, manifests, receipts, signed material, and related public material are provided on an as-is and as-available basis. AttestLayer disclaims all warranties, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, accuracy, completeness, uninterrupted availability, and any warranty that the service or its output will satisfy a specific buyer, procurement, security, audit, certification, insurance, regulator, payment, or legal outcome. AttestLayer outputs are evidence packages, not audit opinions, certifications, legal conclusions, or approval decisions.

No emergency reliance. The registry.attestlayer.com surface is not designed for, and must not be relied on as, an emergency, life-safety, medical, fraud-prevention, regulatory-filing, or time-critical compliance system. Counterparties and downstream parties must use appropriate emergency, regulatory, legal, financial, medical, or security channels for time-critical or safety-critical matters.

Supplemental terms

No warranty

The Registry surface, its endpoints, manifests, checkpoints, signed material, JWKS, sample data, and download artifacts are provided on an as-is and as-available basis. AttestLayer disclaims all warranties, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, accuracy, completeness, uninterrupted availability, freedom from error, and any warranty that registry output will satisfy a specific buyer, audit, security, certification, insurance, regulator, or legal outcome.

Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, AttestLayer, its affiliates, directors, employees, contractors, and licensors shall not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, revenues, data, goodwill, or business opportunities, arising from or connected to use of the Registry. The aggregate liability of AttestLayer for any claim related to the Registry is capped at the amounts (if any) paid by the claimant to AttestLayer for the Registry surface in the twelve (12) months preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or one hundred Canadian dollars (CAD $100) if no such amount was paid.

No registry uptime guarantee unless signed

AttestLayer makes no service-level commitment or uptime guarantee for any Registry endpoint, page, or download artifact unless a separately signed written agreement between AttestLayer and the relying party expressly states such a commitment. Status pages, observed availability, historical trends, and informational notices do not constitute a commitment.

No legal reliance

Registry content is evidence material, not legal advice, regulatory determination, audit opinion, certification, insurance underwriting, or fitness statement. Counterparties must obtain their own legal, regulatory, compliance, audit, security, and insurance advice before relying on Registry content for a decision.

Acceptable use and abuse restrictions

Use of the Registry is permitted only for verifying AttestLayer-issued packets, checkpoints, keys, receipts, and related metadata. Users must not: (a) submit automated traffic that materially degrades availability for other users; (b) attempt to forge, alter, or impersonate Registry signatures; (c) reuse Registry content to imply certification, endorsement, mandate, or approval that AttestLayer did not make; (d) scrape personal data and re-identify individuals from public metadata; (e) use the Registry to facilitate sanctions evasion, fraud, illegal activity, or violation of applicable export controls.

No compliance or certification meaning

Registry inclusion is not a compliance attestation, certification, accreditation, audit pass, regulator approval, insurer determination, or industry endorsement. Registry inclusion only means that a packet, key, receipt, checkpoint, or metadata item is discoverable or verifiable according to the Registry Policy.

Force majeure

AttestLayer is not liable for delay or failure to perform Registry operations caused by events beyond reasonable control, including acts of God, war, terrorism, civil unrest, labour disputes, government action, sanctions, internet or upstream cloud provider outages, denial-of-service attacks, cryptographic or hardware supply compromise outside AttestLayer custody, and natural disasters.

Governing law and venue

These supplemental terms are governed by the laws of the Province of Quebec and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. The exclusive venue for disputes is the courts sitting in Montreal, Quebec, subject to applicable mandatory consumer protection law.

Order of precedence

If there is any conflict between these supplemental terms and a separately signed written agreement between AttestLayer and the relying party covering the same subject matter, the signed agreement controls. Otherwise these supplemental terms control over any informational page on the Registry surface.
