Acceptable Use & P2P Participation

Contribution only occurs while the node is enabled. You choose to participate, and you can withdraw that consent at any time (see section 7). Without your consent, no resources are contributed.

By running a node, you acknowledge that contribution consumes resources you pay for:

Electricity consumed by keeping the device on and processing tasks.

Internet bandwidth and data — on metered or mobile-data connections this may incur charges from your provider. By default the node is intended to run on Wi-Fi and while charging.

Device wear from sustained background operation.

The node limits bandwidth use to a configurable share of your available connection (default: 20%). Lucky North Star LLC is not responsible for any electricity, data, connectivity, or hardware costs arising from your participation. You are responsible for monitoring your own usage and adjusting or disabling the node accordingly.

The work your node performs consists of encrypted content fragments belonging to the MVN library and sandboxed compute / inference tasks for the network. Your node does not store, and cannot access, the decrypted content of other users, runs every task in an isolated sandbox that cannot reach your personal files, and no personal data of other members is transmitted through your device.

Because this traffic is encrypted MVN network data only, you are not the author or controller of the fragments or tasks routed through your node and are not liable for them, provided you use the node as intended and do not attempt to interfere with it.

To protect the integrity and decentralization of the network, a maximum of 5 active nodes per user account is permitted. You must not operate bots, scripts, emulators, falsified telemetry, or fake nodes, nor otherwise attempt to manipulate the credit system or the network's scoring.

When using the Platform or the P2P network, you must not:

• use the network to transmit, store, or facilitate any illegal content or illegal traffic;
• attempt to decrypt, intercept, or access data belonging to other users;
• conduct denial-of-service attacks, overload the network, or inject unauthorized content;
• reverse engineer, tamper with, or circumvent the node software or its limits (see the [EULA](/eula));
• scrape, harvest, or extract Platform content without written authorization;
• impersonate other nodes or users, or use the network to harm, defraud, or harass others.

You may disable your participation in the P2P network at any time from your account settings ("P2P Network" section). Deactivation takes effect immediately, without penalty and without loss of credits already earned. You may re-enable participation later.

We may suspend or terminate your access to the P2P network, your account, or both, with or without notice depending on severity, if you breach this policy or use the network in a way that threatens its integrity, security, or other users.

The P2P network is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranty of any kind. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Lucky North Star LLC shall not be liable for damages arising from your participation, including connection costs, device impact, or service interruptions, except where such limitation is prohibited by mandatory law.

This policy is governed by the laws of the State of Wyoming, United States, without prejudice to the mandatory protections of your country of residence. Questions: legal contact form.
