DRAFT — for Armored Gate / counsel review and approval before use. Not legal advice.

Entity (Armored Gate LLC) and governing law (United States, State of Oklahoma) are
confirmed final by Karl. Any monetary/warranty terms and dispute-resolution posture
remain marked [CONFIRM] and must be settled by Karl / counsel. This EULA covers *use
of the app*; the specific device-contribution relationship (consent, payouts, revocation,
tax) is in contributor-agreement.md, which is incorporated by reference.

Effective date: [CONFIRM] Operator: Armored Gate, LLC ("Armored Gate," "we," "us") App: ACE Micro Cloud, Google Play package com.armoredgate.cloud

By downloading, installing, or using ACE Micro Cloud (the "App"), you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the App.

1. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old and able to form a binding contract. The App is not directed to children. For payouts you must also meet Stripe's identity and eligibility requirements.

2. The service & license

Armored Gate; the App and service are provided by Armored Gate. All intellectual property remains with its owners. This license grants you no ownership.

workload type, at any time.

3. Your account and devices

and for activity on your account and enrolled devices.

4. The contribution relationship

Your participation as a contributor — informed consent to run third-party workloads, resource impact, Wi-Fi-only default and cellular opt-in, revocation, compensation, and your legal status — is governed by the contributor-agreement.md, incorporated here by reference. In case of conflict on those subjects, the Contributor Agreement controls.

5. Acceptable use

You agree not to, and not to permit anyone to:

the App or its workload sandbox, governor, attestation, or metering

time-dilation, replay, Sybil/farming), or interfere with anti-fraud controls

runs or the data they process (see the invisibility design)

use the App to attack, overload, or gain unauthorized access to any system or network

sanction, or export control

We may suspend or terminate accounts, withhold unpaid amounts associated with fraud, and report unlawful activity.

6. Workloads run only under our control

The App runs only signed, attested workloads dispatched by the ACE Cloud control plane, executed in a sandbox with resource limits. You acknowledge that workloads are third-party and that Armored Gate does not guarantee any particular workload will be available or scheduled to your device.

7. Compensation

If you enroll for cash compensation, payouts are handled per the Contributor Agreement and Stripe's terms. If you participate in a community/non-monetary pool, compensation (if any) is as described for that pool (e.g. credits, recognition). We may change rates prospectively with notice; existing terms are honored per our published grandfathering practice [CONFIRM]. Nothing here guarantees any minimum earnings.

8. Third-party services

The App relies on third parties including Google/Firebase (push messaging) and Stripe (payouts). Your use of those is subject to their terms and privacy policies. We are not responsible for third-party services.

9. Disclaimers — no warranty

The App and service are provided "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE," without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement, to the maximum extent permitted by law. We do not warrant that the App will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure, or that participation will produce any earnings.

Device impact. Running workloads uses battery, data, storage, and causes normal device wear and heat. Although the governor is designed to protect your device (battery floors, thermal limits, Wi-Fi-only default), you run the App on your own device at your own risk, and we do not warrant against battery wear, data usage, thermal effects, or device damage. See the Contributor Agreement for the detailed device-impact acknowledgment.

10. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Armored Gate and its licensors (including PARCS) will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, data, goodwill, or device damage/wear/data overage, arising from or related to the App or service. Our total aggregate liability for any claim will not exceed the greater of (a) the total amounts we paid you in the [CONFIRM — e.g. 12] months before the claim, or (b) US$[CONFIRM — e.g. 100]. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations; those limitations apply only to the extent permitted.

11. Indemnity

You will indemnify and hold harmless Armored Gate and its licensors from claims arising out of your misuse of the App, your violation of these Terms or law, or your enrollment of devices you were not authorized to enroll. [CONFIRM scope with counsel — often limited/ removed for pure consumer apps.]

12. Termination

legal requirement, or discontinuation of the service. Earned, verified, non-fraudulent amounts above the payout minimum remain payable per the Contributor Agreement.

13. Governing law & disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Oklahoma, United States, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. [CONFIRM dispute-resolution posture — venue, and whether to include arbitration / class-action-waiver. Consumer arbitration clauses have specific enforceability requirements; counsel must decide.]

14. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms; we will post the updated version and, for material changes, surface notice in-app. Continued use after changes means acceptance.

15. Google Play

You acknowledge these Terms are between you and Armored Gate, not Google. Google is not responsible for the App or these Terms. This EULA does not diminish any rights you have under Google Play's terms.

16. Miscellaneous

Entire agreement (with the Contributor Agreement and Privacy Policy); severability; no waiver; assignment by us permitted; no third-party beneficiaries except our licensors.
