Eligibility & Accounts

Mode Labs is not intended for use by children under the age of 13. By using the Service, you represent that you are at least 13 years old.

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activities that occur under your account. You agree to notify us immediately of any unauthorized access to or use of your account.

Description of Service

Mode Labs provides an operator app that allows users to log effort over time, attach receipts (such as photos, notes, and comments), track progress, and build an operator identity. The app is designed for builders who want to document their work and maintain accountability.

Mode Labs also offers physical products, including Archive 001 technical apparel and other artifacts. These products may be linked to your operator identity within the Mode Labs system.

User Content & Conduct

You are solely responsible for any content you submit to the Service, including logs, images, notes, and other materials ("User Content"). You represent that you have all necessary rights to submit such content and that it does not violate any laws or third-party rights.

You agree not to use the Service to:

  • Submit illegal, harmful, threatening, abusive, harassing, defamatory, or otherwise objectionable content
  • Impersonate any person or entity or misrepresent your affiliation with any person or entity
  • Attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Service or other users' accounts
  • Interfere with or disrupt the Service or servers or networks connected to the Service
  • Use the Service for any illegal or unauthorized purpose

We reserve the right to remove any User Content and suspend or terminate any account that violates these Terms or that we determine, in our sole discretion, is harmful to the Service or other users.

Disclaimers & Limitation of Liability

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT.

Mode Labs does not guarantee that the Service will be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free. We are not responsible for any decisions you make based on information or data provided by the Service.
