Terms of use

Clear terms for using Black Scarab.

These terms govern access to the Black Scarab website, publications, forms, feeds, and connector services. By using these services, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use them.

Informational purpose

Black Scarab publishes independent news, research, analysis, and educational material about physical AI, local AI, robotics, industrial technology, and related markets. The content is provided for general information and does not constitute investment, legal, tax, accounting, engineering, safety, medical, or other professional advice. You remain responsible for verifying information and obtaining qualified advice before making a decision.

Editorial information and sources

Black Scarab aims to distinguish verified facts, company statements, outside reporting, analysis, and hypothetical examples. Sources, specifications, prices, availability, customer relationships, and market conditions can change. Publication does not guarantee that information is complete, current, or free from error.

AI and connector services

A Black Scarab connector may help users discover relevant publications by returning limited previews, publication metadata, and links to complete reports on this website. Connector results may be selected, summarized, or presented by a third party AI service and may be incomplete or out of date. The complete publication at its canonical Black Scarab URL is the controlling version of Black Scarab content.

Third party AI platforms operate under their own terms and privacy policies. Black Scarab does not control their interfaces, generated responses, availability, or handling of information submitted directly to them.

Intellectual property and permitted use

Unless otherwise identified, Black Scarab owns its original articles, analysis, illustrations, site design, and branding. You may access and share links to public pages for lawful personal, educational, or internal business use. You may not reproduce, republish, sell, license, systematically extract, or create a substitute publication from Black Scarab content without written permission.

Automated indexing that follows the published robots instructions is permitted. Bulk downloading, bypassing technical restrictions, or using Black Scarab content to build datasets or train models requires prior written permission. Third party names, marks, images, and quoted material remain the property of their respective owners.

Acceptable use

You may not misuse the website, forms, feeds, or connector services; interfere with their operation; attempt unauthorized access; submit unlawful or harmful material; impersonate another person; or use the services in a way that infringes the rights of Black Scarab or others.

External links and services

Black Scarab links to source materials and third party services for reference and context. A link does not imply endorsement, control, or responsibility for the linked content, security, availability, products, or practices. Your use of a third party service is governed by that provider's terms.

Availability and changes

Black Scarab may update, correct, remove, suspend, or discontinue content or services at any time. Access may be interrupted by maintenance, technical problems, provider changes, or events outside Black Scarab's control.

Disclaimers and limitation of liability

The website, publications, feeds, and connector services are provided as available without guarantees of accuracy, availability, fitness for a particular purpose, or noninfringement. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Black Scarab LLC and its representatives will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from use of, or reliance on, the services or content.

Privacy
