These terms
These Terms of Service govern your use of applied.bot, its configuration tools, and account services. The operator is Applied Robotics Company (Applied, we, us). Contact contact@applied.bot.
By creating an account or using an interactive service, you agree to these terms to the extent a binding agreement can lawfully be formed. A paid reservation requires separate acceptance of the Pre-Order Agreement. The Privacy Policy describes information handling and is not a waiver of your privacy rights.
Applied Robotics Company is the storefront brand of Bolte Machine Company, the seller and Stripe merchant responsible for your reservation, payment, and refund. Your payment statement may show BOLTE MACHINE COMPANY. Contact contact@applied.bot for account, payment, or privacy requests.
Eligibility
Accounts and reservations are for people at least 18 who can form a contract. If acting for an organization, you must have authority to bind it. Use accurate information and comply with laws that apply to you.
Initial reservation and delivery planning is for the United States. Website access does not mean a product or service is offered or supported in your location. We may decline transactions that cannot lawfully or practicably be supported.
Accounts and security
You are responsible for keeping your account details current and taking reasonable care of your credentials. Do not share access, impersonate another person, or use someone else's payment details without authority. Notify contact@applied.bot promptly if you suspect unauthorized access.
You remain responsible for activity you authorize; this does not make you automatically responsible for activity caused by our security failure or otherwise override applicable law. We may require verification or temporarily restrict access when reasonably necessary to protect an account or investigate abuse.
Website and configuration tools
The website introduces Model A and records configuration preferences. Renderings, animations, wireframes, colors, interfaces, and illustrative actions show design intent. Screen appearance varies, and an animation is not a verified demonstration of physical performance.
A selected name or personality is a preference for a prospective software experience. It does not guarantee sentience, emotions, reliable judgment, task performance, autonomous operation, or a particular relationship. Do not use website content as medical, legal, financial, emergency, or safety-critical advice.
Reservations and payments
A Model A reservation requires a $100 refundable deposit, credited toward the agreed purchase price: $5,900 base, plus selected compute upgrades. Deliveries start September 2027, first come, first served. The Pre-Order Agreement governs your reservation.
Stripe processes checkout for Applied Robotics Company. A reservation is paid only after a verified successful payment notification is recorded. Your account provides status and a reservation identifier. The Pre-Order Agreement controls deposit refunds and cancellations; these website terms do not reduce those rights.
No balance payment or subscription is authorized solely by visiting the website or reserving a robot. Any future purchase requires a separate offer, disclosures, acceptance, and payment authorization.
Our content
We and our licensors retain rights in website code, design, text, graphics, models, trademarks, and other content. We grant you a limited, nonexclusive right to use the site and configuration tools for their intended purpose and to keep a personal copy of your own reservation records.
Do not represent our marks or concept imagery as your own product, remove ownership notices, or redistribute protected content without permission, except as allowed by law or an applicable third-party license. Rights in supplier and open-source materials remain with their owners; these terms do not replace or narrow licenses that separately apply.
Your submissions
You retain rights in text you submit. You give us the permission reasonably necessary to store, display to you, moderate, and use configuration preferences and support submissions to provide the service and evaluate or fulfill your reservation. This does not transfer ownership of your private communications or authorize their disclosure to advertising platforms.
Submit only information you have permission to provide. Do not include confidential third-party material, sensitive personal data, unlawful content, or instructions that violate another person's rights. If you voluntarily send product feedback, you permit us to use that feedback without an obligation to compensate you; this does not grant rights to unrelated intellectual property or waive confidentiality we expressly agreed to.
Acceptable use
Do not attempt to bypass authentication, access another person's records, exploit vulnerabilities, interfere with the service, distribute malware, submit fraudulent payments, manipulate reservations, or evade reasonable abuse controls. Do not harvest personal information, conduct deceptive automated account creation, or scrape restricted areas.
Nothing here prevents lawful security research conducted without unauthorized access or harm, reporting a vulnerability responsibly to contact@applied.bot, or exercising rights that cannot be limited by contract. Obtain written authorization before intrusive security testing.
Third-party services
Our service depends on infrastructure, authentication, payment, and other providers, including AWS and Stripe. External websites and providers are governed by their own applicable terms and privacy notices. We do not control their independent conduct.
We remain responsible for obligations that applicable law places on us, including applicable refund and consumer obligations. A third-party outage or processor delay does not erase a deposit you are entitled to recover.
Availability and changes
We may maintain, modify, limit, or discontinue website features for development, security, operational, or legal reasons. We aim to preserve access to reservation records and an effective support or refund channel during service changes. Do not rely on uninterrupted access for a critical purpose.
We may correct errors and update product information. We will not silently increase an authorized deposit or materially reduce rights in an existing paid reservation. Material reservation changes are governed by the accepted Pre-Order Agreement and any legally required notice or consent.
Website information and statutory rights
To the extent permitted by law, the website and concept tools are provided as available, without a promise that every feature will be uninterrupted or every concept will reach production. We do not make a website warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or noninfringement beyond what applicable law requires.
This provision concerns the website and concept tools, not a waiver of a future robot warranty or nonwaivable consumer guarantees. Actual product warranty, returns, safety, and service terms will be disclosed before a final purchase. No statement here excludes a warranty or remedy that cannot legally be excluded.
Limits of liability
To the extent permitted by applicable law, we are not liable for indirect or consequential losses arising from website use, such as lost profits or loss of an expected business opportunity. For direct claims arising from these website terms, our aggregate liability is limited to the greater of $100 USD or the amount you paid us for the service giving rise to the claim during the preceding 12 months.
These limits do not limit an owed deposit refund, liability for fraud or intentional misconduct, gross negligence where it cannot lawfully be limited, death or personal injury where limitation is prohibited, statutory consumer remedies, or any other liability the law does not allow us to exclude or cap. Some jurisdictions do not allow these limitations; they apply only to the extent permitted there.
Restriction or termination
You may stop using the website and ask us to close your account. We may suspend or terminate access for a material breach, suspected fraud, a security risk, or a legal requirement, using proportionate measures. Where reasonably practicable and appropriate, we will explain and allow you to address the issue.
Closing or restricting an account does not automatically forfeit a deposit or eliminate an accrued refund right. Contact us to resolve an active reservation before account closure. Records required for accounting, disputes, or law may remain under the Privacy Policy. Provisions intended by their nature to survive, such as accrued payment rights and lawful liability limits, survive termination.
Disputes and applicable rights
Please contact contact@applied.bot with enough information to investigate a concern. We will try to resolve it in good faith. This process does not require you to give up a legal deadline, a payment dispute, a regulator complaint, or access to a competent court.
These terms do not impose mandatory arbitration, waive a jury trial, or waive a class action. Applicable law and any nonwaivable protections determine available remedies and jurisdiction. Nothing here removes mandatory protections of your place of residence.
Updates and interpretation
We will publish a version and effective date for changes and give additional notice or seek renewed acceptance where required. Changes apply prospectively. Continued use does not by itself replace the accepted payment or refund terms of an existing reservation.
If a provision is unenforceable, the remainder continues to the extent lawful. Not enforcing a provision immediately is not a waiver. The Pre-Order Agreement controls reservation-specific matters if it conflicts with these terms. There are no intended third-party beneficiaries except where a separate applicable license or law provides otherwise. Contact contact@applied.bot for questions or an accessible copy.
