Website terms

These terms apply to the public informational website at bounder.io. By using the site, you agree to use it lawfully and responsibly.

Research status

Bounder presents research and open reference software concerning physical interlocks, drone geofencing, and trustworthy automation. Website descriptions, diagrams, tests, and examples are informational. They are not certification, operational approval, professional safety advice, or proof that a system is suitable for a particular physical deployment.

Physical safety

Do not connect Bounder code to aircraft, robots, industrial equipment, or other physical systems without appropriate expertise, authorization, simulation, hazard analysis, manufacturer safeguards, hardware-in-the-loop testing, emergency procedures, and compliance with applicable law. You remain responsible for any system you build or operate.

Open-source code

Source code linked from this site is governed by the licence included in its repository. Bounder is licensed under the Apache License 2.0, including its patent, attribution, and warranty provisions. If website text conflicts with a repository licence, the repository licence governs the code.

Accuracy and availability

We aim to label verified and unverified claims clearly. The project remains in development, and information may be incomplete, outdated, or changed without notice. The site and linked materials may be unavailable at times.

Acceptable use

Do not use the site or project to interfere with systems you do not own or control, evade aviation or safety rules, endanger people or property, probe public infrastructure without permission, submit malicious material, or misrepresent research software as certified.

Third-party services

Links and integrations may involve GitHub, Formspree, METTLE, Creed Space, VCP, ArduPilot, or other third parties. Those services have their own terms, licences, and privacy practices. A link does not guarantee availability, endorsement, or compatibility.

Intellectual property

Except for material provided under an identified open licence or owned by a third party, the website’s original text and presentation remain the property of their respective owners. “Bounder” and associated branding may not be used to imply endorsement or certification.

Governing law

These website terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Courts with applicable jurisdiction in England and Wales may hear disputes, subject to any mandatory rights that apply to you.
