Notice
Terms
Plain-language terms. Not a substitute for legal advice. Living document — changes go through the platform's own pending-changes process with a public delay window.
What GROUNDWORK is
Governance and legibility infrastructure for collective institutions. A coordination layer. A public record. Nothing more.
What GROUNDWORK is not
- A custodian of funds.
- An investment broker.
- A guarantor of any initiative's outcome or competence.
- A political endorsement.
- A surveillance identity system.
The public-record contract
By using GROUNDWORK to organize, review, govern, or pledge, you accept that decisions you make in those institutional roles are permanently attributed to your account on the public record. This is not optional — it is the entire mechanism of the platform.
Acceptable use
No fraud, no impersonation, no fabricated governance claims, no weaponized reporting, no coordinated manipulation. Violations are decided in public via the manipulation reports system.
No warranty
The platform is provided as-is, in public draft. Verification reduces fraud risk but does not eliminate it. You are responsible for your own due diligence before pledging.
