TERMS OF SERVICE
// THE SHORT VERSION
These Terms cover only the Obscura Vertex website, which you are free to browse, link to and quote with credit, and which search engines and AI assistants are welcome to crawl and index. Please do not attack or misuse the site, and ask before reusing our branding or assets. Nafs, our future products and any client work have their own terms, and sending us a brief does not make you a client, because a project only starts once we have both signed a written agreement.
01 // SYS.ID
Who we are
These Terms of Service (the "Terms") apply to the website at https://www.obscuravertex.com (the "site"), including every page on it. The site is run by Obscura Vertex Pte. Ltd., a private limited company incorporated in Singapore on 18 May 2026 (UEN 202622039R), with its registered address at 68 Circular Road, #02-01, Singapore 049422.
In these Terms, "we", "us" and "our" mean Obscura Vertex Pte. Ltd., and "you" means anyone who visits or uses the site.
We are an independent software and AI product studio. We build and run our own apps and AI products, and we also take on a few select client and partner projects.
These Terms take effect on 29 September 2026 and are published at https://www.obscuravertex.com/terms. If you have questions about them, email us at signal@obscuravertex.com.
02 // TLDR
Key points
This list, like the short version at the top of this page, is a quick guide. The full Terms below are what legally apply.
- The site is for information only. There are no accounts, logins or payments, and you can browse it free of charge.
- Please use the site lawfully. Do not attack it, overload it or misuse it.
- Search engines and AI assistants are welcome to crawl, index, summarise and quote the site.
- Our content, code, design, 3D models, name, logo and operative characters belong to us or are licensed to us. You can share links and quote short extracts (please credit us). Please ask before reusing our assets or branding.
- Nafs and any future products have their own terms. Client and partner work is covered by separate written agreements.
- Sending us a message or brief does not make you a client. Please do not send confidential information until we have both signed a non-disclosure agreement (NDA).
- Products described as "in development" or "classified" are previews, not promises.
- The site is provided "as is", and Singapore law applies.
03 // SCOPE
What these terms cover
By using the site, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.
Our Privacy Policy at https://www.obscuravertex.com/privacy explains how we handle personal data. It is a separate notice rather than part of these Terms, and we recommend reading it too.
These Terms cover this website only. They do not cover:
- Nafs, our iOS and Android app. Nafs is governed by its own terms at https://www.getnafs.com/terms/ and its own privacy policy at https://www.getnafs.com/privacy/, and those documents apply when you use the app.
- Any future products we release. Each will publish its own terms.
- Client and partner work. Any project we take on is governed by a separate written agreement. If that agreement conflicts with these Terms, the agreement applies to that project.
04 // ACCESS
Using the site
The site is a static, informational website about our studio and our work. It has no user accounts, logins, payments, comments or newsletter. You may view and browse it free of charge for any lawful purpose.
When using the site, you must not:
- use it in a way that breaks the law or infringes anyone else's rights
- attack or try to disrupt the site, for example through denial-of-service attacks or by introducing viruses, malware or other harmful code
- try to get around, disable or interfere with any security feature of the site or its hosting
- send automated requests (from bots, crawlers, scripts or any other tool) at a rate that could harm the site's performance or availability
- send us spam, or use the contact details on the site to send unsolicited bulk messages
- impersonate us, or suggest that you are connected with or endorsed by us when you are not
- frame the site inside another website, or present our content, design or branding as your own
Search engines and AI assistants are welcome. Our robots.txt file sets out the automated access we allow, and at present it allows all crawlers, including AI crawlers. We also publish https://www.obscuravertex.com/llms.txt for AI assistants. Crawling, indexing, summarising and quoting of the site that our robots.txt file allows is permitted and does not breach these Terms. We only ask that automated access stays at a reasonable rate so it does not overload or disrupt the site.
If you break these Terms, we may block or restrict your access to the site. We may also change, suspend or withdraw all or part of the site at any time.
05 // IP.RIGHTS
Our content and brand
The site and its content belong to us or are licensed to us. This includes the text, code, design and layout, images, 3D models and scenes (including the Singapore skyline scene), the Obscura Vertex name and logo, and our four operative characters, APEX, AXIOM, NEXUS and CIPHER, including their 3D busts.
You may:
- view the site, and print or save copies of pages (for example, as a PDF or screenshot) for your own reference, including sharing them within your organisation
- share links to any page of the site
- quote brief extracts of our text, as long as you credit Obscura Vertex and, where practical, link back to the page you quoted
These permissions are free of charge and non-exclusive, and they end if you break these Terms.
Unless we have given you written permission (email is fine), you may not copy, reuse, modify, distribute, sell or make derivative works from our assets or branding, including our 3D models, operative characters, logo, images, design or code. This does not stop your browser from loading the site's files in the normal way to display it, but you may not extract those files, such as our 3D model files, to use them separately.
None of this limits search engines, AI assistants or similar services. They may crawl, index, cache, summarise and quote the site as described in "Using the site", including showing our name, logo and images in their results. These restrictions also do not limit anything you are allowed to do under copyright law without our permission (such as fair use), or any automated access that our robots.txt file allows.
You are welcome to refer to us by name, for example when writing about our work. However, you may not use the Obscura Vertex name, logo or operative characters as your own branding, or in a way that suggests we endorse or are connected with you or your products.
Some parts of the site use third-party open-source components, such as the three.js library (under the MIT License) and the Orbitron, Exo 2 and Inter fonts (under the SIL Open Font License). These components belong to their respective owners and are used under their own licences. Nothing in these Terms limits any rights you have under those licences.
We do not grant you any rights in the site or its content other than those set out in these Terms or allowed by law.
06 // BRIEF.IN
Enquiries and briefs you send
Our contact form does not send anything by itself. When you press TRANSMIT, it opens a pre-filled email in your own mail app, addressed to signal@obscuravertex.com. Nothing is sent unless you press send in your mail app, and it then reaches us as a normal email. You can also email us directly at the same address.
Sending us an enquiry, brief or proposal does not create a client, partner or other business relationship, and it does not oblige either of us to do anything, other than what the law requires. An engagement only begins when we have both signed a written agreement, and its terms will be set out in that agreement.
Please do not send us confidential information until we have both signed a non-disclosure agreement (NDA). Until then, we do not agree to keep what you send confidential, and we do not accept any duty of confidentiality over it. This does not affect how we protect any personal data in your message. We handle that as described in our Privacy Policy at https://www.obscuravertex.com/privacy.
We build our own products. We may already be working on ideas similar to ones you send us, or may develop them independently later. So, unless we have both signed a written agreement that says otherwise, sending us an idea, suggestion or proposal does not create any obligation on us, such as a duty of confidentiality, payment or credit. It also does not stop us from developing, using or releasing similar products, features or ideas.
None of this gives us any right to publish or reuse the materials you send us, such as your documents, designs or code, and you keep any rights you have in them.
When you send us something, you confirm that you are entitled to share it, and that sharing it does not break any law or infringe anyone else's rights. If it includes personal data about someone else, such as a colleague's name or contact details, please make sure you are allowed to share it with us.
07 // DEV.BUILD
Products in development
The site describes some products as "in development" or "classified". These descriptions are early previews of work in progress. They are not offers, promises or commitments.
Names, features, designs, release dates and availability can change, and a product may be delayed or may not be released at all. Please do not rely on these descriptions when making decisions.
When we release a product, it will publish its own terms, and those terms will govern its use.
08 // EXT.LINK
Links to other sites
The site links to other websites and services, such as https://www.getnafs.com, the App Store and Google Play. Each has its own terms and privacy policy, and those apply when you use it. Please read them.
We do not control websites or services run by third parties, and we are not responsible for their content, availability or practices. A link to a third-party site does not mean we endorse it.
When you email us from your own mail app, or when you give us a Telegram handle or phone number and we reply there, those services handle the message under their own terms and policies.
09 // AS.IS
Disclaimers
The site is provided "as is" and "as available", for general information only.
Nothing on the site is professional advice of any kind, including legal, financial, technical or business advice. Please get your own advice before acting on anything you read here.
We try to keep the site accurate and working well, but we do not promise that it will always be available, uninterrupted, secure or free of errors, or that its content is complete, accurate or up to date. The site includes a 3D scene that may look or perform differently depending on your device and browser.
To the extent permitted by law, we exclude all warranties, conditions and other terms that might otherwise be implied into these Terms. This does not affect any rights you have that cannot be excluded or limited by law.
10 // LIABILITY
Limitation of liability
The site is free to use and is for information only. To the extent permitted by the laws of Singapore, we are not liable to you, whether in contract, in tort (including negligence) or otherwise, for:
- any indirect or consequential loss (meaning loss that does not flow directly and naturally from the problem in the ordinary course of things)
- any loss of profit, revenue, business, opportunity, goodwill or data
- any loss arising from your reliance on content on the site, including descriptions of products in development
- any loss caused by the site being unavailable or interrupted, or by errors on the site
- any loss caused by viruses or other harmful code that we could not reasonably have prevented
- any loss arising from websites or services run by third parties
Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for anything else that cannot be excluded or limited under Singapore law.
Where the Unfair Contract Terms Act requires an exclusion or limitation in these Terms to be reasonable, it applies only to the extent that it is reasonable. Each item in the list above is a separate limitation, so if one is found unenforceable, the others still apply.
This section applies whether or not these Terms form a contract between you and us. If you have a separate written agreement with us, the liability terms in that agreement apply to the work it covers.
11 // PATCH.NOTES
Changes to these terms
We may update these Terms from time to time, for example to reflect changes to the site, our products or the law. When we do, we will publish the new version on this page with a new effective date. The updated Terms apply from that date. Changes will not apply to anything that happened before they took effect.
The site has no user accounts or newsletter, so we do not notify visitors about changes individually. Please check this page from time to time. If you keep using the site after a change takes effect, you accept the updated Terms.
12 // LEGAL.MISC
General terms
- Severability: If a court finds any part of these Terms invalid or unenforceable, that part will be limited or removed only as far as necessary, and the rest of these Terms will stay in full effect.
- No waiver: If we do not enforce any part of these Terms straight away, or in a particular case, we have not given up our right to enforce it later.
- Third-party rights: A person who is not a party to these Terms has no right under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 2001 to enforce any of their terms.
- Whole agreement: These Terms are the whole agreement between you and us about your use of the site. Our Privacy Policy explains how we handle personal data. It is a notice, not part of this agreement. These Terms do not replace any separate written agreement you have or later sign with us (such as a non-disclosure agreement or a project agreement), or the terms of Nafs or any of our other products.
- Transfer: We may transfer our rights and obligations under these Terms to another organisation, for example if our business is reorganised. This will not reduce your rights under these Terms.
13 // LAW.SG
Governing law and disputes
These Terms, and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with them or the site, are governed by the laws of Singapore.
If you have a concern, please contact us first at signal@obscuravertex.com so we can try to resolve it informally. If we cannot resolve it, the courts of Singapore will have exclusive jurisdiction to settle the dispute. This does not stop either of us from applying to a court in another country for urgent relief, such as an order to stop an attack on the site or misuse of our content or branding, and it does not remove any right you may have under the law of the country where you live to bring a claim in your local courts.
