These terms govern use of the starlens certified image-compression service (the "Service"), operated by Stardata (Cody Lee Walker, Canada).
starlens accepts image(s) and returns a compressed image plus a sealed certificate. The certificate is a measurement — a deterministic witness, calibrated against real vision models, indicating that the compressed image preserves the reader-relevant content up to a stated tolerance. It is strong, re-verifiable evidence, not an absolute warranty: it does not guarantee that every downstream model on every prompt returns a byte-identical answer. Use it as the signal it is.
You retain all rights in the images you submit. Stardata retains all rights in the hosted Service, the certificate method, and the site. The underlying compression engine is open source under its published license; these terms cover the hosted Service.
The Service is provided "as is", without warranties of any kind. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Stardata's total liability arising from the Service is limited to the fees you paid for the Service in the three months preceding the claim.
Either party may stop using or providing the Service at any time. Provisions on intellectual property, disclaimers, and liability survive.
These terms are governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and the applicable laws of Canada.
We may update these terms; material changes will be posted here with a new effective date. Questions: cody@stardata.foundation.
