Terms of Use · Website and research previews

Terms of Use.

Use this website with care.

These terms apply to the Kinesema Labs website and its current public materials and research previews. They explain what the site provides, what it does not establish, and how visitors may use it.

Last updated: 20 September 2026. Read this page together with the Privacy Notice and Accessibility page.

Scope and acceptance.

These terms cover kinesema.com, Kinesema, Kinesema Atlas and the current Ask Atlas interface, Docs, Notes, public demonstrations, research previews, contact paths, and original public materials provided through the site.

By accessing or using the website, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, do not use the website or its research previews.

The current site does not offer paid services, subscriptions, user accounts, public uploads, or a production sign-language translation service. Any later paid pilot, account, upload, API, subscription, or enterprise service will require a separate review and may require additional terms or an agreement.

Research previews and important limitations.

Kinesema

Kinesema is an early research system in private development. It is not an interpreter, official translation service, teacher, or linguistic authority. Its current analysis and candidate output may be incomplete, unsuitable, or incorrect and remain subject to human review.

Kinesema does not replace Deaf people, signers, interpreters, educators, qualified language specialists, or community review. Do not treat an output as accepted Singapore Sign Language or official communication merely because the interface produced it.

Kinesema Atlas and Ask Atlas

Kinesema Atlas is a curated knowledge explorer, not a universal authority. Sources, visible provenance, review labels, and connected records support inspection; they do not guarantee that every record, relationship, interpretation, or conclusion is complete, current, or correct.

Ask Atlas currently does not submit questions or generate answers. If answer generation is enabled later, generated explanations may be incomplete, uncertain, or wrong. Visitors should inspect the cited sources, limitations, and underlying public records.

Do not rely on Kinesema, Atlas, or other research previews for emergency, medical, legal, financial, safety-critical, official, or other high-impact decisions. Seek appropriately qualified human help.

Acceptable use.

When using this website and its research previews, do not:

  • Interfere with the website, bypass security or access controls, probe private systems, or overload the services.
  • Misrepresent a prototype output as official, verified, accepted, or human-approved when it is not.
  • Use Kinesema or Atlas to impersonate an interpreter, educator, Deaf community authority, professional adviser, or Kinesema Labs.
  • Submit material that is unlawful, malicious, confidential, sensitive, or that you do not have permission to share.
  • Knowingly present Kinesema or Atlas output as suitable for emergency, medical, legal, financial, safety-critical, official, or other high-impact decisions.
  • Use the website to harass, deceive, spam, exploit, or harm another person or community.

Questions, feedback, and contributions.

If you send an ordinary question, access concern, correction, or other feedback, you permit Kinesema Labs to receive, read, respond to, and consider it. Product suggestions may be considered without any promise that they will be adopted, credited, or compensated.

You retain ownership of original material you submit. Sending an SgSL example or correction, linguistic or cultural explanation, image, video, recording, personal access experience, or other community material does not by itself give Kinesema Labs permission to publish it, use it for AI training or dataset creation, redistribute it, use it commercially, or identify you publicly. Those uses require separate, explicit permission.

Submit only material that you have the right to share. Do not send confidential information, unnecessary personal data, or sensitive content through a prototype input. If a contribution needs special handling, explain that before sending the material.

Kinesema Labs does not claim ownership over Singapore Sign Language, Deaf culture, signs created and used by communities, or community knowledge.

Intellectual property and open source.

Open-source materials

Code and original documentation in the public viasign-parser repository are provided under the repository’s Apache License 2.0. The repository retains its historical ViaSign name; the current public product is called Kinesema. Always follow the exact licence and notices included with the material you use.

Site content and branding

Except where another owner or licence is identified, original site text, visual identity, graphics, designs, and documentation are owned or controlled by the operator, subject to applicable law. You may link to public pages and refer to the projects accurately. Do not present Kinesema Labs materials or identity as your own or imply endorsement, partnership, or official approval that does not exist.

The site does not claim that the Kinesema or Kinesema Labs names are registered trade marks unless that is stated explicitly.

Language, community, and third-party material

Open-source and site-content rights do not create ownership of SgSL, signs used by communities, Deaf culture, general linguistic knowledge, personal data, recordings, or material owned by another person. Third-party material remains subject to its own rights, licences, permissions, and attribution requirements.

Privacy and third-party services.

The Privacy Notice explains what information may be processed through the website and contact paths. The interactive sentence parser is no longer available. Do not submit personal or sensitive information unless it is necessary and you understand the stated use.

The website depends on hosting, infrastructure, source-hosting, email, security, and linked third-party services. Those providers and external sites may apply their own terms and privacy practices. A link does not mean that Kinesema Labs controls or endorses the external service or all of its content.

Privacy and data-protection questions may be sent to weixian@kinesema.com.

Availability, warranties, and liability.

The website and research previews are provided on an “as available” basis. Features, explanations, outputs, sources, routes, and project directions may be corrected, changed, interrupted, restricted, or removed without notice.

Kinesema Labs does not promise that every feature, explanation, output, source, or external link will always be accurate, complete, current, uninterrupted, secure, or suitable for a particular purpose. Visitors remain responsible for checking relevant evidence and obtaining qualified help before acting on important information.

Nothing in these terms excludes or restricts liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or restricted.

Changes and contact.

These terms may be updated when the website, research previews, operator details, or applicable requirements change. The date at the top identifies the current version. Continued use after an update is subject to the revised terms.

Kinesema Labs operates from Singapore. Paid services, commercial pilots, accounts, uploads, APIs, subscriptions, or enterprise deployments will require separate service terms or agreements rather than silently expanding this public research page.

For questions about these terms, permissions, accessibility, privacy, or responsible use, email weixian@kinesema.com or use the Contact page.
