These Terms of Use ("Terms") are a contract between you and SwayForm LLC ("SwayForm," "we," "us," or "our") governing use of the SwayForm website (swayform.net) and the Learning Portal (learning.swayform.net). Please also review our Privacy Policy, Student & Children's Privacy Notice, and Robot Safety and Acceptable Use Policy, which are incorporated into these Terms by reference.
On this page
The website and Learning Portal are provided to help schools, instructors, and students evaluate and learn to use the SwayForm robot platform. You may use the free Learning Portal content for classroom instruction, personal learning, and program evaluation.
This website does not process purchases, payments, or checkout. Pricing and purchasing are handled directly through our sales team — see Contact Sales.
We try to keep product, curriculum, and technical information accurate and clearly label planned versus available features. Specifications, pricing, and timelines are subject to change before commercial release, particularly for a platform still in pilot development. We do not guarantee any particular educational outcome (such as grades, test scores, certification, or admissions results) from using SwayForm products.
SwayForm's website content, Model S1 hardware designs, software, ROS 2 integration code we provide, curriculum materials, simulations, documentation, and trademarks are owned by SwayForm (or our licensors) and are provided for educational use by schools and their students. You may use, print, and adapt Learning Portal curriculum materials for instruction within your own school's SwayForm program, but you may not redistribute, resell, or repackage them outside your school or for a commercial purpose without our written permission.
You (or, for a student, your school on the student's behalf, consistent with school policy) own the original code, programs, and content you create using the Learning Portal editor or on S1 hardware ("Your Content"). SwayForm does not claim ownership of Your Content.
While you are writing and editing Your Content in the Learning Portal, it is stored locally in your browser and is not transmitted to or stored on SwayForm's servers. When you submit Your Content to run on physical S1 hardware through the "Run on Robot" approval queue, SwayForm stores the submitted program and its execution output on our servers only for as long as needed to process the approval, run it, and keep a short operational history — see the Data Retention & Deletion Policy for exactly how long. SwayForm only takes the limited rights necessary to receive, queue, execute, display, and (for that limited period) retain Your Content for this purpose, and does not use it for any other purpose. You and your school remain responsible for keeping your own copies of Your Content.
You agree not to:
Physical operation of S1 is governed by the Robot Safety and Acceptable Use Policy, which takes precedence for anything related to safe and acceptable operation of the hardware. SwayForm is not responsible for damage, injury, or malfunction resulting from unauthorized hardware modification, removed or bypassed safety limits, unapproved firmware, third-party power supplies not specified by SwayForm, or use of S1 outside the documented operating conditions.
SwayForm warrants that, under normal educational use and following the documented operating conditions, S1 hardware purchased directly from SwayForm will be free from material defects in materials and workmanship for sixty (60) days from the date of delivery (the "Warranty Period"). If a covered defect appears during the Warranty Period, SwayForm will, at its option and as your sole and exclusive remedy, repair the affected component, replace it, or issue a refund for the affected unit.
This warranty does not cover damage caused by misuse, accident, unauthorized modification, unapproved firmware, removed or bypassed safety limits, normal wear (including 3D-printed parts intended to be periodically replaced through the Repair program), or third-party power supplies not specified by SwayForm.
This limited warranty is the only warranty SwayForm provides for S1 hardware and replaces all other warranties, express or implied, including the implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose, to the maximum extent permitted by law. The website and Learning Portal are provided "as is" during this pilot-development stage.
Formal purchase-agreement warranty terms (for institutional buyers) are finalized with our sales team as part of your purchase agreement — see For Schools.
The website and Learning Portal depend on third-party services, including Google (sign-in), our hosting and database providers, and our contact-form provider (see the Privacy Policy for the current list). We are not responsible for outages or changes in those services that are outside our control.
We do not guarantee the website or Learning Portal will be available at all times. We may suspend access for maintenance, security incidents, or issues with a third-party service described above. Features labeled as beta, preview, or experimental may be incomplete, may change, and may be discontinued at any time; we will label them as such rather than presenting an unfinished feature as a finished one.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, SwayForm will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost data, business interruption, or loss of educational time, arising out of or relating to these Terms or your use of the website, Learning Portal, or S1 hardware.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, SwayForm's total aggregate liability arising out of or relating to these Terms will not exceed the fees you or your school paid to SwayForm for the applicable product or service during the twelve (12) months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or, if no fees were paid (including free website or Learning Portal use), one hundred dollars ($100).
Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited under applicable law, including liability for death, personal injury, or property damage caused by SwayForm's willful misconduct or gross negligence, or liability arising under applicable product-liability law for a defective product.
We may suspend or terminate access to the website or Learning Portal where reasonably necessary because of a security threat, unsafe robot use, suspected violation of law or these Terms, non-payment under a separate purchase agreement, or risk to other schools or users. Where your school has a separate signed agreement with SwayForm, that agreement's termination and data-return terms control; otherwise, upon termination of an account, associated data will be handled as described in the Data Retention & Deletion Policy.
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Georgia, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms that is not resolved informally will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in DeKalb County, Georgia, and you consent to personal jurisdiction there. These Terms do not require arbitration or waive your right to bring a claim in court.
We will update the version number and "Last updated" date at the top of this page whenever these Terms change, and will provide advance notice of material changes (for example, to school administrators on file) before the change takes effect where practical. Continued use of the website or Learning Portal after a change takes effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
Questions about these Terms can be sent to contact@swayform.net. SwayForm LLC is based in Atlanta, Georgia.
