Terms of Use

1. What Signal Bureau is

Signal Bureau™ is an information service: it reads across the open information environment — news, public data, and prediction-market prices, which we cite and grade — and helps you understand what’s happening and why. It is provided for informational purposes only.

1a. Two tiers of service (added July 22, 2026)

Signal Bureau is offered two ways. The public service — this site, the public Answer Engine, and the open API and MCP tools — runs under these standard terms. Contracted private desks run under separately negotiated terms covering confidentiality, data use, retention, deletion, and related commitments. For customer-submitted intelligence content (Class C, as defined in our Privacy Policy and at /trust/), the contracted terms supersede these terms wherever the two differ.

2. Not financial, legal, or investment advice

Nothing on Signal Bureau is financial, legal, tax, or investment advice, an offer or solicitation, or a recommendation to buy, sell, or hold anything. Prediction-market prices and our source-checked reads are shown to illuminate a question, not to direct a decision. You are solely responsible for your own decisions and should consult a qualified professional where appropriate.

2a. Watches (added October 4, 2026; revised November 8, 2026)

A Watch is what we offer. A saved question, re-read from the record on a schedule. Each reading says per condition whether it is measured, with sources, or cannot be measured yet. History kept from day one. Pull, not push: you or your agent check, and the reading says what changed. Configuring, running and saving a Watch are free, with no card and no end date, up to 5 saved Watches per verified email or key. Retiring a saved Watch frees its place and keeps its record. Rates change forward-only with 30 days' published notice, and every past revision is kept on our record.

Need more, or something built around your own question? Ask us. Anything we arrange with you beyond the free limits is agreed with you in writing first. The month you're in is always refundable. If the desk isn't earning its place, say so and we refund the month you're in, in full — no forms, no retention call, no reason required. Coverage stops when you say stop, and we never bill a month forward that you didn't want. It covers every arrangement we make with you, and any balance already funded on a key. To stop an arrangement, email lead@evfm.co; billing stops when you ask. A Watch is informational only and is not advice: Sections 2 and 5 apply to everything a Watch reports.

3. Acceptable use

Use Signal Bureau lawfully and in good faith. Do not attempt to disrupt, overload, scrape at abusive volume, reverse-engineer, or gain unauthorized access to the service; do not use it to harass, deceive, or to generate unlawful content. We may rate-limit, suspend, or restrict access to protect the service and other users.

4. Intellectual property

Signal Bureau, the Signal Bureau name and mark, the user interface, the underlying software, the entity-normalization and divergence methodology, and all compilations of data and analysis are owned by Evolution Accelerator, Inc. (dba Evolution Labs) (“Evolution Labs”) and protected by intellectual-property laws. “Signal Bureau” is a trademark of Evolution Accelerator, Inc. We grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the service for your own informational use. Source material we summarize remains the property of its respective owners and is credited on every item, with links wherever the source is linkable.

4a. Using what SigB publishes (licence; revised November 8, 2026)

SigB’s own outputs, meaning the record, its claims and their standing, Watch readings, links, and the metadata around them, are licensed to you under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International licence (CC BY 4.0). You may store, archive, build on, analyse, train or evaluate models on, and redistribute them, for any purpose, including commercially, as long as you credit “Signal Bureau (sigb.ai)” and link to the page or record you used where you can.

Four things stay outside this licence. Third-party material belongs to its owners. That includes article text, which we quote in short extracts with a link to the original, and data we cite from others, such as IMF PortWatch transit counts, which stays under its provider’s own terms. Any reuse of their work is between you and them. The Signal Bureau name and mark are not licensed, and nothing you build may suggest that we endorse it. Our code, models and pipelines stay private. Live access to the API and MCP tools is subject to the rate limits stated at /machine/; for more than those, ask us.

5. Accuracy and sources

We report what sources say and attribute them, and we apply guardrails against adding facts the source did not state. Even so, automated intelligence can be incomplete or wrong, sources can be mistaken, and markets move. We make no warranty that any read, probability, or summary is accurate, complete, or current. Verify anything you rely on.

6. No warranty · limitation of liability

The service is provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Evolution Labs will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, or special damages, or for any decision made in reliance on the service.

7. Changes

Signal Bureau is in active development; features and these terms may change. Material changes will be reflected by an updated date above. Continued use after a change means you accept the revised terms.
