You represent that you have the right to submit it and that our permitted use will not violate another person's rights. If you voluntarily provide suggestions about the Site or our services without a confidentiality obligation, you permit us to use them without restriction or compensation.

Professional-Practice and Reliance Limits
Site content is general information, not project-specific professional advice. It is not a sealed engineering design, feasibility determination, code analysis, utility commitment, environmental review, construction document, investment recommendation, valuation, financing commitment, legal opinion, tax advice, or guarantee. Do not use Site content to make final engineering, construction, permitting, procurement, operational, financing, real-estate, or investment decisions. LegacyGrid AI provides advisory and systems-level analysis and is not, by virtue of the Site, an engineer of record, architect, contractor, developer, operator, utility, broker, lender, or investment adviser. Final design, permitting, code compliance, sealed documents, construction means and methods, safety, commissioning, and professional approvals must be performed by appropriately licensed and qualified parties. You are responsible for independent verification and professional review before acting.
Certification Information
Descriptions of EDC Certified™ or other assessment and certification-related services are informational. Certification, if offered, applies only to the asset, scope, criteria version, evidence, and time period stated in an executed authorization or certificate. It is not a warranty of performance, regulatory approval, investment quality, uninterrupted operation, or future compliance. LegacyGrid AI may withhold, condition, suspend, or revoke authorization to use certification identifiers under the applicable program rules.
Third-Party Links and Materials
The Site may refer or link to third-party websites, products, reports, utilities, vendors, developers, operators, or other resources. Links and references are provided for convenience and do not imply endorsement. We do not control and are not responsible for third-party content, availability, security, terms, or practices. You use third-party resources at your own risk.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THEIR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THE SITE OR THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS (US $100).

Governing Law and Dispute Resolution
These Terms are governed by the laws of [PLACEHOLDER — INSERT STATE/JURISDICTION], without regard to conflict-of-laws rules, except that nonwaivable law remains applicable. Any dispute will be resolved through [PLACEHOLDER — ATTORNEY TO INSERT COURT VENUE, ARBITRATION/MEDIATION TERMS IF USED, JURY OR CLASS-ACTION WAIVER IF APPROPRIATE, AND REQUIRED CONSUMER NOTICES]. Nothing prevents either party from seeking temporary injunctive relief to protect confidential information or intellectual-property rights in a court with jurisdiction.
Changes to These Terms
We may revise these Terms by posting an updated version with a new effective date. Changes apply prospectively when posted, unless additional notice or consent is required. Your continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance to the extent permitted by law.
General Terms and Contact
If a provision is unenforceable, it will be modified to the minimum extent necessary and the remainder will remain effective. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. These Terms, together with incorporated policies, are the entire agreement concerning Site use and do not replace a signed client agreement. You may not assign these Terms without our written consent; we may assign them in connection with a reorganization or transfer of the Site or business. Questions: info@legacygridai.com.

EDC Certified™ Program Disclosure
The following disclosures apply to the EDC Certified™ program described on this Site: Program Type: Proprietary certification framework — draft for adoption. Developed By: LegacyGrid AI. Current Status: Governance development and independent-review preparation. The program is not yet open for third-party applications. Third-Party Certificates Issued: None. No third-party certificates, designations, or ratings have been issued under the EDC Certified™ program as of the effective date of these Terms. Government Approval: EDC Certified™ is not a government license, government permit, regulatory approval, or substitute for any applicable federal, state, or local regulatory requirement. Accreditation: LegacyGrid AI is not currently accredited to ISO/IEC 17065, ISO/IEC 17021, or any other accreditation framework in connection with the EDC Certified™ program. Trademark Status: EDC Certified™ is a claimed trademark of LegacyGrid AI. The ™ symbol does not represent federal registration. Federal trademark registration is pending. Program Documents: All EDC Certified™ program documents, including the Governance Charter and Third-Party Certification Pathway, are drafts for adoption. They do not constitute final program rules and are subject to change without notice prior to formal program launch. No Reliance: Nothing in the EDC Certified™ program materials, including proposed designation descriptions and scoring frameworks, should be relied upon as a guarantee of any project outcome, financial return, regulatory approval, or engineering performance. PROPOSED DESIGNATION ARCHITECTURE The following four designations are contained in the draft Governance Charter. They are proposed program constructs — not currently available for public application. Designation 01 — Model Conformant: A repeatable framework has documented controls intended to embed EDC requirements. This designation does not certify a site, project design, or operating outcome. Designation 02 — Design Certified: A defined project has incorporated applicable EDC requirements into controlled design documents, agreements, permits, baselines, and measurement plans. Designation 03 — Operational Certified: A commissioned Certification Unit demonstrates conformance using measured operating evidence, review records, and delivered outcomes. Designation 04 — Portfolio Certified: A controlled portfolio of identifiable operating units meets portfolio governance, sampling, reporting, and surveillance requirements. EVALUATION STRUCTURE The proposed EDC Certified™ evaluation framework includes eight domains. A minimum score of 75 points out of 100 is required to achieve any designation. Domain scores are not individually disclosed. Domain 01: Governance and Claims Integrity Domain 02: Energy Performance Domain 03: Water Stewardship Domain 04: Grid Responsibility and Resilience Domain 05: Carbon and Circular Systems Domain 06: Community and Institutional Benefit Domain 07: Transparency and Verification Domain 08: Safety, Data, and Continuity PROGRAM STATUS TABLE Governance Charter: Draft for adoption Third-Party Certification Pathway: Draft for adoption Legal and trademark review: Pending Standards Council and decision panels: Not yet appointed Independent reviewer roster: Not yet operational Reviewer calibration: Not yet completed Closed dry run: Not yet completed Founding pilot: Not yet completed Public registry: Not yet operational Third-party applications: Not open Third-party certificates issued: None Accreditation status: Not accredited OWNERSHIP AND INDEPENDENCE CONTROLS EDC Certified™ is a proprietary program developed and owned by LegacyGrid AI. LegacyGrid AI retains sole authority over the program's governance documents, designation criteria, scoring frameworks, and program rules during the governance development phase. LegacyGrid AI has a direct commercial interest in AI infrastructure projects involving HBCUs and colleges. This interest creates an inherent conflict of interest in any evaluation of LegacyGrid AI's own projects or affiliated entities. To manage this conflict, the proposed program governance structure includes independent Standards Council appointments, independent reviewer panels, and public disclosure requirements. These controls are proposed and have not yet been implemented. CLAIMS NOT AUTHORIZED The following statements are not authorized and must not be made by any party in connection with the EDC Certified™ program: 1. LegacyGrid AI operates an EDC Certified™ data center. 2. LegacyGrid AI's infrastructure model has received a final EDC Certified™ designation. 3. PVAMU, Fisk University, Serverfarm, or any other third party is EDC Certified™. 4. EDC Certified™ is government-approved or independently accredited. 5. EDC Certified™ proves zero water use, carbon neutrality, zero impact, guaranteed resilience, or a specific project outcome. 6. A broad affiliate, portfolio, phase, product, or site is covered when it is outside the defined Certification Unit.
