Terms of Use

The rules of the road.

The terms on which you may use this site, the public Signal verifier, and the materials we publish — including what a Signal does and does not mean.

Updated 2 July 2026

Terms of Use

Plain terms, clearly stated.

These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of this website and the public Signal verifier (together, the “Site”), operated by Veranox Systems Private Limited (“Veranox,” “we,” “us”). By using the Site, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Site.

01

Acceptable use

You may use the Site for lawful purposes only. You agree not to:

  • Interfere with, probe, or disrupt the Site, its security, or its underlying systems.
  • Attempt to forge, tamper with, or misrepresent a Signal or its verification result.
  • Use automated means to scrape or harvest data in a way that degrades the service or circumvents access controls.
  • Misuse the verifier to imply an endorsement, affiliation, or outcome that a Signal does not actually attest.
02

The public verifier

The verifier lets anyone confirm a Signal by checking its Ed25519 signature. It returns whether a Signal is valid and the competence bands it attests, and requires no account. You may use it freely for genuine verification.

03

What a Signal means — and its limits

A GradiumOS Signal is a cryptographically signed record that a defined competence was demonstrated and graded to a stated band. It is meaningful precisely because of what it is not:

  • It attests demonstrated, graded competence — not attendance, completion, or a self-claim.
  • It cannot be self-issued; it is signed only after assessed demonstration.
  • A valid signature confirms authenticity and integrity at the time of issue; it is not a guarantee of future performance, employment outcomes, or fitness for a specific role.
  • Bands describe competence at the assessed point in time. Where a validity window applies, it is carried in the Signal itself.

Decisions you make on the basis of a Signal (for example, hiring or admission) remain your own. Veranox is not a party to those decisions.

04

Intellectual property

The Site and its contents are owned by Veranox or licensed to us, and are protected by applicable intellectual-property laws. In particular:

  • The Gradium Index methodology — the eight competence clusters, the grading model, and the Readiness computation.
  • The Signal standard — its structure, format, and verification scheme.
  • All Veranox and GradiumOS names, marks, and the tagline“Turning Learning into Verifiable Competence.”

are the property of Veranox. You may not copy, adapt, or reuse them except to verify a Signal as intended, or as we expressly permit in writing.

05

Availability and accuracy

The Site is provided during a preview phase as we bring GradiumOS to pilot institutions. We work to keep it accurate and available, but we provide it on an “as available” basis and may change, suspend, or withdraw features without notice. To the extent permitted by law, we exclude implied warranties and limit our liability for indirect or consequential loss arising from your use of the Site. Nothing in these Terms excludes liability that cannot be excluded under Indian law.

06

Governing law and jurisdiction

These Terms are governed by the laws of India. The courts at Chennai, Tamil Nadu have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising out of or in connection with the Site or these Terms.

07

Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. The current version is always the one published here, dated at the top of the page. Continuing to use the Site after a change means you accept the updated Terms.
