1. Acceptance
By accessing Sovereign Sign Protocol ("SSP", "we", operated by Sovereign Sign Prortocall) you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the service. You represent that you are 18+ and have authority to enter this contract (individually or on behalf of your organization).
2. The Service
SSP is non-custodial infrastructure that lets you anchor SHA-256 hashes of master recordings to the Polygon blockchain, register on-chain royalty splits, and route stablecoin (USDC) payments to recipients. We do not take custody of your masters, your wallet, or your funds.
3. Eligibility & sanctions
You must be 18+ and legally permitted to enter contracts. You may not use SSP if you are located in, or are a national of, a comprehensively sanctioned jurisdiction, or if your wallet appears on the OFAC SDN list or Chainalysis on-chain sanctions oracle. We screen payout wallets against these lists and block matches.
4. Your content
You represent that you own or have all necessary rights to the masters and metadata you upload. You grant SSP a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to store, hash, process, and route them solely to operate the service. You retain all ownership of your content.
5. Intellectual property
Sovereign Sign Prortocall retains all right, title, and interest in the SSP service, software, smart-contract code, branding, documentation, and related IP. You receive only a limited right to use the service under these Terms; no other license is granted, express or implied. You may not reverse engineer, resell, or redistribute the service.
6. On-chain immutability
Polygon transactions and contract state are permanent and outside our control. We cannot reverse a stamp, a split, or a payment once confirmed.

Subscription plans are billed in advance on a recurring basis (monthly unless stated otherwise) and renew automatically at the end of each billing period until cancelled.
