Plain language for supporters before Round Zero opens.
Round Zero is a public crowdfunding campaign for the GLEE project. It is not any of the following:
All contributions are non-refundable by default. Funds go to active development of GLEE — once a contribution is confirmed, it is applied immediately to project operations. Exceptions may be made in cases of processing error; contact details will be published when Round Zero opens.
No refund on non-delivery. GLEE is a long-horizon project. Contributing means you believe in the mission. Seed Power does not expire if milestones are delayed.
Contribution size does not grant control. Whether you contribute a small or large amount, you do not gain authority over GLEE's direction, architecture, legal decisions, or team. Larger contributions may receive more SP — SP is a voice signal, not a vote that controls outcomes.
Manual review. Larger contributions may require manual review before acceptance. GLEE may decline or return contributions that create legal, payment, identity, operational, or mission-alignment concerns.
Seed Power (SP) is an internal weighting system — not a financial instrument, token, or currency. SP quantifies the attention weight your voice carries in GLEE's advisory direction system (Compass), once Compass launches.
Full Compass design is at /compass. Compass is prelaunch — no votes are being collected yet.
Every confirmed contribution results in a public contribution record. The record contains your public alias, supporter number, recognition class, and approximate contribution date. The record is intended to be durable because it is the historical credit that you helped GLEE exist at the beginning.
You choose your public alias. Real names, email addresses, and payment details are never published. See Privacy for the full data policy.
All GLEE code, research, systems, agents, architectures, designs, and documents are the property of the GLEE project operator. Contributing to Round Zero does not transfer any intellectual property rights to contributors. The GLEE codebase may include open-source components under their respective licenses.
GLEE intends to open-source significant portions of its work over time. This is a project goal, not a binding commitment in Round Zero.
GLEE Round Zero is offered as-is. No warranties are made, express or implied, about outcomes, delivery timelines, system performance, or the continuation of the project. To the maximum extent permitted by law, GLEE's liability to any contributor is limited to the amount they contributed.
No cookies, no tracking, no third-party data brokers. The full privacy policy — what's collected, what's public, what's private, data request process — is at /privacy.
These terms are prelaunch and may be updated before Round Zero opens. The current version is always at this URL. Material changes will be noted in the build log. Once Round Zero opens and contributions are live, the terms in effect at that time are the binding terms.
