5. Intellectual Property

All content on this Site (including but not limited to text, articles, training tools, algorithms, diagrams, code, graphics, logos, and the overall design) is the property of AI Speed Cube Trainer or its content suppliers and is protected by applicable intellectual property laws.

The speedcubing algorithms referenced on this site are widely documented in the public speedcubing community and are not claimed as proprietary. However, our specific presentation, writing, diagrams, and training software are original works.

6. User-Submitted Content

The primary form of optional user content on this Site is a display name and practice score stored in your browser. You may change or clear that data at any time via browser settings. Because this data never leaves your device, we do not publish, moderate, or host shared scoreboards.

7. Advertising

This Site is supported by display advertising served by Google AdSense and potentially other advertising partners. Advertisements displayed on this Site are not endorsements by us of the advertised products or services.

We make no warranty regarding the accuracy or completeness of any content on the Site, including algorithm information.

Accuracy of Algorithms: While we strive to ensure the accuracy of all algorithms and technique information presented on this Site, speedcubing involves multiple valid approaches.
