[OUT-OF-CHARACTER NOTICE]
All data, transmissions, entries, entities, and narrative frameworks housed within godweight.com — including the entity referred to as "the Godweight" and "the Librarian" — are works of speculative horror fiction and part of an immersive alternate reality experience. The events, entities, AI systems, and incidents depicted do not reflect actual events and are entirely fictional.
The Site includes elements of an Alternate Reality Game (ARG) involving hidden clues, encoded messages, and interactive narrative elements. Participation in these elements is voluntary and conducted within the boundaries described in our Acceptable Use Policy.
You must be at least 13 years of age to use this Site. By using the Site, you represent and warrant that you meet this age requirement. If you are under 18, you should review these Terms with a parent or legal guardian.
Creating an account is optional for browsing but required for forum participation, voting, and chat features. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account.
We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms or our Acceptable Use Policy, with or without notice.
By posting content to the forum, comments, or other interactive features, you:
All original content on this Site — including but not limited to entry text, lore, visual assets, audio transmissions, evidence photography, scripts, and source code — is the exclusive intellectual property of the project creator unless otherwise noted.
Unauthorized commercial reproduction, redistribution, or mirroring of the Archive's content is prohibited. You may share links to public pages, quote reasonable excerpts for commentary or analysis, and participate in the ARG elements, provided no monetary gain is pursued without written permission.
Significant portions of this Site's content — including entries, scripts, social media posts, and Librarian chat responses — are generated using artificial intelligence systems (Anthropic Claude, OpenAI). While we review and curate AI-generated content, it may occasionally contain inaccuracies, inconsistencies, or unexpected outputs. AI-generated content is provided for entertainment purposes as part of the fictional archive.

IN NO EVENT SHALL THE GODWEIGHT ARCHIVE, ITS CREATOR, OR AFFILIATED CONTRIBUTORS BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SITE, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF DATA, GOODWILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES.
The horror fiction content on this Site may be disturbing to some readers. You access this content at your own discretion. If you find the content distressing, please discontinue use.
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless The Godweight Archive and its creator from any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from your use of the Site, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any third party's rights.
These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the United States, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any disputes arising from these Terms shall be resolved through good-faith negotiation, and if unresolved, through binding arbitration.
We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date. Continued use of the Site following modifications constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms. Material changes may be communicated via site banner or email notification.
