Legal

Terms of use.

These terms govern www.mortonlabs.ai. They are not the agreement for any Morton Labs product, pilot or service — those have their own contracts.

LAST UPDATED 2026-09-19

1. Who we are, and acceptance

Morton Labs, a company headquartered in Chicago, Illinois (“Morton Labs”, “we”, “us”), operates this website. By accessing www.mortonlabs.ai or submitting any form on it, you agree to these Terms of Use and acknowledge our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the site. If you use the site on behalf of an organisation, you confirm that you have authority to bind it, and “you” includes that organisation.

The Privacy Policy explains how we handle personal data you submit or that is collected automatically. It is a separate document; if it conflicts with these Terms on a privacy matter, the Privacy Policy controls.

2. What these terms cover

These Terms cover the public marketing site at www.mortonlabs.ai (and its staging host) only. Morton Labs products, pilots, evaluations and services are governed by their own written agreements, and where a signed agreement exists, it controls. The Fusion Hub at hub.mortonlabs.ai is a separate service with its own terms; these Terms do not apply to it.

3. Eligibility

The site is intended for adults and working professionals. It is not directed to children under 13. You must be at least 18, or the age of majority where you live, to submit a form. If you are younger than that you are welcome to read the site, but do not send us anything through it.

4. Our content and trademarks

Everything on the site — text, graphics, diagrams, 3D depictions, poster images, video, code, and the look and feel — is owned by or licensed to Morton Labs and protected by copyright, trademark and other laws. “Morton Labs” and the Morton Labs wordmark are our trademarks, whether or not registered. Nothing on the site grants you any right in them except the limited licence below. Open-source components, including the site’s typefaces, are governed by their own licences, and figures attributed to third-party sources remain the property of those sources.

5. Permitted use

We grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to view the site and to print or save pages for personal or internal business purposes, keeping every copyright and attribution notice intact. Any other use — republishing, selling, framing, or building a product or dataset on our content — needs our written permission first.

6. Prohibited conduct

You must not:

  • use the site for anything unlawful, or in a way that harms other people;
  • circumvent security, rate limits, or the bot protections on our forms;
  • run automated access that ignores our robots.txt, degrades the service, or harvests personal data;
  • submit malware, spam, or knowingly false information through any form;
  • impersonate a person or organisation, or misrepresent your affiliation;
  • frame, mirror or present the site in a way that misrepresents its source;
  • reverse-engineer non-public code, or remove or alter any notice.

Automated access — including search and AI crawlers — that respects our robots.txt and reasonable rate limits is permitted. Our robots.txt is the authoritative statement of what may be crawled.

7. Forms, and what you send us

When you use the contact, careers or newsletter form you confirm that the information is accurate and yours to share. Personal data in a submission is handled under the Privacy Policy. Ideas, feedback and suggestions you send are non-confidential; we may use them without any obligation or payment to you. A job listing is not an offer of employment, and an application is handled under the Privacy Policy and applicable employment law.

Do not send confidential, proprietary, export-controlled or classified information through the site. If you need to share it, ask for a non-disclosure agreement first and we will set one up. We may decline to answer or act on any submission. We aim to reply to contact-form messages within 48 hours; that is a goal, not a promise, and a submission does not create any duty on our part.

8. Third-party links and services

The site links to services we do not control, including LinkedIn, Instagram and the Fusion Hub. Links are for convenience, not endorsement. Those services have their own terms and privacy practices, which apply once you leave this site. If a link is broken or leads somewhere it should not, tell us at zach@mortonlabs.ai and we will fix it.

9. Informational content; not advice

The site’s content — including the 3D depictions of components, machines and plants, the conceptual physics overlays, the reference-plant models, and any figures attributed to third-party sources — is illustrative and for general information only. It is not a simulation output, an engineering analysis, a safety analysis, or professional advice of any kind. The 3D viewers carry the words “NOT A SIMULATION” because that is what they are: conceptual pictures, not solver results. Technical figures shown are attributed public figures, not Morton Labs data. Do not rely on anything here for design, licensing, procurement, safety or operational decisions. Consult qualified engineers and the primary sources.

10. Forward-looking statements; no offer of securities

Statements on the site about our plans, roadmap, capabilities, timelines, partnerships, hiring, or expected results are forward-looking. They rest on current assumptions, involve risks and uncertainties, and may not happen. We undertake no duty to update them. Nothing on this site is an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to buy, any securities, nor an invitation to invest in Morton Labs.

11. Disclaimer of warranties

The site and its content are provided “as is” and “as available”. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, accuracy, completeness, availability, and freedom from viruses or errors. Some jurisdictions do not allow these exclusions. Nothing here limits rights you have under applicable consumer law that cannot be waived, including the Illinois Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Business Practices Act.

12. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Morton Labs and its officers, employees, contractors and agents are not liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary or punitive damages, or for lost profits, revenue, data or goodwill, arising from your use of or reliance on the site, however caused and under any theory of liability. Our total liability for all claims relating to the site is capped at US$100. The site is free to use; the cap reflects that.

These limits do not apply to liability that the law does not allow us to limit, including liability under the Illinois Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Business Practices Act, and nothing here limits rights you cannot waive.

13. Indemnification

You will defend, indemnify and hold harmless Morton Labs and its officers, employees, contractors and agents from any third-party claim, and the reasonable costs of it, arising from your breach of these Terms, your submissions, or your violation of law or of someone else’s rights. We may take over the defence of any such claim at our own expense, and you will cooperate with us.

14. Governing law and venue

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Illinois, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. Any dispute relating to the site or these Terms will be heard exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Cook County, Illinois, and each of us consents to personal jurisdiction and venue there. There is no arbitration clause in these Terms. If the law where you live gives you the right to sue in your local courts, nothing here takes it away.

15. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms. When we do, the “Last updated” date at the top changes, and we may announce material changes on the site. Continued use of the site after updated Terms are posted is acceptance of them. Prior versions are available on request.

16. Suspension and termination

We may restrict or block your access to the site, without notice, for any breach of these Terms or to protect the site and its users. You may stop using the site at any time; there is no account to close and nothing to cancel. Sections 4, 7, 9 to 14, 17 and 18 survive any termination.

If you believe content on this site infringes your copyright, email zach@mortonlabs.ai with: the work you say is infringed; the URL of the material on our site; your name, address and contact details; and a statement, made in good faith, that the use is not authorised by the owner, its agent or the law. We review every notice promptly and remove or correct material where warranted.

18. General

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, are the entire agreement between you and Morton Labs about the site. If any part is unenforceable, the rest stands. Our not enforcing a term is not a waiver of it. We may assign these Terms; you may not. There are no third-party beneficiaries. Headings are for convenience only. We may give notice by posting on the site, and you agree to receive communications from us electronically. You are responsible for compliance with United States export-control and sanctions laws in your access to and use of the site; the site’s content is public information. These Terms are written in English; any translation is for convenience only, and the English text controls.
