Terms of Service
This is a working draft. The Eclipse Initiative has corporate and securities attorney consults scheduled for Weeks 10–11 of Phase 1; this document should be reviewed and finalized before the signup form goes live.
The short version
This site is an introduction to The Eclipse Initiative — a proposed multi-modal infrastructure corridor from Oregon to Georgia. The site is informational. By using it, you agree to use it lawfully and not to misuse the email addresses we publish. Phase-1 numbers and claims are drafts and may change. The Initiative is not (yet) affiliated with any government agency.
Acceptance
By visiting eclipseinitiative.org, signing up for updates, or sending us a message, you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, don't use the site.
What this site is
eclipseinitiative.org is a public introduction to The Eclipse Initiative. It contains:
- A description of the Initiative and its goals.
- An email signup form for periodic updates.
- Public contact addresses (
policy@,press@).
The site is informational and educational. It is not a solicitation to invest, a government communication, or a binding offer of any kind. Quantitative claims on the site (jobs, costs, timelines, revenue, distribution figures) are draft estimates from Phase-1 modeling and will be revised as the project advances. Treat them as directional, not as commitments.
Phase-1 status
The Eclipse Initiative is in Phase 1 — Foundation as of April 2026. The website you are reading is a Phase-1 public introduction. Detailed program materials — the Capital Memorandum, Political Briefing, Podcast Prep Kit, and Multi-Modal Economic Model — exist in draft form and are made available to qualified reviewers on request. Phase-1 documents carry a "DRAFT — NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION" watermark. Quantitative claims may shift as the model is refined.
Permitted use
You may:
- Read the site.
- Sign up for email updates.
- Send us messages at the public addresses.
- Quote or reference content from the site for journalism, research, or public-interest purposes, with attribution.
Prohibited use
You may not:
- Scrape, crawl, or automate downloads of the site beyond reasonable and identified use (e.g., search-engine indexing is fine).
- Send unsolicited commercial messages, spam, or harassment to the public addresses we publish.
- Impersonate The Eclipse Initiative, the founder, or anyone else associated with the project.
- Use the site or its addresses to attempt to compromise our infrastructure, our service providers, or any third party.
- Republish substantial portions of the site as your own work.
- Create derivative works that imply endorsement by The Eclipse Initiative without our written permission.
Intellectual property
Site content — including text, design, logos, images, and the Eclipse name and visual identity — is owned by The Eclipse Initiative or used under license. You may not reproduce it for commercial use without permission. Quoting and linking for non-commercial purposes (journalism, research, public discussion) is welcome and does not require advance approval, provided you attribute the source.
Your messages and ideas
If you send us a suggestion, idea, proposal, or any other unsolicited content (by email or any other channel), you agree that:
- Your submission is not confidential unless we have signed a separate non-disclosure agreement.
- We may use, develop, or implement the idea without compensation or credit, unless we agree otherwise in writing in advance.
This is a standard suggestion-program disclaimer and is not intended to discourage you from writing — we welcome it. It just protects the Initiative from claims that arise when an idea we already had, or developed independently, happens to overlap with one someone else sent us.
No professional advice
Nothing on this site is legal, financial, investment, tax, or engineering advice. The site describes a proposed infrastructure project; it does not give you advice on how to participate in it or evaluate it. For decisions that affect you personally or financially, consult a qualified professional.
No government affiliation (yet)
The Eclipse Initiative is a privately led effort. The corridor framework is designed to be authorized by federal legislation modeled on the Tennessee Valley Authority, but no such legislation exists yet and the Initiative is not currently affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by any agency of the United States government, any state government, or any local government. References to TVA, the Interstate Highway System, the Apollo program, and other public works on this site are historical and conceptual analogues, not statements of current legal status.
Forward-looking statements
The site contains forward-looking statements about jobs, costs, timelines, revenue, asset life, and distribution figures. These are draft estimates based on Phase-1 modeling and reflect our current best understanding. They are not promises and they may change — sometimes substantially — as the project advances, as the multi-modal economic model is refined, and as authorizing legislation takes shape (or does not). Do not rely on any specific number on this site as a fixed commitment.
Disclaimers
The site is provided "as is" and "as available." To the maximum extent permitted by law, The Eclipse Initiative disclaims all warranties of any kind, express or implied — including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, completeness, and non-infringement.
We do not guarantee that the site will be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free, or that any defects will be corrected.
Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, The Eclipse Initiative, its founder, and its agents are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from or related to your use of the site — including, without limitation, lost profits, lost data, business interruption, or reputational harm — even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.
Our total cumulative liability to you for any claim arising from these terms or your use of the site is limited to one hundred US dollars ($100).
Indemnification
You agree to defend and indemnify The Eclipse Initiative, its founder, and its agents from any claim arising out of (a) your misuse of the site, (b) your violation of these terms, or (c) your violation of any law or third-party right.
Governing law and disputes
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Washington, United States, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. Any dispute arising under these terms will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in King County, Washington, and you agree to the personal jurisdiction of those courts.
Changes to these terms
We may update these terms from time to time. The effective date at the top will reflect the most recent revision. If we make material changes — for example, changing the governing-law provision or adding new prohibited uses — we will notify subscribers by email before the changes take effect for them.
Severability and entire agreement
If any provision of these terms is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in effect. These terms, together with the Privacy Policy, are the entire agreement between you and The Eclipse Initiative regarding the site, and supersede any prior understandings.
