Terms, Privacy, and Intellectual Property Notices

These terms govern your access to and use of this website and any services, materials, studies, applications, or intellectual property made available by MMMmc LLC (a Georgia limited liability company) and Sensory Bridges LLC (a Tennessee limited liability company), together with their affiliates, members, officers, contractors, and agents (collectively, the "Companies," "we," "us," or "our"). By using this site you accept these terms in full. If you do not accept them, do not use the site.

Last updated: 2026 · This page is a legal notice, not legal advice to you.

1. Agreement to Terms

These Terms and Conditions, the Privacy Policy, the Cookie Notice, and all intellectual property notices on this page form a single binding agreement between you and the Companies. Your continued use of the site, submission of any form, participation in any study, or receipt of any material from us constitutes acceptance. If you use the site on behalf of an organization, you represent that you are authorized to bind that organization.

2. Definitions

"Content" means all text, study snippets, protocols, instruments, data, software, applications, designs, marks, and other materials made available by the Companies. "Submission" means anything you send us through the site. "IP" means all patents, patent applications, copyrights, trademarks, trade dress, trade secrets, know-how, and other intellectual property rights worldwide.

3. Permitted Use of the Site

You may view the site for lawful, personal, or internal business evaluation purposes only. You may not, without our prior express written consent: copy, reproduce, republish, mirror, frame, scrape, data-mine, index for machine learning or model training, reverse engineer, decompile, benchmark, or create derivative works from any Content; circumvent access controls or rate limits; use automated agents against our forms or endpoints; or use the site to transmit malware, spam, or unlawful material.

We may suspend or terminate your access at any time, with or without notice, for any reason.

4. Intellectual Property & All Rights Reserved

All Content is owned by or licensed to the Companies and is protected by United States and international copyright, trademark, patent, and trade secret law. All rights reserved. Nothing on this site transfers ownership of any IP to you. The marks "Innovation Co.," "Sensory Bridges," "MMMmc," associated logos, wordmarks, and wave device are trademarks or common-law marks of the Companies and may not be used without express written permission.

5. Licenses — Express, Written, Revocable

No license to any IP is granted except by a signed, express written agreement executed by an authorized officer of the applicable Company. No license arises by implication, estoppel, course of dealing, negotiation, access to materials, receipt of a demonstration, participation in a study, or the absence of objection.

Any license that is granted is: revocable at any time, at the Companies' sole discretion, with or without cause and with or without notice; non-exclusive unless expressly stated otherwise; non-transferable and non-sublicensable; limited to the specific field, territory, term, and use stated in the writing; and conditioned on full compliance with these terms and the license agreement. Upon revocation or expiration you must immediately cease all use and, on request, certify destruction or return of all licensed materials. Fees paid are not refundable upon revocation for cause.

6. Trade Secrets & Confidentiality

Study protocols, instruments, raw and derived data, scoring methods, source code, pipelines, pricing models, client lists, and unpublished findings are asserted as trade secrets under the Defend Trade Secrets Act (18 U.S.C. § 1836 et seq.) and applicable Georgia and Tennessee trade secret statutes. Published snippets are deliberately partial and disclose no trade secret.

Submissions to this site are not confidential. Do not send confidential, proprietary, or unsolicited idea material through the contact form. Sending it creates no confidentiality obligation, no fiduciary relationship, no non-use obligation, and no compensation right. Confidentiality applies only under a signed NDA.

7. Patents & Patent-Pending Notice

Certain methods, devices, systems, and applications described or demonstrated by the Companies are the subject of issued patents or pending patent applications in the United States and elsewhere. Publication on this site is not a dedication to the public and does not constitute a grant of any patent license or covenant not to sue. This notice serves as constructive notice under 35 U.S.C. § 287 where applicable.

9. Infringement Reporting & Recovery

Reporting. Suspected infringement or misappropriation of the Companies' IP — including unauthorized copying of study instruments, application code, designs, marks, or licensed deliverables — should be reported through the contact form, selecting "Something else" and describing the matter. Reports are reviewed and, where warranted, escalated to counsel.

Remedies we may pursue. The Companies reserve every remedy available at law and in equity, including: immediate revocation of any license; injunctive and emergency relief (you agree that IP misuse causes irreparable harm for which money damages are inadequate, and you waive any bond requirement to the extent permitted); actual damages, the infringer's profits, and unjust enrichment; statutory damages and attorneys' fees where available, including for registered copyrights; exemplary damages and attorneys' fees for willful trade secret misappropriation; seizure, takedown, and domain or platform enforcement actions; accounting, disgorgement, and constructive trust over proceeds; and recovery of investigation and enforcement costs.

Cure and cooperation. A party that receives an infringement notice must, within ten (10) calendar days, cease the conduct, preserve all relevant records and systems (a litigation hold), provide a written accounting of use and distribution, and cooperate with reasonable audit. Failure to do so is treated as willful.

No waiver. Delay or failure to enforce any right is not a waiver of that right or of any other right.

10. Research Studies & Participant Terms

Study descriptions on this site are summaries only and are not offers to enroll, medical advice, diagnosis, treatment, or clinical guidance. Participation requires a separate written consent and participation agreement, and may be limited by eligibility criteria, geography, or capacity. Interim or preliminary findings may change, may not replicate, and must not be relied upon for any clinical, financial, or operational decision. Nothing on this site is an offer to sell or a solicitation to buy any security.

11. Privacy Policy

What we collect. Information you submit voluntarily (name, email, organization, inquiry type, study of interest, message content, consent status) and limited technical metadata associated with a submission (submission timestamp, page of origin, and anti-spam signals).

Why we collect it. To respond to your inquiry, evaluate study eligibility, schedule meetings, administer licensing and consulting relationships, protect the site from abuse, and meet legal obligations. We do not sell personal information, and we do not use your submission to train machine learning models.

Who can see it. Megan Cales and authorized personnel of the Companies, plus service providers acting on our instructions (hosting, database, email delivery, scheduling, and spam protection). Submissions are stored in an access-controlled database and are not publicly readable.

Children. The site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their information. Study participation involving minors occurs only through a separate guardian consent process.

12. Data Handling, Retention & Your Rights

Inquiry records are retained for as long as needed for the relationship and for a reasonable period afterward for legal, tax, and dispute-preservation purposes, then deleted or de-identified. Study data is governed by the applicable participation agreement and is stored separately from marketing inquiries.

Subject to verification and applicable law, you may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your inquiry data, or withdraw consent to further contact, by submitting a request through the contact form. We honor rights afforded by applicable state privacy laws and, where they apply, the GDPR/UK GDPR. We apply reasonable administrative and technical safeguards, but no system is perfectly secure and we cannot guarantee absolute security of transmitted data.

13. Cookie Notice

This site uses only strictly necessary cookies and equivalent local storage required to serve pages, maintain security, and protect forms from automated abuse. If analytics, scheduling embeds (such as a calendar booking widget), or captcha services are enabled, those providers may set their own cookies subject to their policies, and this notice will be updated accordingly. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings; parts of the site may then not function.

14. Third Parties — No Liability

The site may link to or embed third-party services, including scheduling, captcha, hosting, source control, cloud, and social platforms. Those services are controlled by others. The Companies are not responsible or liable for any third-party content, availability, security practice, data handling, act, or omission, and inclusion of a link or integration is not endorsement. Your use of a third-party service is governed solely by that provider's terms and privacy policy, and any dispute is between you and that provider.

15. Disclaimers

THE SITE AND ALL CONTENT ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, OR UNINTERRUPTED OPERATION. No advice or information obtained from us creates any warranty not expressly stated here.

16. Limitation of Liability & Damages Cap

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE COMPANIES WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, LOST REVENUE, LOST DATA, LOST GOODWILL, OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY.

THE COMPANIES' TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE SITE, THE CONTENT, ANY LICENSE, ANY STUDY, OR ANY SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF FEES OR PURCHASE PAYMENTS YOU ACTUALLY PAID TO THE COMPANIES IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM. IF YOU HAVE PAID NOTHING, THE COMPANIES' TOTAL LIABILITY IS ZERO. This cap applies regardless of the theory of liability and survives any failure of an exclusive remedy. Some jurisdictions limit these exclusions; in those places, liability is limited to the smallest amount permitted by law.

17. Indemnification

You will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Companies and their members, officers, employees, contractors, and agents from and against all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of your use of the site, your Submissions, your breach of these terms, your violation of law, or your infringement or misappropriation of any IP.

The same indemnity applies to any account you hold on this site: you indemnify the Companies for all activity under your account credentials, for anything you submit, upload, or acknowledge through the account, and for any onward disclosure of confidential or trade-secret material accessed through it. You will promptly notify us of unauthorized account use. We control the defense and settlement of any indemnified claim; you will cooperate at your expense. This obligation survives termination of your account.

Send indemnity notices, infringement reports, and legal questions to legal@sensorybridges.com, or by mail to Sensory Bridges LLC, 100 Cherokee Blvd, Suite 213, Chattanooga, TN 37405.

18. Mandatory Mediation & Dispute Resolution

Mediation is a mandatory condition precedent to filing suit. Before initiating any action, the parties must (a) exchange a written notice of dispute describing the claim and the relief sought, (b) confer in good faith for thirty (30) days, and (c) if unresolved, participate in non-binding mediation before a single mutually agreed mediator, or one appointed by a recognized mediation provider. Mediation occurs in Georgia (or by video conference where the mediator permits), and the parties split the mediator's fees equally while each bears its own costs. Mediation communications are confidential and inadmissible.

Any claim must be filed within one (1) year after it accrues or it is permanently barred. This section does not prevent either party from seeking immediate injunctive or emergency relief in court to protect intellectual property, trade secrets, or confidential information.

19. Governing Law & Venue

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Georgia, without regard to conflict-of-law rules, except that matters exclusively concerning Sensory Bridges LLC's Tennessee operations are governed by Tennessee law. Subject to the mediation requirement above, the parties consent to exclusive jurisdiction and venue in the state and federal courts serving the applicable Company's principal place of business.

20. Meetings, Calls & Recordings

Unless we state otherwise in writing before the meeting begins, all meetings, calls, demonstrations, consultations, and video sessions with either Company are recorded, together with transcripts, summaries, chat logs, and any notes or action items generated from them. By joining a meeting you consent to that recording. If you do not consent, tell us before the session starts and we will either proceed without recording or reschedule.

All such recordings and derived materials are the sole property of the applicable Company and constitute its confidential business records and, where applicable, copyrighted works and trade secrets. We use them for accuracy, follow-up, internal training, product and research development, and legal recordkeeping. You are granted no ownership, license, or right to copy, publish, transmit, transcribe, or distribute any recording, and you may not record, stream, or capture a session yourself without our prior express written consent.

Recordings are retained under the schedule published on our records-retention page. Nothing in this section grants you rights in any intellectual property disclosed during a meeting, and no license arises from any oral discussion; see Sections 4 and 5. This section survives termination.

21. Changes, Severability & Contact

We may update these terms at any time; the version posted when you use the site governs that use. If any provision is held unenforceable, it is modified to the minimum extent necessary and the remainder stays in force. These terms, plus any signed agreement between us, are the entire agreement and supersede prior discussions. Section headings are for convenience only.

Questions, privacy requests, infringement reports, and license inquiries: use the secure contact form or email legal@sensorybridges.com. Megan Cales can be reached through the contact form on this site.

Mailing address for notices and service of process:
Sensory Bridges LLC, 100 Cherokee Blvd, Suite 213, Chattanooga, TN 37405.

22. Policy Handbooks

The Companies maintain internal governance handbooks that expand on the policies summarized above. They are published here for transparency as counsel-review drafts: they are internal operating frameworks, not contracts. They do not transfer intellectual property, grant a license, create confidentiality, bind any institution, or operate retroactively. Nothing in a handbook overrides these terms or any signed agreement.

Effective date: August 21, 2026. Both handbooks are provided as read-only pages. They are not available for download or printing.

Order of precedence. If a handbook conflicts with these terms or with a signed agreement, the signed agreement controls first, then these terms, then the handbook.

Consistent with Sections 6, 10, and 20, handbook provisions intended to bind a customer, licensee, school, research participant, employee, or meeting attendee take effect only through the corresponding signed agreement or conspicuous clickwrap. Questions: legal@sensorybridges.com.
