Terms of use
What this site is, and what using it does and does not create.
What this site is
aksuindex.com publishes one document: the specification of the Aksu Index, version 1.0. It is a text, not a service. Nothing is sold here, there is no account, no subscription, no trial and no support undertaking, and no service level is promised because no service is offered.
Reading it creates no contract
Visiting or quoting this site does not form a contract with the provider, does not create a customer relationship, and places you under no obligation. Correspondence about the specification is answered as a courtesy, not as a contractual duty.
Licence position of the specification text
The repository of the reference implementation carries an MIT licence (Copyright © 2026 Mustafa Aksu), whose grant covers the software and its associated documentation files. Whether this specification, as published here, falls under that licence or under a separate documentation licence is not stated in the source material. The licence position is therefore still to be settled and is not asserted here. Until it is stated, treat the text as ordinary copyrighted material: quote it with attribution, as one quotes a standard, and ask before republishing it whole.
Quoting a number that carries the name
The specification defines its own condition of use: a number is quoted with all four quantities — proven, classified, unproven boundaries, unresolved — and quoting the proven number alone while unresolved is greater than zero is a violation of the specification. That is a rule of the definition, not a licence term. It cannot be enforced against you; it simply means the number you quoted is not the one this document defines.
The name
“Aksu Index” is the name under which Aksu Software publishes this specification. No trade mark registration is claimed here. The name is published so it can be cited; it is not published so it can be attached to a number computed under a different definition.
No warranty, and what this document is not
The text is published as it stands, without warranty of any kind, express or implied. It is not legal, security or compliance advice, and it is not a certificate: the specification says so in its own non-claims. A number produced under it is evidence for a security review or a data protection impact assessment, and the review remains the reviewer’s. No liability is accepted for decisions taken solely on the basis of what is published here, save for liability that cannot be excluded by law.
Versions and changes
The specification freezes at its first public reference. After that, any change to the formula or to the non-claims is a new major version published side by side, and an existing number is never silently redefined. The version and the publication date shown in the footer identify exactly which text you read. Corrections to this site that do not touch the formula or the non-claims are made without a version change and are listed in the errata section of the document.
External links
This site cites external sources and links to them. The provider has no influence over their content, and responsibility for it lies with their respective operators. A citation is a statement about what a source said on the date given, not an endorsement of it.
Governing law
To be stated once the provider’s place of establishment is entered in the legal notice. Naming a jurisdiction before that address is filled in would be a guess, and a guess in this position is worse than a gap.
Marked passages must be completed with real, contactable details before this site goes live. An incomplete legal notice is worse than none. These pages are prepared with care; they are not legal advice.
