Legal & Disclaimers

Full disclaimers, misuse policy, and legal notices for the Order-Flow Standard (OFS-2.1).

Disclaimers

Public interoperability standard; does not replace legally recognized time standards (ISO/UTC/local law).

Non-affiliation: OFSClock is not an official government, regulator, or international standards body.

Not a monitoring framework: no employee surveillance, no productivity scoring, no involuntary tracking by design.

Safety-Critical Note

Not sole time source: OFS must not be used as the only time reference for safety-critical systems, transport, or medical applications.

Misuse (Anti-oppression)

OFS must not be used to build fine-grained behavioral monitoring, workplace scoring, or coercive scheduling systems. Any implementation that uses OFS data to surveil, rank, or penalize individuals violates the standard’s normative safeguards.

  • Workplace surveillance via ψ-level logging is explicitly forbidden.
  • Productivity scoring based on OFS pulses is explicitly forbidden.
  • Coercive scheduling regimes built on OFS are explicitly forbidden.

Attention-first defaults are normative goals of the standard.
