2. Service Description

CAEXV provides a Zero-Access digital registry service that enables users to generate cryptographic proof that a digital file existed at a specific point in time.

The service includes:

  • client-side generation of a cryptographic hash (SHA-256)

  • creation of a timestamped registry entry

  • extraction of technical metadata (“AI-DNA”)

  • assignment of a unique OriginCrest ID

  • generation of a GoldCard PDF as a cryptographic certificate (Pro)

  • public verification via Verify (HashCheck)

  • optional Double-Proof verification (Pro)

All file processing occurs locally in the user’s browser.
CAEXV never uploads, receives, processes, or stores original user files or file contents.

3. Plans & Features

3.1 Basic Proof

The Basic proof includes:

  • creation of a cryptographic proof-of-existence

  • timestamped registry entry

  • file hash registration

  • public verification via Verify (HashCheck)

No GoldCard is generated, stored, or archived under the Basic proof.

3.2 Pro Proof

The Pro proof includes all Basic features plus:

  • generation of a GoldCard PDF as a cryptographic certificate

  • Double-Proof verification (registry proof + GoldCard verification)

Important Zero-Access Notice:
GoldCards are generated on demand and delivered directly to the user.
CAEXV does not store, back up, archive, or retain GoldCards in any form.

4. Zero-Access Architecture

CAEXV follows a strict Zero-Access principle:

  • no files or file contents are uploaded

  • no file contents are processed server-side

  • no semantic or content analysis is performed

  • no behavioral tracking or analytics are used

CAEXV servers receive only:

  • SHA-256 hash

  • timestamp

  • file category

  • technical metadata (“AI-DNA”)

  • OriginCrest ID

CAEXV cannot reconstruct, infer, or access file contents.

5. User Responsibilities

You are solely responsible for:

  • maintaining possession of your original files

  • safeguarding generated GoldCards

  • understanding that file modifications produce different hashes

CAEXV cannot recover lost files or recreate certificates without the original file.

You agree not to use CAEXV for unlawful, infringing, or abusive purposes.

6. Payments & Payment Processing (Stripe)

All payments are processed by Stripe as the payment processor.

Stripe is responsible for:

  • payment processing

  • billing and invoicing

  • tax calculation and handling (where applicable)

  • chargeback and dispute processing

CAEXV does not receive or store payment card or billing information.
