The service
embody.tools hosts the Collection — transparent TouchDesigner networks (TDN) that anyone can inspect, copy to the clipboard, and remix in their own projects. The Embody and Envoy software is open source under the MIT license, available onGitHub; this site is a companion gallery and is operated by The Experiential Company, LLC(“TEC,” “we,” “us”), a California limited liability company. We may add, change, or remove features at any time.
Your account
You can browse without an account. To publish, you need one. You’re responsible for keeping your credentials secure and for everything done under your account. Give us accurate information when you sign up, and let us know if you think your account has been compromised. You must be at least 13 to create an account — older where your local law requires it (for example 16 in parts of the EU), unless a parent or guardian consents on your behalf.
Content you publish
You keep ownership of the networks you contribute. When you publish a specimen, you grant embody.tools the right to store, display, and distribute it through the Collection, and you choose an open license (for example CC-BY-4.0) under which others may copy and adapt it. You confirm that you have the right to publish what you upload and that it doesn’t infringe anyone else’s rights.
Because specimens are transparent and meant to be copied, assume anything you publish is permanent and public. Earlier versions are kept as an immutable history so the Collection stays diffable, and copies others make under your chosen license are theirs to keep. We’ll remove your authored entries on request, but we can’t recall copies already made.
Copyright and takedowns
We respect intellectual-property rights and expect you to as well. If you believe something in the Collection infringes your copyright, tell us and we’ll act on it — the notice process, and how to file a counter-notice if your work was removed by mistake, is set out in ourcopyright & DMCA policy. We remove infringing material and, where appropriate, suspend accounts that repeatedly infringe.
Acceptable use
Don’t upload networks that contain malware, that reach out to harm other systems, or that are designed to deceive or attack people who copy them. Contributed networks are scanned for capabilities and unsafe operators, and clipboard copies are imported in a sandboxed, default-inert state on the Embody side — but that’s a safety net, not a license to misbehave. Also don’t abuse the service: no scraping at scale, no attempts to break authentication or anti-abuse protections, no spam, harassment, or illegal content. We may remove content and suspend accounts that break these rules.
Copying and remixing
Specimens are here to be used. When you copy one, honor its license — typically that means crediting the original author when you share work built on it. Attribution is shown on every specimen so you know whom to credit.
The software is open source
The Embody extension and Envoy MCP server are distributed under the MIT license. Your use of that software is governed by theMIT licensein the repository, not by these terms. These terms cover your use of this website and the hosted Collection.
No warranty
The site and the Collection are provided “as is,” without warranties of any kind. We don’t guarantee that any specimen is correct, safe for your project, or fit for a particular purpose — inspect what you copy before you run it. To the fullest extent allowed by law, TEC and the project maintainers are not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the site or its content.
Your responsibility
You’re responsible for what you publish and what you do here. To the extent the law allows, you agree to cover TEC and the project maintainers for any third-party claim, loss, or expense that arises from content you upload or from your breach of these terms — for instance, a claim that something you published infringes someone’s rights. We’ll tell you about any such claim and won’t settle it in a way that admits fault on your behalf without asking you first. None of this limits rights you have as a consumer that can’t be waived under your local law.
Termination
You can stop using the site and delete your account at any time (email us to remove it). We may suspend or terminate access if you break these terms. Sections that by their nature should survive — ownership, licenses already granted, indemnity, and the no-warranty and liability terms — continue to apply after termination.
Governing law and disputes
These terms are governed by the laws of the State ofCalifornia, in the United States, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules, and any dispute we can’t resolve by email first will be handled by the state or federal courts located in California. If you’re a consumer, none of this strips you of the mandatory protections of the law where you live — EU and UK consumers, for example, keep the rights and the local forum their own law guarantees.
Changes
We may revise these terms as the project grows. When we do, we’ll update the date above, and material changes will be noted in the project changelog. Continuing to use the site after a change means you accept the revised terms.
