Export & Legal Restrictions.
Ascend Neural, LLC is a United States company registered in Wyoming. Our services — including AI model development, autonomous agents, and software delivered as a service — are subject to the export control, sanctions, and trade laws of the United States. This page explains what those restrictions mean for prospective and existing clients.
Last updated: May 2026
1. Governing law
The provision of our services is subject to United States federal law, including the Export Administration Regulations ("EAR") administered by the Bureau of Industry and Security ("BIS"), and the sanctions programs administered by the Office of Foreign Assets Control ("OFAC") of the U.S. Department of the Treasury.
2. Restricted jurisdictions
We do not provide services to, or accept payments from, individuals, entities, or organizations located in, or owned or controlled by parties from, jurisdictions subject to comprehensive U.S. sanctions, which currently include:
- Cuba
- Iran
- North Korea (DPRK)
- Syria
- The so-called Donetsk People's Republic, Luhansk People's Republic, and Crimea regions of Ukraine
This list reflects U.S. sanctions in effect at the date of last update. Sanctions programs change; the most current authoritative list is published by OFAC at treasury.gov/ofac. The list above is provided for convenience and is not legal advice.
3. Restricted parties
We also do not provide services to any person or entity that appears on any U.S. government denied-party list, including but not limited to OFAC's Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List, the BIS Denied Persons List, Entity List, or Unverified List, or any equivalent list maintained by the United Nations, European Union, or United Kingdom.
4. End-use restrictions
Our services may not be used for, or in support of, any of the following end-uses:
- Design, development, production, stockpiling, or use of nuclear, chemical, or biological weapons, or missiles and unmanned aerial vehicles capable of delivering them.
- Unlawful mass surveillance, social scoring, or systems intended to suppress political dissent or violate internationally recognized human rights.
- Development of autonomous weapons systems prohibited under applicable international or domestic law.
- Any application that violates the laws of the United States, the client's jurisdiction, or the jurisdiction in which the services will be used.
5. Client compliance representations
By engaging Ascend Neural, you represent and warrant that:
- You are not located in, organized under the laws of, or ordinarily resident in a restricted jurisdiction.
- You are not a restricted party and are not owned 50% or more, directly or indirectly, by one or more restricted parties.
- You will not re-export, transfer, or make our services available to any restricted person or for any restricted end-use.
- You will comply with all applicable export, sanctions, anti-corruption, and data-protection laws in your use of our services.
6. Screening
We screen prospective and ongoing clients against U.S. government denied-party lists. We may request additional information (corporate ownership, beneficial owners, intended end-use, end-user) before commencing or continuing an engagement. We reserve the right to decline or terminate any engagement that we determine, in our reasonable discretion, presents an unacceptable compliance risk.
7. Industry-specific restrictions
Certain industries may require additional review or are not currently supported, including: regulated financial services activities for which we are not licensed, healthcare diagnostic systems requiring FDA clearance, fully autonomous decisioning in lending or hiring without human review where prohibited by law, and any activity requiring a U.S. export license we do not hold.
8. Country availability
Outside the restricted jurisdictions in Section 2, we serve clients globally. Some features may be unavailable, delayed, or modified in jurisdictions whose local laws conflict with our compliance obligations. We will inform you in writing before commencing an engagement if local restrictions are likely to affect delivery.
9. Reporting concerns
If you become aware of a potential violation of this policy in connection with our services, contact legal@ascendneurolllc.com. We treat reports confidentially and do not retaliate against good-faith reporters.
10. Changes
U.S. sanctions and export controls change frequently. We update this page when material changes occur, but the authoritative sources remain the published regulations of BIS and OFAC. Clients are responsible for monitoring their own compliance obligations under applicable law.
