Terms of Service and Subscription Agreement

1. Agreement; acceptance; orders

This Agreement governs access to Seller's website, Florida and federal legislative reporting, alerts, impact memoranda, and related reporting services (collectively, the "Services"). "Subscriber" means the individual or legal entity purchasing a Service. "User" includes a Subscriber and each authorized account user. A person accepting for an entity represents that the person has authority to bind that entity.

A purchase requires affirmative acceptance of this Agreement at Stripe Checkout and the applicable order summary ("Order"). Recurring billing requires express informed consent to the disclosed recurring charge, recorded separately from promotional-email choices. An Order must state the plan, deliverables, seats, price, taxes or their calculation method, billing interval, first charge date, renewal terms, and cancellation method before payment information is collected. Seller shall provide a retainable confirmation identifying the accepted version of this Agreement. Account creation, authenticated access, and licensed downloads shall require affirmative assent. Merely browsing the website does not authorize a charge or by itself establish assent to payment or other contractual obligations. A person relying on the optional quotation license must comply with that license's conditions; rights available without that license are unaffected.

An executed Business Order may vary price, scope, delivery, seats, and redistribution rights only by expressly identifying the variation. It may not override editorial independence, legal compliance, third-party license rights, or nonwaivable consumer protections. No purchase order, subscriber instruction, or proposed term binds Seller without Seller's written acceptance. Users must be at least 18 years old and legally able to contract.

Subscriptions are offered to purchasers in the United States only, beginning with Florida. Seller may decline or cancel an order from a jurisdiction that has not been cleared for sale.

2. Independent reporting; no legal advice or lobbying

The Services are journalistic research, reporting, and commentary. They are not legal, tax, investment, or other professional advice. Seller does not act as an attorney, law firm, fiduciary, or legal representative. No attorney-client relationship or privilege arises from a purchase or communication. Legislative and constitutional analysis expresses research judgments, not a legal opinion for a Subscriber's particular circumstances. Users shall obtain advice from their own licensed professionals before acting.

Seller does not lobby or advocate for any Subscriber. Seller shall not accept an engagement to influence a government decision, obtain an official's goodwill, arrange access, communicate a Subscriber's position to officials, draft client advocacy for governmental delivery, or coordinate a lobbying campaign. Custom alerts, impact memoranda, and on-request sponsor deep dives shall remain independent analysis, not representation or persuasion services. No User may represent that Seller is the User's lobbyist, agent, counsel, or advocate. An authorized recipient's independent use of reporting does not create such authority. A request crossing this boundary shall be declined or suspended pending legal review; a disclaimer does not authorize regulated activity.

3. Editorial independence; prohibited purchaser control

Seller retains exclusive control over findings, conclusions, wording, verification, corrections, and publication decisions. No Subscriber, sponsor, advertiser, intermediary, or other purchaser acquires a right, by payment or otherwise, to change, suppress, delay, veto, approve, or obtain advance review of findings. Seller shall not sell such a right, accept payment conditioned on its exercise, or enter an agreement that grants it. An Order or instruction purporting to do so is ineffective and shall be rejected.

A purchaser may identify a topic, public record, business-impact question, or suspected factual error. Seller shall independently evaluate the material. A purchaser may not select the required outcome or require omission of contrary evidence. Payment purchases the stated research and access, not favorable treatment or a promised adverse finding. Seller shall disclose material financial relationships relevant to coverage and separate advertising from reporting.

A final subscription report or impact memorandum delivered through its designated publication channel is a finished publication, not a draft for buyer approval. No purchaser receives a prepublication editorial-review or embargo privilege. A subject who is also a purchaser may receive the same limited factual questions or allegations offered to other subjects for accuracy and response, but no complete draft, findings-approval right, or preferential treatment. Any editorial delay for verification, safety, law, or reply shall be independently determined and documented, never sold.

4. Plans and deliverables

Both plans include full reports on Florida House and Senate bills and on U.S. Congress bills. Bills are checked daily, and subscribers receive each report the day it is finished. Both plans include access to every report published during the paid term, and download is allowed while the subscription is active. Access ends when the subscription ends, except for copies already lawfully downloaded under this Agreement. Prices are in U.S. dollars. There is no trial, introductory price, or first-renewal discount. The annual price is set at ten months of the corresponding monthly price. Renewal is at the same price then in effect as disclosed at checkout and in any required renewal notice, unless a lawful price-change notice has been given as provided in Section 11.

Newsroom and Watchdog. Access for the named Subscriber and five named seats; internal research; limited public quotation under Section 7; running sponsor files; a citation license with credit; and on-request sponsor deep dives. Price: $199 per month or $1,990 per year.

Business and Government Affairs ("Business"). Everything in Newsroom and Watchdog, for the named Subscriber and ten named seats, plus industry and keyword alerts; client impact memos on bills that touch the Subscriber; a weekly digest; and the white-label rights in Section 8. Price: $799 per month or $7,990 per year.

Features not listed in the Order are excluded. No promise is made that a bill will receive an amendment, hearing, vote, enactment, or particular outcome. "Custom alerts" means monitoring the agreed topics and sources, not guaranteed instantaneous notice or exhaustive coverage. Seller shall not advertise coverage as complete unless it can substantiate that representation. Seller shall not materially reduce prepaid scope without offering a reasonable substitute accepted by Subscriber or a refund for the undelivered portion.

5. Accounts and sharing

Each seat is for one named individual. Users shall not share passwords, reuse a seat concurrently, distribute login links, provide access to an affiliate or client outside the Order, or resell account access. A Business administrator may reassign a departing employee's seat to a replacement, with no overlapping access. Subscriber is responsible for authorized users' compliance and shall promptly report suspected compromise. Subscriber is not responsible for unauthorized access caused by Seller's failure to meet its own legal or contractual duties.

6. Ownership; baseline redistribution rules

Seller owns and claims copyright in the reports, the website, and related original materials, including drafts prepared with artificial-intelligence tools and any human edits, as company work product. Seller retains rights in its original analysis, original prose, original graphics, and protectable selection and arrangement ("Seller Content"). Seller does not claim ownership of public-domain materials, independently usable facts, or third-party material merely because they appear in a report.

Subject to payment and this Agreement, Seller grants a nonexclusive, nontransferable license to access and use Seller Content within the purchased scope. Newsroom and Watchdog Users may retain downloaded reports for their own internal research and circulate them only among purchased seats. They may not republish full reports, circulate them to an entire newsroom without corresponding seats, syndicate them, create a substitute paid feed, or distribute them to clients except under Sections 7 or 8. Affiliates are separate recipients unless expressly included.

Business Users may internally share reports within purchased seats and furnish only the white-label deliverables authorized under Section 8 to the recipients specified in this Agreement or the Order. Other full-report redistribution requires an express written license. Lawfully downloaded internal copies and lawfully issued white-label copies may remain as dated historical records after the subscription ends; no new distribution, updates, or platform access is included after expiration. Correction and source-notice duties continue. These restrictions do not narrow Section 9 or any use allowed without Seller's permission.

Compelled disclosure under public-records law, subpoena, or other law is not a breach. Where lawful, the disclosing User shall give Seller reasonable notice and preserve source and version information. No confidentiality or license term authorizes withholding a legally public government record.

7. Public citation-with-credit license

Any person, including a nonsubscriber, may quote from a lawfully obtained report up to the lesser of 200 words or 10 percent of that report's Seller Content, in aggregate per report, for commentary, reporting, education, or criticism. Each use must identify the report title, date, and "American Apex Associates LLC," and include a working link to the original report or its public landing page at https://americanapexassociates.com. Quotations must remain accurate and in context, retain material qualifications, and identify any omission or alteration. No endorsement may be implied. A social post must include credit and a direct source link within that post or its attached source card.

An authorized native share or repost of a public Seller post is permitted; it does not independently authorize wholesale off-platform republication. This permission does not authorize a series of excerpts designed to reconstruct or replace a report, republication of separately licensed graphics, or disclosure of unlawfully obtained material. The numerical limit is a license condition, not a statement of the limits of fair use. Nothing restricts fair use, truthful reviews, criticism, public-domain use, independent reporting of facts, or the broader third-party rights in Section 9.

8. Business white-label license

Only final Business-tier reports, alerts, and impact memoranda, and only those expressly marked "White-label licensed" or identified in a paid Business Order, may be rebranded. The license permits replacement of Seller's cover branding, logo, color scheme, and page design with Subscriber branding; accurate formatting and accessible-format conversion; and distribution of those deliverables to the Subscriber's own clients and readers only, in the Subscriber's own publications and private client briefings only. It does not authorize resale as a competing report service, paid syndication to third-party platforms, or distribution of the underlying research file, unpublished drafts, source databases, account access, or the whole archive. LegiScan attribution and other required source notices shall be kept on every copy.

Subscriber may identify itself as the distributing firm but shall preserve report date, version, source links, methodological limitations, confidence labels, disclaimers, and corrections links. Subscriber shall retain a reasonably prominent provenance notice in substantially this form: "Independent research supplied under license by American Apex Associates LLC; distributed by" followed by the Subscriber's legal name. Removal of front-cover Seller branding does not authorize removal of source attribution, including LegiScan attribution.

Subscriber shall not alter findings, add accusations, remove exculpatory facts, strengthen confidence labels, or omit qualifications while presenting the result as Seller's work. Subscriber-authored additions must be separately headed "Analysis by" followed by the Subscriber's legal name, "not American Apex Associates LLC," and may not create a false implication about Seller's conclusions. Seller's name may not be used to endorse advocacy. Substantive changes to licensed Seller Content require a separately approved, accurately labeled version; Seller may decline them on editorial grounds.

Subscriber may grant approved recipients only a nonexclusive right to read, internally use, and retain the delivered copy, plus Section 7 quotation rights. No recipient may further sublicense Seller Content, resell it as a product, host a report feed, or receive website credentials. A contractor may format authorized deliverables solely for Subscriber under equivalent written restrictions and may not use the content independently. Subscriber remains responsible for its contractors and distribution compliance. Broader syndication requires a separate written license; third-party direct licenses remain unaffected.

Subscriber shall maintain a list of recipients of white-label deliverables, monitor correction notices, and promptly, and ordinarily within two business days of receipt, transmit material corrections or retractions to those recipients. Where lawful, it shall stop further distribution of superseded copies and supply a corrected version. Neither this license nor a fee gives advance review or editorial control.

9. LegiScan and other third-party material; precedence

Identified LegiScan API data and legislative datasets are licensed by LegiScan LLC under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0). Seller's original narrative is not made CC BY merely by incorporating separately identified CC BY data. Users shall retain the applicable notices and source identification when sharing that data, including in a white-label report.

The standard notice shall read, with the specific LegiScan bill or dataset URL, the retrieval date, and a description of any modifications completed at the time of use:

Legislative data: LegiScan API / Legislative Datasets by LegiScan LLC, licensed under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0), https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/. Source: the specific LegiScan bill or dataset URL. Retrieved: the retrieval date. Changes: the actual modifications, retaining prior modification notices. LegiScan material is supplied as-is under the license's disclaimer of warranties. No LegiScan endorsement is implied.

Retain any additional copyright, attribution, license, and disclaimer notices supplied with the licensed material. The legally required license notice shall accompany the relevant report, export, excerpt, or recipient-facing source page, not merely a hidden website footer. A social-media summary using licensed material shall link to a source card or report carrying that attribution, with context-appropriate credit.

Third-party license precedence: No provision on quotation length, attribution removal, redistribution, sublicensing, scraping, AI training, termination, or access controls restricts rights independently granted in identified CC BY material, public-domain materials, or uses otherwise permitted by law. CC BY recipients receive their rights directly from the licensor; Seller does not sublicense or revoke them. Seller shall not apply legal restrictions or effective technological measures that prevent exercise of CC BY rights in licensed material delivered to a recipient. Access security for the paid service must not extinguish those downstream rights. Separate commercial API access terms and limits govern obtaining LegiScan data; this notice does not license LegiScan's website interface, software, trademarks, or all third-party content.

10. Acceptable use; automation and AI

Users shall not compromise security, evade access controls, introduce malware, harass or threaten people, publish private contact details to facilitate abuse, impersonate Seller, submit unlawfully obtained data, remove required source notices, or misrepresent an allegation as an adjudicated finding. The Services shall not be used for employment, credit, insurance, housing, or other consumer eligibility decisions, or marketed as background checks or consumer reports.

Except with Seller's written authorization, Users shall not bulk-extract Seller Content, scrape the paid service, create a substitute database, conduct automated account access, or use Seller Content to train, fine-tune, benchmark, or evaluate an AI or machine-learning model. Ordinary browser use, accessibility tools, and authorized downloads are allowed. Internal searching or analysis of authorized copies is allowed only through tools that do not retain content for model training, expose it to unauthorized recipients, or exceed the purchased license. These restrictions remain subject to Section 9 and uses protected by law; they do not claim exclusive rights in facts or public records. Nothing bars good-faith criticism, honest consumer reviews, complaints to regulators, or reporting suspected unlawful conduct.

11. Prices; Stripe; renewal; cancellation; refunds

Prices and payment. Prices are as stated in Section 4 and as shown in the Order, plus any applicable taxes disclosed at checkout. Stripe Checkout processes payments for Seller; American Apex Associates LLC remains the contracting seller and is responsible for the promised Services and refunds. Users shall enter payment details only through the designated secure checkout. They authorize only the charges affirmatively selected and disclosed. Stripe's applicable payment terms and privacy notices govern its processing. Seller shall not request full card numbers or card security codes through support messages. Card data is processed on Stripe's hosted checkout and does not enter Seller's systems; the Privacy Policy describes the implemented payment-data practices.

Automatic renewal. Unless the Order explicitly states "nonrenewing," a subscription renews for the same billing interval shown at checkout, at its disclosed renewal price, until canceled. Before checkout, Seller shall disclose the initial price, renewal price, interval, cancellation mechanism, and that the subscription renews automatically, next to the purchase control. Consent to renewal may not be prechecked, bundled into marketing consent, or inferred from silence. No trial or introductory-price conversion is offered.

Reminders and price changes. For annual or longer subscriptions renewing for more than one month, Seller shall send a written or electronic renewal reminder between 30 and 60 days before the cancellation deadline, identifying renewal terms and how to cancel. For other intervals Seller shall provide the reminders required by applicable law. A renewal-price increase requires clear notice at least 30 days before the cancellation deadline, or earlier if applicable law requires, and shall not change a prepaid period. If insufficient notice can be given, Seller shall defer the increase or obtain fresh express consent. Other legally required consent shall also be obtained.

Cancellation. Subscriber may cancel renewal at any time through the customer billing portal at https://americanapexassociates.com/account/billing, by using the "Manage or cancel subscription" link provided in the subscription confirmation, or by emailing american.apex.associates@gmail.com. Online enrollment shall have an online cancellation route using the same means and manner, without a mandatory telephone call, interview, fee, or retention pitch. A completed cancellation is effective when submitted and stops subsequent renewal charges, including a charge not yet initiated for the next period. Seller shall promptly confirm cancellation and the paid-through date in a retainable message. Access ordinarily continues through the current paid period. Loss of access to the account does not prevent cancellation through support. Seller shall not charge for a later renewal because it delayed processing a timely request.

Refunds. There are no voluntary refunds once the first report of the billing period has been delivered. Subscriber may cancel anytime as provided above. The current period is not prorated, except where law requires otherwise. Required legal refunds, duplicate or unauthorized-charge corrections, and refunds for Seller's inability to supply the paid service are not waived. After the first report of the term has been delivered, fees for an already supplied period are otherwise nonrefundable except as stated in this section, an Order, or applicable law; cancellation alone does not create an additional prorated refund. Seller shall refund duplicate or unauthorized charges and renewal charges initiated after effective cancellation. Seller shall refund the undelivered portion when Seller permanently discontinues prepaid Services or terminates access without Subscriber's material breach. For a material failure to deliver promised scope, Subscriber may request correction or a proportionate refund at american.apex.associates@gmail.com; if Seller cannot cure within ten business days, it shall refund the affected undelivered portion. These procedures do not shorten legal rights, impose a deadline for asserting a statutory claim, or prevent a payment dispute.

Where an automatic-renewal disclosure or reminder error requires a refund or makes renewal unenforceable, Seller shall provide the legally required remedy, including refunding the unearned portion when applicable; this refund language does not validate an otherwise void renewal provision. Refunds shall be initiated to the original method within ten business days after approval or determination that a mandatory refund is due, subject to a shorter legal deadline; payment-network posting times are outside Seller's control.

Failure to pay an authorized charge may lead to suspension after notice and a reasonable opportunity to update payment. Seller shall not continue charging for renewal following cancellation or its own permanent termination of access. Any payment retry must remain within the original authorization and applicable law.

12. Subscription alerts and impact memoranda

Custom alerts, impact memoranda, and the weekly digest are included only with the Business plan, within the paid Business Order's stated subscription scope. Unless an Order states a narrower set of topics, Business alerts monitor industry and keyword topics identified with the Subscriber, impact memoranda address bills that touch the Subscriber, and the digest is delivered weekly. A scope request does not create exclusivity, ownership of Seller Content, a work-made-for-hire arrangement, a promised conclusion, advance editorial review, or representation before government. Additional work requires an accepted scope and price change before any additional charge. On-request sponsor deep dives included in a plan remain independent reporting under this Agreement and are not a separate lobbying or advocacy product.

13. Accuracy, limitations, corrections

Reports state their source date, bill version, and research cutoff. Public records, third-party feeds, models, and analytical inferences may contain errors or omissions. Reporting is not a guarantee of completeness, continuous updating, enactment, or a result. Seller shall distinguish documented facts, supported analysis, and unresolved questions and follow its published corrections policy. Seller shall not knowingly publish falsehoods or disregard serious unresolved doubts about accuracy.

Anyone may report an error to american.apex.associates@gmail.com, or through https://americanapexassociates.com/corrections, without subscribing. Seller shall evaluate credible challenges, preserve the publication history, and publish material corrections or retractions conspicuously with dates and explanations. Seller shall notify affected Subscribers and authorized redistributors when a material change could affect reliance. Routine typographical fixes may be made without a substantive correction notice. No disclaimer excuses a knowingly false or unlawful publication. Seller's internal prepublication review does not promise that errors cannot occur.

Reports shall not include minors. A family member may be mentioned only when that person appears in a public official filing tied to the bill. Seller shall not publish a private person's home address and shall use the official district or office address for legislators.

14. Confidential inputs; privacy

The Privacy Policy at https://americanapexassociates.com/privacy describes personal information collected, purposes, service providers including Stripe, retention, security, and rights and choices. No personal-data practice is authorized by this Agreement if inconsistent with applicable law. Users shall not submit passwords, card security codes, protected addresses, minors' details, trade secrets, privileged material, or sensitive personal records unless Seller expressly establishes a lawful and secure intake process. Receipt alone creates no privilege or confidentiality undertaking.

Nonpublic custom inputs shall be used only for the agreed research and lawful operations, and disclosed only to authorized personnel or processors with appropriate protections, as legally required, or as separately authorized. Seller shall not promise confidentiality that would prevent correction of a material falsehood or conceal independently obtained findings. Seller shall identify material confidentiality conflicts before accepting custom work. No User is required to waive a nonwaivable privacy right to obtain cancellation or a refund.

15. Warranty disclaimer

TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, EXCEPT FOR EXPRESS DELIVERY, REFUND, AND OTHER PROMISES IN THIS AGREEMENT, THE SERVICES AND CONTENT ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE." SELLER DISCLAIMS IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. SELLER DOES NOT WARRANT UNINTERRUPTED ACCESS, ERROR-FREE INFORMATION, OR SUITABILITY FOR A PARTICULAR LEGAL, REGULATORY, FINANCIAL, OR ADVOCACY DECISION. NONWAIVABLE WARRANTIES AND STATUTORY RIGHTS REMAIN IN EFFECT.

16. Limitation of liability

TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, SELLER SHALL NOT BE LIABLE TO A CONTRACTING USER FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOST PROFITS, LOST OPPORTUNITIES, OR LOST DATA, ARISING FROM THE SERVICES. SUBJECT TO THE EXCLUSIONS BELOW, SELLER'S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING FROM THE AGREEMENT SHALL NOT EXCEED THE FEES PAID OR PAYABLE BY THE SUBSCRIBER FOR THE AFFECTED SERVICES DURING THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE FIRST EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM. RELATED CLAIMS SHARE ONE CAP.

THE EXCLUSIONS AND CAP DO NOT APPLY TO SELLER'S FRAUD, WILLFUL MISCONDUCT, GROSS NEGLIGENCE, DEATH OR PERSONAL INJURY CAUSED BY SELLER, REFUNDS EXPRESSLY OWED, OR ANY LIABILITY OR REMEDY THAT CANNOT LAWFULLY BE EXCLUDED OR LIMITED. THESE TERMS DO NOT RELEASE OR LIMIT CLAIMS OF NONPARTIES, INCLUDING PEOPLE DISCUSSED IN REPORTS, AND DO NOT LIMIT A REGULATOR'S AUTHORITY. ANY UNENFORCEABLE LIMITATION APPLIES ONLY TO THE LAWFUL EXTENT AND DOES NOT ENLARGE THE OTHER LIMITATIONS.

17. Limited business indemnity

A Subscriber purchasing for business or governmental affairs shall indemnify Seller against third-party claims, reasonable defense expenses, and damages to the extent caused by Subscriber's unlawful supplied material, unauthorized substantive alterations, misuse of Seller's identity, or redistribution outside its license. This obligation excludes claims caused by Seller's own reporting, breach, negligence, or other wrongdoing and does not shift Seller's own defamation liability to Subscriber. It does not apply to an individual purchasing solely for personal use. For a governmental Subscriber, it applies only to the extent lawfully authorized and expressly accepted in its Order.

Seller shall provide prompt notice of a claim and reasonable cooperation. Subscriber may control the defense with competent counsel, subject to Seller's reasonable conflict objections. No settlement may admit fault by Seller, require nonmonetary relief from Seller, impair editorial independence, or leave Seller exposed without Seller's written consent. Seller may participate at its own expense. A delayed notice reduces the obligation only to the extent of actual prejudice. No indemnity applies where prohibited by law.

18. Suspension; termination; survival

Seller may suspend access proportionately to address security threats, unlawful conduct, or material breach, and may terminate for an uncured material breach after written notice and ten business days to cure when cure is practicable. Immediate action may be taken for serious threats, unlawful activity, deliberate rights infringement, or misconduct that cannot reasonably be cured. Subscriber shall receive the reason unless disclosure is unlawful or creates a material security risk. Seller shall not terminate solely for criticism, an unwelcome finding, a good-faith complaint, cancellation, or exercise of a protected right.

Seller may discontinue a Service without cause on 30 days' notice, stop renewal billing, and refund unused prepaid access. Termination for breach does not automatically forfeit money for undelivered work; refunds and any lawful damages shall be determined separately. On termination, account access and rights to make new licensed distributions end, subject to retained historical-copy rights in Section 6. Accrued payment duties, correction obligations, third-party licenses, permitted retained-copy restrictions, disclaimers, indemnity, liability, and dispute provisions survive only as relevant to their purpose. Irrevocable third-party license rights survive independently.

19. Governing law; venue; disputes

Florida law governs this Agreement without displacing mandatory protections of another jurisdiction that cannot lawfully be waived. The parties consent to exclusive venue in the state courts in Clay County, Florida, or, for matters within federal jurisdiction, the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida serving Clay County. No federal courthouse in Clay County is represented to exist. There is no arbitration agreement, class-action waiver, or jury waiver in this Agreement.

A party may notify the other of a dispute at the contact information in this Agreement and attempt good-faith resolution for 30 days. This process does not restrict emergency relief, small-claims remedies, regulator complaints, statutory notices, or compliance with a filing deadline, and does not itself toll any deadline. No damages cap, indemnity, forum clause, or dispute term binds a report subject merely because that subject is named in a report.

20. Copyright notices

Copyright concerns may be directed to american.apex.associates@gmail.com. The website does not offer user-posted content, and no designated DMCA agent has been appointed. Section 512(c) of Title 17 of the United States Code addresses storage at the direction of users and does not immunize Seller's own reports. No safe harbor is represented by this section.

A copyright notice should identify the protected work and the challenged material with its location; provide contact details and a physical or electronic signature; state a good-faith belief that the use is not authorized by the owner, its agent, or law; and state that the information is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, the complainant is authorized to act for the owner. Seller shall route notices promptly for review. Misrepresentations and lawful uses shall be considered, and no notice automatically establishes infringement.

21. Changes; notices; general terms

Seller shall give at least 30 days' advance notice of material changes by account notice and email to affected Subscribers. A change shall not retroactively alter accrued claims, strip an existing license in copies already distributed, diminish prepaid rights, or impose arbitration. For an existing prepaid subscription, a material adverse change takes effect no earlier than the next renewal after adequate notice and any required affirmative consent. Subscriber may cancel renewal before it takes effect. Urgent legally required or protective operational changes may take effect sooner only to the necessary extent, with prompt notice and an appropriate refund if prepaid scope is materially withdrawn.

Notices shall be sent to the addresses designated here or in the account; Seller shall maintain a working support and corrections channel. Service of process and statutory notices remain governed by applicable law. Neither party may transfer this Agreement in a manner that materially impairs the other's rights; Seller may transfer with its business to a successor bound by these duties, with notice and the Privacy Policy's applicable protections. No transfer grants access to confidential inputs beyond lawful purposes. No agency, partnership, or employment relationship is created. Failure to enforce is not waiver. An invalid provision is severed only to the lawful extent, preserving the remainder without defeating mandatory rights. The accepted Agreement and Order form the entire contract for the purchased Services.
