Terms of Use
Agreement to these terms
By accessing or using this website (the “Site”), you agree to these Terms of Use (“Terms”). If you do not agree, do not use the Site. We may update these Terms from time to time; the “Last updated” date above will change when we do. Your continued use after changes means you accept the revised Terms.
Who we are
The Site is operated by **[David Benjamin / your legal name or entity]** (“we,” “us,” or “our”). **[Optional: brief description — e.g., official author website for books, articles, and reader contact.]**
Use of the Site
Permitted use
You may use the Site for lawful, personal, non-commercial purposes, such as reading content, learning about publications, and contacting us through provided channels.
Prohibited conduct
You agree not to:
- use the Site in any way that violates applicable law or regulation;
- attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Site, our systems, or other users’ information;
- interfere with or disrupt the Site or servers or networks connected to the Site;
- use automated means (including bots, scrapers, or crawlers) to access the Site in a way that imposes an unreasonable load or bypasses rate limits or security measures, except where public search engines are allowed by standard robots rules;
- upload or transmit viruses, malware, or other harmful code;
- impersonate any person or entity, or misrepresent your affiliation;
- use the contact form or other features to send spam, threats, harassment, or unrelated commercial solicitations.
We may suspend or block access if we reasonably believe these rules are violated.
Intellectual property
Our content
Text, images, graphics, logos, layout, and other materials on the Site (excluding third-party materials or links) are owned by us or our licensors and are protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. You may view and print a reasonable number of copies for personal, non-commercial use, but you may not reproduce, distribute, publicly display, modify, create derivative works from, sell, or exploit our content without our prior written permission, except as allowed by law.
Your feedback
If you send us ideas, suggestions, or feedback, you grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable right to use them for any purpose without obligation to you, unless we agree otherwise in a signed writing.
Third-party services and links
The Site may link to third-party websites, retailers, or services (for example, booksellers or social platforms). Those sites are not under our control; we are not responsible for their content, policies, or practices. Your use of third-party sites is at your own risk and subject to their terms and privacy policies.
Contact form and communications
When you submit information through the contact form or similar features, you represent that the information is accurate to the best of your knowledge and that you have the right to contact us. You agree not to misuse these channels. How we handle personal information is described in our **[Privacy Policy](/legal/privacy-policy)** — adjust that path if your legal slug differs.
Disclaimer of warranties
The Site and all content are provided **“as is”** and **“as available.”** To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Site will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of harmful components.
Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, we and our affiliates, licensors, and service providers will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits, data, goodwill, or other intangible losses, arising from or related to your use of or inability to use the Site.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, our total liability for any claim arising from or related to the Site or these Terms is limited to **the greater of (a) the amount you paid us, if any, for access to the Site in the twelve (12) months before the claim or (b) [USD $100 / your chosen cap]**.
Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations; in those cases, our liability is limited to the maximum permitted by law.
Indemnity
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless us and our affiliates, officers, and agents from any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising from your use of the Site, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any rights of a third party.
Severability
If any provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full force and effect.
Entire agreement
These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Site and supersede any prior understandings on the same subject, except where we provide additional terms for a specific feature and you accept those terms separately.
