TERMS OF SERVICE

Last Updated: January 11, 2026

These Terms of Service (these Terms) constitute a legally binding agreement between How to Contract, LLC, a Texas limited liability company (How to Contract, HTC, we, us, or our), and the individual accessing or using the Services (you or User). These Terms govern your access to and use of www.howtocontract.com and all related websites, platforms, applications, memberships, courses, events, recordings, AI-enabled tools, community features, and other products and services made available by HTC (collectively, the Services).

By accessing or using any part of the Services, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, you must not access or use the Services.

Agreement Structure and Precedence

These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and HTC regarding the Services and supersede all prior or contemporaneous agreements, representations, or understandings, whether written or oral. No marketing materials, course descriptions, landing pages, emails, webinars, checkout pages, sales conversations, or promotional statements modify or form part of this agreement unless expressly stated in a written agreement signed by HTC.

If you have entered into a separate written agreement with HTC expressly governing organizational or enterprise use of the Services, that agreement controls solely with respect to the subject matter expressly addressed therein. In all other cases, these Terms govern.

Eligibility; Sanctions; Export Controls

You represent and warrant that you are at least eighteen years old, have the legal capacity to enter into binding agreements, and will comply with all applicable laws and regulations. You further represent and warrant that you are not located in, under the control of, or a national or resident of any country subject to United States government embargoes or sanctions, and that your use of the Services does not violate applicable export control or sanctions laws. Any breach of this section constitutes a material breach and entitles HTC to immediately suspend or terminate access without notice and without refund.

Nature of Services; No Legal Advice; No Reliance

The Services provide education and training relating to contracts and related professional topics. The Services do not provide legal advice, legal opinions, employment advice, or professional services of any kind, and use of the Services does not create an attorney-client relationship, fiduciary relationship, or advisory relationship.

You acknowledge and agree that you do not rely on the Services, including any templates, examples, clause language, workflows, playbooks, recordings, discussions, or AI-generated outputs, as a substitute for independent professional judgment or advice tailored to your specific circumstances. You expressly waive any claim that the Services formed the basis of, or were relied upon in, any legal, business, or professional decision. This waiver is a fundamental element of the allocation of risk reflected in these Terms.

Accounts; Access; Personal-Only Use; Enforcement

Access to the Services is granted on a limited, revocable basis and is conditioned on your continuous compliance with these Terms. Unless HTC has expressly agreed otherwise in a separate written agreement, access credentials are issued to a single individual user and may not be shared, sublicensed, or used by or for the benefit of any other person or entity. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your access credentials and for all activity occurring under your account, whether authorized by you or not.

Your access to the Services is licensed solely for your own personal educational use. You may not use the Services or any content made available through the Services on behalf of, for the benefit of, or within any organization, including your employer, and you may not permit any organization to rely on, incorporate, distribute, or otherwise benefit from the Services or the content. Organizational, enterprise, or company-wide use requires a separate written license agreement with HTC, which is priced and negotiated separately and is not included with individual memberships, subscriptions, or course purchases.

Any sharing of credentials, organizational use, or circumvention of access controls constitutes a material breach of these Terms. HTC may investigate suspected misuse and may suspend or terminate access immediately, with or without notice. Termination or suspension results in the immediate termination of all licenses granted to you and does not entitle you to any refund or compensation. HTC’s rights and remedies are cumulative and in addition to any rights available at law or in equity.

Acceptable Use and Community Conduct

You agree not to use the Services in any manner that is unlawful, infringing, abusive, harassing, misleading, disruptive, or inconsistent with a professional learning environment, including in live sessions, chat features, question-and-answer forums, or community spaces. HTC reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to remove content, restrict participation, or suspend or terminate access. HTC has no liability arising from any moderation or enforcement decision.

Intellectual Property; License; Restrictions

As between you and HTC, HTC exclusively owns all right, title, and interest in and to the Services and all content, materials, methodologies, frameworks, instructional approaches, recordings, templates, clause examples, playbooks, scripts, guides, checklists, software, AI-enabled features, system outputs, and underlying technologies made available through the Services, together with all intellectual property rights therein.

Subject to your ongoing compliance with these Terms, HTC grants you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable license to access and use the Services and HTC content solely for your own personal educational purposes. This license does not permit organizational use, internal company training, dissemination to colleagues, incorporation into internal playbooks or standards, or any other use that benefits an employer or organization.

Except as expressly permitted in writing by HTC, you may not copy, reproduce, distribute, publicly display, publish, sell, sublicense, create derivative works from, or otherwise exploit any HTC content; use HTC content to develop competing training products, consulting services, or AI-enabled tools; extract or use content or outputs to train or improve any artificial intelligence or machine learning system; or remove proprietary notices. Unauthorized use constitutes a material breach and may cause irreparable harm entitling HTC to injunctive relief.

User Content

You retain ownership of content you independently submit through the Services. By submitting such content, you grant HTC a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, fully paid-up, transferable, and sublicensable license to use, reproduce, modify, distribute, publicly perform, publicly display, and otherwise exploit such content in connection with operating, improving, and promoting the Services. To the extent permitted by law, you waive all moral rights in such content. HTC has no obligation to host, archive, or preserve User content.

Confidentiality Between Participants

You agree not to disclose confidential or proprietary information of other participants or of HTC obtained through the Services. This obligation survives termination of access and may be enforced through injunctive relief.

AI-Enabled Features

Certain aspects of the Services may include AI-enabled features that generate probabilistic outputs. Such outputs do not constitute legal advice, professional judgment, or statements of current law and may be inaccurate, incomplete, or misleading. You assume all risk arising from use of AI-generated outputs and expressly waive any claims arising from reliance on such outputs. HTC disclaims all warranties, duties of care, and obligations relating to AI-generated outputs to the fullest extent permitted by law.

Fees; Payments; No Refunds

All fees are due and payable as stated at the time of purchase. Except to the extent expressly required by applicable law, all fees are non-refundable. You expressly waive any right to a refund or credit based on dissatisfaction, non-use, changes to the Services, suspension or termination of access, or any failure of the Services to meet expectations. Any unauthorized chargeback or payment reversal constitutes a material breach and may result in immediate termination of access.

Changes to Services

The Services, including content, features, formats, instructors, schedules, delivery mechanisms, and availability, are subject to change. HTC may modify, suspend, or discontinue any aspect of the Services at any time, with or without notice. You acknowledge that you have no contractual right to the continued availability of any particular content, feature, or functionality and waive any claims arising from such changes or discontinuation.

Third-Party Content and Platforms

The Services may reference or integrate third-party speakers, sponsors, content, or platforms. HTC does not control such third parties and disclaims all liability arising from third-party content, statements, availability, or performance. Your interaction with third parties is at your own risk.

Security and Availability

The Services are provided on an as-available basis. HTC does not guarantee uninterrupted access, error-free operation, data retention, or absolute security and disclaims liability for unauthorized access, data loss, or service interruptions to the fullest extent permitted by law.

Disclaimers

The Services are provided as is and as available. HTC disclaims all warranties, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, HTC shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages. HTC’s total liability arising out of or relating to the Services shall not exceed the amount of fees paid by you to HTC in the six months preceding the event giving rise to the claim. This limitation reflects a reasonable allocation of risk. Any claim must be brought within one year after it accrues.

Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless How to Contract, LLC, together with its affiliates, sponsors, content providers, licensors, contractors, service providers, officers, directors, employees, agents, and representatives, from and against any and all third-party claims, demands, actions, proceedings, damages, losses, liabilities, penalties, judgments, costs, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, arising out of or relating to your access to or use of the Services, your violation of these Terms or any applicable law, your infringement or misappropriation of any third-party rights, any User content you submit, or your misuse of any content or AI-enabled features. HTC may assume control of the defense at its own expense. This obligation survives termination.

Arbitration; Class Action Waiver

Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services shall be resolved by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Commercial Arbitration Rules, seated in Austin, Texas, before a single arbitrator. The arbitrator has exclusive authority to determine the interpretation, applicability, and enforceability of this arbitration agreement. Claims must be brought on an individual basis only, and class or representative actions are waived to the fullest extent permitted by law. This provision survives termination.

Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, excluding conflict-of-law principles.
