The Effort Edit provides general educational information and practical tools.
Our content is not legal, financial, medical, employment, human-resources, cybersecurity, tax, or other licensed professional advice.
You are responsible for obtaining appropriate professional guidance when a situation requires specialized expertise.
Workplace Use and Confidentiality
You are responsible for following your employer’s policies, contractual obligations, confidentiality requirements, data-handling standards, and approved-tool rules.
Do not place confidential, proprietary, personal, regulated, customer, employee, financial, legal, or otherwise sensitive information into an artificial-intelligence tool unless you are authorized to do so.
The Effort Edit is not responsible for information you submit to third-party AI platforms or other external services.
Human Review Required
Artificial-intelligence tools can produce inaccurate, incomplete, misleading, biased, outdated, or invented information.
You are responsible for reviewing and verifying all generated output before using, sharing, publishing, presenting, or relying on it.
The Effort Edit does not make decisions on your behalf. You remain responsible for your communications, recommendations, commitments, actions, and outcomes.

We do not control those services and are not responsible for their:

Your use of a third-party service is also governed by that provider’s terms and policies.
Website Availability
We may update, suspend, replace, or discontinue website features, products, or content at any time.
We do not guarantee that the website or downloads will always be uninterrupted, error-free, or available on every device.
Disclaimer of Warranties
To the extent permitted by law, the website and products are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis.
The Effort Edit disclaims warranties that are not expressly stated, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.
Some jurisdictions do not allow certain warranty exclusions, so portions of this section may not apply to you.
Limitation of Liability
To the extent permitted by law, The Effort Edit will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages arising from your use of—or inability to use—the website, products, prompts, AI tools, or third-party services.
To the extent permitted by law, The Effort Edit’s total liability relating to a purchase will not exceed the amount you paid for the product giving rise to the claim.
Nothing in these Terms excludes liability that cannot legally be excluded.
Termination
We may restrict or terminate access to our website or products when we reasonably believe these Terms have been violated, fraud has occurred, or our systems, business, customers, or rights are at risk.
Termination does not grant permission to retain, distribute, or continue using materials in violation of the applicable license.
Governing Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Washington, United States, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.
Any dispute will be subject to the courts with appropriate jurisdiction in Washington, except where applicable law requires otherwise.
Mandatory Consumer Rights
Nothing in these Terms or our policies limits any consumer right, remedy, warranty, cancellation right, conformity right, or protection that cannot legally be waived under the laws of your country, state, or province of residence.
If a mandatory consumer law conflicts with these Terms, that law will apply only to the extent of the conflict.
International Purchases
The Effort Edit is based in the United States.
Customers outside the United States may have additional statutory rights under the laws of their country of residence. These Terms, our Refund & Digital Delivery Policy, and any limitations or exclusions apply only to the extent permitted by applicable law.
Customers are responsible for currency-conversion charges or other fees imposed by their payment provider, except for taxes or obligations that applicable law requires The Effort Edit to collect or administer.
Severability
If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in effect.
Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms as our website, products, business, or legal obligations change.
The effective date at the top of the page shows when the Terms were last updated. Your continued use of the website after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
The terms in effect at the time of a product purchase will govern that purchase unless applicable law requires otherwise.
