TEMPLATE COMPLIANCE

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Effective Date: June 27, 2026

These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") are a legally binding agreement between you and TemplateCompliance.com ("TemplateCompliance.com," "Company," "we," "us," or "our") governing your access to and use of the TemplateCompliance.com website, platform, content, subscriptions, digital products, downloadable forms, document templates, educational materials, newsletters, and related products or services (collectively, the "Services"). By accessing or using any part of the Services, creating an account, purchasing a template, purchasing a subscription, downloading content, or clicking to accept these Terms, you agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not access or use the Services.

IMPORTANT DISPUTE NOTICE: THESE TERMS CONTAIN A BINDING ARBITRATION AGREEMENT, A CLASS ACTION WAIVER, A JURY TRIAL WAIVER, A MASS ARBITRATION / BATCH ARBITRATION PROTOCOL, AND A REQUIREMENT THAT MOST DISPUTES BE BROUGHT ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. PLEASE READ SECTION 19 CAREFULLY, AS IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS.

1. Eligibility and Authority

You must be at least 18 years old and capable of forming a binding contract to use the Services. If you use the Services on behalf of a business or other entity, you represent and warrant that you have authority to bind that entity, and in that case "you" includes both you and that entity.

2. Scope of Services

TemplateCompliance.com provides general informational, educational, and self-help materials, including legal and business templates, HR-related forms and training materials, onboarding and offboarding materials, employee handbooks, commercial contracts, workflow documents, and subscription access to related resources. The Services may also include updates, resource libraries, implementation notes, drafting commentary, checklists, sample clauses, and support content.

We may modify, suspend, discontinue, replace, or limit any part of the Services at any time, with or without notice, to the fullest extent permitted by law. We do not guarantee that any particular template, subscription feature, download, category, or content library will remain available for any specific period.

3. No Legal Advice; No Attorney-Client Relationship

The Services provide general information, sample forms, educational materials, and self-help tools only. The Services do not constitute legal advice, do not create an attorney-client relationship, do not create a fiduciary relationship, and are not a substitute for advice from a licensed attorney who can assess the facts, jurisdiction, industry, and risk profile of a specific situation.

No communication through the Services, by email, through any intake form, support channel, newsletter, membership portal, or downloadable material creates an attorney-client relationship unless a separate written engagement agreement is signed by both sides expressly creating one. Communications with TemplateCompliance.com are not necessarily protected by the attorney-client privilege, work-product doctrine, or any similar protection.

You are solely responsible for determining whether any template, clause, process, workflow, policy, training, handbook, or legal form is appropriate for your particular facts, business, workforce, jurisdiction, or compliance obligations. If you need legal advice tailored to your situation, you should consult a qualified attorney licensed in the relevant jurisdiction.

4. Account Registration and Security

Some features may require an account. You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information and to keep it updated. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for all activities that occur under your account.

You may not impersonate another person, use false identity information, create an account for someone else without authority, or permit unauthorized sharing of your account or subscription. We may suspend or terminate accounts that appear misleading, fraudulent, abusive, duplicative, automated without permission, or otherwise inconsistent with these Terms.

5. Purchases, Subscriptions, Trials, and Auto-Renewal

Certain Services are offered for a one-time fee, and other Services are offered on a recurring subscription basis. By purchasing a subscription, starting a paid trial, or enrolling in an automatically renewing plan, you authorize us and our payment processors to charge your designated payment method for all applicable fees, taxes, renewals, upgrades, downgrades, overages, and other authorized charges.

Unless otherwise expressly stated at the point of purchase, subscriptions automatically renew for the same renewal term at the then-current price until canceled. If a free or discounted trial converts into a paid plan, the conversion will occur automatically at the end of the trial period unless you cancel before renewal. It is your responsibility to manage your subscription and cancel before renewal if you do not want future charges.

We may change prices, packaging, features, benefits, usage limits, and subscription structures prospectively. We may also change billing dates, collection methods, processors, or retry practices. If your payment method is declined, expires, or cannot be charged, we may suspend access, downgrade your plan, retry payment, or terminate access.

6. Refunds and Chargebacks

Except where required by applicable law or expressly stated in writing, all sales are final and non-refundable. Because the Services involve immediate access to digital products, downloadable templates, subscription content, and other information goods, you understand and agree that access may begin immediately upon purchase and that refunds may be limited or unavailable once access is granted.

If you believe there was a billing error or technical delivery failure, you must contact us promptly at legalresearcher843@gmail.com with sufficient detail for review. We reserve the right, but not the obligation, to offer a credit, replacement, partial refund, or other accommodation in our sole discretion. Improper chargebacks, payment reversals, or payment disputes may result in account suspension, termination, collections activity, denial of future purchases, or additional fees to the extent permitted by law.

7. License and Permitted Use

Subject to your compliance with these Terms and payment of all applicable fees, TemplateCompliance.com grants you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable license to access and use the Services and to download purchased templates solely for your own internal personal or business use.

Unless a product page, separate license, or express written authorization states otherwise, you may not:

resell, repackage, redistribute, sublicense, share, publish, or commercially exploit our templates or subscription content as stand-alone products;
post our templates, clauses, or paid content to a public website, shared drive, marketplace, training portal, AI dataset, or document bank;
permit multiple unrelated users or entities to use a single-user subscription;
remove proprietary notices, branding, metadata, or digital rights controls;
use the Services to build or train a competing template library, legal-product database, or automated document-generation service;
use bots, crawlers, scrapers, spiders, or automated means to access, extract, index, or monitor the Services without express written permission; or
copy the expressive selection, arrangement, organization, drafting notes, or compilation of our materials except as expressly allowed by applicable law.

A purchased template may generally be modified by you for your own use, but any such modification is at your sole risk, and no representation is made that modified or unmodified templates will be enforceable, complete, current, or suitable for your circumstances.

8. Intellectual Property Rights

The Services, including all text, software, formatting, design, graphics, logos, compilations, instructional content, commentary, branding, downloadable materials, libraries, curation, and selection and arrangement of content, are owned by or licensed to TemplateCompliance.com and are protected by copyright, trademark, trade secret, and other intellectual property laws.

Except for the limited license expressly granted in these Terms, no right, title, or interest in the Services or any content is transferred to you. All rights not expressly granted are reserved. TemplateCompliance.com and related names, logos, slogans, and branding are our trademarks or trade dress, and may not be used without prior written consent.

9. User Content and Feedback

If you submit reviews, comments, suggestions, feedback, questions, support requests, testimonials, or other content to us (collectively, "User Submissions"), you represent that you have the right to do so and that your submission does not violate any law or third-party right. You remain responsible for your User Submissions.

By providing User Submissions, you grant TemplateCompliance.com a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, sublicensable license to use, host, reproduce, adapt, modify, display, distribute, publish, and create derivative works from those User Submissions for operating, improving, promoting, documenting, supporting, and providing the Services, except to the extent prohibited by applicable law or inconsistent with our Privacy Policy.

10. Prohibited Conduct

You agree not to, directly or indirectly:

use the Services in violation of any law, regulation, court order, or third-party right;
use the Services to commit fraud or to create false, deceptive, discriminatory, retaliatory, or unlawful materials;
upload viruses, malicious code, or harmful content;
interfere with the operation, security, or integrity of the Services;
attempt to gain unauthorized access to accounts, systems, or data;
copy, scrape, harvest, mine, or extract content or data from the Services without authorization;
misuse any training, handbook, HR, compliance, employment, or contract materials in a way that violates employment, privacy, wage-hour, anti-discrimination, consumer-protection, or other applicable laws;
use the Services where your matter is illegal, fraudulent, abusive, or in a jurisdiction where such use is prohibited; or
encourage or assist any other person to do any of the foregoing.

11. Educational and Compliance Disclosures

Templates and training materials are intended to reflect general drafting conventions and common business practices, but laws change frequently and may differ by jurisdiction, industry, worker category, bargaining status, company size, and factual context. HR materials in particular may implicate wage-hour, leave, anti-discrimination, accommodation, privacy, arbitration, handbook, trade secret, and restrictive covenant rules that vary significantly.

No statement on the Services should be understood as a promise that any document, policy, handbook, contract, arbitration agreement, class action waiver, training, or compliance protocol is enforceable in every jurisdiction or under every fact pattern. You are solely responsible for obtaining legal review where appropriate.

12. Third-Party Services and Links

The Services may contain links to third-party websites, tools, payment processors, embedded software, platforms, or resources. We do not control or endorse third-party services and are not responsible for their content, policies, availability, acts, omissions, or security practices.

Your use of any third-party service is at your own risk and may be subject to separate terms and privacy policies. We are not a party to your agreements with third parties unless expressly stated otherwise.

13. Electronic Communications

By using the Services, creating an account, or providing contact information, you consent to receive electronic communications from us, including legally required notices, subscription notices, renewal notices, disclosures, updates, account messages, and transactional emails. You agree that electronic communications satisfy any legal requirement that such communications be in writing.

You may opt out of marketing emails using the unsubscribe mechanism in those emails, but you may not opt out of account, billing, legal, transactional, security, or other non-marketing communications related to your use of the Services.

14. Termination and Suspension

We may suspend, restrict, downgrade, or terminate your access to any or all of the Services, with or without notice, at any time, for any reason or no reason, to the fullest extent permitted by law, including if we believe you violated these Terms, created legal risk, engaged in misuse, infringed intellectual property, abused refunds or chargebacks, or used the

Services in a way that could harm us, other users, or third parties.

Upon termination, your license to use the Services ends immediately, but provisions that by their nature should survive will survive, including provisions relating to payments, intellectual property, disclaimers, limitations of liability, indemnity, dispute resolution, and class action waiver.

15. Disclaimers of Warranties

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS," "AS AVAILABLE," AND "WITH ALL FAULTS" BASIS. TemplateCompliance.com DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, QUIET ENJOYMENT, ACCURACY, CURRENCY, AVAILABILITY, SECURITY, OR THAT THE SERVICES WILL MEET YOUR NEEDS.

WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT ANY TEMPLATE, CLAUSE, DOCUMENT, HANDBOOK, POLICY, TRAINING, CHECKLIST, OR SUBSCRIPTION CONTENT WILL BE LEGALLY SUFFICIENT, ENFORCEABLE, ERROR-FREE, COMPLETE, CURRENT, COMPLIANT, OR APPROPRIATE FOR YOUR JURISDICTION, INDUSTRY, WORKFORCE, FACTS, OR RISK TOLERANCE.

SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW CERTAIN DISCLAIMERS, SO SOME OR ALL OF THE ABOVE DISCLAIMERS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU TO THE EXTENT PROHIBITED BY LAW.

16. Limitation of Liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, TemplateCompliance.com AND ITS OWNERS, AFFILIATES, LICENSORS, SERVICE PROVIDERS, PROCESSORS, CONTRACTORS, AGENTS, AND REPRESENTATIVES SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE, OR ENHANCED DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, BUSINESS, GOODWILL, DATA, USE, SAVINGS, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE SERVICES OR THESE TERMS, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF TemplateCompliance.com ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICES OR THESE TERMS SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF: (A) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS (US $100), OR (B) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID TO TemplateCompliance.com FOR THE SPECIFIC SERVICE GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO LIABILITY.

NOTHING IN THESE TERMS EXCLUDES LIABILITY THAT CANNOT BE EXCLUDED OR LIMITED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW.

17. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless TemplateCompliance.com and its owners, affiliates, licensors, contractors, service providers, payment processors, successors, assigns, and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, and representatives from and against any and all claims, demands, actions, investigations, liabilities, damages, judgments, settlements, penalties, losses, costs, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising out of or relating to: (a) your use of the Services; (b) your violation of these Terms; (c) your violation of any law or regulation; (d) your infringement or misappropriation of any intellectual property, privacy, publicity, or other rights; (e) your documents, business practices, employment practices, or downstream use of any template or training; or (f) any dispute between you and any employee, contractor, customer, agency, regulator, or other third party.

We reserve the right, at your expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter subject to indemnification by you, and you agree to cooperate with our defense of such claims.

18. Governing Law and Forum for Non-Arbitrable Matters

These Terms and any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services are governed by the Federal Arbitration Act where applicable and, except to the extent preempted by federal law or inconsistent with mandatory consumer protections, by the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.

If a dispute is found not subject to arbitration, or if a court determines that a particular claim or remedy may proceed in court notwithstanding Section 19, then, to the fullest extent permitted by law, such proceeding must be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Alameda County, California, and each party consents to personal jurisdiction and venue there. If applicable law prohibits exclusive venue in that forum for a particular consumer claim, then that claim may be brought only in a court of competent jurisdiction as required by law.

19. Binding Individual Arbitration; Class Action Waiver; Jury Trial Waiver

19.1 Scope of Arbitration Agreement

To the fullest extent permitted by law, you and TemplateCompliance.com agree that any and all disputes, claims, or controversies arising out of or relating in any way to the Services, these Terms, any prior or future version of these Terms, your account, any purchase, subscription, renewal, charge, refund request, template, content, training, communication, advertising, privacy practice, marketing statement, legal disclaimer, or relationship between you and TemplateCompliance.com (collectively, "Disputes") shall be resolved exclusively by final and binding individual arbitration, except for the limited exceptions expressly stated below.

This Arbitration Agreement is intended to be interpreted broadly and survives termination of these Terms, termination of your account, completion of any purchase, and any bankruptcy or insolvency to the extent permitted by law.

19.2 Covered and Excluded Claims

Covered Disputes include contract, tort, statutory, regulatory, equitable, consumer-protection, privacy, advertising, subscription, auto-renewal, billing, fraud, misrepresentation, intellectual property, unfair competition, and any claims based on federal, state, or local law, whether arising before, on, or after the effective date of these Terms.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following are excluded from mandatory arbitration to the limited extent stated:

either party may bring an individual claim in small claims court if the claim qualifies and remains there;
either party may seek temporary, preliminary, or emergency equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent actual or threatened misuse of intellectual property, confidential information, account credentials, or website security, without waiving arbitration of the underlying merits;
disputes that applicable law expressly prohibits from mandatory pre-dispute arbitration may proceed only to the extent such prohibition is not preempted and only to the minimum extent required by law.

19.3 Mandatory Informal Dispute Resolution

Before initiating arbitration or any court proceeding permitted by these Terms, the party asserting a Dispute must first send a written Notice of Dispute to legalresearcher843@gmail.com. The Notice must include the claimant's name, contact information, account email (if any), a description of the Dispute, the factual basis of the claim, the relief requested, and the claimant's personally signed statement certifying that the information is true and correct.

The parties shall then attempt in good faith to resolve the Dispute informally for at least sixty (60) days after a complete Notice of Dispute is received. During that period, either party may request an individualized settlement conference by phone or videoconference, and both parties shall personally participate, with counsel if desired. No arbitration may be filed before the end of the informal resolution period, and a court or arbitrator may enforce this requirement, including by staying, dismissing, or enjoining a prematurely filed claim.

19.4 Arbitration Provider, Rules, and Seat

Unless the parties agree otherwise in writing, arbitration shall be administered by JAMS before a single neutral arbitrator under the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures, except that if the Dispute qualifies as a consumer arbitration, the applicable JAMS consumer rules and minimum standards shall apply to the extent required by law. If JAMS is unavailable, unwilling, or unable to administer the arbitration consistent with these Terms, the parties shall work in good faith to select another reputable arbitration provider, and if they cannot agree, a court of competent jurisdiction shall appoint the provider.

Unless otherwise required by applicable law, the arbitration shall be conducted in English and may be held by videoconference, on written submissions, in Alameda County, California, or in the county of your residence if required by applicable consumer law or the administrator's rules. The arbitrator shall apply the same statutes of limitation, privileges, burden of proof rules, and substantive law that a court of competent jurisdiction would apply.

19.5 Individual Arbitration Only; No Class, Collective, Mass, or Representative Proceedings

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, YOU AND TemplateCompliance.com AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF, CLAIMANT, CLASS MEMBER, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL, RELATOR, OR REPRESENTATIVE IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, COLLECTIVE, COORDINATED, CONSOLIDATED, MASS, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.

The arbitrator shall have no authority to conduct or preside over any class, collective, coordinated, consolidated, mass, or representative action, to combine or join the claims of different persons, or to award relief to anyone other than the individual party seeking relief, except to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party's individual claim.

If any part of this Section 19.5 is found unenforceable as to a particular claim or request for relief, then that claim or request for relief, and only that claim or request for relief, shall be severed and may proceed in court to the minimum extent required by law, after the arbitrable claims have been resolved.

19.6 Batch / Mass Arbitration Protocol

If twenty-five (25) or more claimants represented by the same counsel or coordinated counsel submit Notices of Dispute or commence arbitrations raising similar factual or legal issues within a ninety (90) day period, then, to the fullest extent permitted by law, those claims shall be administered in staged batches of up to fifty (50) claimants per batch, unless the administrator requires a different batch size. Only one batch may be filed, processed, or heard at a time, and the statute of limitations shall be tolled for claims not yet filed into an active batch during the mandatory informal process and batching process.

Each batch shall be resolved as a separate arbitration before one arbitrator, using one set of procedural schedules and, where appropriate, one merits hearing for common issues and individualized submissions as needed. Nothing in this Section authorizes class arbitration. If this batch protocol is found unenforceable for a particular claimant or group of claimants, it shall be severed only as to them, and the remaining arbitration provisions shall remain enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

19.7 Arbitration Fees, Remedies, and Authority

The arbitrator may award any individual remedy that would be available in court under applicable law, except to the extent limited by these Terms. Each party shall bear its own attorneys' fees except where a statute, contract, or applicable arbitration rule requires otherwise. Filing, administrative, and arbitrator fees shall be allocated under the applicable provider rules, except to the extent those rules are inconsistent with mandatory law.

The arbitrator shall have authority to rule on all issues except where these Terms expressly reserve a question for a court of competent jurisdiction. The arbitrator's award shall be in writing and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.

19.8 Delegation and Court Issues

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the arbitrator, and not any court, shall decide all issues relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, formation, and scope of this arbitration agreement, including any claim that all or any part of it is void or voidable, except that a court of competent jurisdiction shall decide: (a) whether the class, collective, mass, coordinated, consolidated, or representative waiver is enforceable; (b) whether the mandatory informal dispute resolution procedure has been satisfied; and (c) requests for provisional equitable relief.

19.9 Opt-Out

You may opt out of this arbitration agreement by sending a written opt-out notice to legalresearcher843@gmail.com within thirty (30) days after you first accept these Terms. The notice must include your full name, mailing address, email address, and a clear statement that you wish to opt out of arbitration. If you validly opt out, neither you nor TemplateCompliance.com will be bound by this Section 19, but all other Terms will remain in effect. An opt-out applies only to the person or entity that timely opts out and does not affect any prior or other arbitration agreement you may have with us.

19.10 Jury Trial Waiver

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IF FOR ANY REASON A DISPUTE PROCEEDS IN COURT RATHER THAN IN ARBITRATION, YOU AND TemplateCompliance.com EACH KNOWINGLY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL.

20. Changes to These Terms

We may revise these Terms from time to time. The updated version will be posted on the Services with a revised effective date. Your continued access to or use of the Services after the revised Terms become effective constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms, except to the extent applicable law requires additional notice or consent.

If we make a material change to the arbitration provisions in Section 19, we will provide notice as required by applicable law. You may reject a material change to Section 19 by discontinuing use of the Services and sending written notice of rejection to legalresearcher843@gmail.com within thirty (30) days after the change becomes effective. In that event, the most recent version of Section 19 that you accepted will continue to govern any Dispute between you and us.

21. Miscellaneous

These Terms, together with any incorporated policies, product-specific terms, licenses, or checkout disclosures, constitute the entire agreement between you and TemplateCompliance.com regarding the Services and supersede prior or contemporaneous communications on the same subject matter.

If any provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, that provision shall be enforced to the maximum extent permitted by law and the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect. No waiver of any provision shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver. You may not assign these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, or sale of assets.

No agency, partnership, joint venture, employment, fiduciary, or franchise relationship is created by these Terms or your use of the Services.
