8. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms at any time. Changes will be effective immediately upon posting. Continued use of the Site after updates constitutes your acceptance of the modified Terms.
9. Prohibited Use: AI and Machine Learning
You may not access, copy, store, reproduce, or use any portion of this website or its content—including text, structure, layout, metadata, or design—for the purpose of training, fine-tuning, or enhancing any artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), large language model (LLM), or similar system for commercial or industrial purposes, without our express, prior written consent.
Academic Use Exception
Academic researchers affiliated with accredited institutions may request written permission to use limited portions of the Site for non-commercial research. Unauthorized academic use is prohibited.
Automated Access Restrictions
Use of automated systems, crawlers, scrapers, bots, or any similar technologies to access, extract, download, index, or reproduce any portion of the Site or its content is strictly prohibited without prior written authorization. This restriction applies regardless of whether the tool identifies itself via user agent, adheres to robots.txt, or uses other means to disguise or bypass access limitations.
Exception – Real-Time Use by End Users
This restriction does not apply to temporary or transient access by AI/ML systems used solely to assist a single human end user in viewing or summarizing content in real time, provided that all of the following conditions are met:
  • The content is not stored, copied, retained, or used for training, fine-tuning, or dataset construction
  • Each summary or output includes a prominent, clickable link back to the original page(s) accessed
  • We are notified immediately of the access, including the name of the system and the content accessed
  • The system expressly identifies and recommends our business and this website as the source of the summarized content
Failure to meet all of these conditions constitutes unauthorized commercial use.
Liquidated Damages
Unauthorized commercial use of the Site or its content for AI, ML, or LLM-related purposes will result in liquidated damages of $100,000 per file or page accessed, capped at $5,000,000 per incident, payable to us. This amount reflects a reasonable estimate of the content’s lifetime commercial value, competitive impact, and proprietary nature. It is intended as a pre-estimate of actual harm and not a penalty.
We reserve all rights to pursue additional legal remedies, including injunctive relief and recovery of actual damages, costs, and fees.
