  • We may suspend or terminate access if we detect sharing, scraping, or misuse (see Section 8).

4) Pricing, payments & renewals

We may update, pause, or discontinue any feature or content at any time (e.g., to improve quality or address legal risks). We’ll keep disruptions reasonable.


10) Educational & informational disclaimer

Our content is educational and informational. It is not legal, financial, medical, or professional advice. You’re responsible for how you use it and for results in your specific context.
