Terms of Service

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of author29.com, related Author29 products, client portals, labs, and any Google authorization you grant to Author29.

By using the site or a connected product, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the services.

If you have a signed proposal, statement of work, or agreement with Author29, that document controls if it conflicts with these Terms on fees, scope, ownership, or delivery.

Author29 is a studio run by Jonathan Evans in Phoenix, Arizona. We build platforms, proposals, and related services for people who own the outcome.

Questions: hello@author29.com.

Author29 may provide:

• The public website, including services, work, labs, and contact
• Personalized outreach pages and booking links
• Private proposal and contract portals
• Software, coaching, analytics, and related client work
• Features that ask you to sign in with Google or grant Google API access

We may change, pause, or discontinue a public feature. Paid client work follows the signed agreement for that engagement.

You must be at least 13 years old. If you use Author29 for a business, you confirm you have authority to bind that business.

You agree not to:

• Break the law or encourage others to
• Probe, disrupt, or overload the site, or try to access accounts, data, or systems you were not given
• Scrape or copy the site in a way that harms the service
• Impersonate Author29 or anyone else
• Use a Google connection to access data you do not have rights to

Proposal and contract links are unguessable, but anyone with the URL can open them. Keep those links private. You are responsible for who you share them with.

Notes, comments, and signatures you submit through a portal are part of the record of that deal. Electronic signatures are intended to be binding where the law allows.

Some products ask you to authorize Author29 through Google. The Google consent screen lists the access we request. We only use that access to provide the feature you turned on, as described in the Privacy Policy.

You can revoke access in your Google Account permissions at any time. Revoking may disable the related feature.

You represent that you have the right to connect any Google account you authorize, including accounts owned by a business you operate.

Paid work is billed as stated in the relevant package, proposal, or signed agreement. Card payments are processed by Stripe. We do not store full card numbers.

Refunds, deposits, and remaining balances follow the signed agreement. If there is none, email hello@author29.com and we will handle it in writing.

The Author29 name, site design, labs, and public content belong to Author29 unless we say otherwise. You may not copy them as your own product.

You keep ownership of materials you send us (briefs, brand assets, data). You grant us a limited license to use them to do the work you asked for.

Ownership of custom software and deliverables is set in the signed agreement for that project. Pre-existing tools, libraries, and generic patterns stay with Author29.

Labs, interactive demos, and sample tools are provided for evaluation. They may be incomplete, fictional in the data they show, or withdrawn without notice. Do not treat them as production software unless a signed agreement says so.

The public site and labs are provided "as is." We do not warrant that they will be uninterrupted, error-free, or fit for a particular purpose, except as a signed agreement states for paid work.

Advice, coaching, and analytics are professional opinions based on what you share. They are not legal, tax, or investment advice.

To the fullest extent allowed by law, Author29 is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost data, or business interruption.

For paid services, Author29's total liability is limited to the fees you paid us for those services in the twelve months before the claim. For use of the public site or a free lab, liability is limited to one hundred U.S. dollars ($100).

You will defend and indemnify Author29 against claims that arise from your misuse of the services, your content, or your violation of these Terms or of someone else's rights, including Google user data you did not have permission to share.

You may stop using the site at any time. We may suspend or end access if you violate these Terms or if we need to protect the service. Paid engagements end as described in the signed agreement. Sections that should survive (including IP, payments owed, disclaimers, and liability) remain in effect.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Arizona, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Courts in Arizona have exclusive jurisdiction, except where applicable law requires otherwise.

We may update these Terms. The date at the top will change when we do. Continued use after an update means you accept the revised Terms. For a signed client agreement, changes to these website Terms do not rewrite that agreement.
