Terms & Conditions

1. Agreement, Eligibility, and Authority

1.1 Agreement to These Terms

These Terms & Conditions (“Terms”) are a legally binding agreement between you and Beneglyph Group, LLC concerning your access to and use of beneglyph.com, the Website Content, and the Website Services described in these Terms.

By using an Interactive Website Service, submitting a form accompanied by a required agreement checkbox, completing a direct transaction governed by these Terms, or otherwise affirmatively agreeing to these Terms, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by them and by the Privacy Policy where it applies.

Merely viewing publicly available Website Content does not, by itself, create a professional, advisory, fiduciary, confidential, employment, agency, partnership, or other special relationship.

1.2 Eligibility

Interactive Website Services are intended only for persons who are at least eighteen (18) years old and legally capable of entering into a binding agreement under the laws applicable to them.

You may not use an Interactive Website Service if you do not satisfy both requirements, if your use is prohibited by applicable law, or if Beneglyph Group has lawfully restricted your access.

1.3 Authority to Act for an Organization or Another Person

If you use a Website Service, submit information, accept these Terms, or enter a transaction for a business, organization, government body, trust, estate, or another person, you represent that you have authority to act for and bind that party concerning the matter.

References to “you” include both the individual acting and the represented party to the extent appropriate. An individual who lacks authority does not bind the purported principal and remains responsible for that individual’s own representations and conduct.

1.4 Required Checkbox and Electronic Assent

Where a Website form presents an initially unchecked required checkbox, submission is permitted only after affirmative selection of that checkbox. Beneglyph Group may record the checkbox selection, submission time, form version, and the effective versions or dates of these Terms and the Privacy Policy.

The Receive Updates checkbox includes separate consent to receive the communications described with that form. The General Contact and Strategic Inquiry checkbox does not subscribe the sender to Receive Updates.

1.5 If You Do Not Agree

If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use an Interactive Website Service or complete a direct transaction governed by them. You may continue to view public Website Content only to the extent that such viewing does not otherwise violate these Terms or applicable law.

2. Definitions and Scope

2.1 Defined Terms

For purposes of these Terms:

• “Affiliate” means any current or future entity that directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with Beneglyph Group, including any current or future direct or indirect parent entity, subsidiary, or other entity under common control. “Control” means direct or indirect ownership of more than fifty percent of the voting or comparable ownership interests; authority to appoint or elect a majority of the persons exercising management authority; or power to direct the entity’s management or policies through ownership, agreement, or another lawful arrangement.
• “Beneglyph Group” means Beneglyph Group, LLC. References to “we,” “us,” or “our” refer to Beneglyph Group, LLC unless a provision expressly includes an Affiliate or another Beneglyph Group Party. An Affiliate remains a separate legal entity and does not become a party to these Terms, assume an obligation of Beneglyph Group, or acquire a right under these Terms merely because of affiliation, except as expressly provided in these Terms, a Separate Written Agreement, or applicable law.
• “Interactive Website Service” means a Website Service through which a person submits information, affirmatively accepts terms, subscribes, requests action, initiates a transaction, or otherwise interacts beyond merely viewing public Website Content.
• “Professional Services” means individualized strategic, analytical, advisory, consulting, licensing, research, review, or other professional work undertaken under a Separate Written Agreement.
• “Receive Updates” means the optional email-subscription pathway identified by that name on the Website.
• “Separate Written Agreement” means a written or electronic agreement, proposal, order form, statement of work, license, engagement letter, or similar binding document separately accepted by the applicable parties and governing a specific service, transaction, license, or engagement.
• “Third-Party Service” means a website, application, platform, retailer, bookseller, marketplace, financial institution, payment service, provider, product, content source, or other service not operated and controlled by Beneglyph Group.
• “User Submission” means information, text, documents, materials, feedback, communications, or other content submitted, transmitted, or otherwise provided by or for you through or in connection with a Website Service.
• “Website” means beneglyph.com and the pages and files made available through that domain by Beneglyph Group.
• “Website Content” means text, graphics, marks, images, audio, video, downloads, examples, descriptions, frameworks, interfaces, and other content made available through the Website.
• “Website Services” means the Website and website-related forms, inquiry pathways, Receive Updates, communications, direct transactions, and other features or services that refer or link to these Terms.

2.2 Scope

These Terms govern the public Website, Website Content, Website Services, User Submissions, and direct transactions expressly made subject to them. They do not, by themselves, establish the complete terms of Professional Services.

2.3 Separate Written Agreements

A Separate Written Agreement may establish additional or different terms for its subject matter. If it directly conflicts with these Terms, the Separate Written Agreement controls to the extent of that conflict for the parties and matter it governs.

2.4 Privacy Policy

The Privacy Policy describes how Beneglyph Group handles personal information associated with the Website and Website Services. Acknowledgment of the Privacy Policy is not the same as consent to every possible use and does not create rights unrelated to privacy.

2.5 No Automatic Affiliate Liability

The formation, ownership, control, use, or involvement of an Affiliate does not, by itself, make that Affiliate responsible for every Beneglyph Group obligation or make Beneglyph Group responsible for every independent obligation of that Affiliate. Responsibility depends on the applicable agreement, activity, facts, and law.

3. Informational Purpose; No Professional Advice or Reliance

3.1 General Informational Purpose

The Website and public Website Content are provided for general informational, educational, conceptual, descriptive, and promotional purposes. They are not prepared as individualized advice for your particular facts, objectives, risks, jurisdiction, or circumstances.

3.2 No Professional Advice

Website Content does not constitute legal, financial, investment, tax, accounting, medical, psychological, technical, cybersecurity, engineering, employment, regulatory, compliance, or other professional advice. You should obtain advice from appropriately qualified professionals before acting on matters requiring such judgment.

3.3 No Investment or Outcome Recommendation

Discussions of markets, companies, leadership, technology, artificial intelligence, strategy, symbolic conditions, beneglyphic concepts, or possible future developments are not offers, solicitations, investment recommendations, trading instructions, or guarantees of outcomes.

3.4 Independent Evaluation

You are responsible for independently evaluating information and determining whether it is accurate, current, lawful, complete, and appropriate for your intended use. Do not rely on Website Content as the sole basis for a consequential decision.

3.5 Examples and Hypotheticals

Examples, scenarios, analogies, case discussions, diagrams, labels, and hypothetical applications are illustrative. They may simplify facts, omit context, express interpretation, or be intended to demonstrate a concept rather than establish a factual or professional conclusion.

3.6 No Duty to Update

Beneglyph Group may update, correct, remove, or leave unchanged Website Content at its discretion, subject to applicable law and any binding agreement. Publication does not create a continuing duty to monitor every subject or notify every viewer of later developments.

4. Inquiries; No Relationship, Confidentiality, or Obligation to Engage

4.1 Inquiries Are Preliminary

A General Contact, Strategic Inquiry, email, telephone call, meeting request, or other preliminary communication is an invitation to communicate only. It does not create a Professional Service, engagement, contract, advisory relationship, fiduciary duty, agency, partnership, employment relationship, or obligation to proceed.

4.2 No Obligation to Respond or Engage

Neither submission nor receipt of an inquiry obligates Beneglyph Group or the sender to respond, meet, negotiate, disclose information, provide a proposal, accept terms, enter an engagement, or complete a transaction.

4.3 No Confidential Relationship From an Unsolicited Submission

Do not submit confidential, proprietary, trade-secret, privileged, security-sensitive, regulated, export-controlled, or similarly sensitive information through a public Website form or unsolicited ordinary email. Marking a message “confidential” does not, by itself, create a confidentiality obligation.

4.4 Authorized Secure Process

If sensitive information becomes reasonably necessary for an authorized matter, obtain confirmation of an appropriate transmission method and any applicable agreement before sending it.

4.5 Conflicts and Existing Duties

Beneglyph Group may decline or limit an inquiry to avoid conflicts, protect existing duties, preserve confidentiality owed to another person, or address legal, ethical, operational, security, or capacity concerns.

4.6 No Obligation or Exclusivity

Nothing submitted through the Website obligates Beneglyph Group to reserve capacity, refrain from working with another person, treat an idea as exclusive, compensate the sender, return materials, or adopt a proposed concept unless a binding written agreement expressly provides otherwise.

5. Professional Services and Separate Written Agreements

5.1 Separate Agreement Required

Professional Services begin only when the applicable parties enter a Separate Written Agreement that identifies the service or engagement and becomes effective according to its terms.

5.2 Engagement-Specific Terms

A Separate Written Agreement may address scope, objectives, deliverables, assumptions, schedule, fees, expenses, payment, access, cooperation, confidentiality, intellectual property, security, data handling, licensing, compliance, warranties, liability, indemnification, termination, dispute resolution, and other engagement-specific matters.

5.3 No Engagement From Preliminary Materials

A public description, inquiry response, preliminary conversation, estimate, proposal draft, example, presentation, or scheduling communication does not create a Professional Service unless incorporated into an effective Separate Written Agreement.

5.4 Client Information and Cooperation

An engagement may depend on timely, accurate, authorized, and complete information, access, decisions, approvals, personnel, systems, and cooperation supplied by the client or other authorized participants.

5.5 Changes in Scope

Material changes to scope, assumptions, timing, access, deliverables, risk, or requirements may require a written amendment, revised schedule, additional fees, or a new Separate Written Agreement.

5.6 No Guaranteed Result

Unless expressly warranted in the governing agreement, Professional Services do not guarantee a specific commercial, strategic, legal, financial, organizational, technical, reputational, symbolic, beneglyphic, or other outcome.

5.7 Third-Party and Client Decisions

Beneglyph Group is not authorized to make decisions for a client or bind a third party unless a Separate Written Agreement expressly grants that authority and the arrangement is lawful.

5.8 Professional-Service Records and Communications

Project-specific contacts, notice methods, security procedures, retention rules, and communication expectations may differ from the public Website pathways and will be governed by the applicable agreement.

5.9 Completion, Suspension, and Termination

Completion, suspension, or termination of a Professional Service will be governed by the Separate Written Agreement and applicable law, including provisions concerning accrued fees, work in progress, materials, confidentiality, intellectual property, transition, and survival.

5.10 Continuing Boundaries

The expiration, completion, suspension, or termination of a professional engagement does not convert Professional Services into public Website Services or authorize continued use of deliverables beyond the scope of the rights and permissions expressly granted under the Separate Written Agreement.

6. Permitted Use

6.1 Limited Permission

Subject to these Terms, Beneglyph Group grants you a limited, revocable, nonexclusive, nontransferable, nonsublicensable permission to access and use the public Website and Website Content for lawful personal, informational, educational, evaluative, or internal business purposes.

6.2 Ordinary Viewing and Reference

You may view the Website through an ordinary browser, follow provided links, print or save a reasonable number of pages for your own lawful reference, and share an ordinary link to a publicly available page, provided you do not misrepresent the source, alter the context, or imply endorsement or affiliation.

6.3 Limited Quotation

You may quote limited portions of publicly available Website Content when permitted by law, accompanied by appropriate attribution and without reproducing a substantial or commercially substitutive portion of the work.

6.4 Organizational Use

An organization may permit its authorized personnel to review public Website Content for internal evaluation. This permission does not authorize organization-wide reproduction, training use, database ingestion, redistribution, republication, or commercial exploitation.

6.5 Permission Requests

Uses outside this Section require prior written permission from Beneglyph Group or the applicable rights holder. A request may be submitted through the General Contact pathway and must identify the material, proposed use, audience, format, duration, territory, and commercial context.

6.6 Compliance With Notices

You must preserve copyright, trademark, attribution, proprietary, security, and other notices appearing with Website Content and comply with any additional conditions presented for a particular download, feature, or permission.

6.7 Revocation

Beneglyph Group may revoke or restrict this permission for a material violation of these Terms or another lawful reason. Revocation does not eliminate rights already acquired under applicable law or a separate written license.

7. Prohibited Use, Security, and Interference

7.1 General Prohibition

You may not use the Website, Website Content, or Website Services unlawfully, fraudulently, deceptively, abusively, maliciously, or in a manner that infringes rights, compromises security, interferes with operation, or exceeds the permissions granted by these Terms.

7.2 Unauthorized Access and Security Testing

You may not attempt to gain unauthorized access to an account, server, form processor, inbox, file, system, network, administrative interface, nonpublic resource, credential, or data. You may not scan, probe, test, exploit, bypass, or defeat a security or access-control measure without prior written authorization defining the scope and conditions.

7.3 Interference and Abuse

You may not disrupt, overload, degrade, disable, damage, or interfere with the Website or another person’s use, including through denial-of-service activity, excessive requests, malicious code, spam, repeated unwanted contact, fraudulent submissions, or abusive automation.

7.4 Scraping, Automation, and Extraction

You may not use bots, crawlers, scrapers, agents, browser automation, data-mining tools, or similar methods to systematically access, copy, monitor, index, extract, download, reconstruct, or analyze Website Content, except for ordinary search-engine indexing authorized by Beneglyph Group or activity expressly permitted in writing.

7.5 Artificial-Intelligence and Model Use

Without prior written authorization, you may not use Website Content, User-facing Beneglyph materials, or nonpublic materials to train, fine-tune, ground, evaluate, benchmark, augment, retrieve for, or otherwise develop an artificial-intelligence, machine-learning, generative, recommendation, simulation, or automated decision system.

This restriction does not prohibit ordinary human use of a generally available search or assistive tool to locate or understand a limited public passage, provided the use does not involve systematic ingestion, retention, model development, or circumvention of these Terms.

7.6 Impersonation and Misrepresentation

You may not impersonate Beneglyph Group, Saul, an Affiliate, employee, contractor, client, rights holder, or another person; use a confusingly similar identity; falsify headers or routing information; or misrepresent sponsorship, endorsement, authority, origin, affiliation, or the purpose of a communication.

7.7 Harmful or Unlawful Content

You may not submit, transmit, or facilitate content or conduct that is unlawful, threatening, harassing, defamatory, fraudulent, infringing, malicious, exploitative, privacy-invasive, discriminatory where prohibited, or designed to cause harm.

7.8 Circumvention

You may not bypass a restriction, suspension, consent control, rate limit, access boundary, geographic or compliance restriction, payment verification step, or other protective measure through another identity, device, network, intermediary, account, address, or technical method.

7.9 Preservation and Reporting

Beneglyph Group may preserve relevant records, investigate suspected violations, restrict access, notify providers or authorities, and take other lawful protective action. Nothing in this Section authorizes unlawful surveillance or retaliation for protected good-faith reporting.

8. Intellectual Property; Beneglyph Names, Marks, Framework, and Materials

8.1 Ownership

The Website, Website Content, selection and arrangement of content, original text, graphics, images, designs, interfaces, frameworks, terminology, diagrams, publications, and other materials are owned by or licensed to Beneglyph Group or the applicable rights holder and are protected by copyright, trademark, trade-secret, unfair-competition, contract, and other laws.

8.2 Beneglyph Names and Marks

“Beneglyph,” “Beneglyph v.1,” “The Third Form of Expression,” the Beneglyph wordmark, Beneglyphic Mark™, and other source-identifying names, marks, logos, phrases, and designations used by Beneglyph Group may be protected trademarks, service marks, trade names, or other proprietary identifiers.

No permission is granted to use a Beneglyph name or mark as a company, product, service, domain, social-media identity, keyword, metadata label, certification, endorsement, or source identifier, or in a manner likely to create confusion, without prior written authorization.

8.3 The Standard Circle Character and the Beneglyphic Mark

The ordinary circle character “∘” is a standard symbol and is not claimed in isolation as property merely because it is a circle character. Protection concerns the source-identifying use, stylization, presentation, context, association, and goodwill of the Beneglyphic Mark™, not a broad ownership claim over every use of the standard character.

8.4 Beneglyphic Framework and Terminology

Beneglyphic concepts, classifications, frameworks, named tools, diagrams, methods, definitions, and associated expressions may be protected through copyright, trademark, trade-secret, contract, or other rights. Public discussion of a concept does not disclose or license every underlying method, model, implementation, dataset, scoring logic, software process, or nonpublic architecture.

8.5 No Implied License

Except for the limited permission in Section 6, no right or license is granted by implication, estoppel, publication, access, purchase of a book, receipt of a communication, or submission of an inquiry.

8.6 Prohibited Intellectual-Property Uses

Without authorization, you may not reproduce, adapt, translate, modify, republish, distribute, sell, license, create derivative works from, remove notices from, reverse engineer, imitate, or commercially exploit protected Website Content or Beneglyph materials.

8.7 References and Commentary

Nothing in these Terms is intended to prohibit lawful nominative reference, criticism, commentary, scholarship, news reporting, parody, quotation, or other use protected by applicable law. Such use must not falsely imply sponsorship, endorsement, authorship, certification, or affiliation.

8.8 Permissions and Licenses

A written permission or license may impose conditions concerning attribution, scope, media, territory, duration, quality, review, security, confidentiality, fees, and termination. Rights not expressly granted are reserved.

8.9 Notice of Claimed Infringement

A rights holder who believes Website Content infringes a right may send a sufficiently detailed notice to legal@beneglyph.com. The notice should identify the right, the material, its location, the basis of the claim, contact information, and the authority of the person submitting the notice.

8.10 Reservation of Rights

Beneglyph Group and the applicable rights holders reserve all rights not expressly granted. No delay in enforcing a right constitutes abandonment or waiver.

9. User Submissions, Authority, Accuracy, Confidential Information, and Feedback

9.1 Responsibility for User Submissions

You are responsible for each User Submission made by or for you. You represent that you have the authority and rights necessary to provide it and to permit the processing described in these Terms and the Privacy Policy.

A User Submission must be accurate to the best of your knowledge, not materially misleading, and not submitted in violation of law, contract, confidentiality, privacy, intellectual-property, export-control, sanctions, security, or other obligations.

9.2 Limited License to Process a User Submission

By making a User Submission, you grant Beneglyph Group a nonexclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to receive, reproduce, store, organize, format, transmit, review, analyze, internally display, use, and disclose the User Submission, including through authorized service providers and recipients, solely as reasonably necessary to:

• operate, secure, administer, and improve the applicable Website Service;
• route, review, evaluate, and respond to the submission;
• consider a possible transaction, permission, engagement, or other requested action;
• communicate with you or an authorized representative;
• maintain appropriate business, consent, transaction, compliance, and dispute records;
• detect, prevent, investigate, or address fraud, misuse, security concerns, prohibited conduct, or legal risk;
• comply with applicable law, legal process, provider requirements, or a binding agreement; and
• exercise or defend legal rights.

This limited license does not authorize Beneglyph Group, merely because an ordinary inquiry was submitted through the Website, to publicly publish its substance, use it in advertising or marketing, sell or license it to others as content or data, or incorporate it into a publication, dataset, training corpus, product, service, or commercial offering. This limitation does not prevent Beneglyph Group from reviewing the inquiry, responding to it, evaluating a possible engagement or transaction, maintaining appropriate records, using authorized service providers, or making disclosures otherwise permitted under this Section, the Privacy Policy, a Separate Written Agreement, or applicable law.

9.3 No Transfer of Ownership Merely by Submission

Except for the limited license above and any separate agreement concerning Feedback, you retain ownership rights you lawfully possess in a User Submission. Submission does not transfer ownership to Beneglyph Group and does not transfer ownership of Beneglyph Group materials to you.

9.4 Confidential, Proprietary, and Sensitive Information

Do not submit confidential, proprietary, trade-secret, privileged, regulated, security-sensitive, export-controlled, payment credential, authentication, or similarly sensitive information through a public form or unsolicited ordinary email. If such information is required for an authorized matter, use a confirmed secure pathway and any applicable agreement.

9.5 Personal Information About Others

You may provide personal information about another person only when you are authorized to do so and the disclosure is appropriate and lawful. You must not provide unnecessary sensitive information or use the Website to expose, harass, impersonate, or endanger another person.

9.6 Feedback

If you voluntarily provide an idea, suggestion, correction, reaction, improvement proposal, or other feedback specifically concerning the Website, Website Services, or Beneglyph offerings (“Feedback”), Beneglyph Group may use that Feedback without an obligation to adopt it or compensate you, provided that this does not authorize use of separately protected confidential material or override a Separate Written Agreement.

Where Feedback is intended for unrestricted product or service improvement, you grant Beneglyph Group a perpetual, irrevocable, nonexclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, transferable, and sublicensable license to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, distribute, display, perform, and create derivative works from that Feedback for lawful business purposes. This license does not apply to ordinary inquiry substance merely because the sender expresses an opinion.

9.7 Similar or Independently Developed Ideas

Beneglyph Group may already be developing, considering, receiving, or later develop ideas, concepts, materials, or services similar to something contained in a User Submission. Submission does not create exclusivity or prevent independent development, lawful use of information from another source, or work performed under a separate agreement.

9.8 Removal, Preservation, and Refusal

Beneglyph Group may refuse, quarantine, remove, preserve, or restrict a User Submission when reasonably appropriate for security, legal, compliance, operational, evidentiary, or Terms-enforcement purposes. Beneglyph Group is not required to return unsolicited materials.

9.9 Records and Privacy

User Submissions may be retained and processed as described in the Privacy Policy, applicable law, and any Separate Written Agreement. Nothing in this Section authorizes processing inconsistent with those obligations.

10. Receive Updates and Electronic Communications

10.1 Voluntary Receive Updates Subscription

Receive Updates allows eligible persons to request email communications from Beneglyph Group. Subscription is voluntary and is not required to view public Website Content, submit a General Contact or Strategic Inquiry, receive a response, purchase through a third-party retailer, discuss a possible engagement, or enter a Separate Written Agreement.

Submitting an ordinary inquiry does not subscribe you to Receive Updates and does not constitute consent to promotional email.

10.2 Affirmative Consent

To subscribe, you must select the required initially unchecked checkbox and submit the form. By doing so, you confirm that you are at least 18 years old and legally capable of entering into a binding agreement under the laws applicable to you; acknowledge the Privacy Policy; agree to these Terms; and consent to receive email updates, launch notices, announcements, and related communications from Beneglyph Group, LLC.

Beneglyph Group may retain records of the affirmative checkbox, date and time, form version, email address, and effective Terms and Privacy Policy versions or dates. Consent is not a condition of purchase or a professional engagement.

10.3 Scope of Communications

Receive Updates communications may concern book or publication availability, launch notices, Website or project milestones, Beneglyph news, beneglyphic framework information, public materials, events, programs, offerings, invitations, administrative information, and other reasonably related matters. They may contain informational, promotional, or commercial content.

Consent to Receive Updates does not authorize telephone calls, prerecorded or artificial-voice calls, SMS, MMS, or text messages. Those channels require a separate appropriate disclosure or consent where applicable.

10.4 Frequency and Content

No particular frequency is promised. Communications may be occasional, periodic, event-driven, paused, or discontinued. Subject to unsubscribe rights and applicable law, Beneglyph Group may determine content, format, timing, frequency, and audience and may segment communications by relevance, geography, eligibility, interests, engagement, technical considerations, compliance, or other legitimate factors.

10.5 Sender Identification and Message Practices

Where required, covered commercial email will use accurate sender and routing information, nondeceptive subject lines, required identification or disclosures, a valid physical postal address, and a functioning opt-out method. Messages may be sent from updates@beneglyph.com, another authorized Beneglyph address, or an authorized service provider.

10.6 Unsubscribing

You may unsubscribe at any time through the mechanism included in an email or by sending an operational request to updates@beneglyph.com. Beneglyph Group will not charge a fee or require information beyond what is reasonably necessary to identify and process the affected address.

Requests will be processed within the period required by applicable law. Messages already in production may still arrive. Beneglyph Group may retain the address and appropriate records on a suppression or do-not-contact list to honor the request, document compliance, prevent accidental resubscription, address security, or resolve disputes. Suppression does not authorize renewed updates.

10.7 Effect of Unsubscribing

Unsubscribing stops Receive Updates subscription messages but does not necessarily prevent a requested confirmation, a direct response to a later inquiry, transaction or engagement communications, payment, security, legal, compliance, or administrative notices, legally required communications, or communications separately requested or authorized. These exceptions may not be used as a pretext to continue subscription marketing.

10.8 Resubscription and Address Changes

Resubscription requires new affirmative consent. An opt-out for one address may not automatically apply to another address unless the addresses are identified and reasonably associated. You may not subscribe another person without authorization. Beneglyph Group may verify a subscription, resubscription, address change, or related request.

10.9 Operational and Direct Communications

Beneglyph Group may respond to a contact, strategic, permission, privacy, security, transaction, or other request using the contact information provided. Such communications are separate from Receive Updates and may acknowledge, route, evaluate, clarify, verify, schedule, respond to, administer, or maintain records concerning the request. They do not enroll the recipient in Receive Updates.

10.10 Electronic Delivery and Records

By using an Interactive Website Service, you agree that communications, records, disclosures, and notices concerning that service may be provided electronically through the Website or email unless applicable law requires another method or Beneglyph Group agrees otherwise. You are responsible for maintaining an active email address and equipment capable of displaying, storing, or printing common electronic formats.

10.11 Providers and Email Technology

Beneglyph Group may use providers to host forms, manage subscriptions, transmit messages, process opt-outs, prevent abuse, maintain consent records, and evaluate delivery or engagement. Depending on the provider and configuration, technical features may identify delivery, failure, bounce, unsubscribe, open or link activity, device or browser information, network information, and aggregate performance, as described in the Privacy Policy.

10.12 Delivery Limitations

Beneglyph Group does not guarantee that an email will be delivered, received, displayed, available, unfiltered, or timely. Do not rely on Receive Updates as the exclusive source of time-sensitive, legal, emergency, financial, security, or engagement-specific information.

10.13 Suspension or Discontinuation

Beneglyph Group may decline, suspend, suppress, or discontinue a subscription or communication pathway when reasonably appropriate because of an unsubscribe request; an invalid, inactive, or repeatedly bouncing address; abuse, fraud, automation, or unauthorized enrollment; security or privacy concerns; legal, sanctions, export-control, or provider requirements; violation of these Terms; or another legitimate operational reason.

Beneglyph Group may also discontinue a subscription or communication pathway if the Website, Receive Updates service, or relevant communication pathway is suspended, discontinued, shut down, or otherwise no longer operated. Nothing in this subsection limits a nonwaivable right.

11. Third-Party Websites, Retailers, Embeds, and Services

11.1 Third-Party Services

The Website and Website Services may link to, display, reference, incorporate, or rely upon Third-Party Services, including retailers, booksellers, payment and financial providers, email and hosting services, scheduling and conferencing platforms, social-media platforms, maps, analytics, accessibility tools, search services, embeds, delivery or fulfillment providers, and other external services.

A Third-Party Service remains separate from Beneglyph Group even when linked, embedded, integrated, or used to support the Website.

11.2 Third-Party Terms and Privacy Practices

Your access to or use of a Third-Party Service may be governed by that third party’s own terms, privacy and tracking practices, account rules, eligibility requirements, payment and refund policies, fulfillment procedures, security practices, dispute provisions, and other notices. You are responsible for reviewing them before use or disclosure of information.

11.3 External Retailers and Booksellers

Unless the Website expressly identifies Beneglyph Group as the direct seller for a transaction, an external retailer conducts the sale and may independently determine pricing, taxes, discounts, availability, editions, formats, payment processing, shipping, delivery, returns, refunds, exchanges, accounts, and customer service.

Questions or disputes ordinarily should be directed first to the third party that conducted the sale. Beneglyph Group does not control whether a retailer accepts an order, maintains inventory, changes a listing or price, delays delivery, cancels a transaction, or grants a remedy.

11.4 Links and References Are Not Automatic Endorsements

A link, reference, citation, embed, retailer button, logo, name, quotation, or mention does not by itself establish endorsement, sponsorship, partnership, agency, joint venture, certification, approval, affiliation, or verification. An actual material connection will exist only when supported by the facts and will be disclosed where appropriate and required.

11.5 Embedded and Integrated Content

Videos, images, maps, forms, scheduling tools, feeds, widgets, scripts, and other embedded features may deliver content or functionality through a Third-Party Service. When you interact with such a feature, the third party may receive technical, usage, identifier, account, or communication information directly from your browser, device, network, or account, depending on the provider and configuration.

11.6 No Control Over Third-Party Content or Operations

Beneglyph Group does not control and does not undertake to continuously monitor every Third-Party Service. Third-party content, availability, security, accuracy, legality, accessibility, compatibility, performance, or practices may change without notice. Beneglyph Group may add, replace, disable, or remove a third-party link, embed, integration, or provider.

11.7 Use of Third-Party Services

Exercise independent judgment before opening external links, creating accounts, downloading files, enabling integrations, purchasing, providing personal or financial information, relying on content, or granting access to a device, inbox, calendar, account, or system. You are responsible for determining whether the Third-Party Service is appropriate and for complying with its terms.

11.8 Providers Used by Beneglyph Group

Beneglyph Group may use Third-Party Services to operate the Website, process communications, maintain records, provide security, transmit email, conduct meetings, process payments, support transactions, or perform other business functions. Use of a provider does not make that provider a party to these Terms or make Beneglyph Group the provider of its independent services.

11.9 Material Connections and Compensation

If Beneglyph Group receives compensation, a commission, referral benefit, free product or service, or another material benefit connected to a recommendation, endorsement, link, or transaction, it will provide disclosures required by applicable law in a manner reasonably suited to the context.

11.10 Third-Party Disputes and Assistance

A dispute concerning a Third-Party Service ordinarily must be resolved with the applicable third party under its terms and applicable law. Beneglyph Group may, but is not required to, provide available routing information, identify the third party, forward an appropriate communication, correct or remove an inaccurate Website link or description, cooperate with a lawful investigation, or take another reasonable step concerning its own role.

11.11 Direct Beneglyph Group Transactions Remain Separate

This Section does not govern the full terms of a transaction in which Beneglyph Group is expressly identified as direct seller, payee, licensor, or provider. Section 12 and any Separate Written Agreement govern those matters.

11.12 Third-Party Responsibility and Liability Boundary

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Beneglyph Group is not responsible for and does not warrant, endorse, guarantee, or assume liability for the content, representations, products, services, transactions, availability, security, privacy practices, accessibility, legality, accuracy, performance, conduct, or omissions of a Third-Party Service or its operators.

Your access to, reliance upon, purchase from, or other use of a Third-Party Service is at your own discretion and subject to the terms and legal responsibilities applicable to that third party. This limitation does not apply to an obligation expressly assumed by Beneglyph Group in a Separate Written Agreement or direct transaction, or to responsibility applicable law does not permit Beneglyph Group to exclude or limit.

12. Transactions, Payments, Refunds, Disputes, and Payment Instructions

12.1 Scope

This Section applies when Beneglyph Group is expressly identified as the direct seller, payee, licensor, service provider, or contracting party. A transaction may also be governed by an invoice, proposal, order form, statement of work, license, or Separate Written Agreement.

12.2 Prices, Fees, Estimates, and Quotations

Prices, fees, rates, expenses, deposits, retainers, schedules, and other charges are those stated in the applicable offer or binding transaction document. Unless stated otherwise, an estimate is based on then-known scope and assumptions and is not a guarantee of the final amount; taxes, bank charges, processor fees, shipping, third-party expenses, and currency conversion may be additional; and expired or withdrawn quotations may not be relied upon as continuing offers.

12.3 Authorized Payment Methods

Beneglyph Group may authorize payment by check, ACH transfer, bank bill pay, an arranged person-to-person or business payment service such as Zelle, card through an approved processor, domestic or international wire, or another expressly approved method. Technical availability does not mean a method is accepted for every transaction. Use only the instructions confirmed for the applicable transaction.

12.4 Authorized Payee

Unless Beneglyph Group expressly provides different written instructions for a particular authorized transaction, all payments owed directly to Beneglyph Group, including checks, must be made payable to Beneglyph Group, LLC.

Using a courier, delivery service, or other intermediary to deliver a payment does not, by itself, invalidate the payment if it is made payable to Beneglyph Group, LLC and is actually received, accepted, and finally settled by Beneglyph Group. A payment sent to an unauthorized payee or account will not be credited unless and until Beneglyph Group actually receives the funds, except to the extent applicable law requires otherwise.

12.5 Checks

A check must identify the correct payee, be drawn on an authorized account, be accurate and legible, include requested reference information, and be delivered as instructed. Receipt, deposit, or provisional credit is not final payment. Payment is complete only after final honor and settlement.

12.6 Electronic Payments, Cards, ACH, Bill Pay, and Payment Services

You are responsible for accurately entering payment information, ensuring authority and available funds, reviewing the recipient and amount, following provider rules, and promptly reporting suspected error, duplication, unauthorized activity, or security concerns.

A processor, bank, network, or payment service may independently approve, decline, delay, reverse, investigate, place a hold on, or otherwise affect a transaction. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Beneglyph Group is not responsible for delays, declines, reversals, holds, investigations, outages, or other actions caused solely by such a third party, except to the extent caused by Beneglyph Group’s own act or omission or where applicable law provides otherwise.

12.7 Verification of Payment Instructions and Changes

Before sending an ACH payment, bank wire, substantial payment, or payment to new or changed account information, independently confirm that the named payee is Beneglyph Group, LLC and that the payment instructions were issued or confirmed through a previously established Beneglyph Group communication method. Verify the amount, purpose, financial institution, account information, and authority of the person providing or changing instructions.

Do not rely solely on a reply to the message containing changed instructions, contact information supplied only in that message, urgency or secrecy, a visually similar address or invoice, or a request to bypass an established verification procedure.

12.8 Incorrect, Diverted, or Fraudulent Payments

If instructions appear fraudulent, altered, unauthorized, or incorrect, do not send payment. Contact Beneglyph Group through a previously verified pathway. If payment has been sent, promptly contact the relevant financial institution, provider, and appropriate authorities to request a stop, recall, freeze, or reversal where possible.

Responsibility for a diverted or misdirected payment depends on the facts, conduct, applicable law, security procedures, and governing agreement. Nothing shifts responsibility assigned by law or excuses Beneglyph Group from its own fraud, willful misconduct, or unlawful conduct.

12.9 Timing and Application

Payment is received when funds are actually available to Beneglyph Group through the authorized method, subject to final settlement, reversal rights, fraud review, and law. A screenshot, pending transfer, processor authorization, deposit, or sender receipt does not necessarily establish final receipt.

12.10 Taxes, Bank Charges, and Currency

You are responsible for taxes, duties, levies, legally required withholding, sender or intermediary bank charges, conversion costs, and provider fees assigned to you by the transaction, agreement, institution, or law. Unless agreed otherwise, Beneglyph Group must receive the full invoiced amount in the stated currency.

12.11 Refunds, Credits, Cancellations, and Deposits

Refund, credit, cancellation, rescheduling, deposit, and retainer terms are those stated in the applicable offer, transaction document, or Separate Written Agreement. Amounts earned for completed services, approved expenses, and noncancelable third-party costs may remain payable. Nothing limits a nonwaivable refund, cancellation, chargeback, rescission, or consumer right.

12.12 Payment Errors and Disputes

Review invoices, receipts, confirmations, and account activity promptly. Questions concerning an amount, duplicate payment, missing credit, unauthorized transaction, refund, or application of payment should be submitted through the transaction contact or to billing@beneglyph.com.

Include reasonably available identifying details, but do not send complete card numbers, banking credentials, passwords, or authentication codes through ordinary email. Submitting a dispute does not automatically suspend an undisputed obligation. Beneglyph Group may contest a mistaken, duplicative, fraudulent, abusive, or inconsistent chargeback or reversal.

12.13 Holds, Rejection, and Compliance Review

Beneglyph Group may delay, decline, return, restrict, or reasonably hold a payment to verify identity, authority, ownership, source, or instructions; investigate error or fraud; comply with sanctions, export controls, court orders, law, or provider requirements; determine legal eligibility; prevent duplicates; or address material risk.

12.14 Transaction Records

Beneglyph Group may maintain invoices, receipts, payment confirmations, references, correspondence, tax records, refund and dispute records, and related information as described in the Privacy Policy, applicable law, and any Separate Written Agreement.

12.15 Separate Written Agreements

A Separate Written Agreement may establish transaction-specific provisions. It controls to the extent of a direct conflict for the matter it governs. Nothing limits a payment, refund, dispute, or consumer right that applicable law makes nonwaivable.

13. Sanctions, Restricted Parties, Export Controls, and Compliance Screening

13.1 Compliance Scope

Access to the Website does not establish eligibility for a transaction, transfer, license, engagement, communication, or Professional Service. Beneglyph Group may be required to comply with sanctions, blocked-person rules, export and reexport controls, controlled-technology restrictions, end-user and end-use limits, financial restrictions, anti-boycott rules, customs or trade requirements, licensing, reporting, and recordkeeping obligations.

13.2 Restricted Parties

A “Restricted Party” means a person, entity, government, organization, vessel, financial institution, group, or other party that is blocked, sanctioned, denied export privileges, listed, restricted, prohibited, or otherwise limited under applicable sanctions, export-control, trade, or financial-restriction laws.

13.3 Representations Concerning Eligibility

By requesting a transaction or Professional Service, making a payment, receiving nonpublic materials, or entering a Separate Written Agreement, you represent, to the best of your knowledge and except as accurately disclosed, that you are not a Restricted Party; are not acting in a prohibited manner for a Restricted Party; are not owned fifty percent or more in the aggregate by blocked persons where that rule applies; and are not involving a prohibited destination, end user, end use, activity, financial institution, payment source, or transaction.

You also represent that relevant funds and property are lawfully owned or controlled, you possess required authority, and screening information is accurate, complete, and not materially misleading. These representations continue while the relevant matter remains active.

13.4 Ownership, Control, and Intermediaries

Beneglyph Group may evaluate legal and beneficial owners, parent entities, Affiliates, representatives, intermediaries, ultimate recipients, payers, financial institutions, end users, and other materially involved persons. You may not use a nominee, intermediary, reseller, entity, institution, or other person to conceal true parties, ownership, source of funds, destination, end user, end use, or purpose.

13.5 End Users, End Uses, and Destinations

You may not request, use, transfer, disclose, resell, redirect, or permit access to a product, service, deliverable, technology, software, source code, technical information, or material for a prohibited or restricted end user, end use, destination, weapons-related or controlled activity without required authorization, unlawful human-rights abuse, coercion, repression, fraud, cyber abuse, sanctions evasion, diversion, or other prohibited activity.

13.6 Screening and Verification

Beneglyph Group may conduct risk-based screening before or during an inquiry, transaction, payment, transfer, communication, access grant, or engagement and may request identity, address, country, citizenship or nationality where legally relevant, authority, ownership, affiliates, intermediaries, end users, destination, end use, payment source, organizational records, identification, licenses, approvals, or other reasonably necessary information.

13.7 Export-Controlled Materials and Deemed Exports

Technology, software, source code, technical information, services, or other items may be controlled even when transmitted electronically, accessed remotely, disclosed orally or visually, or released to a foreign person in the United States. Controlled material may not be requested, accessed, received, disclosed, transmitted, downloaded, or transferred unless the activity is lawful and all required classifications, licenses, exceptions, conditions, and restrictions are satisfied.

13.8 Licenses and Government Authorizations

Neither party is required to proceed with an activity requiring a government license, approval, classification, advisory opinion, or other permission unless it has been obtained and the applicable party agrees to proceed. Unless a Separate Written Agreement provides otherwise, Beneglyph Group is not obligated to apply for an authorization or guarantee its result or timing.

13.9 Payments and Financial Restrictions

Beneglyph Group may screen the payer, payee, account holder, financial institution, intermediary, source, currency, country, and transaction information. You may not conceal the true payer, beneficiary, source, or purpose; route funds to evade restrictions; divide or relabel transactions to avoid screening; or request omission or falsification of transaction information.

13.10 Duty to Provide Updates

Promptly notify Beneglyph Group of a material change in identity, name, ownership, control, authority, restricted-party status, residence or jurisdiction where relevant, destination, end user, end use, payment source, financial institution, transaction purpose, or authorization status.

13.11 Delay, Decline, Restriction, Blocking, and Reporting

Beneglyph Group may delay, decline, restrict, suspend, cancel, or terminate a matter when screening cannot be completed, information is unavailable or misleading, a possible match cannot be resolved, a prohibited element may be involved, authorization is absent, a provider restricts the matter, or proceeding may violate law or create unacceptable compliance risk.

Where required or permitted by law, Beneglyph Group may block, freeze, reject, hold, restrict, retain, or report funds, property, information, communications, or transactions and may be unable to return them without government authorization.

13.12 No Evasion or Circumvention

You may not evade screening or restrictions through false information, alternate identities or addresses, nominees, routing, transshipment, altered structures, misleading descriptions, concealed remote access, or another avoidance method.

13.13 Service Providers and Financial Institutions

Third-party providers may perform their own screening and independently delay, decline, block, restrict, or report activity. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Beneglyph Group is not responsible for independent compliance actions caused solely by such third parties, except to the extent caused by Beneglyph Group’s own act or omission or where law provides otherwise.

13.14 Records and Cooperation

Beneglyph Group may retain screening information, search results, certifications, ownership and authority records, licenses, payment information, correspondence, decisions, escalations, and legally required reports under the Privacy Policy, law, and applicable agreements. You agree to reasonable cooperation concerning a legitimate compliance inquiry, subject to legal rights and restrictions.

13.15 No Compliance Advice or Guarantee

Screening, review, acceptance, or completion does not constitute legal advice or guarantee that every possible sanctions, export-control, tax, customs, regulatory, contractual, or other issue has been identified. Each person remains responsible for obtaining appropriate advice concerning its obligations.

13.16 Relationship to Other Provisions

This Section supplements Sections 12 and 14. Nothing requires Beneglyph Group to take an action prohibited by law or limits a nonwaivable compliance obligation, defense, right, or protection.

14. Right to Decline, Restrict, Suspend, or Terminate

14.1 No General Obligation to Provide Access or Services

Subject to law and a binding Separate Written Agreement, Beneglyph Group may determine whether, when, to whom, and under what conditions it will respond, continue discussions, provide access, maintain a subscription, offer or enter a transaction or engagement, accept a payment method, provide Professional Services, or continue a Website feature, communication pathway, offering, or business activity.

14.2 Grounds

Beneglyph Group may decline, limit, condition, redirect, pause, suspend, or discontinue a matter when reasonably appropriate because of capacity or fit; scope, timing, complexity, or terms; incomplete, inaccurate, unverifiable, unauthorized, or misleading information; inability to verify identity, authority, ownership, eligibility, payment, end user, end use, or destination; conflicts; prohibited conduct; abuse, threats, fraud, deception, illegality, disruption, impersonation, automation, spam, misuse, security risk, or payment diversion; noncooperation or nonpayment; sanctions or export-control concerns; unacceptable legal, security, financial, operational, ethical, reputational, or implementation risk; provider or infrastructure restrictions; shutdown or impairment of the Website or a necessary service; circumstances beyond reasonable control; or another legitimate reason.

14.3 Preliminary Inquiries and Discussions

Before a Separate Written Agreement becomes effective, Beneglyph Group may decline to review or respond, request information, redirect a matter, limit subjects it will receive, decline a meeting or proposal, or end correspondence or negotiations. It is not required to disclose internal criteria, proprietary assessments, priorities, capacity, conflicts, or detailed reasons, except where law or agreement requires otherwise.

14.4 Restriction or Suspension of Website Services

Beneglyph Group may restrict or suspend all or part of a Website Service to protect systems, users, providers, communications, data, or intellectual property; investigate misuse; prevent harm; enforce agreements; comply with law or provider requirements; maintain or replace systems; manage capacity, spam, traffic, or automation; or address another legitimate concern.

14.5 Notice and Opportunity to Cure

Notice or an opportunity to cure may be provided when appropriate or required. Advance notice is not required when immediate action is reasonably appropriate because of fraud, impersonation, malicious activity, unauthorized access, security threats, material harm, sanctions or legal requirements, abuse, evidence loss, payment diversion, data exposure, system interference, inability to verify, service shutdown, or another circumstance making notice impracticable, unsafe, unlawful, or prejudicial.

14.6 Professional Engagements

A professional engagement may be suspended, restricted, or terminated only as permitted by its Separate Written Agreement and applicable law. These Website Terms do not expand a termination right beyond those authorities.

14.7 Effect

Restriction, suspension, or termination may result in loss of access, rejection or discontinuation of a request, delay or cancellation, suspension of authorized performance, preservation or removal of a User Submission, blocking of a transaction, restriction of communications, or another proportionate measure. You must not bypass a restriction through another identity, address, device, network, intermediary, payment method, or pathway.

14.8 Payments, Refunds, and Outstanding Obligations

Ending access or a relationship does not automatically cancel earned or accrued amounts, create a refund right, eliminate disputes, excuse return obligations, terminate every provision, or prevent lawful remedies. Section 12, governing documents, and law control payment consequences.

14.9 Records, Security, and Continuing Processing

After a matter ends, Beneglyph Group may retain appropriate records to document decisions, honor suppression, maintain transaction and compliance records, protect security, investigate disputes, exercise legal rights, comply with law, or enforce surviving provisions, as permitted by the Privacy Policy and applicable agreements.

14.10 Third-Party Restrictions and Discontinuation

Beneglyph Group may take corresponding action when a necessary Third-Party Service independently restricts, suspends, rejects, blocks, delays, or discontinues activity. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Beneglyph Group is not responsible for independent action caused solely by a third party, except to the extent caused by Beneglyph Group’s own act or omission or where law provides otherwise.

14.11 No Retaliation for Protected or Authorized Conduct

Beneglyph Group will not act solely because a person lawfully submits a privacy request, withdraws consent, unsubscribes, reports a good-faith concern, exercises a nonfraudulent consumer right, requests accessibility assistance, makes truthful criticism, communicates with a regulator, or declines an engagement. This does not prevent action for an independent lawful reason or protection against abuse or fraud.

14.12 Nondiscrimination and Nonwaivable Rights

Nothing authorizes unlawful discrimination, retaliation, denial of legally required access, or another prohibited practice. Nothing limits a nonwaivable right, an express obligation in a Separate Written Agreement, legally required protections, or responsibility for Beneglyph Group’s own conduct where exclusion is prohibited.

14.13 Reservation of Other Rights

Rights in this Section are cumulative. A delay does not waive future exercise. Nothing requires Beneglyph Group to continue operating the Website, a Website Service, Receive Updates, a communication address, an offering, or a line of business indefinitely.

15. Disclaimers of Warranties

15.1 “As Is” and “As Available”

15.2 No Warranty Concerning Content

Beneglyph Group does not warrant that Website Content is complete, current, accurate, error-free, comprehensive, applicable to your circumstances, consistent with every source or interpretation, free from editorial or technical errors, or sufficient as the sole basis for a consequential decision. Content may be historical, developing, conceptual, illustrative, predictive, interpretive, summarized, or dependent on additional context.

15.3 No Warranty of Results or Outcomes

Beneglyph Group does not warrant that use of the Website, Website Content, or Website Services will produce a particular result; improve a decision, organization, strategy, system, relationship, investment, market position, or outcome; identify every risk or opportunity; prevent loss, error, delay, disruption, reputational harm, or adverse consequence; cause another person to act; create recognition, alignment, resonance, adoption, influence, or commercial success; or produce results comparable to an example or historical event.

15.4 Availability and Operation

Beneglyph Group does not warrant continuous or long-term availability, uninterrupted operation, unchanged features, universal compatibility, preservation of every page or pathway, successful transmission of every submission, or freedom from maintenance, provider failure, technical limitation, latency, degradation, or circumstances beyond reasonable control.

15.5 Security and Harmful Components

Reasonable safeguards may be used, but no Internet-based website, email, communication, storage, or transmission method can be warranted completely secure or free from harmful activity. Beneglyph Group does not warrant that unauthorized access, interception, disclosure, alteration, loss, misuse, malware, corrupted data, vulnerability, backup failure, or security incident will never occur.

You are responsible for reasonable security of your devices, networks, accounts, credentials, software, data, and communications. Nothing reduces a security, privacy, notification, or other obligation imposed by law or a Separate Written Agreement.

15.6 Downloads, Links, and Technical Use

Materials downloaded, saved, printed, opened, installed, or obtained through the Website or a related communication are used at your discretion. Compatibility, appearance, function, continued access, transmission integrity, and suitability for technical, archival, evidentiary, accessibility, or operational requirements are not warranted.

15.7 Third-Party Services and Materials

Beneglyph Group makes no warranty concerning a Third-Party Service or its content, product, transaction, communication, provider, retailer, platform, financial institution, availability, security, legality, reliability, privacy, tracking, fulfillment, delivery, refunds, support, or performance. Any third-party warranty is provided by that third party unless Beneglyph Group expressly agrees otherwise in writing.

15.8 User Submissions and Communications

Beneglyph Group does not warrant that a User Submission, email, inquiry, subscription request, payment communication, or message will be delivered, received, reviewed, retained, routed, answered, kept confidential merely because submitted, or result in an engagement, transaction, permission, publication, correction, or other requested action. An automated acknowledgment or delivery notice does not establish substantive review or acceptance.

15.9 Professional Services and Separate Agreements

This Section governs the public Website and Website Services and does not replace terms governing Professional Services. A Separate Written Agreement may provide express warranties, service commitments, acceptance criteria, remedies, or assurances only for the parties, services, deliverables, period, conditions, and scope it identifies.

15.10 Direct Sales and Express Product Warranties

If Beneglyph Group later becomes a direct seller or provides an express written product warranty, the applicable offer or warranty may provide product-specific rights and remedies. This Section does not eliminate an express warranty specifically provided in a binding transaction document, reduce another warrantor’s duties, disclaim an implied warranty where law prohibits it, replace required disclosures, or restrict a nonwaivable product, consumer, refund, repair, replacement, or warranty right.

15.11 No Warranty Created by Advice or Conduct

Except as expressly stated in a binding written document, no oral or written information, response, assistance, correction, refund, course of dealing, delay, silence, or voluntary action creates a warranty or continuing obligation not stated in these Terms.

15.12 Jurisdictional and Nonwaivable Rights

Some jurisdictions do not permit exclusion of certain warranties or consumer rights. The disclaimers apply only to the fullest extent permitted. Nothing disclaims responsibility for fraud, willful injury, or violation of law where it cannot be excluded; an express contractual warranty; a nonwaivable right; or an obligation arising from Beneglyph Group’s own conduct where exclusion is prohibited.

16. Limitation of Liability

16.1 Scope and Beneglyph Group Parties

This Section applies to claims arising from or relating to the Website, Website Content, Website Services, these Terms, User Submissions, electronic communications, and direct transactions not governed by a Separate Written Agreement. Liability concerning Professional Services or engagement-specific matters is governed by the applicable agreement.

“Beneglyph Group Parties” means Beneglyph Group; its current and future Affiliates, successors, and permitted assigns; and their respective members, managers, directors, officers, employees, contractors, agents, licensors, and authorized service providers, but only to the extent a claim concerns authorized activities performed for or on behalf of Beneglyph Group or the applicable Affiliate, successor, or permitted assignee.

Inclusion in this definition does not, by itself, make one Beneglyph Group Party responsible for the independent obligations or conduct of another except where responsibility is expressly assumed or imposed by applicable law.

16.2 Exclusion of Certain Categories of Damages

These exclusions apply regardless of whether a claim is characterized in contract, tort, negligence, statute, restitution, equity, misrepresentation, strict liability, or another theory, and even if the possibility of damages was known or foreseeable.

16.3 Aggregate Liability Cap

The cap applies collectively to all Beneglyph Group Parties and all related facts, claims, claimants, theories, proceedings, and forms of relief. Multiple claims do not multiply it. Amounts paid to an external retailer, bookseller, processor, institution, or other Third-Party Service are not amounts paid directly to Beneglyph Group for this calculation.

16.4 Direct and External Retail Transactions

Where Beneglyph Group is not the direct seller, liability concerning external pricing, payment processing, inventory, order acceptance, fulfillment, shipping, delivery, returns, refunds, accounts, or customer service ordinarily rests with the external provider. Where Beneglyph Group is the direct seller or contracting party, applicable transaction-specific obligations and nonwaivable remedies remain effective.

16.5 Third-Party Services

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Beneglyph Group Parties are not liable for damages caused solely by independent third-party conduct, content, systems, policies, restrictions, decisions, errors, omissions, security incidents, outages, or failures. This does not apply to the extent caused by a Beneglyph Group Party, responsibility expressly assumed in writing, or responsibility assigned by law.

16.6 User Decisions, Conduct, and Security

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Beneglyph Group Parties are not responsible for losses to the extent caused by your failure to verify material information; application of general content to unsuitable circumstances; inaccurate or unauthorized submissions; failure to follow payment, security, or verification instructions; disclosure of credentials or sensitive information through an inappropriate channel; unauthorized use or distribution; violation of law or agreement; conduct of a person you authorized; or circumstances within your reasonable control that reasonable precautions could have addressed.

16.7 Application of Limitations

The exclusions and limitations apply to the fullest extent permitted by law, before, during, and after use; even if a limited remedy does not compensate every loss; even if damages were advised or foreseeable; and independently to each category and theory. They allocate risk in light of the generally informational, primarily free, Internet-based nature of the Website and the availability of Separate Written Agreements for individualized services.

16.8 Matters Not Limited

The exclusions and cap do not apply to the extent law prohibits limitation, including fraud or fraudulent concealment by a Beneglyph Group Party; willful injury or intentional misconduct; gross negligence or reckless conduct where nonlimitable; prohibited violations of law; death, personal injury, or physical property damage where limitation is prohibited; independent infringement or misappropriation by Beneglyph Group; an express payment, refund, warranty, confidentiality, indemnification, security, or other obligation specifically assumed in a binding agreement; legally required return or payment; or another nonwaivable right, remedy, or damage category.

16.9 Separate Written Agreements

A Separate Written Agreement may establish a different liability allocation, financial cap, exclusions, insurance requirement, indemnification, exclusive remedy, procedure, or exception for its subject matter only.

16.10 Jurisdictional Limitations

Where a jurisdiction does not permit a stated limitation, each provision applies only to the maximum legally permitted extent. An invalid limitation will be narrowed rather than expanding liability beyond what law requires.

17. Indemnification

17.1 Purpose and Scope

This Section allocates responsibility for certain third-party claims and governmental or regulatory proceedings arising from conduct attributable to you. “Indemnified Parties” means the Beneglyph Group Parties defined in Section 16.1.

17.2 Indemnification Obligation

To the fullest extent permitted by law, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Indemnified Parties from third-party claims, demands, actions, proceedings, investigations, judgments, settlements, penalties, fines, damages, liabilities, losses, costs, and reasonable attorneys’ fees and defense costs, to the extent arising from your material violation of these Terms; unlawful or unauthorized use; User Submission; infringement or violation of another person’s rights; unauthorized materials; fraud, impersonation, concealment, or material misrepresentation; sanctions or export-control violation; unauthorized access, scraping, interference, malicious activity, or circumvention; payment fraud, diversion, or chargeback abuse; failure to obtain required authorization; conduct of a person you authorized; or misuse of a Third-Party Service that causes a claim against an Indemnified Party.

The obligation applies only to the extent the covered claim, cost, or loss was caused by or properly attributable to covered conduct.

17.3 Third-Party Claims and Governmental Proceedings

This Section principally concerns claims by persons other than you and the Indemnified Parties, including civil demands and lawsuits, intellectual-property or privacy claims, payment and fraud claims, subpoenas, investigations, regulatory proceedings, and claims by providers, institutions, rights holders, customers, employees, businesses, or organizations. It does not automatically convert every direct disagreement between you and Beneglyph Group into indemnification.

17.4 Excluded Matters

You need not indemnify an Indemnified Party to the extent a matter was caused by that party’s fraud, willful misconduct, intentional unlawful conduct, nonindemnifiable gross negligence or reckless conduct, unrelated independent conduct, independent infringement, or a modification made solely by that party that created the violation. Nor does lawful criticism, a good-faith complaint, exercise of a nonwaivable right, truthful regulatory communication, or declining an engagement create indemnity.

17.5 Notice

An Indemnified Party will provide reasonably prompt notice after becoming aware of a covered claim. Delay reduces the obligation only to the extent it materially prejudices investigation or defense. Emergency, protective, legally required, or time-sensitive action need not await notice.

17.6 Defense

When a covered claim requires a defense, the Indemnified Party may tender it to you. You must assume and diligently conduct the defense using qualified counsel reasonably acceptable to the affected party. The affected party may participate at its own expense, except reasonable separate-counsel costs are covered where a material conflict exists, you fail to defend, the claim includes material uncovered matters, or law requires it.

17.7 Control of the Defense

A party controlling a defense must act reasonably and in good faith, keep affected parties informed, preserve evidence, avoid unnecessary cost, consider reasonable input, and avoid prejudicing independent rights. An Indemnified Party may assume control if you fail to defend, a material conflict exists, urgent relief is sought, Beneglyph intellectual property, security, privacy, regulatory status, reputation, or operations are materially affected, or another reasonable ground requires separate control.

17.8 Cooperation

The parties will provide reasonable cooperation and access to relevant nonprivileged information. No party must waive privilege, violate law or confidentiality, provide unrestricted sensitive-system access, make a false statement, or materially compromise security.

17.9 Settlements

You may not settle without prior written consent where the settlement requires an Indemnified Party to pay or perform, admit fault, accept an injunction or license, affect intellectual property or operations, fail to provide a complete release, or bind the party concerning another matter. Consent will not be unreasonably withheld for a fully funded settlement that imposes no admission or nonmonetary duty, provides an unconditional release, and does not materially prejudice rights.

17.10 Costs and Reimbursement

Covered amounts must be reasonable, documented, and attributable to the covered claim and may include attorneys’ fees, court and expert costs, investigation, subpoena response, judgments, approved settlements, legally indemnifiable penalties, remediation, and other direct covered costs. Duplicate recovery is not permitted, and partial coverage will be allocated appropriately.

17.11 Insurance and Other Sources

Insurance or another potential recovery source does not eliminate indemnification unless an agreement provides otherwise. An Indemnified Party may not recover more than its actual covered loss and need not delay a necessary defense while awaiting coverage.

17.12 Separate Written Agreements

A Separate Written Agreement may replace or modify this Section, provide mutual indemnities, identify different parties, define claims and exclusions, allocate risk, establish procedures, impose caps, or require insurance for its matter.

17.13 Survival and Legal Limitations

Indemnification concerning conduct while these Terms applied may survive termination. Nothing requires indemnification prohibited by law, creates liability without a covered claim, eliminates legal defenses or contribution rights, or limits a nonwaivable right.

18. Governing Law, Pre-Suit Process, Venue, and Dispute Resolution

18.1 Governing Law

These Terms and disputes arising from the Website, Website Content, Website Services, these Terms, or a direct transaction governed by them are governed by California law, without regard to rules requiring another jurisdiction’s law. Federal law governs federal claims where applicable. Nothing deprives a person of a nonwaivable protection. A Separate Written Agreement may select different law for its matter.

18.2 Notice of a Dispute

Before filing a nonemergency contested judicial proceeding, the asserting party should provide a written Notice of Dispute. Notice to Beneglyph Group may be sent by email to legal@beneglyph.com with subject “Notice of Dispute,” or by trackable mail or courier to:

The notice should include reasonably available identity and contact information, represented organization, relevant facts, affected service or provision, claimed injury or breach, requested resolution, and supporting information. Privileged, trade-secret, security-sensitive, or legally prohibited information need not be disclosed.

18.3 Informal Resolution Period

After receipt, the parties should make a good-faith effort to resolve the matter informally for at least thirty (30) days before a nonemergency judicial proceeding. They may agree to exchange information, confer, mediate, narrow issues, extend or shorten the period, or use another reasonable process. Neither party must settle, admit liability, waive a defense, reveal protected information, or continue abusive or futile negotiations.

18.4 Preservation of Claims and Deadlines

The informal process does not automatically toll, extend, revive, or alter a statute of limitations or filing deadline unless law or a written agreement provides otherwise. A party may file when reasonably necessary to preserve a claim, evidence, property, deadline, or right and, where appropriate, request a stay to complete the informal process.

18.5 Matters Not Requiring Advance Informal Resolution

Advance completion is not required for urgent provisional relief, prevention of imminent misuse or harm, preservation of a deadline, eligible small-claims proceedings, enforcement of an existing judgment or settlement, regulatory or law-enforcement communications, compliance with legal process, or another action for which advance negotiation would be unlawful, unsafe, impracticable, or prejudicial.

18.6 Optional Mediation

The parties may agree in writing to voluntary mediation. Unless agreed otherwise, participation is not mandatory, each party bears its own attorneys’ fees, neutral fees are divided equally, applicable confidentiality rules apply, and either party may end mediation after reasonable good-faith participation.

18.7 Exclusive Judicial Forum and Venue

18.8 Small-Claims Proceedings

Either party may bring an eligible individual claim in a small-claims court in Kern County, California, or another jurisdiction where nonwaivable law permits or requires. The claim must satisfy that court’s monetary, procedural, jurisdictional, and venue rules.

18.9 Provisional and Equitable Relief

A party may seek temporary or equitable relief to prevent infringement, protect confidential information, stop unauthorized access or interference, prevent payment diversion, preserve evidence or property, enforce a continuing restriction, comply with law, or prevent imminent irreparable harm. Relief should be sought in the designated forum when practicable; emergency temporary relief may be sought elsewhere with lawful jurisdiction where necessary.

18.10 No Mandatory Arbitration

These Website Terms do not require binding arbitration. Arbitration applies only if the applicable parties separately agree in a valid written agreement.

18.11 No Predispute Jury-Trial or Class-Action Waiver

These Terms contain no predispute jury-trial waiver, class-action waiver, collective-action waiver, representative-action waiver, or waiver of public injunctive or other relief available under law. This does not establish that a particular claim has a jury right, satisfies class requirements, or permits a specific form of relief.

18.12 Regulatory and Governmental Rights

Nothing prevents a complaint or communication with a regulator, government agency, or law enforcement; participation in an investigation; reporting suspected unlawful conduct; or exercise of another nonwaivable right.

18.13 Formal Service of Process

A Notice of Dispute, email, inquiry, billing communication, or informal correspondence is not formal service of legal process. Formal service must comply with law unless the recipient expressly agrees in writing to another valid method.

18.14 International and Nonwaivable Protections

The California governing-law and forum provisions apply to the fullest extent permitted but do not remove a mandatory consumer or other right, protection, remedy, or forum that cannot be waived.

18.15 Beneglyph Group Parties

Each Beneglyph Group Party is an intended beneficiary of the governing-law, venue, dispute-process, and protective provisions expressly applicable to it and may enforce them concerning authorized activities. This does not make every Beneglyph Group Party a party to every transaction or obligation.

18.16 Separate Written Agreements

A Separate Written Agreement may establish different governing law, notice, escalation, mediation, arbitration, jurisdiction, venue, procedural waivers where lawful, claim procedures, time limits, fees, provisional relief, or other dispute terms for its subject matter.

18.17 Legal Limitations

Nothing prevents a court from exercising nonwaivable or exclusive jurisdiction, requires enforcement of an invalid provision, restricts nonwaivable remedies, prohibits lawful access to courts or regulators, or prevents settlement or lawful severance.

19. Changes to These Terms

19.1 Authority to Revise

Beneglyph Group may revise these Terms when reasonably appropriate to reflect changes in the Website, Website Services, communications, operations, offerings, transactions, Professional Services, technology, security, providers, payment methods, intellectual property, terminology, frameworks, legal requirements, risk-management practices, corrections, clarifications, corporate structure, or other legitimate reasons.

A revision does not become binding merely because it is internally drafted or approved. It must be made effective through the process described in this Section and applicable law.

19.2 Effective Date and Last Updated Date

The Effective Date shown near the beginning of these Terms identifies when this version first became publicly effective. A later revision may also display a Last Updated date, version number, summary, or other identifier.

19.3 Publication of Revised Terms

Revised Terms may be published on the Website or made available through another appropriate electronic pathway. Unless another date is stated, they become effective when published and made applicable to the relevant Website Service, subject to notice, assent, existing rights and disputes, Separate Written Agreements, and law.

19.4 Notice of Material Changes

When reasonably appropriate, notice of a material change may be provided through a prominent Website or page notice, form-level notice, updated checkbox, email, direct communication, revised date or version identifier, summary, or another method reasonably designed for the circumstances. Individual notice is not required for every person who merely viewed public content and supplied no contact information.

19.5 Affirmative Acceptance

Beneglyph Group may require affirmative acceptance before a person submits a new inquiry, subscribes or resubscribes, continues using a materially changed Interactive Website Service, completes a direct transaction, receives nonpublic access, or takes another action for which renewed agreement is appropriate or legally required. Acceptance may use an initially unchecked checkbox, electronic signature, accepted transaction document, or another clear legally valid process.

19.6 Continued Use Following Notice

Where law permits and reasonably conspicuous notice states that continued use will constitute acceptance, continued use of an affected Website Service after revised Terms become effective may indicate acceptance. Silent posting does not necessarily establish assent, passive viewing does not create an agreement where Section 1 does not, and continued use does not replace required affirmative acceptance or authorize retroactive application.

19.7 Prospective Application

Unless the parties validly agree otherwise or law requires otherwise, substantive revisions apply prospectively. A revision will not retroactively transform permitted conduct into a breach; create a new payment obligation for a completed transaction; eliminate an accrued right or defense; alter responsibility for an earlier event; impose a new arbitration, forum, jury-waiver, class-waiver, indemnification, warranty, or liability provision on an existing dispute without sufficient agreement; or modify a Separate Written Agreement.

19.8 Existing Claims and Disputes

Unless validly agreed otherwise after a dispute arises, the version applicable to the conduct, transaction, communication, or event giving rise to a claim governs it. A later version does not govern merely because the dispute was reported or filed later or because the person later viewed the revision.

19.9 Nonmaterial and Administrative Changes

Beneglyph Group may correct typographical, grammatical, formatting, numbering, cross-reference, contact, factual, accessibility, readability, title, navigation, provider-neutral, and similar administrative matters without renewed acceptance when the change does not materially reduce rights or increase obligations. Substance controls over labels.

19.10 Prior Versions and Records

Beneglyph Group may retain prior effective versions and records concerning dates, identifiers, notices, forms, checkbox wording, affirmative acceptance, and the version applicable to a submission or transaction. Informal drafts that never became effective need not be retained or published.

19.11 Separate Written Agreements

These Terms cannot unilaterally amend a Separate Written Agreement. Such an agreement may be amended only through its own process or another legally valid method. A Website revision may govern Website use alongside an engagement but does not alter negotiated scope, fees, deliverables, confidentiality, intellectual property, liability, or disputes without valid agreement.

19.12 No Modification Through Informal Statements

An informal conversation, ordinary assistance, social-media post, general email, preliminary proposal, silence, unauthorized statement, or ambiguous conduct does not modify these Terms. A particular modification requires an authorized person and a legally valid written or electronic process, subject to rights recognized by law.

19.13 Discontinuing Use

If you do not agree to revised Terms validly applicable to an Interactive Website Service, stop using that service. You may also decline to submit a form, unsubscribe, discontinue preliminary discussions, decline a transaction, exercise a contractual termination right, or exercise another legal right. Disagreement does not eliminate obligations arising under an earlier version or agreement.

19.14 Legal Limitations

Nothing permits revision without sufficient notice or assent where required, prohibited retroactivity, elimination of nonwaivable rights, unilateral amendment of a Separate Written Agreement, misrepresentation of a revision, or reliance on an invalid modification process.

20. Severability, Waiver, Assignment, Order of Precedence, and Related General Terms

20.1 Severability

If a competent court determines that a provision is unlawful, invalid, or unenforceable, it will be enforced to the maximum lawful extent and limited, modified, or severed only as necessary. The remainder continues unless the provision is essential to the fundamental purpose, severance would materially alter the agreed allocation, or law requires otherwise. Invalidity in one application does not necessarily invalidate every application.

20.2 No Waiver by Delay or Inaction

Failure or delay in exercising a right, remedy, defense, restriction, or protection does not waive it, authorize prohibited conduct, create continuing permission, prevent later enforcement, or modify these Terms through course of dealing. Partial exercise does not prevent further exercise.

20.3 Express Waivers

A waiver is effective only when made by an authorized person, clearly identifying the right and matter waived, and documented in a legally sufficient written or electronic record. It applies only to the specific occasion and does not waive later breaches, other provisions, another person’s rights, or nonwaivable law.

20.4 Assignment or Delegation by You

You may not assign, transfer, delegate, sublicense, or otherwise dispose of these Terms or a right, permission, access, consent, obligation, or remedy under them without Beneglyph Group’s prior written consent. This includes attempted transfer to another person, organization, account, Affiliate, representative, or intermediary; through operation of law where restrictable; through a sale, restructuring, or change of control; or to avoid eligibility, compliance, security, payment, or access restrictions. Unauthorized attempts are ineffective to the fullest extent permitted by law.

20.5 Assignment, Delegation, or Transfer by Beneglyph Group

Subject to law and a binding Separate Written Agreement, Beneglyph Group may assign, transfer, delegate, or provide for performance of all or part of its rights and obligations to an Affiliate; a successor from merger, conversion, consolidation, reorganization, or similar transaction; a purchaser or successor involving all or a material part of the business, assets, intellectual property, Website, Website Services, offering, or line of business; an authorized service provider; or another lawful recipient reasonably connected to continuation or disposition of the activity.

An operational delegation does not, by itself, transfer ownership of these Terms or release Beneglyph Group from obligations that law continues to impose. An assignment, delegation, internal transfer, or operational arrangement does not release Beneglyph Group from an obligation that applicable law, a Separate Written Agreement, or governing transaction documents continue to impose upon it.

20.6 Successors and Permitted Assigns

These Terms bind and benefit the parties and their lawful successors and permitted assigns. A successor receives no broader right than the assigning party possessed and remains subject to applicable restrictions and defenses. A reorganization, subsidiary formation, internal Affiliate transfer, or ownership change does not by itself expand a Website user’s rights or create a professional engagement.

20.7 Order of Precedence

If applicable documents directly conflict and cannot reasonably be harmonized, the following order applies unless a binding document expressly states otherwise:

1. a Separate Written Agreement governing the particular Professional Service, license, engagement, or transaction;
2. transaction-specific terms, accepted order form, statement of work, invoice terms, warranty, or other binding document for the matter;
3. additional terms expressly presented and affirmatively accepted for a particular Website Service;
4. these Terms; and
5. general Website descriptions, FAQs, promotional materials, preliminary communications, or other nonbinding explanatory material.

A higher-ranking document controls only to the extent of direct conflict, for the parties and matter it governs, and during its applicable period. A specific provision ordinarily controls a general one, but documents should first be interpreted consistently where practicable.

20.8 Privacy Policy

The Privacy Policy principally governs personal-information practices and privacy requests; these Terms principally govern contractual access, use, and conduct. Acknowledgment of the Privacy Policy does not create intellectual-property, professional, or commercial rights. Privacy commitments, legal rights, and additional data terms remain effective.

20.9 Entire Agreement Concerning Website Services

These Terms and validly accepted additional terms constitute the entire agreement concerning the subject matter they govern and supersede prior or contemporaneous discussions and understandings concerning that same subject, except for a Separate Written Agreement, binding transaction document, applicable express warranty, the Privacy Policy concerning information practices, valid later modification or waiver, or another preserved legal right.

20.10 No Partnership, Agency, Employment, or Fiduciary Relationship

Website use does not create a partnership, joint venture, agency, franchise, employment, independent-contractor, fiduciary, professional, or authority-to-bind relationship. Neither party may bind or represent the other without express written authority.

20.11 Third-Party Beneficiaries

Except as expressly stated, these Terms create no enforceable right in a nonparty. The Beneglyph Group Parties defined in Section 16.1, the Indemnified Parties in Section 17, applicable successors and permitted assigns, and another expressly identified intended beneficiary may enforce provisions written for their protection.

Intended-beneficiary status for one provision does not make that person a party to every provision, responsible for every Beneglyph Group obligation, entitled to unrelated rights, or a party to a transaction or engagement in which it did not participate.

20.12 Independent Contractors and Service Providers

Beneglyph Group may use employees, contractors, advisers, licensors, institutions, and providers. Their involvement does not automatically create a relationship with a Website user or expand obligations beyond these Terms, law, and binding agreements.

20.13 Interpretation

Headings organize but do not independently alter meaning. “Including” means including without limitation; examples are illustrative; singular and plural include one another where context permits; “or” is inclusive unless context requires otherwise; “may” indicates permission or discretion; “must,” “will,” and “shall” indicate duty where used to impose one; “days” means calendar days unless business days are specified; legal references include effective amendments and successors; and “written” may include a legally recognized electronic record.

20.14 Electronic Records and Copies

These Terms and related notices, acceptances, records, and communications may be created, presented, stored, reproduced, and transmitted electronically, subject to law. Reliable electronic copies and archived versions may establish wording, version, effective date, interface, acceptance, and transaction information. This does not displace a legally required signature, delivery method, original, or retention standard.

20.15 Events Beyond Reasonable Control

Subject to law and a Separate Written Agreement, Beneglyph Group is not responsible for delay or failure to the extent caused by events beyond reasonable control, including disasters, severe weather, fire, public emergency, war, civil disturbance, labor disruption, governmental action, utility or provider failure, cyberattack not caused by breach of a legally applicable duty, shortage or unavailability of systems or personnel, sanctions or legal restrictions, or another event not reasonably preventable or overcome.

The obligation is excused only for the duration and extent of the effect, and proportionate mitigation will be undertaken where reasonably practicable. This does not excuse already accrued payments, legally required refunds or return of property, reasonably performable duties, nonwaivable legal duties, or conduct independently caused by Beneglyph Group.

20.16 Survival

A provision survives expiration, completion, suspension, or termination to the extent its language, purpose, or nature indicates. Surviving matters may include ownership, intellectual property, confidentiality, User Submissions and Feedback, accrued payments, records, sanctions and compliance, disclaimers, liability limits, indemnification, disputes, governing law, assignment, beneficiaries, interpretation, and accrued rights.

20.17 Cumulative Rights and Remedies

Except where an exclusive remedy is expressly identified, contractual and legal rights, powers, defenses, restrictions, and remedies are cumulative. Informal resolution, assistance, injunction, removal, suspension, or one remedy does not necessarily prevent another. Duplicate recovery is not permitted.

20.18 No Continuing Obligation From Prior Dealings

A prior transaction, accommodation, response, permission, exception, course of dealing, practice, or relationship does not require Beneglyph Group to repeat conduct, terms, pricing, access, services, remedies, approvals, waivers, communications, or engagements. Each matter may be evaluated on its own facts.

20.19 Legal Limitations

Nothing validates a prohibited assignment, waiver, disclaimer, remedy, or restriction; permits avoidance of a nonwaivable duty; expands rights beyond those expressly provided; modifies a Separate Written Agreement contrary to its process; eliminates responsibility where limitation is prohibited; or prevents a tribunal from applying law.

21. Contact Information

21.1 Beneglyph Group and the Current Website Operator

The Website and Website Services are currently operated by Beneglyph Group, LLC. References to “Beneglyph Group,” “we,” “us,” or “our” refer to Beneglyph Group, LLC unless a provision expressly states otherwise.

A current or future Affiliate may support, operate, acquire, or assume responsibility for a particular Website Service, transaction, offering, engagement, asset, or line of business when that role is identified through an applicable Website notice, Privacy Policy, transaction document, Separate Written Agreement, or other appropriate communication.

The involvement of an Affiliate does not, by itself, make that Affiliate responsible for every obligation of Beneglyph Group or make Beneglyph Group responsible for every independent obligation of that Affiliate. Responsibility depends on the applicable agreement, activity, facts, and law.

21.2 General Contact Information

The mailing address is a correspondence address. Do not use it for a payment, return, shipment, delivery requiring special handling, or another transaction-specific purpose unless appropriate instructions are provided or confirmed.

21.3 Purpose-Specific Email Addresses

• General correspondence: contact@beneglyph.com
• Strategic Inquiries: strategic@beneglyph.com
• Billing and payment matters: billing@beneglyph.com
• Receive Updates and operational unsubscribe requests: updates@beneglyph.com
• Notices of Dispute and appropriate legal correspondence: legal@beneglyph.com

Beneglyph Group may route a message internally or request resubmission through the appropriate pathway. Use of an address does not guarantee acceptance of the sender’s position or requested action.

21.4 General Contact and Strategic Inquiries

Questions, comments, permission requests, and unassigned matters may be sent to contact@beneglyph.com. A possible strategic, organizational, leadership, or Professional Service matter may be sent to strategic@beneglyph.com. Submission creates no professional, advisory, confidential, fiduciary, contractual, or other special relationship and no response obligation.

21.5 Billing and Payment Matters

Invoice, payment, duplicate charge, missing credit, authorized method, refund, or payment-application matters should be sent to billing@beneglyph.com. Do not send complete card numbers, banking credentials, passwords, authentication codes, private keys, complete government identifiers, or similarly sensitive information through ordinary email. An address displayed here does not authenticate new or changed bank or wire instructions; follow Section 12.

21.6 Receive Updates

Subscription, delivery, resubscription, and operational unsubscribe matters may be directed to updates@beneglyph.com or through an email’s unsubscribe mechanism. Sending an unrelated message to that address does not subscribe the sender or create promotional consent.

21.7 Privacy Requests

Privacy questions and personal-information requests may be directed to contact@beneglyph.com, preferably with subject “Privacy Request.” Verification of identity, authority, scope, jurisdiction, or records may be required. An operational unsubscribe request may instead go to updates@beneglyph.com.

21.8 Accessibility Assistance

A person experiencing difficulty accessing Website Content or a Website pathway may request reasonable assistance through contact@beneglyph.com, preferably with subject “Accessibility Assistance.” Describe the relevant page, content, feature, format, or difficulty without unnecessary medical or sensitive information.

21.9 Legal Correspondence and Notices of Dispute

A Notice of Dispute should be sent to legal@beneglyph.com with subject “Notice of Dispute,” or by trackable mail or courier to the mailing address above. Use of that address does not mean Beneglyph Group accepts assertions, admits liability, waives defenses, agrees that notice requirements are met, or consents to service of process by email.

21.10 Formal Service of Process

Published email and mailing addresses are not, merely by publication, substitutes for formal service of legal process. Service must comply with applicable law and may require service upon the properly designated registered agent or another authorized recipient. The Bakersfield correspondence address is not identified as the registered office or registered-agent address.

21.11 Website-Generated Communications

Beneglyph Group may use website@beneglyph.com or another authorized address for form acknowledgments, routing notices, automated confirmations, administrative Website messages, delivery or error notifications, or other Website-generated communications. It should not be relied upon as a general support, billing, privacy, legal, strategic, or emergency pathway unless a message expressly states otherwise.

21.12 Other Beneglyph.com Addresses

Other domain addresses may exist for internal, individual, administrative, operational, or future purposes. Existence does not designate an address as public, authorize legal notice, guarantee monitoring or response, grant access to a particular person, or alter the routing instructions above.

21.13 Confidential, Proprietary, and Sensitive Information

Unless a Separate Written Agreement or authorized secure process permits otherwise, do not send confidential, proprietary, trade-secret, privileged, security-sensitive, regulated, or similarly sensitive information through a public form, public email, or unsolicited communication. A “confidential” label does not itself create a confidentiality obligation or privilege.

21.14 No Emergency or Continuous-Monitoring Service

The forms, email addresses, and mailing address are not emergency systems and are not represented as continuously monitored. Do not rely on them for imminent danger, urgent medical or safety matters, immediate financial recall or fraud intervention, immediate incident containment, deadline-sensitive legal delivery, or another circumstance requiring guaranteed immediate action.

21.15 Responses and Delivery

Beneglyph Group does not guarantee delivery, routing, review within a particular period, response, indefinite retention, or a requested outcome. A technical confirmation or automated acknowledgment does not establish substantive review, acceptance, agreement, or a relationship.

21.16 Changes to Contact Information

Beneglyph Group may add, replace, consolidate, redirect, or discontinue an address or pathway. Current information may be published on the Website or in an appropriate notice. Administrative contact updates may be made under Section 19 without renewed acceptance when they do not materially reduce rights or increase obligations.

21.17 Separate Written Agreements

A Separate Written Agreement may provide different contacts, representatives, notice addresses, billing contacts, security procedures, delivery methods, response expectations, escalation paths, or formal-notice requirements. Its specific provisions control for its matter to the extent of conflict.

21.18 No Modification or Waiver Through Contact Information

Publication or use of a contact address does not modify these Terms, waive notice or service requirements, authorize a person to bind Beneglyph Group, create a warranty of response, accept unsolicited terms, create a professional relationship, or waive a right, defense, privilege, or protection.
