Terms of Use

These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern access to the website howto-playbooks.com and the digital playbooks distributed through it ("the Service"). By using the Service you agree to these Terms.

1. The product

Howto Playbooks publishes structured, case-study-driven guides for using consumer AI tools. The current product is "The ChatGPT Playbook," a downloadable digital guide.

2. Purchases and Merchant of Record

All purchases are processed by Lemon Squeezy (Atlar Inc.) acting as Merchant of Record. The contract of sale for the playbook is between you and Lemon Squeezy. Lemon Squeezy handles billing, tax collection and remittance, and refunds. By completing a purchase you also accept the Lemon Squeezy Buyer Terms.

3. License

Upon purchase you receive a personal, non-transferable, non-exclusive license to access and use the playbook for your own learning. You may not:

• Resell, redistribute, sublicense, or share the playbook with third parties.
• Reproduce the playbook publicly or claim authorship of its content.
• Use the playbook to train machine learning models, build derivative commercial products, or scrape its content programmatically.

All intellectual property in the playbook — including text, structure, illustrations, and case studies — remains the property of Howto Playbooks.

4. Refunds

Refunds are handled by Lemon Squeezy under our refund policy. See /refund/ for the details.

5. Acceptable use

You agree not to use the Service in any manner that violates applicable law, infringes the rights of others, or attempts to interfere with the technical operation of the site. This includes (but is not limited to) automated scraping, denial-of-service attempts, and circumventing access controls.

6. No professional advice

The playbook provides educational content about working with AI tools. It does not constitute legal, financial, medical, or professional advice. You are responsible for evaluating whether any technique applies to your specific situation.

7. Disclaimer of warranties

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including without limitation any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that ChatGPT or any third-party AI tool will produce any particular result.

8. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event will Howto Playbooks be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits or revenues, whether incurred directly or indirectly. Our total liability for any claim relating to the Service is limited to the amount you paid for the playbook in the twelve months preceding the claim.

9. Trademarks

"ChatGPT" is a trademark of OpenAI, OpenAI, L.L.C., and/or its affiliates. Howto Playbooks is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or otherwise officially connected to OpenAI. Our use of "ChatGPT" is descriptive — the playbook is a guide for using ChatGPT effectively.

10. Geographic availability

The Service is currently offered to visitors in the United States. We may expand availability to other regions in the future, at which point additional terms or local-language disclosures may apply.

11. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of Switzerland, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. Any dispute that cannot be resolved through good-faith communication will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Zurich, Switzerland — except where mandatory consumer-protection laws of your jurisdiction require otherwise.

12. Changes to these terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be reflected in the "Last updated" date above. Continued use of the Service after a change constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
