Terms of Service

Effective date: September 9, 2026

These are interim terms for Ratify’s closed beta. They are written to be short enough to actually read. They will be updated when we exit beta, and the counsel review that produces the final language is dated to our first funding close rather than to a calendar date (see Section 14).

1. Acceptance of Terms

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) are an agreement between you and Ratify. By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to them. If you use Ratify on behalf of a business, you accept these Terms for that business too.

2. The Service (Closed Beta)

Ratify provides software-as-a-service tools for beverage-alcohol producers to understand and manage direct-to-consumer (DTC) and wholesale compliance obligations. Ratify is an informational and advisory tool; we are not attorneys and do not provide legal advice.

Ratify is currently a closed beta. The Service is provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind. Beta features may change, break, or be discontinued at any time, and we do not promise any particular availability, accuracy, or roadmap while the beta runs.

3. Not Legal Advice

All compliance information produced by Ratify, including AI-generated answers, research summaries, and recommendations, is for informational purposes only and does not constitute legal advice. Customers are responsible for their own compliance with applicable federal, state, and local laws and should consult qualified legal counsel for decisions that depend on accurate interpretation of those laws.

4. Acceptable Use

Use the Service lawfully and don’t abuse it: no attempts to break, probe, or overload it; no scraping or reselling it; no using it to violate someone else’s rights; no interfering with other users. We may suspend or terminate accounts for abuse or for violating these Terms (see Section 12).

5. Accounts

Keep your credentials secure — you are responsible for activity under your account. Fees, and what happens if we introduce them, are in Section 8. You can stop using the Service and ask us to close your account at any time.

6. Data Handling

How we collect, use, and retain data is described in our Privacy Policy, which is the authoritative statement of our data practices.

7. Limitation of Liability

Interim terms — pending counsel review. The final, counsel-reviewed language may differ.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Ratify’s total aggregate liability arising out of or relating to these Terms or your use of the Service — whether in contract, tort (including negligence), or any other theory — will not exceed the greater of (a) the total fees you paid to Ratify for the Service in the twelve (12) months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) one hundred U.S. dollars (US$100).

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Ratify will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, or goodwill, arising out of or relating to the Service — even if Ratify has been advised of the possibility of such damages. Because Ratify is an informational and advisory tool and not a substitute for legal counsel (see Sections 2 and 3), you remain responsible for your own compliance decisions.

Nothing in these Terms limits or excludes any liability that cannot be limited or excluded under applicable law.

8. Fees and Payment

Interim terms — pending counsel review. The final, counsel-reviewed language may differ.

Ratify charges no fees during the closed beta. We do not collect payment details, we do not issue invoices, and there is nothing for you to pay. If we introduce paid plans, we will publish the plan and its terms and get your agreement before any charge is made — continuing to use the free beta is never by itself an agreement to pay.

Because the fee base is zero today, the first limb of the cap in Section 7 — the fees you paid in the preceding twelve months — is zero for a beta user, so the limit that actually applies is the fixed alternative limb stated in Section 7. Apart from the liability Section 7 says cannot be limited or excluded, that fixed amount is the monetary liability Ratify accepts under these interim terms. Section 7 is the operative text; this paragraph only says what it means while the fees are zero.

9. Taxes

Interim terms — pending counsel review. The final, counsel-reviewed language may differ.

No fee is charged during the closed beta, so no sales, use, or similar transaction tax is charged or collected today. Any fee we may charge in the future is stated exclusive of those taxes. Where Ratify is registered to collect a transaction tax in your jurisdiction, that tax is shown separately and added at the time of purchase; where Ratify is not registered to collect it, any such tax you owe on the purchase remains yours to pay directly to your own authorities.

These Terms publish no registration list, and you should not rely on one appearing here: the tax treatment that applies to an order is stated at the point of purchase, where it can be current. Taxes on your own income, and your own business filings, stay yours.

10. Renewal and Price Changes

Interim terms — pending counsel review. The final, counsel-reviewed language may differ.

Beta access is not a subscription and does not renew — nothing renews today because nothing is sold today. If we introduce paid plans, we will state before you subscribe whether the plan renews, over what term, and how to turn renewal off.

We will give you advance notice, at the email address on your account, before any new or increased price takes effect for you, and that notice will say when it takes effect and how to cancel before it does. We have not fixed the length of that notice period yet; we will state it in these Terms before we rely on it, and we will not apply a price change to a period you have already paid for.

11. Refunds and Disputes

Interim terms — pending counsel review. The final, counsel-reviewed language may differ.

Nothing is charged during the closed beta, so there is nothing to refund. If we introduce paid plans, the refund terms will be stated in these Terms before the first charge and will apply to charges made after they are published; we will not apply a refund rule retroactively.

If you think a charge is wrong, tell us at the notice address in Section 15 and we will look into it and reply. These Terms do not name a governing law, a venue, or an arbitration forum, and nothing in them asks you to give up a right or a remedy you would otherwise have — those provisions belong to the counsel-reviewed language described in Section 14.

12. Suspension and Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service for abuse, for violating these Terms, or if we discontinue the beta or a beta feature. Where reasonable, we will give you notice. On termination your right to use the Service ends; what happens to your data is described in the Privacy Policy.

13. Feedback

The beta exists to learn. If you send us feedback or suggestions, we may use them to improve the Service without owing you anything for them.

14. Changes to These Terms

These Terms will be updated when we exit beta — and the counsel review that produces the final language is dated to our first funding close, not to a calendar date we would be guessing at. Beta exit and that close are independent events and either may come first, so we do not promise counsel-reviewed language by a date we do not control. If we make material changes before then, we will notify account holders at the email address on their account. Continuing to use the Service after a change takes effect means you accept the updated Terms.

15. Notices

Interim terms — pending counsel review. The final, counsel-reviewed language may differ.

Notices to Ratify under these Terms — a billing question, a legal notice, or anything else this document says to tell us — go to support@getratify.ai. That is Ratify’s address of record for these Terms, and these Terms name no other one; a notice sent anywhere else may not reach the people who can act on it.

Notices to you go to the email address on your account, so keep that address current. It is the channel these Terms use for the price notice in Section 10 and the material-change notice in Section 14.
