Do not publish. This page is a structural placeholder only, same review requirement as the Privacy Policy. It needs founder and legal sign-off — particularly around the referral-fee/commission language and liability terms — before it goes live.
Terms of Service
Acceptance of terms
By accessing or using AmericaIsOnline.net (the "Site"), you agree to these Terms of Service. If you don't agree, please don't use the Site.Entity name pending
Placeholder: needs the registered legal entity name, jurisdiction of incorporation, and effective date before publishing — must match the Privacy Policy's entity section exactly.
What the service is
AmericaIsOnline.net helps small and midsize businesses evaluate their readiness for AI adoption and connects them with AI tool vendors and implementation partners that have gone through our vetting process. The Site includes the Readiness Assessment, a searchable Directory of listings, and educational content.
Eligibility
The Site is intended for business use by individuals authorized to act on behalf of their business. You must be able to form a binding contract to use the Site.
Using the Assessment & Directory
The Readiness Assessment and Directory are provided to help you research AI vendors and implementation partners. Your assessment results and any recommendations are informational only — they aren't a guarantee that a given vendor or partner is right for your business, and you're responsible for your own due diligence before engaging anyone you find through the Site.
Vendor & partner listings
If you submit a listing as a vendor or implementation partner, you agree that the information you provide — including your data-handling summary and SME experience evidence — is accurate and that you have the right to publish it. We reserve the right to review, reject, or remove any listing that doesn't meet our vetting criteria, described on the Trust & Security page.
Placeholder: needs language on listing removal appeals, claim-listing disputes, and what happens to a listing if the vendor account is inactive — flag for founder/legal input.
No endorsement, no guarantee
Inclusion in the Directory means a listing has passed our vetting gate — it is not an endorsement, warranty, or guarantee of any vendor's or partner's work, and we are not a party to any agreement you enter into with them. Any engagement between you and a vendor or partner is solely between you and that business.
Featured listings & payment
We plan to offer a paid featured-listing option for vendors and partners in the future. Paid listings are not active at this time, and this section will be updated with pricing and payment terms once that feature is live.
Placeholder: per Doc A Action Plan, referral-fee/commission percentages are not yet confirmed and must not be published here (or anywhere on the Site) until the founder signs off. This clause should be finalized alongside the WooCommerce Phase 2 rollout.
Acceptable use
When using the Site, you agree not to:
- Submit false or misleading information in a listing or the Readiness Assessment.
- Attempt to access, scrape, or copy the Site's content or listings in bulk without permission.
- Interfere with the security or normal operation of the Site.
- Use the Site for any unlawful purpose.
Intellectual property
The Site's design, text, and educational content (including the Resources library) belong to AmericaIsOnline.net unless otherwise noted. Vendor and partner listing content remains the property of the business that submitted it, and is displayed on the Site under license from that business.
Disclaimers
The Site and its content are provided "as is," without warranties of any kind. We do not guarantee that the Readiness Assessment, Directory, or any listing will meet your specific needs.
Placeholder: full disclaimer language (including any "AS IS" capitalization convention and disclaimer of implied warranties) should be drafted by counsel to match the jurisdiction chosen for Section 13.
Limitation of liability
To the extent permitted by law, AmericaIsOnline.net is not liable for any damages arising from your use of the Site or your engagement with any vendor or implementation partner found through it.
Placeholder: liability caps, exclusions, and any indemnification language need to be drafted and confirmed by legal counsel — this is the highest-risk clause on this page and should not be finalized without review.
Termination
We may suspend or terminate access to the Site, including removing a vendor or partner listing, at our discretion — including for violating these Terms or failing our vetting standards.
Governing law
Jurisdiction pending
Placeholder: governing law and venue must be set by the founder/legal counsel based on where the business is registered. Do not publish this section blank or with a guessed jurisdiction.
Changes to these terms
We may update these Terms as the Site changes. Material changes will be reflected with an updated effective date once this page is published.
