Terms of Service

Last updated: March 17, 2026

1. Acceptance of Terms

These Terms of Service ("Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between you ("User," "you," or "your") and AI First Era ("Company," "we," "us," or "our"), governing your access to and use of the website located at aifirstera.com, including all subdomains, related applications, newsletters, online courses, training materials, digital downloads, community features, and any other services we offer (collectively, the "Services").

By accessing the Services in any manner — including visiting the website, subscribing to our newsletter, creating an account, purchasing a course or training program, downloading any materials, or clicking "I agree" or any similar affirmation — you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated herein by reference.

If you are using the Services on behalf of a business entity, organization, or employer, you represent and warrant that you have the legal authority to bind that entity to these Terms. In such case, "you" and "your" shall refer to both you individually and that entity. If you do not have such authority, or if you do not agree with any part of these Terms, you must not access or use the Services.

2. Eligibility

The Services are intended solely for individuals who meet all of the following criteria. By using the Services, you represent and warrant that:

• You are at least 18 years of age or the age of majority in your jurisdiction, whichever is greater;
• You have the legal capacity and authority to enter into binding contracts under applicable law;
• You are not located in a country subject to a U.S. government trade embargo or designated as a "terrorist-supporting country" by the U.S. government;
• You are not named on any U.S. government list of prohibited or restricted persons or entities, including OFAC's Specially Designated Nationals list;
• Your use of the Services does not violate any applicable federal, state, local, or international law or regulation.

We do not knowingly provide Services to or collect personal information from individuals under the age of 18. If we become aware that a person under 18 has subscribed to our Services or provided personal information, we will take steps to remove that information and terminate that access without notice. If you believe a minor has used our Services, please notify us immediately at info@aifirstera.com.

3. Accounts & Subscriptions

3.1 Account Registration

Certain features of the Services may require you to register for an account. When registering, you agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information and to maintain and promptly update that information as necessary to keep it accurate and complete. Providing false, misleading, or incomplete information is grounds for immediate account termination.

3.2 Account Security

You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials, including your password, and for all activity that occurs under your account, whether or not authorized by you. You agree to immediately notify us at info@aifirstera.com of any suspected unauthorized use of your account or any other breach of security. We will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to safeguard your account credentials.

3.3 One Account Per Person

You may not create or operate more than one account. Creating multiple accounts to circumvent restrictions, obtain additional benefits, or for any other reason is prohibited and may result in termination of all associated accounts.

3.4 Newsletter Subscriptions

Subscribing to our newsletter creates a subscriber record associated with your email address. You may unsubscribe at any time using the unsubscribe link included in every email we send, or by contacting us directly. Re-subscribing after having previously unsubscribed constitutes fresh acceptance of these Terms as then in effect.

3.5 Paid Subscriptions and Course Enrollments

Where paid subscriptions, course enrollments, or other Paid Services are offered, you agree to pay all applicable fees at the rates stated at the time of purchase. All fees are denominated in U.S. dollars unless otherwise specified. Pricing, features, and availability of Paid Services are subject to change; we will provide reasonable advance notice of material price increases. Failure to pay applicable fees may result in immediate suspension or termination of your access to the applicable Paid Services without further notice.

3.6 Taxes

You are responsible for all taxes, duties, and government-imposed fees applicable to your purchases from AI First Era. Where required by law, we will collect and remit applicable sales taxes; any such taxes will be stated separately at checkout.

3.7 Refund Policy

Specific refund terms for each Paid Service will be stated at the point of purchase. Unless a specific refund window or satisfaction guarantee is expressly offered in connection with a particular purchase, all sales are final. Where a refund window is advertised, you must submit your refund request before the stated deadline by emailing info@aifirstera.com. We reserve the right to deny refund requests that we reasonably determine are made in bad faith, that abuse our refund policy, or that involve substantial consumption of course content prior to the request.

3.8 Account Termination by You

You may close your account at any time by contacting us at info@aifirstera.com. Account closure does not entitle you to any refund for Paid Services already rendered or course content already accessed, except as otherwise required by applicable law or expressly stated in our refund policy.

4. Newsletter Service

AI First Era publishes a newsletter covering artificial intelligence, business strategy, productivity workflows, AI tools, and related topics. The newsletter is delivered to subscribers via email and may also be published on our website.

Our newsletter constitutes editorial and educational content only. It does not constitute and should not be relied upon as financial, investment, legal, tax, accounting, medical, or any other form of professional advice. See Section 11 (Disclaimers) for additional important limitations.

We reserve the right to change the frequency, format, subject matter, or content focus of the newsletter at any time and without prior notice. We may temporarily suspend newsletter delivery due to technical issues, scheduled maintenance, editorial decisions, or other operational reasons, and we shall have no liability for any such suspension.

Our newsletter may include sponsored content, partner promotions, or affiliate links. We will make commercially reasonable efforts to identify such material as sponsored or promotional where required by applicable law, including the FTC's endorsement guidelines. The presence of sponsored content does not affect our editorial independence with respect to non-sponsored material.

5. Paid Services & Trainings

5.1 Scope of Paid Offerings

In addition to our free newsletter, AI First Era may offer paid products and services including, without limitation, online courses, training programs, live workshops, cohort-based programs, digital downloads, templates, toolkits, prompt libraries, community memberships, and one-on-one or group coaching (collectively, "Paid Services"). These Terms apply to all Paid Services in addition to any supplemental or product-specific terms presented at the time of purchase, which are incorporated herein by reference.

5.2 License to Access Paid Content

Upon purchase of a Paid Service and receipt of full payment, AI First Era grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use the purchased content solely for your own personal, non-commercial purposes, subject to these Terms. This license does not transfer any ownership rights to you. All intellectual property rights in the content remain exclusively with AI First Era.

5.3 Access Duration

Unless otherwise stated at the time of purchase, access to course or training content is provided for as long as we continue to make that content available on the platform ("lifetime access"). We reserve the right to retire, significantly revise, or discontinue course content at any time. We will make commercially reasonable efforts to provide advance notice to affected purchasers, but we are not obligated to maintain any particular course indefinitely.

5.4 No Sharing or Redistribution

You may not share your account credentials, resell, sublicense, distribute, copy, record, screenshot, or publicly display any Paid Service content. Each purchase is for a single user. Group or team licensing options may be available upon request. Any unauthorized sharing or redistribution immediately and automatically terminates your license without notice and may expose you to claims for damages, including our lost revenue.

5.5 No Guarantee of Results

Individual outcomes from any training, course, or educational content will vary materially. We make no representation or warranty that you will achieve any specific business result, revenue level, cost savings, productivity improvement, or other outcome from participating in any Paid Service. See Section 11 (Disclaimers) for full details.

Before initiating any formal legal proceeding against AI First Era, you agree to first contact us at info@aifirstera.com and attempt to resolve the dispute informally. Your written notice must describe the nature of the dispute, the specific relief you are seeking, and your contact information. We will attempt to resolve the dispute in good faith within 30 days of receiving your notice. If we are unable to resolve the dispute within that period, either party may proceed to formal dispute resolution as set forth below. The informal dispute resolution period is a prerequisite to initiating arbitration or litigation, and any applicable statute of limitations shall be tolled during this 30-day period.

You may opt out of binding arbitration within 30 days of first accepting these Terms by sending written notice to info@aifirstera.com with the subject line "Arbitration Opt-Out" and your name, email address, and a clear statement of your intent to opt out. If you opt out, any disputes shall be resolved in the courts identified in Section 14.4 below. Opting out of arbitration does not affect any other part of these Terms.

14.3 Class Action Waiver

14.4 Governing Law and Venue

These Terms and all disputes arising hereunder shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, United States, without giving effect to any choice-of-law or conflict-of-law rules that would cause the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction. For all claims and disputes not subject to binding arbitration under Section 14.2, or where arbitration is deemed unenforceable, you and AI First Era each irrevocably consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state courts located in New York County, New York, and the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. You waive any objection to such jurisdiction and venue, including any objection based on inconvenient forum.

When we make changes, we will: (a) post the revised Terms on this page; (b) update the "Last updated" date at the top of this document; and (c) for material changes, make commercially reasonable efforts to provide you with notice, which may include sending an email to your registered email address, displaying a prominent notice on the Services, or other appropriate means.

22. Force Majeure

AI First Era shall not be in breach of these Terms or otherwise liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations under these Terms to the extent such failure or delay is caused by or results from circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including but not limited to: acts of God; natural disasters (including earthquakes, floods, fires, or storms); epidemic or pandemic; acts of terrorism or war; civil unrest, insurrection, or riot; action, inaction, or order of any governmental or regulatory authority; embargoes or sanctions; internet or telecommunications outages or failures; disruptions to third-party platforms, hosting providers, or infrastructure; cyberattacks, distributed denial-of-service attacks, or other malicious acts by third parties; or labor disputes or strikes (each, a "Force Majeure Event").

23. General Provisions

23.1 Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and any supplemental or product-specific terms presented at the time of purchase of a Paid Service, constitute the entire agreement between you and AI First Era with respect to the Services and supersede all prior and contemporaneous negotiations, agreements, representations, warranties, understandings, and communications between the parties, whether oral or written, relating to the subject matter of these Terms.

23.2 Severability

If any provision of these Terms is held by a court or arbitrator of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable for any reason, that provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, or if modification is not possible, it shall be severed from these Terms. The invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability of any provision shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision, and the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.

23.3 Waiver

No failure or delay by AI First Era in exercising any right, power, remedy, or privilege under these Terms shall constitute or operate as a waiver of that right, power, remedy, or privilege. No single or partial exercise of any right, power, remedy, or privilege shall preclude any further or other exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power, remedy, or privilege. Any waiver of a breach or default under these Terms must be in writing and signed by a duly authorized representative of AI First Era to be effective and shall not constitute a waiver of any subsequent breach or default of the same or any other provision.

23.4 Assignment

You may not assign, delegate, sublicense, or otherwise transfer any of your rights or obligations under these Terms, in whole or in part, without our prior written consent, and any attempted assignment without such consent shall be null and void. AI First Era may freely assign, delegate, or transfer these Terms, or any of its rights or obligations hereunder, without restriction and without notice to you, including in connection with a merger, acquisition, asset sale, change of control, reorganization, or by operation of law.
