Terms of Service — PatentSonar (DRAFT, under legal review)

Provider. PatentSonar ("we"), a company organised under the laws of Brazil, CNPJ [●], address [●]. Contact: legal@patentsonar.com.

1. Service. We provide a subscription information service consisting of a weekly email briefing, periodic reports and, for certain plans, alerts and archive access (the "Service") concerning published patent documents in the field of rare-earth-free and rare-earth-lean permanent magnets.

2. Information only. The Service is informational. It is not legal advice, a freedom-to-operate opinion, a validity opinion or investment advice. Patent data is sourced from official patent offices and public datasets; we work to reproduce it accurately but do not warrant completeness or fitness for any decision. You remain responsible for verifying any patent document with the issuing office.

3. Subscription, fees, taxes. Plans, seats and fees are those shown at checkout. Fees are charged in advance for each billing period by our merchant of record (Paddle.com Market Ltd or Paddle.com Inc.), which is the seller of record for tax purposes and issues the receipt. Applicable taxes are added or reverse-charged according to your location and tax ID.

4. Term and cancellation. Subscriptions renew automatically each period until cancelled. You may cancel at any time from your account or by email; cancellation takes effect at the end of the current paid period. Refunds are governed by the Refund Policy.

5. Licence and permitted use. Content is licensed to the subscribing legal entity for internal business use by the number of readers on the plan. You may quote short excerpts internally with attribution. You may not resell, republish, redistribute outside your organisation, or use the content to train a commercial product without our written consent. Bibliographic patent data itself is public and remains free for any use.

6. Accounts and readers. You are responsible for keeping reader lists accurate and for reader compliance with these terms. Forwarding to non-licensed readers is a breach.

7. Availability. We aim to deliver the weekly issue every week but may skip or delay issues (for example over holidays or on data-source outages). If we deliver fewer than 45 weekly issues in any 12-month paid period, you may request a pro-rata credit.

8. Intellectual property. Analyst commentary, layouts and compilations are our copyright. Trademarks of patent applicants are theirs.

9. Privacy. Personal data is processed as described in the Privacy Policy. Where you require it, we will sign our standard Data Processing Addendum.

10. Liability. To the maximum extent permitted by law, our aggregate liability arising out of the Service in any 12-month period is limited to the fees you paid for the Service in that period. We are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, including loss of profits or of any patent right.

11. Termination for cause. We may suspend or terminate a subscription for non-payment or material breach after notice and a 14-day cure period where cure is possible.

12. Changes. We may update these terms on 30 days' notice by email. Continued use after the effective date is acceptance. Price changes never apply before the end of your current paid term.

13. Governing law and disputes. [To be confirmed by counsel: Brazilian law with courts of [city], or an arbitration clause; consider English-law option for EU/US enterprise customers.]
