The terms under which we are bound.

The vocabulary of the bind.

Words that recur, and what they mean here. Where the context plainly demands otherwise, the plain meaning wins; otherwise, these definitions govern.

• Service. The Workin software-as-a-service offering, including the dashboard at workin.press, the seven correspondents, the onboarding interview, the deliverables they produce, and any related APIs, mobile surfaces, or e-mailed reports.
• Subscriber, you, editor-in-chief. The natural person who has registered an account, verified a phone number, and is responsible for everything the correspondents do at that account.
• Workin, we, the press, us. Self-Driving Companies, Inc., a Delaware corporation, doing business as Workin Press.
• Correspondent, desk. One of the seven autonomous AI agents — Planning, Development, Legal, Finance, Marketing, Investment, Utility — that operate inside an isolated virtual machine on your behalf.
• Wire. The append-only event log of correspondent activity that appears on your dashboard. The wire is the canonical record of what was done; if the dashboard and the wire disagree, the wire is correct.
• Deliverable. Any file, document, code, image, plan, e-mail draft, contract draft, financial model, screenshot, or other artefact produced by a correspondent and filed to your workspace.
• Output. Any text, audio, image, or other content generated by a correspondent in the ordinary course of work, whether or not filed as a Deliverable. All Deliverables are Outputs; not all Outputs are Deliverables.
• Founder Profile. The structured record we derive from your onboarding interview — mission, constraints, capital, jurisdiction, risk tolerance, languages — that the correspondents read before each session.
• Subscription Fee. The recurring monthly amount charged for the Service, denominated in U.S. dollars, exclusive of tax.
• Trial Period. The fourteen (14) consecutive calendar days following the moment you complete phone verification, during which no Subscription Fee is charged.
• Processor. A third party listed in the Privacy Policy that receives data on our behalf in order for the Service to function (Stripe, Vonage, Deepgram, Anthropic, OpenAI, hosting providers).
• Acceptable Use Policy, AUP. The document at workin.press/aup, incorporated here in full.
• Confidential Information. Defined in §13.

You are subscribing, not licensing.

Workin is sold by the month. There is no perpetual license, no on-premises installation, no shrink-wrap, no purchase order, no enterprise tier (yet), and no white-label arrangement. When your subscription lapses, the seven correspondents stop reporting to you, the dashboard goes read-only, and you stop paying. Symmetrical and simple.

The relationship is between Workin and you, the named subscriber. It is not transferable, not assignable to your company, your co-founder, your spouse, or your future employer without our prior written consent (see §26). It is not a joint venture, partnership, agency, employment, or fiduciary relationship. The correspondents are not your employees; you are not ours.

Your subscription confers a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable right to access the Service during the term, subject to these terms, the AUP, the Privacy Policy, and the laws that apply to you. Nothing in this document grants you any right in the Workin software, models, prompts, weights, infrastructure, brand, trade dress, or trade secrets.

An autonomous staff of seven.

The Service consists of, at the time of writing: (a) a phone-call onboarding interview conducted by an editor-in-chief agent in your preferred language; (b) seven autonomous correspondents — Planning, Development, Legal, Finance, Marketing, Investment, Utility — that operate continuously inside isolated virtual machines provisioned by us; (c) a dashboard at workin.press from which you may observe, instruct, pause, redirect, or fire any correspondent; (d) the deliverables they file to your workspace; (e) the wire, the colophon, and any subsidiary surfaces (e-mail digests, mobile push notifications, exported archives) we may add or remove from time to time.

The correspondents are software. They are not licensed attorneys, certified public accountants, registered investment advisors, broker-dealers, fiduciaries, doctors, therapists, fiduciaries, employees, contractors, or notaries. They are very good at imitating the tone, format, and surface confidence of those roles. They are not those roles. Do not rely on a correspondent for advice that requires a license. If a correspondent files something that looks like legal counsel, take it to a lawyer; if it looks like an opinion on a security, take it to a registered advisor.

The composition of the staff may change. We may, in our reasonable judgment, add a new desk, retire one, rename one, change the underlying foundation model that powers one, or temporarily disable one for safety, regulatory, or commercial reasons. We will not silently remove a desk on which you depend without at least 30 days' notice in the wire and an e-mailed digest.

Of legal majority, not on a list.

To subscribe, you must: (a) be at least the age of legal majority in your jurisdiction (18 in most U.S. states, 19 in Korea, 20 in Japan, etc.); (b) have the legal capacity to enter into a contract; (c) not be a person, or a representative of a person, listed on the U.S. Treasury's OFAC SDN list, the EU consolidated sanctions list, the UK HM Treasury list, or any equivalent restricted-party list applicable to us; (d) not be located in, ordinarily resident in, or controlled from a country subject to comprehensive U.S. trade sanctions (currently Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria, and the Crimea/Donetsk/Luhansk regions of Ukraine).

You may use the Service in connection with a business you own, control, or are an officer of, but the contract remains with you personally. The phone number on the account is the controlling identity; ownership of the underlying business does not transfer with the account, and vice-versa.

If you are using the Service on behalf of an organisation, you represent that you are authorised to bind that organisation to these terms — and you and the organisation are jointly and severally liable for compliance.

One account, one human, one phone.

Accounts are issued per phone number, verified by one-time passcode delivered over SMS or voice via Vonage. The phone number is the account identifier; e-mail is supplementary. You are responsible for: (a) keeping the phone reasonably secure; (b) preventing the OTP message from being read by anyone you would not allow to file deliverables on your behalf; (c) updating the phone number through the dashboard if you change carriers, lose the device, or sell it.

One human, one account. You may not register multiple accounts to evade rate limits, suspensions, the trial period, or volume-based pricing tiers. We may detect duplicate accounts through device fingerprints, payment instruments, network signals, or correspondent behaviour patterns; on detection, we may merge, suspend, or terminate the duplicates without refund.

You are responsible for everything done by, with, or through your account, including every action taken by a correspondent under your instructions, every deliverable filed, every e-mail sent, every API call made, and every dollar charged — whether or not you personally authorised the specific act, and whether or not you were present at the keyboard. The correspondents act under your authority; you are accountable for the consequences.

If you suspect your account is compromised, write to security@workin.press. We will lock the account on receipt of a credible report and contact you on the verified phone number for confirmation.

Fourteen days, no card.

New accounts receive a Trial Period of fourteen consecutive calendar days, beginning at the moment you complete phone verification. During the Trial Period: (a) no Subscription Fee is charged; (b) no payment instrument is required; (c) the full staff of seven correspondents is available, subject to fair-use rate limits described below; (d) you may export, retain, or transfer any deliverables produced exactly as if you were a paying subscriber.

Fair use during the Trial Period is set, at the time of writing, at: (i) up to four hundred (400) correspondent-hours of compute, aggregated across all desks; (ii) up to fifty (50) outbound e-mails, calls, or SMS sent through the marketing or utility desks; (iii) up to two (2) gigabytes of deliverable storage. Limits may be revised by us with notice in the wire. Exceeding a limit pauses the relevant desk; you may upgrade to a paid subscription mid-trial to lift the pause.

One Trial Period per human. Re-registering with a fresh phone number after a previous trial expired does not reset the clock; we may detect and refuse repeat trials. The Trial Period converts automatically to a paid monthly subscription only if and when you provide a valid payment instrument and confirm the conversion in the dashboard. No automatic charge occurs at the end of the Trial Period.

The shortlist of flat refusals.

You may not, and may not direct any correspondent to:

• Break a law that applies to you, or to us, or to the persons whose data you have entrusted to the Service;
• Generate, request, store, transmit, or solicit child sexual abuse material in any form, ever;
• Plan, coordinate, finance, or execute violence against persons, critical infrastructure, public officials, or identifiable groups;
• Produce instructions, recipes, or operational guidance for the synthesis or deployment of chemical, biological, radiological, or nuclear weapons, or for the manufacture of firearms, explosives, or controlled substances;
• Generate non-consensual intimate imagery of any real person, including by face-swap, voice-clone, or any other synthesis;
• Operate a scam, a phishing campaign, a pump-and-dump, an advance-fee fraud, a romance fraud, an AI-content farm masquerading as journalism, or any business whose principal product is deception;
• Reverse-engineer, decompile, disassemble, model-extract, fingerprint, scrape, mirror, or otherwise attempt to derive the source code, prompts, weights, training data, fine-tunes, or system architecture of the Service or any of its model providers;
• Resell the Service, sub-license access, run a service-bureau on top of it, expose the correspondents as an API to unaffiliated third parties, or operate a managed-service business whose substrate is Workin without our prior written consent;
• Use the Service to build, train, evaluate, benchmark, or improve a competing AI agent, model, or autonomous-business product;
• Submit content designed to interfere with the operation of a correspondent (prompt-injection attacks, model-poisoning, jailbreak prompts, cost-amplification loops);
• Probe, scan, or test the security of the Service without written permission under our coordinated-disclosure programme (write to security@workin.press);
• Run automation against the dashboard or any API endpoint at a sustained rate exceeding ten times (10×) the rate of a human user, or in a way that materially burdens shared infrastructure.

The complete and current list lives in our Acceptable Use Policy, which is incorporated here by reference and updated more frequently than these terms. Violations are grounds for immediate suspension under §16, termination under §18, and forfeiture of any prepaid balance.

Stripe handles the cash drawer.

Subscriptions are billed monthly in advance, in U.S. dollars, on the day of the month corresponding to the day on which you converted from trial. Fees are exclusive of any sales, use, value-added, withholding, or similar tax, which is your responsibility and which we will collect where law requires.

All charges are processed by Stripe, Inc. We do not store your full card number, CVC, or expiry; we store a Stripe customer identifier, the last four digits, and the card brand for display purposes. Adding, replacing, or removing a payment instrument is done through the dashboard's billing portal, which is a Stripe-hosted surface.

Failed charges trigger a smart-retry sequence: we will attempt the charge again at +24h, +72h, and +7d. If all retries fail, the subscription enters a 72-hour grace state during which the correspondents continue to operate but the dashboard displays a payment-required banner. After the grace state, the subscription is paused, the correspondents stop, deliverables already produced remain accessible, and the wire is preserved for 90 days.

Disputed charges. Please write to billing@workin.press before initiating a chargeback with your bank. We resolve good-faith billing disputes within five business days. Chargebacks initiated without prior contact may be contested with documentation and may, at our discretion, result in account termination under §18.

The press renews itself.

Your subscription auto-renews each month at the then-current Subscription Fee, on the same calendar day as your initial conversion, until you cancel through the dashboard. Auto-renewal is a feature, not a trick: the renewal date is displayed in the dashboard's billing portal at all times, an e-mail reminder is sent seven (7) days before each renewal, and a second reminder is sent twenty-four (24) hours before the charge.

Price changes. We may revise the Subscription Fee with at least thirty (30) days' written notice to the e-mail or phone number on your account. A revised Fee applies only to renewal periods beginning after the notice period. If you object, you may cancel before the new Fee takes effect with no further obligation.

Where local law requires affirmative consent for auto-renewal of consumer subscriptions (California ARL, Korea PIPA equivalents, EU consumer rules, etc.), we obtain that consent at the moment of conversion and re-confirm annually.

Discretionary, but generous in two cases.

The default is no refund: monthly fees are paid in advance for a service that runs continuously. We make exceptions, on request, in two cases — and we make them readily.

• Service outages. If the Service is materially unavailable for more than 24 consecutive hours within a paid month, we will, on request, credit or refund a pro-rated portion of that month's fee corresponding to the outage duration.
• Clear billing errors. Duplicate charges, charges after a confirmed cancellation, charges on a payment instrument you did not authorise — fully refunded, immediately, without negotiation.

Discretionary refunds for other circumstances (you forgot to cancel, you didn't use the Service that month, you're unhappy with a particular correspondent's output) are issued case-by-case. Write to billing@workin.press; we read every message.

Where local consumer law grants a statutory cooling-off period (e.g. EU 14-day right of withdrawal for distance contracts), that period applies in addition to anything in this section, and your statutory rights are not waived by these terms.

What the desks file belongs to you.

Subject to your payment in good standing and your compliance with these terms and the AUP, you own the Deliverables produced by the correspondents on your behalf — the documents, code, plans, financial models, contract drafts, marketing copy, screenshots, and reports they file to your workspace. You may use, modify, distribute, sell, or destroy any Deliverable as you see fit, subject only to the rights of third parties whose data you supplied as input.

We retain no rights in your Deliverables beyond what is necessary to: (a) generate them in the first place; (b) store and transmit them through our infrastructure and the infrastructure of our Processors; (c) display them to you on the dashboard; (d) include them in audit logs and security telemetry as described in the Privacy Policy; (e) reproduce a Deliverable in anonymised, aggregated form for the purpose of internal product improvement, only where the reproduction cannot reasonably be associated with you or your business.

Two important nuances about Outputs.

• Outputs may not be unique. Given similar inputs, a foundation model may produce similar outputs for different subscribers. We make no representation that any particular Output is unique to you or that another subscriber will not, by independent prompting, receive a substantially similar Output.
• Outputs may incorporate third-party material. The correspondents may, in the course of work, quote, paraphrase, or transform third-party content available to them. You are responsible for ensuring that your use of an Output complies with the rights of any third parties whose work it touches — particularly for code (license compliance), images (rights clearance), and quoted text (fair-use analysis).

The narrow grant we need.

You grant Workin a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, limited license to host, store, transmit, display, modify (only to the extent necessary for transmission and display), and create derivative works of your inputs and Outputs, solely for the purpose of operating, securing, and improving the Service for you. The license terminates on deletion of the relevant data per our retention schedule.

We do not, and we contractually require our Processors not to, use your inputs or Outputs to train, fine-tune, evaluate, or improve foundation models — neither ours nor theirs. The current Processor agreements that bind this prohibition are listed in the Privacy Policy; if a Processor changes its terms in a way inconsistent with this commitment, we will replace the Processor or notify you, your choice.

Aggregated, de-identified data — counts, latencies, token costs, error rates, broad usage patterns — may be used by us without restriction for capacity planning, billing reconciliation, internal analytics, and public reporting. De-identification is one-way: once we aggregate, we do not re-link.

Mutual, narrow, not eternal.

Confidential Information means non-public information disclosed by one party to the other in connection with the Service, marked or reasonably understood to be confidential. From your side, this includes your Founder Profile, your inputs, your Deliverables, and any commercial information you share with us in support, billing, or partnership conversations. From our side, it includes our prompts, internal documentation, security architecture, model selection, pricing for non-public tiers, and the contents of any partnership discussion.

Each party agrees: (a) to use the other's Confidential Information only as necessary to perform under these terms; (b) to protect it with at least the degree of care it uses for its own information of comparable sensitivity, and in no event less than reasonable care; (c) to limit disclosure to employees, contractors, and Processors with a need to know who are bound by equivalent confidentiality obligations.

Confidential Information does not include information that is or becomes public without breach of this section, was known prior to disclosure free of confidentiality obligation, is independently developed without reference to the disclosed information, or is received from a third party free of confidentiality obligation. Compelled disclosure (subpoena, court order, regulatory demand) is permitted, with prompt notice to the other party where lawfully possible.

The confidentiality obligation survives termination of the subscription for three (3) years for ordinary Confidential Information, and indefinitely for trade secrets and personal data.

The press relies on several wires.

Workin sends data, in the ordinary course of operation, to a small and named list of Processors. At the time of writing: Stripe (billing), Vonage (telephony for OTP and onboarding interview), Deepgram (speech-to-text), Anthropic and OpenAI (foundation models for the correspondents), Fly.io and Railway (hosting), and Cloudflare (DNS, CDN, basic edge protection). The current list, with categories of data shared, lives in the Privacy Policy.

By using the Service, you accept that your data will be processed by these Processors, on our behalf, under contracts that include confidentiality, security, and data-use restrictions consistent with this document. Where we add, remove, or replace a Processor, we update the Privacy Policy and, for material changes (a new Processor in a new category, a Processor in a new region), notify you in the wire.

Your separate use of a third-party service — for example, a deliverable that integrates with a CRM you operate, or an e-mail service through which the marketing correspondent sends — is governed by your relationship with that third party. We are not responsible for the third party's terms, uptime, or privacy practices, but we will, on reasonable request, help you understand how Workin interacts with it.

No formal SLA, a stated aim.

We do not offer a contractual service-level agreement. We do operate to a stated internal aim: 99.5% monthly uptime for the dashboard, 99.0% monthly availability for the correspondent runtime, and a median end-to-end deliverable filing latency under fifteen (15) minutes for routine work. We publish a public status page; outages are post-mortemed publicly within seven (7) days.

Planned maintenance is scheduled outside of U.S. and Korean business hours where reasonably possible and is announced in the wire at least 24 hours in advance. Emergency maintenance — for security or data integrity — may occur without notice.

The correspondents themselves are probabilistic. A given desk may, on a given day, be slower, less accurate, or temporarily unavailable due to upstream model-provider degradation. Where an upstream incident materially affects the Service for more than four (4) hours, we will note it on the status page and credit the affected fraction of that month's fee on request, per §10.

Quiet pause, loud removal.

We may suspend your account, a particular correspondent, or a particular type of work, immediately and without prior notice, where we reasonably determine that: (a) continued operation poses a risk to the Service, to our other subscribers, or to the public; (b) you have materially breached these terms or the AUP; (c) we are required by law, by court order, or by a Processor to do so; (d) your payment is more than seven (7) days overdue and grace per §08 has expired; (e) a security incident affecting your account is under active investigation.

Suspension is a pause, not a termination. The wire and your Deliverables remain accessible (read-only) during suspension. We will, after the fact and as soon as is consistent with safety and law, give you a written explanation, an opportunity to respond, and — where the cause is curable — a reasonable cure period.

You may request that we suspend your own account for a period (vacation hold, wedding hold, founder-burnout hold) by writing to billing@workin.press. Voluntary suspensions pause billing pro-rata.

One click, any reason.

You may cancel your subscription at any time, for any reason or no reason, from the billing portal in the dashboard. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current paid period; the correspondents continue working until then, and no further charges are made. The cancellation flow does not require you to speak to a human, justify your decision, or click through retention offers — though we may, once and politely, ask why.

You may delete your account separately and immediately from the dashboard's account settings. Deletion is more aggressive than cancellation: it terminates the subscription, stops the correspondents, and queues your data for removal under the Privacy Policy's retention schedule. Deletion is irreversible after a 14-day soft-hold; during the soft-hold a request to hello@workin.press will restore the account.

For cause, or for convenience.

We may terminate your subscription, with notice, for cause: (a) material breach of these terms or the AUP, uncured 14 days after written notice where the breach is curable; (b) immediate, where the breach is incurable or where continued operation poses a serious risk; (c) repeated chargebacks, fraudulent payment activity, or sustained non-payment beyond the §08 grace period; (d) a regulatory or legal requirement that we cease providing the Service to you; (e) a finding by a competent authority that you are listed on a sanctions or restricted-party list per §04.

We may also terminate your subscription for convenience, with at least thirty (30) days' written notice, where we cease offering the Service generally, exit a market, or restructure the product in a way that no longer accommodates your account. On a convenience termination, we refund any prepaid Subscription Fee for periods after the effective date, on a pro-rata basis.

What stops, what survives.

On termination, however effected: (a) the correspondents stop reporting; (b) your access to the dashboard is revoked, except for a 30-day export window during which you may download an archive of your Deliverables, your Founder Profile, and the wire; (c) we delete your data per the Privacy Policy retention schedule; (d) any unpaid Subscription Fee for the period in which termination occurred remains due, except on convenience-termination by us; (e) any prepaid Subscription Fee for periods entirely after termination is refunded, except where termination is for cause attributable to you.

Sections that by their nature should survive termination — defined terms (§01), confidentiality (§13), output ownership (§11) for Deliverables already filed, your license to us (§12) for so long as we hold any data, disclaimers (§20), liability (§21), indemnification (§22), disputes (§23–24), and the general clauses (§25–28) — survive.

The correspondents are fallible.

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available." Without limiting the foregoing, and to the maximum extent permitted by law:

• We make no representation or warranty that any Output is accurate, complete, current, fit for any particular purpose, non-infringing, or free of bias;
• We make no representation or warranty that the Service will be uninterrupted, secure, error-free, free of harmful components, or available in any particular jurisdiction;
• We make no representation or warranty as to the conduct of any third party or the contents of any third-party service to which the correspondents may connect;
• We disclaim all implied warranties, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, and any warranty arising from course of dealing or usage of trade.

The correspondents make decisions probabilistically; they hallucinate; they mis-cite; they occasionally do confidently wrong things; they may be susceptible to prompt injection from content they read on your behalf. You are the editor-in-chief. Review their work before publishing it, signing it, sending it to your accountant, your attorney, your investors, the SEC, the IRS, the NTS, or anyone else whose opinion of you matters.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the disclaimer of certain warranties; in those jurisdictions, the disclaimer applies to the maximum extent permitted, and your non-waivable statutory rights are not affected.

Capped at twelve months.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, our aggregate liability arising out of or relating to the Service, these terms, the AUP, or the Privacy Policy — whether in contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability, statute, or any other theory — is capped at the greater of (a) the Subscription Fees you actually paid us in the twelve (12) months preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) one hundred U.S. dollars (US$100).

To the maximum extent permitted by law, neither party is liable to the other for: (i) indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary, punitive, or treble damages; (ii) lost profits, lost revenue, lost opportunity, lost goodwill, or lost data; (iii) the cost of substitute goods or services; (iv) damages arising from a third party's act or omission; (v) damages arising from your failure to review a Deliverable before relying on it.

The cap and the exclusions above do not apply to: (1) your obligation to pay Subscription Fees actually due; (2) either party's indemnification obligations under §22; (3) liability arising from death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, or wilful misconduct; (4) any liability that cannot be limited by law.

Mutual, narrow, conditional.

By you. You will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Workin, its affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, employees, and contractors from and against any third-party claim, demand, suit, or proceeding, and any resulting losses, damages, liabilities, costs, and reasonable attorneys' fees, arising out of or relating to: (a) your inputs to the Service; (b) your use of any Deliverable or Output; (c) your breach of these terms or the AUP; (d) your breach of any third party's right (including IP, privacy, publicity, contract); (e) any business activity you operate using the Service.

By us. We will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless you from and against any third-party claim alleging that the Service, as provided by us and used by you in compliance with these terms, infringes a U.S. patent, registered copyright, or trademark held by the claimant, and any resulting losses, damages, liabilities, costs, and reasonable attorneys' fees finally awarded by a court of competent jurisdiction or paid in settlement approved by us.

Process. The indemnified party will: (i) promptly notify the indemnifying party of the claim; (ii) give the indemnifying party sole control of the defence and settlement (provided no settlement admits fault by, or imposes obligation on, the indemnified party without consent); (iii) reasonably cooperate at the indemnifying party's expense.

Informal first, then JAMS.

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. The U.N. Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.

Step one: informal resolution. Before initiating any formal proceeding, the complaining party will send a written notice describing the dispute and the relief sought to legal@workin.press (if from you) or to the e-mail on your account (if from us). The parties will negotiate in good faith for at least thirty (30) days.

Step two: arbitration. Any dispute not resolved within the informal-resolution period will be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by JAMS under its Streamlined Arbitration Rules then in effect. The seat of arbitration is San Francisco, California; the language is English; the arbitrator is a single neutral with at least ten (10) years' experience in technology contracts. The arbitrator may award any relief a court could, except that the arbitrator may not award class-wide or representative relief — see §24.

Carve-outs. Either party may bring an action for injunctive relief in court to protect intellectual property, trade secrets, or confidential information, and either party may bring small claims (under US$10,000) in the appropriate small-claims court of San Francisco County.

Individual claims, not classes.

Disputes between you and Workin will be resolved on an individual basis only. Neither party may bring a claim as a plaintiff or class member in a class, collective, consolidated, mass, or representative action, and the arbitrator may not consolidate the claims of more than one person without the written consent of all affected parties. If a court of competent jurisdiction finds this waiver unenforceable, the unenforceable portion will be severed and the remainder of the dispute will be arbitrated under §23.

This waiver does not preclude either party from participating in a class settlement of claims that have been class-certified by a court despite the waiver, and does not waive any non-waivable representative-action rights under applicable law (e.g. the California PAGA).

Acts of God, and of providers.

Neither party is liable for delay or failure in performance (other than payment) caused by an event beyond its reasonable control, including: act of God, natural disaster, pandemic, war, civil unrest, terrorism, labour action, government order, embargo, sanction, internet outage, undersea-cable cut, prolonged outage of a Processor, or material adverse action by a foundation-model provider. The affected party will use reasonable efforts to mitigate and will notify the other within a reasonable period. If the event continues for more than thirty (30) consecutive days, either party may terminate the affected obligations on written notice.

Yours, no; ours, yes.

You may not assign or transfer these terms or your account, by operation of law or otherwise, without our prior written consent. We may assign these terms, in whole or in part, to: (a) an affiliate; (b) a successor in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of substantially all assets; (c) a financing or restructuring transaction. We will notify you of an assignment that materially affects your rights, and your sole remedy on objection is to terminate the subscription per §17 and receive a pro-rata refund.

To you, by phone or e-mail; to us, in writing.

Notices to you may be given by e-mail to the address on your account, by SMS to the verified phone number, by an in-product banner in the dashboard, or by a prominently-flagged entry in the wire. Notices are deemed received on transmission.

Notices to us must be sent by e-mail to legal@workin.press, with a copy to hello@workin.press, and are deemed received on the next business day. Postal notices, if any, should be sent to: Self-Driving Companies, Inc., Attn: Legal, San Francisco, California, U.S.A. (full street address available on request).

The standard boilerplate.

• Entire agreement. These terms, together with the AUP and the Privacy Policy, are the entire agreement between you and Workin regarding the Service, and supersede any prior or contemporaneous understandings.
• Severability. If any provision is held unenforceable, it will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, or, if not modifiable, severed; the remainder of the terms remains in effect.
• No waiver. A failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of that or any other provision.
• No third-party beneficiaries, except that our affiliates and their personnel are intended third-party beneficiaries of §13, §20, §21, and §22.
• Headings are for convenience only and do not affect interpretation.
• Construction. "Including" means "including without limitation"; "or" is non-exclusive; the singular includes the plural; references to a statute include its successor and implementing regulations.
• U.S. Government users. The Service is "commercial computer software" and "commercial computer software documentation" under FAR 12.212 and DFARS 227.7202, licensed to U.S. Government end users only as commercial items and only with the rights granted to all other end users.
• Export. The Service is subject to U.S. export-control laws; you may not export, re-export, or transfer the Service to a country or person prohibited by those laws.

We will tell you, by phone and e-mail.

We may revise these terms from time to time. Material changes — anything affecting price, scope of license, liability, dispute resolution, or the categorical refusals — will be communicated to the e-mail and phone on your account at least thirty (30) days before they take effect, with a redline accessible at workin.press/terms-of-service/changes. Non-material changes (clarifications, formatting, adding a Processor in an existing category) take effect on posting, and the prior version is preserved at the same archive URL.

Continued use of the Service after the effective date of a revision constitutes acceptance of the revised terms. If you do not accept a revision, you may cancel under §17 with no further obligation, and we will refund any unused prepaid Subscription Fee on a pro-rata basis.

What changed, and when.

• v1.0 — Spring 2026. Initial publication. Trial period, the seven correspondents, Stripe billing, JAMS arbitration, California governing law, US$100 / 12-month liability cap.

Future revisions will be appended here with a one-line summary and a link to the redline.
