By accessing or using authoritytech.io, app subdomains, dashboards, communication portals, or any related tools (collectively, the “Platform”), you agree to these Terms & Conditions (“Terms”). If you do not agree, do not use the Platform.

The SOW supersedes these Terms in the event of conflict.
No paid service begins without an executed SOW.

Communicate promptly to keep services on schedule

We may restrict access for violations of these Terms or your SOW.

All payments are processed securely through Stripe or other authorized payment partners. By submitting payment information, you authorize AuthorityTech to charge for:

Campaign fees
PR retainers
SOW-defined deliverables
Add-ons and approved services
Platform or subscription fees (if applicable)

All payments are final and non-refundable, except where expressly stated in writing within your SOW.

Additional conditions:

Late or failed payments may pause services and deliverables
You remain responsible for all fees defined in your SOW
Chargebacks are strictly prohibited and treated as a breach of contract
You acknowledge that all payments made through AuthorityTech are for professional services and not for consumer goods, and therefore are not eligible for credit card “product not received” or similar consumer protections.

If a chargeback is initiated, AuthorityTech reserves the right to:

Suspend all services
Pursue recovery of owed amounts
Provide the SOW and payment logs to the processor as evidence
Recover fees associated with the dispute

7. Confidentiality & Data Use

Your signed SOW
Our Privacy Policy

You consent to the use of your data for:

Account administration
Campaign execution
Analytics
Fraud prevention
Internal service optimization

We do not sell your data.

8. Intellectual Property

AuthorityTech owns or licenses all Platform content, tools, software, text, design assets, and architecture. You may not copy, redistribute, scrape, resell, or create derivative works without written permission.

Content created for campaigns is governed by the SOW.

9. Third-Party Links & Integrations

The Platform may integrate with vendors, publishers, media partners, or third-party tools. AuthorityTech is not responsible for:

Third-party terms
Third-party actions
Content outside our control

Use those services at your discretion.

10. Disclaimers

The Platform and all services are provided “as is” and “as available.” No warranties—express or implied—are provided, including:

Merchantability
Fitness for a particular purpose
Expected campaign results or outcomes

11. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, AuthorityTech, its officers, and partners are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages. Total liability is limited to the amount you paid in the preceding 12 months.

12. Indemnification

Materials or data you submit
Violations of law or third-party rights

13. Termination

We may suspend or terminate Platform access or services if:

You violate these Terms or your SOW
Payments fail
You engage in abusive, fraudulent, or harmful behavior

Termination does not void outstanding invoices or obligations defined in the SOW.

14. Updates to the Terms

We may modify or update these Terms at any time. Material changes will be posted with an updated “Last Updated” date. Continued use of the Platform constitutes acceptance.

15. Governing Law & Venue

These Terms and your SOW are governed by the laws of the State of Texas. All disputes will be resolved exclusively in state or federal courts located in Dallas County, Texas.

16. Payment Authorization & Chargeback Waiver

By submitting payment on the Platform, you authorize AuthorityTech LLC to charge the payment method provided for all fees outlined in your SOW or agreed services. You acknowledge and agree that:

All payments are final and non-refundable, unless explicitly stated in your SOW.
Chargebacks, payment disputes, or reversals filed with a bank or card issuer are considered a breach of contract.
If a chargeback is initiated, AuthorityTech may immediately suspend services and pursue recovery of all owed amounts, including additional fees incurred during the dispute process.
You agree to resolve any billing or service concerns directly with AuthorityTech before disputing a charge with a payment provider.
You consent to electronic records, logs, communications, and SOW terms being used as evidence in any dispute.

This clause survives termination of your account or services. You agree that initiating a chargeback without first submitting a written billing concern to AuthorityTech constitutes fraud and a breach of these Terms.

17. Versioning

These Terms & Conditions are versioned for audit and compliance purposes. Your continued use of the Platform serves as acceptance of this version and any future updates.
