Terms & Conditions

These terms are an agreement between you and Riess Enterprise, trading as The Attention Cartel ("we", "us"). They govern your use of our thumbnail and title workshop, including the guest questionnaire, the AI analysis, the title pressure test and the downloadable 45-minute interview run-sheet (the "Service"). By creating an account, subscribing or continuing to use the Service you agree to these terms.

Who can agree

You must be of legal age in your jurisdiction. If you use the Service on behalf of a company or team, you confirm you have authority to bind that organisation to these terms.

What the Service is

We give you a subscription workspace where you send interview guests a questionnaire, receive their answers, and get back an AI-generated revelation summary, thumbnail brief, candidate titles and an interview run-sheet. Outputs are creative suggestions produced by automated systems. They may be inaccurate, unoriginal or unsuited to your audience — you are responsible for reviewing them, verifying factual claims about your guest, and deciding what you publish.

Your account

Provide accurate information and keep it current. Keep your login credentials confidential; you are responsible for activity under your account.

Acceptable use

You must not:

• use the Service unlawfully, or to defame, harass or deceive anyone;
• commit fraud, send spam, or submit questionnaires to people without their consent;
• infringe anyone's intellectual property, likeness or privacy rights;
• upload malware, probe, scan, scrape or otherwise interfere with the security of the Service;
• generate illegal content, hate speech, sexual content involving minors, deepfakes or impersonations;
• attempt to jailbreak, reverse engineer, resell, redistribute or circumvent technical limits of the Service.

You are responsible for the questionnaire content, prompts and materials you submit, and confirm you have the rights to submit them. We may remove content, filter or refuse outputs, and suspend accounts to enforce these rules. If you believe content produced or hosted through the Service infringes your rights, email us at legal@theattentioncartel.com with details and we will investigate and act, including terminating repeat infringers.

No professional advice

The Service is an editorial and marketing tool. Nothing it produces is legal, financial, medical or other professional advice, and it should not be relied on without your own judgement and review.

Licence and intellectual property

We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use the Service during your paid subscription. Riess Enterprise retains all ownership of the Service, its software, prompts, methodology, documentation and branding. You keep ownership of the content you submit, and grant us a limited licence to host and process it solely to provide the Service. Subject to third-party rights, you may use the titles, briefs and run-sheets we generate for you in your own productions.

Payment, subscription and billing

Our order process is conducted by our online reseller Paddle.com. Paddle.com is the Merchant of Record for all our orders. Paddle provides all customer service inquiries and handles returns.

Subscriptions renew automatically on the cadence you chose (monthly or annual) until cancelled. Payment, billing frequency, taxes, invoicing, cancellation and refund mechanics are governed by Paddle's Buyer Terms. Our own refund commitment is set out in our Refund Policy.

Service level

We work to keep the Service available, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free performance. Maintenance, third-party AI providers and factors outside our control can cause downtime or degraded output.

Suspension and termination

We may suspend or terminate your access for material breach of these terms, non-payment, security or fraud risk, or repeated or serious policy violations. You may cancel at any time; access continues until the end of your paid period. After termination you may export your guest responses and run-sheets for 30 days, after which we may delete them.

Warranties and liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law we disclaim all implied warranties, including merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose. We are not liable for indirect, consequential or special damages, including lost profits, lost data, lost views or goodwill. Our aggregate liability is capped at the fees you paid in the 12 months before the claim. Nothing here excludes liability for fraud, death or personal injury where that exclusion is not permitted by law.

Indemnity

You indemnify Riess Enterprise against claims arising from the content you submit, your unlawful use of the Service or your breach of these terms.

General

You may not assign these terms without our consent; we may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition or sale of assets. Neither party is liable for delays caused by events beyond reasonable control. These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Illinois, USA, and disputes will be heard in the courts of that jurisdiction. We may update these terms; material changes will be announced in the app or by email.
