1.Agreement and scope
These Terms of Service (the “Terms”) are a legal agreement between you and Tagma Debate LLC, a Wyoming limited liability company (“Tagma,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). They govern your access to and use of Tagma’s websites, applications, software, APIs, research tools, document tools, storage, workspaces, notebooks, integrations, and related services (collectively, the “Service”).
The Service may allow you to research topics, retrieve and organize public-source material, create claims and cards, upload or process documents and PDFs, run searches and jobs, generate or transform text, maintain notebooks and workspaces, collaborate with other people, publish share links, and connect external assistants through MCP or another integration. Specific features may not be available in every plan, country, or context.
By selecting “I agree,” creating an account, purchasing or activating a plan, joining an organization, or using a part of the Service that presents these Terms, you agree to them. If you do not agree, do not use the Service. If you use the Service for another person or entity, you represent that you have authority to accept these Terms for that person or entity.
The Privacy Policy describes how Tagma handles personal information. The acceptable-use and copyright rules in these Terms apply to all use. A School Services Agreement and Data Processing Addendum (“DPA”) apply when a school, team, or other organization purchases the Service and those documents govern the relevant institutional relationship.
2.Definitions
“Account” means a Tagma account registered to an individual or provisioned through an organization. “Content” means Input and Output together. “Input” means text, prompts, claims, sources, URLs, files, PDFs, images, instructions, notes, or other material submitted to the Service. “Output” means cards, claims, excerpts, summaries, classifications, research results, citations, text, files, notebook material, or other material returned or generated by the Service.
“Personal context” means your personal account, personal root files, personal workspaces, personal notebooks, and personal plan or usage allocation. “School context” means a school or team organization, its school workspaces, organization-controlled Content, seats, settings, and usage allocation. “Workspace” means a personal or school space in which authorized users may store, organize, process, or share Content.
“School Owner” means the head coach or other authorized representative who accepts an institutional agreement for a school or team. “Assistant Coach” means a delegated organization administrator. “Student” means an authorized school user who is not an organization billing or legal administrator. “Public Link” means a link that permits a person who possesses an unexpired, non-revoked link credential to access shared material without signing in. “MCP Connection” means an authorized connection between an external assistant or client and the Service through the Model Context Protocol or another supported assistant protocol.
3.Eligibility and authority
The Service is for people age 13 and older. We do not permit anyone under 13 to create or use an Account, join an organization, or use persistent Service features.
Users ages 13 through 17 must complete Tagma’s parent or legal guardian authorization process before persistent Account activity is enabled. Parent or guardian authorization permits the user’s Account; it does not make the parent the Account owner, authorize a school to access Personal context, or replace school authorization for School context.
A School Owner must separately authorize a Student’s membership in a School Organization. A school’s authorization does not replace parent or guardian authorization in Tagma’s initial model and does not authorize unrelated Personal use.
If we learn that a user is under 13, that a required authorization is invalid or revoked, or that eligibility information is materially inaccurate, we may stop processing, suspend the Account, and delete or restrict information as required by law and the Privacy Policy.
You must be legally able to enter into this agreement, or have a parent, guardian, or authorized organization representative accept it as required by law. You may not use the Service if doing so is prohibited by applicable law, export-control or sanctions rules, or a restriction communicated to you by Tagma.
4.Anonymous trials
Tagma may offer a limited anonymous trial. An anonymous trial is not an Account and does not provide saved history, Personal or School workspaces, uploads, MCP, Public Links, or persistent jobs unless the interface expressly says otherwise. Trial availability, limits, and eligibility may change. Do not submit confidential or sensitive material to an anonymous trial.
The anonymous trial is not intended for anyone under 13. If a person tells us they are under 13 or we otherwise obtain actual knowledge that we have collected information from an under-13 child, we will take the steps required by applicable law, which may include stopping processing and deleting information under our control.
5.Account registration and security
You must provide accurate, current information and keep it current. You may not impersonate a person or organization, create an Account for another person without authority, share credentials, or maintain an Account after Tagma requires it to be closed.
You are responsible for protecting passwords, recovery methods, authentication devices, API credentials, and connected integrations, and for activity under your Account except to the extent caused by Tagma’s breach of this agreement or applicable law. Notify Tagma promptly at security@tagmadebate.com if you believe an Account, credential, Public Link, or MCP Connection has been compromised.
You may be required to reauthenticate or provide additional confirmation for account deletion, ownership transfer, public sharing, export, MCP authorization, payment changes, or other sensitive actions.
6.The Service and changes
Subject to these Terms, Tagma grants you a limited, personal, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to access and use the Service for its intended purpose. Tagma may add, modify, limit, suspend, or remove features, including limits, models, providers, source types, integrations, storage, credits, and supported formats. If we make a material change that materially reduces a paid feature during a prepaid term, we will provide the remedy required by the applicable order, Plan Terms, or law.
The Service may include experimental, preview, beta, or early-access features. Those features may be less reliable, may change without notice, may have separate terms, and may be discontinued. Do not use an experimental feature for an activity where failure could cause material harm.
7.Research and assisted analysis
The Service is a research and productivity tool. It may retrieve public web material, process user-provided files, identify claims, generate cards, summarize or transform material, and provide citations or links. It is not a lawyer, teacher, school administrator, fact checker, publisher, financial adviser, medical provider, or substitute for independent judgment.
Public websites may change, block access, require authentication, contain inaccurate information, or impose their own terms. Tagma does not guarantee that a source is current, complete, lawful to copy, suitable for a particular use, or available at a particular time. You are responsible for reviewing sources, citations, claims, quotations, permissions, and Output before relying on or distributing them.
You must not treat Output as verified fact or as a guarantee of debate, academic, legal, financial, medical, safety, or other results. You remain responsible for decisions made using the Service.
8.Plans, trials, credits, and billing
Features, quotas, storage, seats, credit allocations, rate limits, overages, and renewal periods are described at purchase or in the applicable order form (the “Plan Terms”). Individual and organization Plans may have different limits. Server-side entitlement records control access; information displayed by a browser or client does not change your entitlement.
Current individual Plan names, monthly prices, and included features are listed on the Tagma pricing page. Prices are stated in US dollars and billed monthly unless the checkout says otherwise. Team and school Plans are quoted separately in an order form. If a Plan Term conflicts with these Terms, the Plan Term controls only for the relevant commercial detail.
Trials, promotional credits, and free access may have eligibility rules, expiration dates, limits, and no cash value. Tagma may withdraw or limit a trial to prevent abuse. Unless a checkout page says otherwise, a trial does not automatically convert into a paid subscription without your affirmative purchase or other legally required authorization.
If you purchase a recurring Plan, you authorize Tagma or its payment provider to charge the selected payment method for the initial period and each renewal until cancellation. Before completing a purchase, the checkout will state the price, billing interval, renewal behavior, and cancellation method. You are responsible for applicable taxes and for keeping billing information current.
Unless required by law or stated in the checkout or order form, fees are non-refundable after the applicable billing period begins. If you believe you were charged in error, contact support@tagmadebate.com within 30 days of the charge and we will review it. You may cancel at any time from your account settings; cancellation takes effect at the end of the current paid period, you keep paid features until then, and you remain responsible for amounts incurred before cancellation. Upgrades take effect immediately and may be prorated; downgrades take effect at the start of the next billing period. Tagma may suspend paid features for failed or overdue payment after reasonable notice where practicable.
Credits, quotas, and usage limits are not money, property, or a guarantee that a particular request will complete. A request may consume usage when submitted, during processing, or on completion as described in the product. Tagma may apply reasonable cost, abuse, request-size, concurrency, or rate limits.
9.Personal and School contexts
One login may contain separate Personal and School contexts. Personal Content remains separate from School Content. A school administrator does not receive access to Personal context merely because you belong to a School Organization. School Workspace Content is controlled by the School Organization according to the School Services Agreement, DPA, organization settings, and applicable law.
The selected compute context determines which Plan, quota, cost center, and organization are attributed to a research request. A result is initially a temporary job result, not automatically a Personal or School file. The save destination determines ownership, access, and retention.
A Personal result may be saved to a Personal Workspace. A School result may be saved to an authorized School Workspace. A Personal result may be saved directly to a School Workspace through an explicit destination choice; the saved copy becomes School Content and may remain with the school if the user leaves. A School result may be copied to Personal context only if the school permits it and the user takes an explicit Copy to Personal action. A cross-context copy creates a separate artifact; it does not silently change or transfer the original artifact.
10.Files, storage, and workspaces
The Service may let you upload, save, download, preview, extract, organize, revise, annotate, version, search, process, and export files, PDFs, documents, images, notebooks, and other stored material. Some features may create extracted text, previews, revisions, annotations, metadata, or temporary processing objects to provide the requested function.
Storage availability depends on your Plan, Workspace, file type, file size, request size, rate limits, quota, and supported formats. Tagma may reject unsupported formats, limit file size or volume, pause processing, prevent new uploads, or require an upgrade when a limit is reached. Tagma will not charge an overage unless the applicable checkout or order form clearly authorizes it.
Storage is provided on an “as available” basis. Tagma does not guarantee permanent availability, uninterrupted access, zero data loss, or that every revision, preview, extraction, or export will remain available. You should maintain independent copies of important files and should not treat Tagma as your only backup or system of record.
Personal files and Personal Workspaces are controlled by the individual account holder. Files saved into a School Workspace are School Content controlled by the school or team. Workspace members and administrators may access content intentionally placed in a shared Workspace according to the Workspace’s permissions. Removing a member does not transfer School Content into that member’s Personal context.
Tagma does not use one user’s private files, extracted content, or generated results to provide content to another account, except when content is intentionally shared or copied through a Workspace, Public Link, export, or authorized integration. A URL, hash, or file identifier does not by itself grant access. A separately authorized user may access a file only through the applicable Account, Workspace, Public Link, export, or integration permission.
Public Links are bearer access credentials. Anyone who obtains a valid link may access the permitted material without an Account and may copy, download, export, save, forward, or redistribute what they receive. Revocation and expiration prevent future access through that link but cannot recall copies already obtained.
When eligible files, revisions, imports, or other stored objects are deleted, Tagma’s active-storage deletion process purges the known object versions and delete markers. Provider-managed backups, security logs, legal holds, billing or abuse records, and vendor-held processing copies may persist for their applicable retention periods, as described in the Privacy Policy and any institutional agreement.
You are responsible for having the rights, permissions, consents, and lawful basis required to upload, store, process, download, export, and share your material. Tagma may use storage, backup, parsing, indexing, retrieval, and infrastructure providers to provide the requested features.
Tagma may suspend or limit storage, uploads, downloads, processing, sharing, or access for abuse, unlawful content, nonpayment, security issues, excessive traffic or cost, quota violations, unsupported use, or material breach. Where practicable, Tagma will provide notice and an opportunity to cure.
11.Your Content
As between you and Tagma, you retain the rights you have in your Input. For Personal context, you control Personal Content subject to these Terms and the rights of others. For School context, the School Organization controls School Workspace Content under the institutional agreement; a Student’s use of a School Workspace does not make the Student the organization’s legal owner of that workspace.
You represent and warrant that you have all rights, permissions, consents, and lawful bases necessary to submit Input, request its processing, permit its sharing, and authorize Tagma to process it. You must not submit confidential, personal, copyrighted, or regulated material unless you are authorized to do so.
You grant Tagma and its service providers a worldwide, non-exclusive, limited license to host, store, reproduce, back up, transmit, display, format, index, parse, transform, analyze, and otherwise process Input and saved Content as necessary to provide, secure, maintain, support, and improve the Service, fulfill your requests, enforce these Terms, prevent abuse, and comply with law. This license is limited to those purposes and does not transfer ownership of your Content to Tagma.
The license includes permission to process Content in the context selected by you, to provide it to authorized providers and integrations, and to make it available to people you authorize through a Workspace, Public Link, export, or MCP Connection. The license ends for active systems when the relevant Content is deleted, subject to backups, security records, legal holds, provider retention, copies made by recipients, and other exceptions described in the Privacy Policy and applicable agreement.
12.Generated Outputs and similarity
To the extent permitted by law and subject to third-party rights, Tagma does not claim ownership of Output. You may use, edit, save, export, and share Output produced for you, subject to these Terms and any rights in source material or Third-Party Output.
Output may not be unique or exclusively protectable. For example, two users asking for cards about the same public article may receive overlapping or similar cards. That does not mean that another user can access your private notebook, that Tagma owns your Output, that you cannot use, edit, save, export, or share it, or that a coach cannot use it for paid student work. Similarity does not grant another user access to your private Content.
Output may contain errors, omissions, invented citations, material from public or third-party sources, or content that is subject to another person’s rights. You are responsible for review, attribution, permissions, and downstream use.
13.Commercial use and competing products
Paid coaches, tutors, consultants, schools, and teams may use the Service to prepare materials for students or clients who engage them, and may use Output internally in their own work.
Without Tagma’s written authorization, you may not use automated access or Output to build, train, benchmark, or improve a competing product, model, card library, or research service; sell, license, white-label, or bulk-resell Tagma Output as a competing standalone debate-research product or card library; bulk-generate commercial briefs or cards for resale; or use the Service to reproduce content you lack rights to use.
14.Public Links and collaboration
You may be able to create a Public Link for a file, document, notebook, or other permitted material. A Public Link is a bearer credential: anyone who obtains a valid link may access the shared material without an Account, subject to its state, expiration, and permissions. Recipients may view, download, export, copy, save, forward, or redistribute material they receive. Revoking or expiring a link prevents future access through that link but cannot recall copies already obtained.
Links may be live, meaning they reflect later edits, or frozen, meaning they display a snapshot captured at creation. The creation screen should identify the mode, destination, expiration, and applicable warning. View-only is the default unless the interface expressly grants another permission.
For Personal Content, the individual owner may create and revoke permitted links. For School Content, the School Owner may create and revoke any link. A member cannot create or revoke School links by default. If the School Owner delegates “Can create public links,” a member may revoke links that member personally created, but not links created by the owner or another member unless the owner grants broader authority. Workspace members may see link status and access information without receiving creation or revocation authority.
Tagma may use opaque link credentials, referrer protections, and access controls to reduce accidental disclosure. Those measures do not make a Public Link identity-verified and do not prevent recipients from copying shared material.
15.MCP and external assistants
You may authorize an external assistant or client to access the Service through MCP. The consent screen identifies the client, selected Workspace or Personal scope, and requested capabilities. Depending on the scopes granted, an authorized assistant may read content, run research jobs, upload files, create or modify notebooks, or save permitted Output.
Root or “Confirm All” access, if offered, may include personal root files, current Personal Workspaces, shared Personal Workspaces, and future Personal Workspaces. It does not automatically include School Workspaces; School scope requires a separate authorization by the relevant user or School Owner.
`workspace:read` does not permit writing. `research:run` does not by itself permit saving. `files:upload` and `workspace:write` are separate capabilities. An account-level auto-save preference controls convenience only and never grants or overrides a connection’s write scope.
You may disconnect a connection, revoke one or more tokens, revoke all connections, revoke all tokens for a client, clear pending authorizations, or delete a registered client where the Service provides those controls. Revocation prevents future authorization and future requests; an already-delivered result or a copy held by the external assistant may remain with that assistant under its terms.
16.Third-party services and public sources
The Service may display or link to third-party websites, sources, models, applications, APIs, assistants, storage locations, or other services (“Third-Party Services”). Tagma does not control Third-Party Services and is not responsible for their availability, security, accuracy, terms, privacy practices, retention, or content. Your use of a Third-Party Service is governed by that provider’s terms and privacy notice.
When you direct Tagma to retrieve or process a public URL, you represent that the request is lawful and that you have authority to request any non-public material. Do not submit credentials, private URLs, or restricted content to a retrieval feature unless Tagma expressly supports that use and you are authorized to do so.
17.Acceptable use
- Use the Service unlawfully, fraudulently, deceptively, or to violate another person’s rights.
- Upload or process material without the required rights, consent, or authorization.
- Exploit, harm, threaten, harass, stalk, defame, discriminate against, or impersonate another person.
- Create, publish, or distribute content that is illegal or intended to facilitate harm.
- Use the Service to make high-stakes decisions about a person without appropriate human review and legal authorization.
- Bypass a Plan, rate limit, access control, paywall, source restriction, safety control, authentication mechanism, or Public Link expiration.
- Probe, scan, disrupt, overload, reverse engineer, decompile, extract, scrape, or interfere with the Service or its infrastructure, except where applicable law prohibits the restriction.
- Use another person’s credentials, expose credentials, or treat a hash, URL, token, or identifier as an access credential unless Tagma expressly provides it for that purpose.
- Submit malware or malicious code, or use the Service in a way that causes Tagma to breach a law, provider contract, or security obligation.
18.Intellectual property and feedback
The Service, software, interfaces, designs, names, logos, documentation, models, systems, workflows, and Tagma-created material are owned by Tagma or its licensors and are protected by intellectual-property and other laws. Except for the limited right to use the Service under these Terms, Tagma grants no right or license to its intellectual property.
“Tagma,” the Tagma name, logos, and related marks are not licensed for use without prior written permission. You may not remove proprietary notices or present Tagma as endorsing your product, organization, or Output.
If you send feedback, ideas, bug reports, or suggestions, you grant Tagma a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free right to use and incorporate them without payment or attribution, provided Tagma does not use your private Content as feedback merely because it was processed by the Service.
19.Copyright complaints
Tagma respects intellectual-property rights and may remove or restrict allegedly infringing material, suspend access, or terminate repeat infringers as permitted by law. Notices should be sent to legal@tagmadebate.com or Copyright Agent, Tagma Debate LLC, 75 E 3rd St, Ste 7, Sheridan, WY 82801 and should identify the protected work, the allegedly infringing material and its location, your contact information, your good-faith statement, your accuracy and authority statement, and your physical or electronic signature.
20.Suspension, termination, and account deletion
You may stop using the Service at any time and may request deletion through the account settings or support@tagmadebate.com. Account deletion requires recent authentication, typed confirmation, and any required resolution of ownership of shared Workspaces.
Tagma may suspend or limit access if reasonably necessary to prevent harm, protect the Service or another person, investigate abuse or security issues, comply with law, address nonpayment, or enforce these Terms. Where practicable, Tagma will provide notice and an opportunity to cure. We may act without prior notice when delay would create risk or is legally required.
If you own a shared Workspace, you must transfer ownership to an eligible member or choose the deletion of that Workspace before deleting the Account. Deleting a School Organization or Workspace may delete organization-owned Content and may remove access for other members; the confirmation flow will state this before completion.
When an Account is deleted, Tagma will delete active Personal account records and active storage under its control through the approved deletion process, including eligible files, revisions, jobs, annotations, links, tokens, MCP registrations, preferences, and Personal Content. Tagma will permanently purge all known object versions and delete markers for eligible active-storage objects. School Content remains School Content and may remain available to the School Organization after a Student’s Account or membership ends. Provider backups, security logs, vendor-held processing copies, legal holds, billing records, abuse-prevention records, and security records may persist for their disclosed or legally required retention periods.
Deletion does not recall material already downloaded, exported, copied, published, or retained by another Workspace member, Public Link recipient, connected assistant, provider, or third party.
21.Disclaimers
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE SERVICE AND ALL OUTPUT ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” TAGMA AND ITS LICENSORS DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, AVAILABILITY, SECURITY, QUIET ENJOYMENT, AND THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, COMPLETE, OR FREE OF HARMFUL CODE.
Tagma does not warrant that Output is accurate, original, legally usable, current, complete, or suitable for your purpose; that a source, citation, website, or provider will remain available; that a Public Link will remain confidential; or that a research request will produce a particular result. You are responsible for independent review and for your use of Content and Output.
Nothing in these Terms excludes a warranty or right that cannot legally be excluded. If mandatory law gives you rights that conflict with this section, those rights control.
22.Indemnification
To the extent permitted by law, you will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Tagma, its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, contractors, and licensors from claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs, and reasonable attorneys’ fees arising from: (a) your Content; (b) your use or misuse of the Service or Output; (c) your violation of these Terms or law; (d) your violation of another person’s rights; (e) a Public Link, MCP Connection, or integration you authorize; or (f) use of the Service by an organization or person for whom you accepted these Terms.
Tagma will give you reasonable notice of an indemnified claim, allow you to control the defense and settlement, and reasonably cooperate at your expense. You may not settle a claim in a way that admits Tagma’s fault or imposes an obligation on Tagma without Tagma’s written consent.
23.Limitation of liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, TAGMA AND ITS AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, LICENSORS, AND PROVIDERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, GOODWILL, BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY, USE, OR DATA, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, TAGMA’S TOTAL LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE OR THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID TO TAGMA FOR THE SERVICE DURING THE TWELVE MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM OR (B) $100. THIS CAP DOES NOT LIMIT LIABILITY THAT CANNOT LAWFULLY BE LIMITED, INCLUDING LIABILITY FOR FRAUD, WILLFUL MISCONDUCT, OR NON-WAIVABLE CONSUMER RIGHTS.
The exclusions and cap apply regardless of the theory of liability and even if a limited remedy fails of its essential purpose. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations; those limitations apply only to the extent permitted.
24.Dispute resolution and binding arbitration
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT, HAVE A JURY TRIAL, AND PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS, COLLECTIVE, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. This section applies only to individual consumer disputes unless a mandatory law or an institutional agreement provides otherwise.
Before starting arbitration or filing a court claim, the party seeking relief must send a written Notice of Dispute to the other party. A Notice to Tagma must be sent to legal@tagmadebate.com and by mail to Tagma Debate LLC, Attn: Legal, 75 E 3rd St, Ste 7, Sheridan, WY 82801. The notice must include the claimant’s full name, account email, mailing address, a detailed description of the facts and legal basis of the dispute, the requested relief, and the claimant’s signature.
After receipt of a complete Notice of Dispute, the parties will attempt in good faith to resolve the matter for 60 calendar days. You and an authorized Tagma representative must personally participate by email, telephone, or video conference if requested. Completing this process is a condition precedent to filing an arbitration demand or court action, except where a shorter period is required by law or immediate injunctive relief is necessary to prevent unauthorized access, misuse, or infringement.
If the dispute is not resolved during the informal period, you and Tagma agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms, the Service, your Account, or the relationship between you and Tagma will be resolved by final and binding individual arbitration rather than in court, except for the exclusions below.
Either party may bring an individual claim in small-claims court if the claim qualifies, remains individual, and stays within that court’s jurisdictional limits. Either party may seek temporary or permanent injunctive relief in court to stop unauthorized access, misuse, security abuse, or infringement of intellectual-property rights. Nothing here prevents a person from reporting an issue to a government agency or exercising a non-waivable statutory right.
YOU AND TAGMA AGREE THAT EACH PARTY MAY BRING CLAIMS ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, COLLECTIVE, CONSOLIDATED, PRIVATE-ATTORNEY-GENERAL, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD RELIEF ONLY TO THE INDIVIDUAL PARTY SEEKING RELIEF AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO RESOLVE THAT PARTY’S CLAIM. YOU AND TAGMA ALSO WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.
The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules then in effect, as modified by these Terms. The arbitration will ordinarily be conducted remotely by documents, telephone, or video conference. No party will be required to travel for a hearing unless the arbitrator determines that an in-person hearing is necessary and applicable law permits it. For claims under $10,000, the matter will be decided on written submissions or remote hearing unless the arbitrator finds a live hearing necessary.
If 25 or more substantially similar arbitration demands are filed against Tagma by or with the assistance of the same law firm, group of law firms, or coordinated organization within a 90-day period, the parties agree that the demands will be administered under the AAA’s then-current mass-arbitration procedures, including any applicable batching protocol. No mass-filing procedure will eliminate a claimant’s right to pursue an individual claim, extend or shorten a legally mandatory deadline, or require a claimant to pay fees prohibited by applicable consumer law.
You may opt out of this arbitration agreement by sending a signed written notice to legal@tagmadebate.com or Tagma Debate LLC, Attn: Arbitration Opt-Out, 75 E 3rd St, Ste 7, Sheridan, WY 82801 within 30 days after you first accept these Terms. The notice must state your name, Account email, address, and clear statement that you opt out. Opting out does not affect the other Terms or any prior arbitration agreement.
25.Governing law and venue
The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of the arbitration section where applicable. Subject to mandatory law and the arbitration section, the laws of the State of Wyoming govern these Terms, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Any non-arbitrable proceeding will be brought in the state or federal courts located in Sheridan County, Wyoming, and each party consents to personal jurisdiction and venue there, unless applicable law gives you the right to proceed elsewhere.
The parties do not intend this section to deprive a consumer of mandatory protections or a legally available local forum.
26.Changes to the Terms
We may update these Terms to reflect changes in law, security, features, business operations, or the Service. For material changes that affect your rights or paid use, we will provide reasonable advance notice through the Service, email, or another legally permitted method and will state the effective date. If you do not agree, stop using the Service and cancel any paid Plan before the effective date where possible. Continuing to use the Service after the effective date means you accept the updated Terms to the extent permitted by law.
We may update a plan, price, or usage limit under the applicable Plan Terms and will provide the notice required for a renewal or material commercial change.
27.General terms and contact
You consent to receive notices, disclosures, receipts, security alerts, service messages, and other communications electronically at the email address or through the Account. You may opt out of promotional messages, but not necessarily service, legal, security, billing, or transactional messages.
You may not assign these Terms without Tagma’s written consent. Tagma may assign or transfer these Terms in connection with a reorganization, merger, acquisition, financing, sale of assets, or transfer of the Service, provided the assignee assumes the relevant obligations. These Terms do not create a partnership, joint venture, employment, agency, fiduciary, or franchise relationship.
Failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. If a provision is unenforceable, it will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, and the remaining provisions will continue in effect. Tagma is not responsible for delay or failure caused by events beyond its reasonable control.
These Terms, the Privacy Policy, applicable Plan Terms, applicable acceptable-use or copyright rules, and any applicable institutional agreement are the entire agreement for the relevant subject. If documents conflict, the order form controls commercial terms, the DPA controls school-data processing, and the institutional agreement controls the school relationship. Provisions concerning Content rights and licenses, fees owed, acceptable use, intellectual property, disclaimers, indemnity, liability, disputes, confidentiality, and general terms survive termination.
Questions about these Terms should be sent to support@tagmadebate.com. Legal notices and dispute notices should be sent to legal@tagmadebate.com and Tagma Debate LLC, 75 E 3rd St, Ste 7, Sheridan, WY 82801.
