The Site is operated by Administrative Assistant Resources ("we," "our," or "us"). These Terms apply to all visitors and users.

We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to:

• Read and use the Site for your personal or internal business purposes.
• Download and adapt our templates for use within your own organization or for your own administrative work.

3.4 Feedback you send us

If you send us suggestions, corrections, ideas, or other feedback, you grant us a worldwide, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable license to use, modify, and incorporate that feedback into the Site without obligation to you.

4. Templates and Examples

Templates and example content on the Site are starting points, not finished documents. You are responsible for adapting any downloaded template to your organization's policies, your local laws, and your specific use case before relying on it. See our Editorial Disclaimer for further detail.

5. No Professional Advice

The Site is an editorial resource. Content is not legal, financial, tax, HR, medical, or other professional advice, and we are not your professional advisor. Decisions about your career, your salary, your contracts, your filings, and your workplace policies should be reviewed with a qualified professional who knows your specific situation.

6. Third-Party Links and Services

The Site may link to third-party websites and use third-party services such as Google Analytics and Google AdSense. We do not control those third parties and are not responsible for their content, products, services, or practices. Your interactions with them are governed by their own terms and policies.

7. Disclaimers

The Site and all content on it are provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, express or implied. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, currency, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Site will be uninterrupted, secure, or free of errors.

8. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Administrative Assistant Resources will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill, or other intangible losses, arising from or related to your use of the Site or any content on it.

Where liability cannot be excluded, our total aggregate liability for any claims arising from or related to these Terms or the Site is limited to the greater of (a) the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the claim, or (b) one hundred U.S. dollars.

9. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Administrative Assistant Resources and its contributors from any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and reasonable expenses (including legal fees) arising out of or related to your use or misuse of the Site, your breach of these Terms, your violation of any law or third-party right, or any content you submit to us.

10. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Site at any time, without prior notice, if we reasonably believe you have breached these Terms or are using the Site in a way that harms us or other users. On termination, the rights granted to you under these Terms end immediately. Sections that by their nature should survive termination — such as intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, and indemnification — will survive.

11. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of [Jurisdiction], without regard to its conflict of laws rules. Disputes arising from or related to these Terms will be brought in the courts located in [Jurisdiction], and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts. Nothing in this section limits your rights as a consumer under the mandatory laws of your country of residence.

12. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. The "Last reviewed" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent material change. Continued use of the Site after the change becomes effective constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms. If you do not agree to a change, stop using the Site.

13. Copyright Complaints

If you believe content on the Site infringes your copyright, please send a notice to legal@administrativeassistant.net that includes:

• A description of the copyrighted work you claim has been infringed.
• The URL on the Site where the alleged infringement appears.
• Your contact information.
• A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use is not authorized.
• A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the rights holder or are authorized to act on the rights holder's behalf.
• Your physical or electronic signature.

14. Severability and Waiver

If any provision of these Terms is held to be unenforceable, that provision will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, and the remaining provisions will continue in full force. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of our right to enforce it later.

15. Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, the Cookie Policy, and the Editorial Disclaimer, constitute the entire agreement between you and Administrative Assistant Resources regarding the Site, and supersede any prior agreements on the same subject.
