# Contribution Terms Revision: 2026-10-04.1. Updated: October 4, 2026. Effective date: October 4, 2026. This authorization applies to the Source material identified in the Contributor confirmation. Reading it alone does not record agreement. ## Contribution Terms These Contribution Terms are a self-contained authorization between the actual Contributor and Balushi Digital LLC, operator of Lizards, for the Source material identified in that Contributor's explicit confirmation. Contact: info@trylizards.com. Mailing address: 8 The Green, STE B, Dover, DE 19901, United States. These terms share revision 2026-10-04.1, updated October 4, 2026, and are effective October 4, 2026. No authorization is obtained by reading these terms alone. The separate confirmation flow must record actual agreement to a usable version before new contributions are used. ### Covered material and ownership A Contributor supplies or authorizes Source material to help Lizards prepare Course content. Being a Learner, joining the Waitlist, or studying lessons does not make you a Contributor. Your confirmation must identify the specific materials by reference or description; files continue arriving through existing channels. It does not authorize unidentified future submissions or unrelated documents. You retain ownership of rights you hold in your Source material. You promise that you are at least 18, can grant this authorization, and own or have obtained the permissions necessary for the uses below, including relevant copyright, confidentiality, privacy, and other rights. Tell us about restrictions before authorizing a contribution. Possessing a file, classroom access, an educational purpose, or AI rewriting does not establish rights to adapt and publish protected expression or arrangements. Do not supply confidential information, unnecessary personal information, restricted assessments or exam answers, unlawfully obtained material, or third-party work you lack permission to authorize. Remove such information or obtain the necessary permissions first. Permission to use general facts does not automatically permit copying a source's expression, selection, or arrangement. This agreement cannot grant rights belonging to an absent third party. ### License and limits For the identified Source material and rights you can grant, you give Balushi Digital LLC a worldwide, nonexclusive, royalty-free license to reproduce, store, analyze, process with editorial AI and voice tools, adapt, translate, combine, and prepare Course content, and to publish, display, perform, distribute, and make the resulting lessons available through Lizards and its distribution channels. The grant covers the free Beta and future paid services, if offered; it does not state that paid services exist now. No contribution payment is promised. You authorize the service-provider and distribution permissions reasonably needed to exercise that license, including supplying relevant material to editorial AI providers such as OpenAI and Anthropic and supplying narration or voice selections to Fish Audio. Processing depends on those providers' actual accounts, terms, and settings; no universal zero-retention or no-provider-training guarantee is made. This grant does not authorize use of a person's voice without the separate rights or permissions needed for that voice. If you stop contributing, we may continue using and distributing lessons already created from the authorized material and retain and process supporting Source material as reasonably needed for those lessons, permissions, and justified legal records. Continued use remains subject to valid rights complaints and mandatory law. You may ask us about stopping future use of a specific source; stopping contributions does not automatically retract already-created lessons or authorize new, unidentified submissions. The license does not permit separate resale of your raw documents or advertising use of your name, likeness, or other identity. Any such use requires separate authorization. We do not claim ownership of all third-party sources, facts, AI outputs, or voices by virtue of this agreement. ### Responsibility for breached promises To the extent lawful, you agree to indemnify Balushi Digital LLC for reasonable losses, damages, and defense costs arising from third-party claims caused by your breach of the rights, permission, confidentiality, or submission promises in these Contribution Terms. This applies only to the extent the claim is caused by that breach; it is not a transfer of all company liability. It does not cover our own fraud, willful misconduct, gross negligence, recklessness, unauthorized uses outside your grant, or responsibilities that cannot lawfully be shifted. Ordinary Learners do not give source-rights warranties or this indemnity merely by studying company-published lessons. We will give reasonably prompt notice of a covered claim, with any delay reducing your responsibility only to the extent it materially prejudices your defense. You may participate in the defense and, where appropriate, undertake it with competent counsel reasonably acceptable to us. We will reasonably cooperate and take reasonable steps to limit covered losses. We may participate with our own counsel at our own expense except where a conflict reasonably requires separate defense for a covered claim. No settlement may bind a party, admit its fault, impose nonmonetary obligations on it, or fail to release it without its written consent; consent to an appropriate settlement will not be unreasonably withheld. Mandatory-law limits apply throughout. ### Confirmation, disputes, and contact New contributions require actual agreement before use. For identified materials supplied earlier, a new confirmation uses the real acceptance date; it is not proof of past assent or retroactive clearance of third-party rights. A receipt records supplied identity, the material reference, exact agreed wording, and server receipt time. It does not verify identity or guarantee the truth of rights claims. Delaware law governs these Contribution Terms while preserving mandatory consumer protections and rights that apply where you live. Disputes may be brought in ordinary courts with jurisdiction, including eligible small claims. These Contribution Terms impose no mandatory arbitration, class-action waiver, contractual jury waiver, or exclusive out-of-state forum. Contacting info@trylizards.com is encouraged but is not a precondition to urgent relief, regulator complaints, court access, or meeting filing deadlines. This indemnity is limited to its qualified scope above; no other provision expands the Contributor's indemnity obligations.
