Effective date: June 24, 2026. Last updated: June 24, 2026.
Important: These Terms are drafted to be clear and protective. They are not legal advice and should be reviewed by a qualified attorney for your exact jurisdiction, entity structure, products, plugins, payment systems, and business model.

2. Educational and informational use only
TheBuilt provides educational and informational content about mindset, health, wealth, business, learning, growth, systems, execution, habits, and related topics. Content is provided for general information only and does not create a professional-client, adviser-client, fiduciary, medical, legal, financial, coaching, consulting, or business advisory relationship.
Nothing on the website should be treated as professional advice. You are responsible for consulting qualified professionals before making financial, medical, legal, tax, business, investment, fitness, health, or other important decisions.
3. User responsibility and no guarantee of results
You are solely responsible for how you interpret, rely on, or apply any content. Results depend on personal circumstances, judgment, effort, consistency, risk tolerance, environment, execution, and factors outside TheBuilt’s control.
TheBuilt does not promise, warrant, or guarantee any specific result, including financial gain, business success, health improvement, productivity, personal development, professional advancement, or any other outcome.
4. Intellectual property ownership
Unless otherwise stated, all content, branding, text, images, graphics, layouts, page designs, category systems, frameworks, names, logos, style elements, code snippets, editorial formats, and other materials on TheBuilt are owned by TheBuilt or used under license.

5. Limited personal-use license
You are granted a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to access and read the website for personal, non-commercial use. This license does not transfer ownership or intellectual property rights.
You may share links to public pages. Short excerpts may be quoted with clear attribution and a link back to the original page, provided the excerpt is not misleading, excessive, commercialized, or presented as your own work.

You agree not to:
- Use the website for unlawful, deceptive, abusive, harassing, defamatory, or harmful purposes.
- Attempt unauthorized access to the website, server, accounts, systems, workflows, or connected tools.
- Scrape, crawl, harvest, copy, or extract content at scale without permission.

7. User submissions, contact messages, and feedback
If you submit comments, messages, corrections, suggestions, ideas, feedback, or other materials, you represent that you have the right to submit them and that they do not violate any law or third-party rights.
You grant TheBuilt a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, review, reproduce, store, edit, publish, respond to, or otherwise process submissions for operating the site, responding to you, improving content, documenting issues, or protecting legal rights. This does not mean TheBuilt will publicly publish private contact messages.
Do not submit confidential, sensitive, privileged, proprietary, or highly personal information unless expressly requested.
8. Third-party links, services, and embedded content
The website may link to or embed third-party websites, products, tools, platforms, media, services, analytics providers, affiliate partners, advertisers, payment tools, WordPress/Automattic services, or social platforms. TheBuilt does not control third-party services and is not responsible for their content, availability, policies, practices, accuracy, security, or consequences.
Your use of third-party services is governed by their own terms and policies.
9. Affiliate links, ads, sponsorships, and commercial content
TheBuilt may include affiliate links, advertising, sponsored references, product mentions, or commercial content. If you click or purchase through certain links, TheBuilt may receive compensation at no additional cost to you. Such compensation does not guarantee endorsement, suitability, or results. See the Affiliate Disclosure for more information.
10. AI, automation, and editorial tools
TheBuilt may use software, automation, AI-assisted tools, workflow systems, or editorial support tools to help research, organize, draft, edit, format, publish, or maintain content. Content may still contain errors, omissions, outdated information, or incomplete analysis. You are responsible for verifying important information before relying on it.
11. Accuracy, availability, and updates
TheBuilt aims to publish useful and accurate information, but no representation is made that content is complete, current, error-free, uninterrupted, secure, or suitable for your circumstances. Content may be updated, removed, revised, archived, or changed at any time without notice.
The website may experience downtime, technical issues, broken links, plugin failures, content display issues, or service interruptions. TheBuilt is not liable for unavailable or interrupted access.
12. Disclaimer of warranties
The website and all content are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. To the fullest extent permitted by law, TheBuilt disclaims all warranties, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, accuracy, availability, security, and reliability.
13. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, TheBuilt and its owners, operators, contributors, contractors, service providers, affiliates, and related parties will not be liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary, punitive, or similar damages, including loss of profits, revenue, data, business opportunities, reputation, health outcomes, financial outcomes, or other losses arising from your use of or inability to use the website or content.
Where liability cannot be excluded, liability is limited to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.
14. Indemnification
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless TheBuilt and its owners, operators, contributors, contractors, affiliates, and service providers from and against claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses arising from your use of the website, your violation of these Terms, your submissions, your misuse of content, or your violation of law or third-party rights.
15. Access restriction and termination
TheBuilt may restrict, suspend, block, or terminate access to the website, features, contact channels, comments, or content at any time, with or without notice, if misuse, abuse, risk, legal concerns, or violation of these Terms is suspected.
16. Privacy
Your use of the website is also governed by the Privacy Policy, which explains how personal information may be collected, used, shared, retained, and protected.
17. Governing law and disputes
Where permitted by law, these Terms and disputes relating to the website or content will be interpreted according to the laws applicable to the operator’s principal place of establishment, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Mandatory consumer protection laws in your jurisdiction may still apply where they cannot legally be waived.
Before filing any formal claim, you agree to first contact TheBuilt and attempt in good faith to resolve the issue informally. Nothing in this section prevents either party from seeking urgent injunctive or equitable relief where appropriate.
18. Severability and no waiver
If any part of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in effect. Failure to enforce any part of these Terms does not waive the right to enforce it later.
19. Changes to these Terms
TheBuilt may update these Terms at any time. Updated Terms will be posted on this page with a revised “Last updated” date. Continued use of the website after changes means you accept the updated Terms.
