Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of Terms

These Terms of Service (the “Terms”) are a binding contract between you and Sentinel Media Inc. (“Sentinel Media,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). They govern your access to and use of our websites, including sentinelmedia.co, our mobile applications, and any related products and services we offer (collectively, the “Services”).

By creating an account, downloading or installing one of our applications, or otherwise accessing or using the Services, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and by our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Services.

2. About Sentinel Media and the Services

Sentinel Media Inc. is a Wyoming corporation that builds consumer mobile applications that organize publicly available online content into clean, searchable, real-time feeds. Our applications aggregate content that has been posted by named third-party sources (for example, public posts, public broadcasts, and public articles) and present that content in a format that is easier to navigate than the original platforms.

The Services are provided for personal, non-commercial use only, unless we expressly authorize otherwise in writing.

3. Eligibility

• Age. You must be at least 13 years old to use the Services. If you are under the age of majority in your jurisdiction (typically 18), you may only use the Services with the involvement and consent of a parent or legal guardian who agrees to these Terms on your behalf.
• Paid features. You must be at least 18 years old (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction) to purchase a subscription or any other paid feature.
• Authority. If you are using the Services on behalf of an entity, you represent and warrant that you have authority to bind that entity to these Terms.
• Compliance. You may only use the Services if you can lawfully do so under the laws of your country of residence and the laws of the United States. You may not use the Services if you are located in, or are a national or resident of, any country or region subject to comprehensive U.S. trade sanctions, or if you appear on any U.S. government list of restricted or prohibited parties.

4. Accounts and Registration

Some features of the Services require you to create an account. You agree to:

• Provide accurate, current, and complete information when you create your account;
• Keep your account credentials confidential and not share them with any third party;
• Be solely responsible for all activity that occurs under your account; and
• Notify us promptly at hello@sentinelmedia.co if you suspect any unauthorized use of your account.

We may refuse to create, suspend, or terminate any account at our discretion, including where we believe an account has been used in violation of these Terms.

5. Subscriptions, Billing, and Auto-Renewal

Some features of our applications are available only to users who purchase a paid subscription. Subscriptions are sold and billed through the Apple App Store (for iOS devices) or the Google Play Store (for Android devices) and are governed by the in-app purchase terms of the applicable store. We do not receive or store your full payment card details.

5.1 Pricing and Term

The price, billing period, and content of each subscription will be displayed in the application before you confirm your purchase. Prices may vary by country and are subject to applicable taxes.

5.2 Auto-Renewal

Subscriptions automatically renew at the end of each billing period at the then-current price unless you cancel before the renewal date. Your Apple ID or Google account will be charged for the renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period.

5.3 How to Cancel

You can cancel your subscription at any time by managing your subscriptions in your Apple ID account settings (iOS) or your Google Play account settings (Android). Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period; you will continue to have access to paid features until that date. Uninstalling the application does not cancel your subscription.

6. Free Trials, Cancellations, and Refunds

If we offer a free trial, the trial will begin when you sign up and will automatically convert to a paid subscription at the end of the trial period unless you cancel before the trial ends. Only one free trial per Apple ID or Google account is permitted.

Because subscriptions are processed by Apple and Google, refund requests are generally handled directly by those companies under their respective refund policies. We do not have the technical ability to issue refunds for App Store or Play Store transactions. If you believe you are entitled to a refund, please contact Apple Support (for iOS) or Google Play Support (for Android). We may, in our sole discretion, provide additional courtesy credits or pro-rated refunds where required by law.

7. License to Use the Services

Subject to your compliance with these Terms, we grant you a personal, limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable license to download, install, and use our applications on a mobile device that you own or control, and to access the Services through our websites, solely for your personal, non-commercial use.

This license does not include any right to: (a) resell, sublicense, or commercially exploit the Services; (b) copy, modify, or create derivative works of the Services; (c) reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble any part of the Services, except to the extent expressly permitted by applicable law; (d) remove any copyright, trademark, or proprietary notices; or (e) use the Services to build a competing product.

8. Acceptable Use

• Use the Services in violation of any applicable law, regulation, or third-party right;
• Use the Services to harass, threaten, defame, or harm any other person;
• Use any automated means (including bots, scrapers, or crawlers) to access, monitor, or copy any portion of the Services, except as expressly permitted by us in writing or by an applicable robots.txt or API agreement;
• Interfere with, disrupt, or impose an unreasonable load on the Services, our servers, or our service providers' networks;
• Probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of any system or network, or breach any security or authentication measures;

• Use the Services in any manner that could damage, disable, overburden, or impair our reputation or our infrastructure.

9. Third-Party Content and No Endorsement

Our Services aggregate publicly available content that has been posted by named third-party sources. We make commercially reasonable efforts to attribute content correctly and to link to the original source, but:

• We do not author the third-party content and do not vouch for its accuracy, completeness, timeliness, legality, or fitness for any purpose;
• The opinions, statements, predictions, or claims contained in third-party content are those of the source, not of Sentinel Media;
• Inclusion of a source in our feeds does not constitute an endorsement, recommendation, or sponsorship by Sentinel Media of that source, that source's content, or any product, service, person, or entity referenced in that content;
• Any reliance you place on third-party content is at your own risk; and
• If you believe a piece of third-party content infringes your rights or violates applicable law, please contact us at hello@sentinelmedia.co and, where applicable, follow the DMCA process in Section 13.

10. No Professional or Financial Advice

The Services are provided for informational purposes only. Nothing in the Services constitutes financial, investment, legal, accounting, tax, medical, or other professional advice. You should not act, or refrain from acting, on the basis of any content in the Services without first seeking advice from a qualified professional. We do not recommend the purchase, sale, or holding of any security, currency, asset, or financial product. Your financial decisions are your own responsibility.

11. Intellectual Property

The Services, including all software, design, layout, brand names, logos, trademarks, service marks, and original content created by us, are owned by Sentinel Media Inc. or our licensors and are protected by United States and international intellectual property laws. Except for the limited license granted in Section 7, no rights are transferred to you by your use of the Services.

“Sentinel Media” and our logo are trademarks of Sentinel Media Inc. You may not use these marks without our prior written permission. All other trademarks, service marks, and trade names referenced in the Services are the property of their respective owners; their appearance in the Services does not imply any affiliation with, sponsorship by, or endorsement by those owners.

12. Feedback

If you send us suggestions, ideas, feature requests, or other feedback about the Services, you grant us a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, sublicensable, transferable license to use, modify, and exploit that feedback for any purpose, without compensation or attribution to you. Feedback is not confidential.

13. Copyright and DMCA Notices

We respect the intellectual property rights of others. If you believe that content available through the Services infringes a copyright you own or control, please send a notice that complies with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 512) to our designated agent. Your notice must include:

• A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or person authorized to act on their behalf;
• Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed;
• Identification of the allegedly infringing material and information sufficient for us to locate it (such as a URL or screen reference within our application);
• Your contact information (mailing address, telephone number, and email address);
• A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and
• A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.

Send notices to:

We may, in appropriate circumstances and in our sole discretion, terminate the accounts of users who are repeat infringers.

14. Privacy

Our collection and use of information about you is described in our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. By using the Services, you consent to the practices described in the Privacy Policy.

15. Disclaimers

The Services are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis, without warranties of any kind, either express or implied.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Sentinel Media and its officers, directors, employees, agents, licensors, and service providers (collectively, the “Sentinel Parties”) disclaim all warranties, express or implied, in connection with the Services, including, without limitation, implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, and any warranties arising out of course of dealing or usage of trade.

Without limiting the foregoing, the Sentinel Parties do not warrant that:

• The Services will meet your requirements or expectations;
• The Services will be uninterrupted, secure, timely, or error-free;
• Any content delivered through the Services will be accurate, complete, current, reliable, or free of errors; or
• Any defects in the Services will be corrected.

You assume all risk associated with your use of the Services and with any content displayed in the Services.

16. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event will the Sentinel Parties be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, including loss of profits, loss of data, loss of goodwill, business interruption, or any other intangible loss, arising out of or relating to your use of (or inability to use) the Services, even if Sentinel Media has been advised of the possibility of such damages.

In no event will the aggregate liability of the Sentinel Parties for any claim arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services exceed the greater of (a) the amounts you paid to Sentinel Media for the Services in the twelve (12) months preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) one hundred U.S. dollars ($100).

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or the limitation or exclusion of liability for incidental or consequential damages, so some of the above limitations may not apply to you. In such jurisdictions, the Sentinel Parties' liability will be limited to the greatest extent permitted by law.

17. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Sentinel Parties from and against any and all claims, damages, liabilities, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or relating to: (a) your access to or use of the Services; (b) your violation of these Terms; (c) your violation of any applicable law or any third-party right; or (d) any content you submit, post, or transmit through the Services. We reserve the right to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter subject to indemnification by you, in which event you will cooperate with us in asserting any available defenses.

18. Termination and Suspension

We may suspend or terminate your access to all or any part of the Services at any time, with or without cause, with or without notice, including if we believe you have violated these Terms or applicable law. You may terminate your account at any time by deleting the application from your device and emailing us at hello@sentinelmedia.co to request account deletion.

Upon termination, your right to use the Services will cease immediately. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including Sections 11, 13, 15, 16, 17, 19, and 21) will survive.

19. Governing Law, Arbitration, and Class Action Waiver

19.1 Governing Law

These Terms and any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services will be governed by the laws of the State of Wyoming, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply to these Terms.

19.2 Informal Dispute Resolution

Before initiating any formal proceeding, you and Sentinel Media agree to first try in good faith to resolve any dispute informally for at least 60 days. You may begin this process by sending a written notice describing the dispute to hello@sentinelmedia.co.

19.3 Binding Arbitration

If a dispute is not resolved informally within 60 days, you and Sentinel Media agree to resolve the dispute by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules. The arbitration will be conducted by a single arbitrator, in English, on a documents-only basis where the amount in dispute is below the threshold permitting such proceedings, or otherwise in a location to be determined by the AAA in accordance with its rules. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

19.4 Class Action Waiver

You and Sentinel Media agree that any dispute will be resolved on an individual basis. Neither you nor Sentinel Media may bring a claim as a plaintiff or class member in a class, collective, consolidated, or representative action. The arbitrator may not consolidate the claims of multiple parties and may not preside over any form of representative or class proceeding.

19.5 Exceptions

Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may (a) bring an individual claim in small claims court, and (b) seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to protect its intellectual property rights.

19.6 Opt-Out

You may opt out of the arbitration agreement and class action waiver in Section 19.3 and 19.4 by sending a written opt-out notice to hello@sentinelmedia.co within 30 days of first accepting these Terms. Your notice must include your full name, the email address associated with your account, and a clear statement that you wish to opt out of arbitration. Opting out will not affect any other provision of these Terms.

20. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, our Services, or applicable law. When we make material changes, we will update the “Last Updated” date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, provide additional notice (such as an in-app notification or an email to your account address). Your continued use of the Services after the effective date of revised Terms constitutes your acceptance of the changes. If you do not agree with the revised Terms, you must stop using the Services.

21. Miscellaneous

• Entire agreement. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any additional terms applicable to specific features, constitute the entire agreement between you and Sentinel Media regarding the Services and supersede any prior agreements.
• No waiver. Our failure to enforce any provision of these Terms is not a waiver of that provision or of any other provision.
• Severability. If any provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect, and the unenforceable provision will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable while preserving the parties' intent.
• Assignment. You may not assign or transfer these Terms or your account, by operation of law or otherwise, without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of all or substantially all of our assets, or as otherwise permitted by law.
• Force majeure. We will not be liable for any failure or delay in performance to the extent caused by events beyond our reasonable control, including acts of God, natural disasters, war, terrorism, civil disturbances, labor disputes, governmental action, network or infrastructure failures, or pandemic.
• Apple-specific terms. If you obtained one of our applications through the Apple App Store, you acknowledge and agree that these Terms are between you and Sentinel Media only, and not with Apple, Inc. Apple is not responsible for the application or its content. Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for the application. In the event of any failure of the application to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, which will refund the purchase price (if any) you paid for the application; to the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation with respect to the application. Apple is a third-party beneficiary of these Terms and may enforce them against you.
• Google-specific terms. If you obtained one of our applications through the Google Play Store, your use of the application is also subject to the Google Play Terms of Service.
• Export controls. You agree to comply with all U.S. and applicable foreign export control laws and regulations in your use of the Services.
• Headings. Section headings in these Terms are for convenience only and have no legal effect.
