Thoughts Draft is not responsible for the availability, content, security, services, statements, or privacy practices of third-party websites. You access them at your own discretion and risk.
We aim to keep Thoughts Draft available, functional, and up to date, but we do not guarantee that the website will always be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or available at all times.

Without limiting the above, we do not guarantee that:
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Thoughts Draft, its owners, operators, contributors, licensors, and affiliates shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary, or punitive damages arising out of or related to your access to, use of, inability to use, or reliance on the website or any content made available through it.

We reserve the right, at our sole discretion and without liability, to restrict, suspend, or terminate access to all or part of Thoughts Draft if we believe a user has violated these Terms, created legal or security risk, abused the website, or otherwise acted in a way inconsistent with the intended use of the platform.
Suspension or termination may occur with or without prior notice where reasonably necessary to protect the website, its content, or its readers.
We may revise or update these Terms & Conditions from time to time to reflect legal, editorial, technical, or operational changes. When we do, we may update the “Last Updated” date on this page and publish the revised version on the website.
It is your responsibility to review these Terms periodically. Your continued use of Thoughts Draft after updated Terms are posted may be treated as acceptance of those revised Terms.
If any part of these Terms is found to be unlawful, invalid, or unenforceable under applicable law, that provision shall be treated as severed to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.
These Terms & Conditions, together with any policies or legal notices expressly incorporated by reference on the website, constitute the full understanding between you and Thoughts Draft regarding your use of the website and supersede prior understandings relating to that subject matter.
