      <h1 className="text-3xl font-semibold">Terms of Service</h1>
      <p className="text-xs text-ink/50 mt-1">Last updated: April 24, 2026</p>

      <h2 className="mt-6 text-xl font-semibold">1. What Drops is</h2>
      <p>Drops is a paid daily newsletter that curates abandoned US trademarks, public-domain works, and domain-lifecycle opportunities. Each issue lists candidate assets with editorial commentary and suggested monetization angles.</p>

      <h2 className="mt-6 text-xl font-semibold">2. Not legal advice</h2>
      <p>Nothing in Drops is legal advice. Candidate trademarks may carry residual common-law rights, derivative-work protections, trade dress, or rights of publicity that are not visible in public records. Before registering any mark or purchasing any domain referenced in Drops, consult a USPTO-registered trademark attorney. We expressly disclaim liability for decisions made on the basis of Drops content, including but not limited to trademark applications rejected, oppositions filed against you, or damages under the Anticybersquatting Consumer Protection Act (15 U.S.C. §1125(d)).</p>

      <h2 className="mt-6 text-xl font-semibold">3. Subscription, payment, renewal</h2>
      <p>Drops offers a Free Trial (3 drops), a Standard tier ($29 USD/month), and a Pro tier ($99 USD/month). Paid subscriptions are billed monthly in advance via Stripe and automatically renew until cancelled. You may cancel at any time from your subscriber portal; access continues through the end of the paid period.</p>

      <h2 className="mt-6 text-xl font-semibold">4. Refund policy (link)</h2>
      <p>See our <a href="/legal/refund" className="text-brass underline">Refund Policy</a>. Short version: first-7-days money-back, no questions asked; after that, cancel to stop future billing.</p>

      <h2 className="mt-6 text-xl font-semibold">5. Content accuracy</h2>
      <p>We compile Drops from public records: USPTO TSDR, US Copyright Office, WHOIS, and site metadata. Data may be outdated or incomplete. Scores and opportunity labels are estimates produced by a combination of deterministic rules and local-language-model inference. We do not guarantee that any candidate is available to register, purchase, or license. Any decision to act is yours alone.</p>

      <h2 className="mt-6 text-xl font-semibold">6. Acceptable use</h2>
      <p>You may not use Drops to engage in bad-faith cybersquatting, fraudulent trademark filings, or any activity that would violate the Lanham Act, the ACPA, or equivalent foreign law. Using Drops data to demand payment from a mark's legitimate user is the scenario those laws exist to prevent. If we detect this pattern of use, we will terminate your subscription and retain the paid portion.</p>

      <h2 className="mt-6 text-xl font-semibold">7. Data we keep</h2>
      <p>Email address, optional name, Stripe customer/subscription IDs, delivery records (sent/opened), and any referrals you generate. We do not sell or share with third parties. See the <a href="/legal/privacy" className="text-brass underline">Privacy Policy</a> for details and deletion requests.</p>

      <h2 className="mt-6 text-xl font-semibold">8. Termination</h2>
      <p>We may terminate accounts for: (a) chargebacks or payment fraud, (b) abusive automation against our endpoints, (c) use of Drops in support of prohibited conduct in §6. On termination we cease future billing, stop delivery, and retain records as required by tax law.</p>

      <h2 className="mt-6 text-xl font-semibold">9. Liability cap</h2>
      <p>To the fullest extent permitted by law, our aggregate liability is limited to the amounts you paid in the 12 months preceding the claim. We are not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages.</p>

      <h2 className="mt-6 text-xl font-semibold">10. Governing law + venue</h2>
      <p>These terms are governed by the laws of the State of California. Any dispute will be resolved by binding arbitration in Los Angeles County, California, under the rules of the American Arbitration Association — except small-claims court, which is always available.</p>

      <h3 className="mt-3 text-lg font-semibold">10a. 30-day arbitration opt-out</h3>
      <p>You may opt out of arbitration by emailing <a href="mailto:drops@agentabrams.com" className="text-brass underline">drops@agentabrams.com</a> with the subject line <strong>&quot;Arbitration Opt-Out&quot;</strong> within 30 days of first subscribing. The email must come from the address on your subscriber account and include your full name. Opting out does not otherwise affect these Terms; any dispute will instead be resolved in the state or federal courts of Los Angeles County, California.</p>

      <h2 className="mt-6 text-xl font-semibold">11. Changes</h2>
      <p>We may revise these terms. Material changes will be emailed to active subscribers at least 7 days before taking effect; continued use after the effective date is acceptance.</p>
