Terms of Service

These Terms of Service ("Terms") describe my commitments to you and your rights and responsibilities when using my services. Please read them carefully and reach out if you have any questions.

If you are a user in countries located in the European Economic Area, Switzerland, or the United Kingdom (“European User”), some special terms apply to you as mentioned below.

These Terms govern your access to and use of services managed by Cox of Donuts LLC, which include JustinCox.com, email newsletters, or paid subscriptions (my “Services”). Please read these Terms carefully before accessing or using my Services. By accessing or using any part of my Services, you agree to be bound by all of the Terms and all other operating rules, policies, and procedures that I may publish via the Services from time to time (collectively, the “Agreement”). You also agree that I may automatically change, update, or add on to the Services as stated in the Terms, and the Agreement will apply to any changes.

1: Who’s Who

“You” means any individual or entity using my Services. If you use my Services on behalf of another person or entity, you represent and warrant that you’re authorized to accept the Agreement on that person’s or entity’s behalf, that by using my Services you’re accepting the Agreement on behalf of that person or entity, and that if you, or that person or entity, violates the Agreement, you and that person or entity agree to be responsible to me.

I refer to Cox of Donuts LLC and Justin Cox collectively as "me" or "I" throughout these Terms.

2: Your Account

When using my Services requires an account, you agree to provide me with complete and accurate information and to keep the information current so that I can communicate with you about your account. I may need to send you emails about notable updates (like changes to my Terms of Service or Privacy Policy), or to let you know about legal inquiries or complaints I receive about the ways you use my Services so you can make informed choices in response.

I may limit your access to my Services until I'm able to verify your account information, like your email address.

You’re solely responsible and liable for all activity under your account. You’re also fully responsible for maintaining the security of your account (which includes keeping your password secure). I'm not liable for any acts or omissions by you, including any damages of any kind incurred as a result of your acts or omissions.

Don’t share or misuse your access credentials. And notify me immediately of any unauthorized uses of your account or of any other breach of security. If I believe your account has been compromised, I may suspend or disable it.

If you’d like to learn about how I handle the data you provide, please see my Privacy Policy.

3: Minimum Age Requirements

My Services are not directed to children. You’re not allowed to access or use my Services if you’re under the age of 13 (or 16 in Europe). If you register as a user or otherwise use my Services, you represent that you’re at least 13 (or 16 in Europe). You may use my Services only if you can legally form a binding contract with me. In other words, if you’re under 18 years of age (or the legal age of majority where you live), you can only use my Services under the supervision of a parent or legal guardian who agrees to the Agreement.

4: Responsibility of Visitors and Users

I haven’t reviewed, and can’t review, all of the content (like text, photo, video, audio, code, computer software, items for sale, and other materials) posted to or made available through my Services by users or anyone else (”Content”) or on websites that link to, or are linked from, my Services. I'm not responsible for any use or effects of Content or third-party websites. So, for example:

• I don’t have any control over third-party websites.
• A link to or from one of my Services does not represent or imply that I endorse any third-party website.
• I don’t endorse any Content or represent that Content is accurate, useful, or not harmful. Content could be offensive, indecent, or objectionable; include technical inaccuracies, typographical mistakes, or other errors; or violate or infringe the privacy, publicity rights, intellectual property rights, or other proprietary rights of third parties.
• I'm not responsible for any harm resulting from anyone’s access, use, purchase, or downloading of Content, or for any harm resulting from third-party websites. You’re responsible for taking the necessary precautions to protect yourself and your computer systems from viruses, worms, Trojan horses, and other harmful or destructive content.
• Any Content that’s for sale through any of my Services is the seller’s sole responsibility, so you must look solely to the seller for any damages that result from your purchase or use of Content.
• I are not a party to, and will have no responsibility or liability for, any communications, transactions, interactions, or disputes between you and the provider of any Content.

Please note that additional third-party terms and conditions may apply to Content you download, copy, purchase, or use.

5: Fees, Payment, and Renewal

Fees for Paid Services

Some of my Services, such as certain subscription tiers or the leave a tip feature, are offered for a fee (collectively, “Paid Services”). This section applies to any purchases of Paid Services.

By using a Paid Service, you agree to pay the specified fees. Depending on the Paid Service, there may be different kinds of fees, like some that are one-time or recurring. For recurring fees (AKA subscriptions), your subscription begins on your purchase date, and we’ll bill or charge you in the automatically-renewing interval (such as monthly or annually) you select, on a pre-pay basis until you cancel, which you can do at any time in your account or by contacting me.

Taxes

To the extent permitted by law, or unless explicitly stated otherwise, all fees do not include applicable federal, provincial, state, local or other governmental sales, value-added, goods and services, harmonized or other taxes, fees, or charges ("Taxes"). You’re responsible for paying all applicable Taxes relating to your use of my Services, your payments, or your purchases. If I'm obligated to pay or collect Taxes on the fees you’ve paid or will pay, you’re responsible for those Taxes, and I may collect payment from you.

Payment

You must provide accurate and up-to-date payment information. By providing your payment information, you authorize me to store it until you request deletion. If your payment fails, I suspect fraud, or Paid Services are otherwise not paid for or paid for on time (for example, if you contact your bank or credit card company to decline or reverse the charge of fees for Paid Services), I may immediately cancel or revoke your access to Paid Services without notice to you. You authorize me to charge any updated payment information provided by your bank or payment service provider (e.g., new expiration date) or other payment methods provided if I can’t charge your primary payment method.

Automatic Renewal

By enrolling in a subscription, you authorize me to automatically charge the then-applicable fees and Taxes for each subsequent subscription period until the subscription is canceled. If you received a discount, used a coupon code, or subscribed during a free trial or promotion, your subscription will automatically renew for the full price of the subscription at the end of the discount period. This means that unless you cancel a subscription, it’ll automatically renew and I'll charge your payment method(s). You must cancel at least one month before the scheduled end date of any annual subscription and at least 24 hours before the end of any shorter subscription period. The date for the automatic renewal is based on the date of the original purchase and cannot be changed. If you’ve purchased access to multiple services, you may have multiple renewal dates.

You can view your renewal date(s), cancel, or manage subscriptions in your account or by contacting me.

Fees and Changes

I may change my fees at any time in accordance with these Terms and requirements under applicable law. This means that I may change my fees going forward, start charging fees for Services that were previously free, or remove or update features or functionality that were previously included in the fees. If you don’t agree with the changes, you must cancel your Paid Service.

Refunds

I may have a refund policy for some of my Paid Services, and I'll also provide refunds if required by law. In all other cases, there are no refunds and all payments are final.

I may have a “no-show policy” for some Paid Services that require your participation. This means that if you don’t show up for, don’t participate in, or are late for a scheduled session, you’ll still be charged for the Paid Service and won’t be entitled to a refund.

European Users

You have the right to withdraw from the transaction within fourteen (14) days from the date of the purchase without giving any reason as long as your purchase was not of downloadable content or of a customized nature, and (i) the service has not been fully performed, or (ii) subject to other limitations as permitted by law. For digital content, you agree that any purchase of digital content will be made available to you immediately and as a result you waive any right of withdrawal to such content.

If you cancel this contract, I will reimburse you all payments I have received from you, including delivery costs (with the exception of additional costs resulting from the fact that you have chosen a type of delivery other than the most favorable standard delivery offered by me), without undue delay and no later than within fourteen (14) days from the day on which I received the notification of your cancellation of this contract. For this repayment, I will use the same means of payment that you used for the original transaction, unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; you will not be charged for this repayment. If I have already begun my services during the withdrawal period, you will pay me a prorated amount corresponding to the services already provided up to the time you notify me of the exercise of the withdrawal right compared to the total scope of the services provided for in the contract. If you cancel your contract with me, you will refrain from using the digital content or digital services or making them available to third parties.

You may exercise your right to withdrawal by sending a clear, written request to: 401 N. Mills Ave Ste B PMB 1059 Orlando FL 32803 United States

7: Copyright Policy

As I ask others to respect my intellectual property rights, I respect the intellectual property rights of others. If you believe any Content violates your copyright, please send me a notice.

8: Intellectual Property

The Agreement doesn’t transfer any Cox of Donuts LLC or third-party intellectual property to you, and all right, title, and interest in and to such property remains (as between me and you) solely with me. Cox of Donuts LLC, This Just In, Write Now, The Writing Cooperative, and all other trademarks, service marks, graphics, and logos used in connection with my websites or Services are owned and maintained by Cox of Donuts LLC.

Using my Services doesn’t grant you any right or license to reproduce or otherwise use any of my or third-party trademarks.

9: Changes

I may modify the Terms from time to time, for example, to reflect changes to my Services (e.g., adding new features or benefits to my Services or retiring certain features of certain Services) or for legal, regulatory, or security reasons. If I do this, I'll provide notice of the changes, such as by posting the amended Terms and updating the changelog or, if the changes, in my sole discretion, are material, I may notify you through my Services or other communications. Any changes will apply on a going-forward basis, and, unless I say otherwise, the amended Terms will be effective immediately. By continuing to use my Services after I've notified you, you agree to be bound by the new Terms. You have the right to object to any changes at any time by ceasing your use of my Services and canceling any subscription you have.

10: Termination

I may terminate your access to all or any part of my Services at any time, with or without cause or notice, effective immediately, including if I believe, in my sole discretion, that you have violated this Agreement, any service guidelines, or other applicable terms. I have the right (though not the obligation) to terminate or deny access to and use of any of my Services to any individual or entity for any reason. In the event of termination, I will have no obligation to provide a refund of any fees previously paid.

You can stop using my Services at any time, or, if you use a Paid Service, you can cancel at any time, subject to the Fees, Payment, and Renewal section of these Terms.

13: Limitation of Liability

In no event will Justin Cox and Cox of Donuts LLC, or its suppliers, partners, or licensors, be liable (including for any third-party products or services purchased or used through my Services) with respect to any subject matter of the Agreement under any contract, negligence, strict liability or other legal or equitable theory for: (i) any special, incidental or consequential damages; (ii) the cost of procurement for substitute products or services; (iii) for interruption of use or loss or corruption of data; or (iv) for any amounts that exceed $50 or the fees paid by you to Cox of Donuts LLC under the Agreement during the twelve (12) month period prior to the cause of action, whichever is greater.

European Users

If I cause damage to you and you are a consumer in Europe, I limit my liability to the maximum amount permissible in your country of residence. Liability will be limited to foreseeable damages arising due to a breach of material contractual obligations typical for this type of contract. Cox of Donuts LLC isn’t liable for damages that result from a non-material breach of any other applicable duty of care. This limitation of liability will not apply to any statutory liability that cannot be limited, to liability for death or personal injury caused by my negligence, liability caused by my willful misconduct or gross negligence, or my responsibility for something I have specifically promised to you. You and I agree that I and my affiliates’ total liability is limited to the greater of $50 or the amount paid by you to use my Services during the 12 months preceding the claim; To the extent that my liability is limited or excluded, the limitations or exclusions will also apply to the personal liability of my employees, legal representatives, and vicarious agents.

14: Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Cox of Donuts LLC, its contractors, and its licensors, and their respective directors, officers, employees, and agents from and against any and all losses, liabilities, demands, damages, costs, claims, and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, arising out of or related to your use of my Services, including but not limited to your violation of the Agreement or any agreement with a provider of third-party services used in connection with the Services or applicable law and Content that you post.

15: US Economic Sanctions

You agree that my ability to provide my Services to you is subject to compliance with US sanctions that restrict or prohibit who or from where my Services can be accessed. By using the Services, you represent and warrant that you (i) are not located or residing in any country or territory subject to comprehensive US sanctions (currently Cuba, Crimea, Iran, North Korea, Donetsk People’s Republic, Luhansk People’s Republic, and Syria); (ii) are not listed on any United States list of prohibited or restricted parties, such as OFAC’s Specially Designated Nationals and Persons List, or otherwise subject to US sanctions that would prohibit your access to or use of my Services; and (iii) shall not use or allow access by any of your customers or potential customers (if applicable) to the Services in any manner that may cause Cox of Donuts LLC to violate US export controls and sanctions. I reserve the right to restrict or block your access to the Services and/or to terminate the Agreement at any time without notice if I determine, at my sole discretion, that such access may cause a violation or create unacceptable risk to me under export controls or sanctions.

16: Translation

These Terms were originally written in English (US). I may translate these terms into other languages, and in the event of a conflict between a translated version of these Terms and the English version, the English version will control.

17: Miscellaneous

The Agreement (together with any other terms I provide that apply to any specific Service) constitutes the entire agreement between Cox of Donuts LLC and you concerning my Services. If any part of the Agreement is unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that part is severable from the Agreement, and does not affect the validity or enforceability of the rest of the Agreement. A waiver by either party of any term or condition of the Agreement or any breach thereof, in any one instance, will not waive such term or condition or any subsequent breach thereof.

Cox of Donuts may assign its rights under the Agreement without condition. You may only assign your rights under the Agreement with my prior written consent.
