Thoolie
Terms & Conditions

1) Introduction

Welcome to Thoolie, LLC (“Thoolie,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). These Terms & Conditions (“Terms”) govern your use of: (a) our website (thoolie.com and subdomains), (b) our contract-generation tools and user portal, and (c) our free resources.

By using Thoolie, you agree to these Terms. If you don’t agree… we’re flattered you read the fine print, but you’ll need to close the tab.

2) Key Definitions (because clarity = fewer plot twists)

• Template: Thoolie’s pre-authored contract language, logic trees, boilerplate, clause banks, and structures.
• Generated Contract: The document produced from a Template after you answer our questionnaire (including any edits you make).
• Run: One generation of a specific Template for one specific deal or project. (Think “one matter.”)
• Counterparty: The person/entity expected to sign your Generated Contract.
• Professional Advisor: Your or the counterparty’s attorney, agent, accountant, insurer, financier, or similar professional assisting with the deal.
• User Content: Your inputs, names, deal terms, schedules, and any original text you add.
• Vault Subscriptions: A recurring monthly membership providing access to Thoolie’s Creator Vault and related features.

3) What Thoolie Provides

• Paid Contracts (one-time purchases). You buy access to generate one or more Runs of a specific Template. No subscriptions, no auto-renewals, no cliffhangers.
• Multi-Run Options. Some offerings include multiple Runs (up to twenty (20)). Each Run is tied to one deal. Unused Runs don’t roll over (like airline miles, but with fewer tears).
• Free Resources. Articles, guides, and checklists to help you think like a producer with a lawyer in your pocket (metaphorically). They’re informational, not legal advice.
• Subscriptions. Ongoing access to Thoolie’s Creator Vault and resources on a month-to-month basis.

4) Instant-Generation Forms and PDFs (Creator Vault / Free Tools)

For free or non-account tools — including form-based contract generators and Vault downloads — Thoolie operates a non-retention model:

• On-Demand Creation: PDFs are generated dynamically when a user submits a form and are provided for immediate download or email delivery.
• No Long-Term Storage: Generated documents are not permanently stored by Thoolie or transmitted to external processors. Temporary cached files may exist briefly for delivery purposes and are automatically overwritten.
• Limited Retention of Form Data: User-submitted form data (names, roles, compensation, etc.) is deleted from the Thoolie database on a recurring schedule, typically within seven (7) days of submission.
• No IP Retention: IP addresses and device identifiers are not stored, in accordance with Thoolie’s GDPR configuration.
• User Responsibility: Users are solely responsible for downloading and maintaining their own copies of any generated PDFs. Once deleted, Thoolie cannot retrieve prior entries or regenerate documents.

5) Creator Contracts (Studio & Pro Accounts)

For paid Creator Contract subscribers, Thoolie provides a secure, cloud-based environment for creating, storing, and managing contract templates.

• Storage Provider: Documents are securely hosted via Box.com, a third-party cloud storage platform that maintains SOC 2, ISO 27001, and GDPR compliance.
• User Access: Subscribers may access, organize, and download stored documents anytime through their Thoolie dashboard.
• Retention Period: Files remain available during an active subscription and may be retained for a limited administrative period after cancellation to facilitate export or reactivation.
• Confidentiality & Encryption: All documents are encrypted in transit and at rest. Thoolie and Box do not access or review contents except as necessary for maintenance, security, or legal compliance.
• User Control: Users may delete stored documents at any time. Deleted files are permanently purged from Box servers after the applicable enterprise deletion window.

6) Creator Vault Subscription

Thoolie offers a month-to-month subscription for Creator Vault access (“Vault Subscription”).

• Billing Provider: All payments are processed securely via Stripe, a PCI-DSS–compliant payment processor.
• Autopay: Subscribers may enable or disable autopay at their discretion within their account dashboard.
• Billing Cycle: Each plan renews monthly unless canceled before the next billing date.
• Account Access: Full account and billing history are viewable through the Thoolie user dashboard (desktop recommended for best experience).
• Cancellation: Users may cancel anytime. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period.
• Refunds: No refunds or prorations for partial months. Access continues through the paid period.
• Renewal: Renewal constitutes acceptance of then-current Terms & Conditions and pricing.
• Suspension/Termination: Thoolie reserves the right to suspend or terminate access for violation of these Terms or non-payment.

7) Legal Basis for Processing

Thoolie processes limited user data only as necessary to provide its services under Article 6(1)(b) GDPR (performance of a contract) and Article 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interests in maintaining site functionality and user access).

8) Important Relationship Note (Seriously, we’re not your lawyer)

Thoolie is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice. Your use of Thoolie does not create an attorney–client relationship. Need advice for your specific situation? Hire a licensed attorney in your jurisdiction. (Bonus points if they stock good snacks.)

9) Who Owns What (the “No Drama” clause)

• We own the Templates, logic trees, boilerplate, platform, and all associated IP.
• You own your User Content and—between you and your counterparty—the final executed agreement you negotiate and sign. Thoolie claims no rights in your executed deal.
• Generated Contracts may include both Thoolie Template text and your User Content. To the extent they include our Template text, they remain our copyrighted content; your rights to that portion are licensed (see Section 6).

10) Your License (what you can do—yes, including edits)

Subject to these Terms and your purchase, Thoolie grants you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to, for each Run you purchase:

1. Download, edit, and customize the Generated Contract (we expect redlines—this is film, after all).
2. Use, reproduce, and sign the Generated Contract for one specific deal/matter.
3. Share as needed for the deal: with the Counterparty and Professional Advisors, e-signature providers, insurers, financiers, film commissions, guilds/unions, and any platform/distributor that needs to see it to close or service the deal.
4. Store and reference your Generated Contract for recordkeeping, audits, enforcement, financing, distribution, and related business/legal purposes.
5. Litigate or defend using the Generated Contract. (Courtroom montages optional.)

(Plain English: You can download and edit to your heart’s content for your deal, share it with the folks who must see it, sign it, keep it, and enforce it. That’s the job.)

11) What’s Not Allowed (please don’t make us be the bad guy)

Unless we give you written permission, you may not:

• Resell, sublicense, publish, or redistribute Templates or Generated Contracts as a library, database, or product (no “Contractflix,” sorry).
• Use our Templates to serve unrelated third parties as a professional offering (e.g., selling contract drafting services) beyond a single named client and matter per Run. If you’re a professional purchasing for a client, each Run = one client, one matter.
• Post our Template text publicly (e.g., GitHub, public Google Drive, blogs, forums) or include it in any commercial course or resource bank.
• Train models or build generators: no using our content to train AI/LLMs, create competing tools, or benchmark for cloning.
• Remove proprietary notices or any document IDs/watermarks we may include.
• Scrape or harvest the platform, or access via bots not expressly authorized by us.

12) Free Resources License

Free resources are for personal/educational use. No republishing, selling, bundling, or using them as your own paid product. (We love a remix; we don’t love plagiarism.)

13) User Accounts & SecurityLicense

Keep your login safe. You’re responsible for activity under your account. Sharing your password with your entire production crew is a team-building exercise we cannot endorse.

14) Payments & Refunds (the money talk)

• One-time purchases only. Fees are due at checkout.
• All sales final. No refunds (including unused Runs), except where required by law. Even if your lead ghosts on day one—we feel your pain—but refunds aren’t part of the script.

15) Compliance Checks (light touch, promise))

We may ask you to confirm in writing that your use complies with these Terms. Failure to reasonably cooperate is a breach (cue stern producer look).

16) Termination (when we break up)

We may suspend or terminate your access (and licenses) if you:

• Breach these Terms, misuse content, or give us materially false info;
• Attempt to resell or publish our Templates;
• Scrape, reverse-engineer, or clone Thoolie; or
• Engage in fraud or conduct harmful to Thoolie.
• If terminated, your licenses end immediately and you must stop generating/using Templates for new Runs. (You may retain copies of already-executed agreements for recordkeeping and enforcement.)

17) Disclaimers & Limitation of Liability

• No warranty. Thoolie is provided “as is.” We don’t guarantee fitness for a particular purpose, uninterrupted availability, or compliance with every jurisdiction (Hollywood accounting is complicated; so is the law).
• Limitation. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Thoolie is not liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary, or punitive damages.
• Cap. If liability is found despite the above, our total liability is capped at the amount you paid for the specific Template/Run at issue. No back-end points, no box-office participation.

18) IP Protection & Injunctive Relief

Unauthorized use or distribution of our Templates causes irreparable harm. We may seek injunctive relief in addition to any other remedies (we prefer amicable resolutions; our lawyers insisted on this sentence).

19) Third-Party Content & Testimonials

Testimonials reflect real users’ honest opinions; results vary (not everyone gets into Sundance). Unless disclosed, we don’t pay for endorsements. Third-party posts/links are theirs, not ours; we don’t vouch for their accuracy.

20) Privacy

See our Privacy Policy for how we collect and use data. (Short version: we take it seriously; no, we don’t sell your deals to tabloids.)

21) Governing Law & Venue

These Terms are governed by California law. Exclusive venue: state or federal courts in Los Angeles County, California. (We hear the courthouse coffee is… fine.)

22) Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms occasionally. Updates appear here with a new “Last updated” date. Keep an eye out—it’s like a sequel with fewer CGI explosions.

23) Severability & Survival

If any provision is unenforceable, the rest stays in force. Sections that by their nature should survive (licenses for executed contracts, IP provisions, disclaimers, limitations, governing law) do survive.

24) Entire Agreement

These Terms are the entire agreement between you and Thoolie about the site, Templates, and Generated Contracts, and supersede prior understandings. This is the director’s cut.
