8. Assumption of Risk and Release of Liability

THIS SECTION CONTAINS A RELEASE OF LIABILITY. PLEASE READ IT CAREFULLY.

8.1 Voluntary Participation and Assumption of Risk

By purchasing, accessing, reading, listening to, viewing, or applying any information contained in any publication, course, protocol, exercise, assessment, or other material provided through the Services, you acknowledge that you are voluntarily choosing to engage with the Services and that you understand and assume all risks associated with such engagement. You acknowledge that certain Services, including but not limited to the protocols and exercises described in The Black Book of Power and companion publications, are designed to produce neurological disruption, surface suppressed emotional material, interrupt deeply embedded behavioral patterns, and dissolve established identity structures. You further acknowledge that these processes carry inherent risks, including but not limited to psychological discomfort, emotional distress, and the other effects described in Section 9 (Mental Health Warning) of these Terms.

8.2 Release of Liability

You hereby release, waive, discharge, and covenant not to sue the Company, its owners, officers, directors, employees, agents, independent contractors, service providers, consultants, licensors, successors, and assigns (collectively, the "Released Parties") from any and all liability, claims, demands, actions, and causes of action whatsoever arising out of or related to any loss, damage, injury, or harm—whether psychological, emotional, physical, financial, relational, reputational, or otherwise—sustained by you or any third party as a result of your engagement with, interpretation of, or application of any information, content, protocol, exercise, assessment, technique, framework, or material provided through the Services, including but not limited to content shared in Community Forums.

8.3 Waiver of Unknown Claims

You expressly waive any and all rights and benefits conferred upon you by the provisions of Section 1542 of the California Civil Code (and any similar law of any state, jurisdiction, or territory), which provides: "A general release does not extend to claims that the creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release and that, if known by him or her, would have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor or released party." You acknowledge that you may hereafter discover claims presently unknown or unsuspected, and you agree that the releases set forth in this Section 8 shall remain effective in all respects notwithstanding any such discovery.

8.4 Legal and Ethical Responsibility

The techniques, frameworks, protocols, and other content described in the Services are presented for entertainment and educational purposes. They are not instructions, directives, or encouragements to engage in any unlawful, harmful, or unethical conduct. The Company expressly condemns the use of any material in its publications or Services for purposes that violate applicable laws, professional codes of conduct, or the dignity and autonomy of other human beings.

You are solely responsible for ensuring that any application of concepts from the Services complies with all applicable federal, state, local, and international laws and regulations, including but not limited to laws governing fraud, harassment, privacy, employment, consumer protection, professional licensing, data protection, fiduciary duty, and securities.

If you are a licensed professional (including but not limited to physicians, attorneys, therapists, counselors, educators, financial advisors, and law enforcement), you are solely responsible for ensuring that your application of any material from the Services complies with the ethical standards, codes of conduct, and regulatory requirements governing your profession. The Services do not override, supersede, or modify any professional obligation you hold.

8.5 Mandatory Reporting and Professional Obligations

Nothing in the Services or these Terms overrides any legal obligation you may hold, including mandatory reporting requirements related to abuse, neglect, threats of harm, or other conditions requiring disclosure under applicable law. If you hold such obligations, they remain in full force regardless of any framework or perspective presented in the Services.

9. Mental Health Warning

THIS SECTION CONTAINS IMPORTANT WARNINGS REGARDING THE PSYCHOLOGICAL AND NEUROLOGICAL EFFECTS OF CERTAIN SERVICES. BY CONTINUING TO USE THE SERVICES, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE READ, UNDERSTOOD, AND ACCEPTED THE RISKS DESCRIBED HEREIN.

9.1 Nature of the Protocols

Certain Services, including but not limited to the exercises and protocols described in The Black Book of Power (particularly in Part II, Chapters 4, 5, and 6, and in any companion works or supplementary materials), are specifically designed to produce neurological disruption and reorganization. These protocols are engineered to surface suppressed emotional material, interrupt deeply embedded behavioral patterns, and dissolve identity structures that your nervous system may have maintained for extended periods. Readers and participants consistently report the following effects, which are expected and are evidence of the neurological processes at work:

• Headaches and acute fatigue

• Vivid or disturbing dreams

• Unexpected emotional responses, including crying and anxiety spikes

• Disorientation and cognitive disruption

• Somatic identity diffusion (a phenomenon in which the body temporarily feels unfamiliar)

• Other psychological, emotional, and physical responses related to neural reorganization

These effects are inherent to the design and function of the protocols and are not signs of damage or malfunction. However, they do represent real neurological and psychological processes that carry risk.

9.2 The Services Are Not Therapy or Medical Treatment

The Services are not therapy, psychiatric care, medical treatment, or a substitute for any form of professional mental health intervention. The author is not a licensed therapist, psychologist, psychiatrist, or medical professional. Nothing in the Services constitutes a therapeutic relationship, diagnosis, treatment plan, or clinical intervention. The frameworks presented are drawn from neuroscience, social psychology, and behavioral research and are provided for entertainment and educational purposes only.

9.3 If You Are Currently in Therapy

If you are currently receiving therapy or mental health treatment, you are strongly encouraged to inform your therapist or mental health provider that you are engaging with the Services and to share the specific exercises and protocols with them. The protocols and therapy are not inherently in conflict; however, professional clinical oversight may be beneficial as suppressed material surfaces.

9.4 If You Have a History of Trauma, PTSD, or Complex PTSD

The protocols will likely activate traumatic material. This is inherent to the process. Certain exercises, particularly those involving controlled deprivation and identity dissolution, can trigger trauma responses in individuals with abuse histories, combat exposure, or prolonged stress disorders. You are not required to complete any protocol at maximum intensity, but you are required to exercise honest self-assessment regarding what surfaces. If a protocol activates material that exceeds your capacity to process safely, you should immediately pause the protocol and seek professional support before continuing.

9.5 If You Are in Crisis

If you are experiencing active suicidal ideation, psychosis, severe dissociation, or are in psychiatric crisis, you should not engage with these protocols until you have stabilized. These protocols require a baseline level of psychological stability to execute safely. They are designed to disrupt patterns, not to shatter a foundation that is already compromised. Seek immediate professional help. In the United States, contact the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline (call or text 988), the Crisis Text Line (text HOME to 741741), or go to your nearest emergency room. Stabilize first.

9.6 Distinguishing Productive Discomfort from Psychological Emergency

The most common experiences during protocol execution are discomfort, resistance, fatigue, and a desire to quit. These are expected responses and generally indicate that the protocol is functioning as designed. However, the distinction between productive discomfort and genuine psychological emergency is critical:

• Productive discomfort: wanting to stop because the exercise is challenging, experiencing emotional resistance, feeling tired or frustrated. This is a normal part of the process.

• Psychological emergency: losing contact with reality, experiencing uncontrollable flashbacks, feeling unable to keep yourself safe, or experiencing persistent dissociation. This requires immediate professional intervention.

If you are unsure which experience you are having, err on the side of caution and contact a licensed professional.

9.7 When to Seek Professional Support

You should seek professional mental health support immediately if you experience any of the following during or after engaging with any protocol:

• Persistent dissociation lasting more than twenty-four (24) hours after completing an exercise

• Flashbacks or intrusive memories that interfere with daily functioning

• Inability to sleep for more than two consecutive nights

• Panic attacks that do not subside with breathing exercises

• Thoughts of self-harm or harming others

• A sense that you have lost your ability to distinguish between the protocol’s framework and objective reality

These responses indicate that the Services have surfaced material that requires professional clinical support to integrate safely.

9.8 Community Forums and Crisis Support

The Company’s email support line (hello@stantaylor.com) and Community Forums exist for general protocol guidance and peer discussion. They are not crisis services. If you are in crisis, contact a licensed mental health professional or emergency services immediately. Do not rely on Community Forums or Company email support for crisis intervention.

9.9 Your Responsibility

By engaging with the Services and executing any protocols or exercises described therein, you accept full responsibility for your psychological wellbeing, your decision to engage with the material, your self-assessment of your psychological readiness to do so, and your judgment regarding when to seek professional support. The Company, its owners, officers, employees, agents, and affiliated parties assume no liability for psychological, emotional, physical, relational, or any other outcomes resulting from your engagement with or application of any techniques, protocols, exercises, or frameworks described in the Services.

10. Confidential Information; Non-Disclosure

You acknowledge that certain content, videos, protocols, exercises, assessments, and other materials on or made available via the Services constitute the Confidential Information of Company.

The duties and requirements under this section shall survive termination of these Terms.

You hereby agree that any unauthorized disclosure of Company’s Confidential Information may cause immediate and irreparable injury to Company and that, in the event of such breach, Company will be entitled, in addition to any other available remedies, to immediate injunctive and other equitable relief, without bond and without the necessity of showing actual monetary damages.

22. Arbitration

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING SECTION CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT REQUIRES YOU TO ARBITRATE DISPUTES WITH COMPANY AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM COMPANY.

22.1 Binding Arbitration

Except for any disputes, claims, suits, actions, causes of action, demands, or proceedings (collectively, "Disputes") arising out of or related to a violation of Section 13 or Disputes in which either party seeks to bring an individual action in small claims court or seeks injunctive or other equitable relief for the alleged unlawful use of intellectual property, including, without limitation, copyrights, trademarks, trade names, logos, trade secrets, or patents, you and Company agree (a) to waive your and Company’s respective rights to have any and all Disputes arising from or related to these Terms or the Services resolved in a court, and (b) to waive your and Company’s respective rights to a jury trial. Instead, you and Company agree to arbitrate Disputes through binding arbitration (which is the referral of a Dispute to one or more persons charged with reviewing the Dispute and making a final and binding determination to resolve it instead of having the Dispute decided by a judge or jury in court).

22.2 No Class Arbitrations, Class Actions, or Representative Actions

You and Company agree that any Dispute arising out of or related to these Terms or the Services is personal to you and Company and that such Dispute will be resolved solely through individual arbitration and will not be brought as a class arbitration, class action, or any other type of representative proceeding. You and Company agree that there will be no class arbitration or arbitration in which an individual attempts to resolve a Dispute as a representative of another individual or group of individuals. Further, you and Company agree that a Dispute cannot be brought as a class or other type of representative action, whether within or outside of arbitration, or on behalf of any other individual or group of individuals.

22.3 Federal Arbitration Act

You and Company agree that these Terms affect interstate commerce and that the enforceability of this Section 22 shall be both substantively and procedurally governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq. (the "FAA"), to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.

22.4 Notice; Informal Dispute Resolution

You and Company agree that each party will notify the other party in writing of any arbitrable or small claims Dispute within thirty (30) days of the date it arises so that the parties can attempt in good faith to resolve the Dispute informally. Notice to Company shall be sent by email to hello@stantaylor.com. Your notice must include (a) your name, postal address, telephone number, the email address you use or used for your Company account, and, if different, an email address at which you can be contacted; (b) a description in reasonable detail of the nature or basis of the Dispute; and (c) the specific relief that you are seeking. Our notice to you will be sent electronically and will include (x) our name, postal address, telephone number, and an email address at which we can be contacted with respect to the Dispute; (y) a description in reasonable detail of the nature or basis of the Dispute; and (z) the specific relief that we are seeking. If you and Company cannot agree how to resolve the Dispute within thirty (30) days after the date notice is received by the applicable party, then either you or Company may, as appropriate and in accordance with this Section 22, commence an arbitration proceeding.

22.5 Process

Except for Disputes arising out of or related to a violation of Section 13 or Disputes in which either party seeks to bring an individual action in small claims court or seeks injunctive or other equitable relief for the alleged unlawful use of intellectual property, including, without limitation, copyrights, trademarks, trade names, logos, trade secrets, or patents, you and Company agree that any Dispute must be commenced or filed by you or Company within one (1) year of the date the Dispute arose; otherwise the underlying claim is permanently barred (which means that you and Company will no longer have the right to assert such claim regarding the Dispute). You and Company agree that (a) any arbitration will occur in Laramie County, Wyoming; (b) arbitration will be conducted confidentially by a single arbitrator in accordance with the rules of the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services ("JAMS"), which are hereby incorporated by reference; and (c) that the state or federal courts of the State of Wyoming and the United States, respectively, sitting in Laramie County, Wyoming, have exclusive jurisdiction over any appeals and the enforcement of an arbitration award. You may also litigate a Dispute in the small claims court located in the county of your billing address if the Dispute meets the requirements to be heard in small claims court.

22.6 Authority of Arbitrator

As limited by the FAA, these Terms, and the applicable JAMS rules, the arbitrator will have (a) the exclusive authority and jurisdiction to make all procedural and substantive decisions regarding a Dispute, including the determination of whether a Dispute is arbitrable, and (b) the authority to grant any remedy that would otherwise be available in court; provided, however, that the arbitrator does not have the authority to conduct a class arbitration or a representative action, which is prohibited by these Terms. The arbitrator may only conduct an individual arbitration and may not consolidate more than one individual’s claims, preside over any type of class or representative proceeding, or preside over any proceeding involving more than one individual.

22.7 Rules of JAMS

The rules of JAMS and additional information about JAMS are available on the JAMS website. By agreeing to be bound by these Terms, you either (a) acknowledge and agree that you have read and understand the rules of JAMS, or (b) waive your opportunity to read the rules of JAMS and any claim that the rules of JAMS are unfair or should not apply for any reason.

22.8 Severability of Arbitration Provisions

If any term, clause, or provision of this Section 22 is held invalid or unenforceable, it will be so held to the minimum extent required by law, and all other terms, clauses, and provisions of this Section 22 will remain valid and enforceable. Further, the waivers set forth in Section 22.2 are severable from the other provisions of these Terms and will remain valid and enforceable, except as prohibited by applicable law.

22.9 Opt-Out Right

You have the right to opt out of binding arbitration within thirty (30) days of the date you first accepted the terms of this Section 22 by writing to hello@stantaylor.com. In order to be effective, the opt-out notice must include your full name and clearly indicate your intent to opt out of binding arbitration. By opting out of binding arbitration, you are agreeing to resolve Disputes in accordance with Section 23.

23. Governing Law; Forum

Except as otherwise provided in these Terms, any dispute between the parties regarding the subject matter of these Terms will be governed by these Terms and the laws of the State of Wyoming and applicable United States law, without giving effect to any conflict of laws principles that may provide for the application of the law of another jurisdiction. You and Company agree that any action at law or in equity arising out of or relating to any actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of a party’s copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property, or relating to these Terms, shall be filed only in the state and federal courts located in Laramie County, Wyoming (except for small claims disputes, which may be filed in the jurisdiction in which you reside), and you hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consent and submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts over any suit, action, or proceeding arising out of these Terms.

24. Severability

If any provision of these Terms shall be deemed unlawful, void, or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision shall be deemed severable from these Terms and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions. The remaining provisions shall be construed to give maximum effect to the intent of the parties as reflected in these Terms.

25. Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any Refund Policy referenced herein, constitute the entire agreement between you and the Company with respect to the Services and supersede all prior or contemporaneous understandings and agreements, whether written or oral, with respect to the Services. No waiver of any provision of these Terms shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such provision or any other provision.

26. Survival

The following Sections shall survive any termination of these Terms or your use of the Services: Section 2 (Nature of Services; No Professional Relationship), Section 7 (Intellectual Property), Section 8 (Assumption of Risk and Release of Liability), Section 9 (Mental Health Warning), Section 10 (Confidential Information), Section 12 (Feedback), Section 16 (Disclaimer of Warranties), Section 17 (Indemnification), Section 18 (Limitation of Liability), Section 22 (Arbitration), Section 23 (Governing Law; Forum), and this Section 26.
