Terms of service

These terms cover hotrodmyai.com, the Hot Rod My AI newsletter, membership and every skill file we provide, including the Hot Rod Setup (together, the “Service”). The Service is run by CS Digital Media, LLC, a Texas limited liability company, 15814 Champions Forest Dr. #105, Spring, TX 77379 (“we,” “us”). By using the Service you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, please don't use it.

1. What the Service is

Hot Rod My AI is an independent newsletter and a library of skill files: plain-text instructions you can upload to Claude, an AI assistant made by Anthropic, PBC. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by Anthropic. Claude and its features are provided by Anthropic under Anthropic's own terms, and they can change at any time without notice to us.

2. What is ours

The newsletter, the skill files, the horsepower test, the website, its design, text and software, and the way we select, organize and write all of it belong to CS Digital Media, LLC and are protected by copyright and other laws. News we report on belongs to its publishers; we link to them.

3. Your license to the skills

We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to download the skill files you're entitled to, install them in your own Claude account, change them for your own use, and use them in your own business or personal work. You may share the results Claude produces with them. You may not:

• resell, sublicense, rent or give away the skill files, or post them publicly (for example on GitHub, a forum, a marketplace or a shared drive);
• share your membership or sign-in links with anyone else, or install member skills in other people's accounts;
• repackage the skills or the newsletter into a competing product or course;
• remove the version and source header from a skill file you distribute inside your own organization.

4. No scraping or bulk copying

You may not use bots, scrapers, crawlers, headless browsers or scripts to copy the Service in bulk, including by calling our APIs or download links directly; get around our limits with multiple accounts, addresses or proxies; use the Service to build datasets or to train or tune AI models; or frame, probe, overload or reverse engineer the Service. Search engines and AI assistants that identify themselves and follow our robots.txt are welcome to index public pages for search and answers, but not to keep our content as a dataset. Anything beyond that needs our written permission.

5. Limits and monitoring

We limit how fast and how much any one visitor or account can load or download, and we keep logs to enforce these terms. We may slow, block or suspend access that looks automated or abusive, without notice and without a refund.

6. Accounts and email

You must be at least 18 to join. Membership is for one person. You sign in with links we email you, so keep your email account secure; anyone who can open your email can open your garage. You can unsubscribe from the newsletter with one click in any email.

7. Membership, billing and cancellation

Membership costs the price shown on our pricing page at the time you join, currently $5 a month or $49 a year, plus any tax required by law. Payments are processed by Stripe; we never see or store your card number. Membership renews automatically at the end of each month or year until you cancel. You can cancel any time from the members' area (“Manage billing”). Cancellation takes effect at the end of the period you've paid for, and you keep access until then. Because skill files are delivered instantly, payments are not refundable, except for billing errors such as a duplicate charge, which we'll fix. If we change the price, we'll email you at least 30 days before your next renewal, and you can cancel before it applies.

8. AI output and your responsibility

Skills give Claude instructions. Claude, not us, produces the output, and AI output can be wrong, incomplete, out of date or inappropriate for your situation. Check anything important before you rely on it, publish it or send it, especially numbers, legal, tax, medical, financial or safety matters. Nothing in the newsletter or the skills is legal, tax, financial, medical or other professional advice. You are responsible for what you ask Claude to do, for the accounts and apps you connect to it, and for anything you send, publish or buy using it.

9. Provided “as is”

The Service is provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. We don't promise that the Service or any skill will work with every version of Claude, be error-free or be available at any particular time.

10. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for lost profits, data or business, arising from the Service or from anything Claude does with our skills. Our total liability for any claim is limited to the greater of $100 or the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim.

11. Indemnity

You agree to defend and indemnify CS Digital Media, LLC against claims, losses and costs (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from your misuse of the Service or your breach of these terms.

12. Enforcement

Copying or redistributing our skills, or scraping the Service, causes us irreparable harm, and we may seek an injunction in addition to any other remedy. If we win, you agree to pay our reasonable attorneys' fees. We may report abuse to network providers. Unauthorized access may also violate the federal Computer Fraud and Abuse Act and Chapter 33 of the Texas Penal Code.

13. Ending access

You can stop using the Service at any time. We may suspend or end your access if you break these terms. Sections 2, 4 and 8 through 15 survive.

14. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute will be decided in the state or federal courts located in Harris County, Texas, and you agree to their jurisdiction.

15. Changes and the rest

We may update these terms. If a change is significant, we'll email members before it takes effect. If any part of these terms can't be enforced, the rest still applies. Not enforcing a term isn't a waiver of it. These terms and our privacy policy are the whole agreement between us about the Service.
