TariffWatch Terms of Service

1. Service description

TariffWatch (TariffWatch) is a data and workflow tool that estimates Section 232 tariff exposure from publicly available Federal Register, USITC, and CBP data, and helps you draft a public comment letter for submission to regulations.gov during an open comment window.

TariffWatch is a compliance advisory tool, NOT legal advice, NOT customs classification advice. TariffWatch is not a licensed customs broker under 19 CFR 111, not a filer of record, and not a law firm. Compliance decisions remain the responsibility of the importer and their customs broker or trade attorney. TariffWatch does not guarantee that any exposure estimate, classification, or comment letter will be accepted by CBP, BIS, or Commerce.

2. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• Submit a comment-letter request under a business name you are not authorized to represent (see the authorization attestation required at submission — this may also constitute fraud, defamation, or a false statement to a federal agency under 18 U.S.C. § 1001).
• Attempt to reverse-engineer, resell, or white-label the exposure-estimation engine.
• Use the service to build a competing tariff-compliance product.
• Abuse rate limits, attempt to bypass metering, or interfere with other customers' use of the service.
• Submit false, fraudulent, or misleading business or import information.

3. Subscription terms

TariffWatch is currently in a free, validation-stage phase: the Exposure Checker, watch-list signup, and comment-letter drafter carry no charge. This section is written now, ahead of any paid tier, so pricing can launch (targeted for a later milestone) without a Terms change catching existing users by surprise.

Once a paid tier launches: plans bill monthly or annually from your signup date, in advance. You may cancel anytime from your account settings; cancellation stops future billing and you keep access through the end of the current paid period. We will email active subscribers at least 30 days before any price increase takes effect on their plan.

4. Refund policy

This is the refund policy that will govern TariffWatch paid subscriptions once they launch (per the Aug 3 2026 approved variance, mirroring PixelProof’s policy):

• Monthly plans: cancel within 30 days of a charge for a full refund of that charge, no questions asked, one refund per account/lifetime.
• Annual plans: a 60-day, pro-rated money-back window from the date of the annual charge. The refund is pro-rated to the unused portion of the annual term (days remaining ÷ 365, applied to the amount paid), not a flat partial amount.

5. Limitation of liability

TariffWatch is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind, express or implied. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Digital Empire Holdings LLC is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, tariff overpayment, or penalties arising from an exposure estimate, comment letter, or import decision. Our total liability for any claim relating to the service is capped at the greater of $100 or the amount you paid us in the 3 months preceding the claim.

6. Data ownership

You retain all ownership rights to the HTS codes, business information, and comment-letter context you submit to TariffWatch. We use it solely to provide the service to you and do not sell it. Note: if you submit a comment letter to regulations.gov, the business name, email, HTS codes, and estimated customs value in that letter become part of the public federal docket — that publication is governed by regulations.gov, not by TariffWatch. See our Privacy Policy for full detail on collection, retention, and your deletion rights.

7. Our intellectual property

Digital Empire Holdings LLC retains all right, title, and interest in the TariffWatch software, exposure-estimation engine, comment-letter drafting workflow, brand, and all related intellectual property. Nothing in these Terms transfers any of that IP to you; you receive only a limited, revocable right to use the service as intended.

8. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Wyoming, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.

9. Dispute resolution

Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the service will be resolved by binding individual arbitration under the rules of the American Arbitration Association, rather than in court, except that either party may bring an individual claim in small-claims court if it qualifies. YOU AND Digital Empire Holdings LLC EACH WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION, CLASS ARBITRATION, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Arbitration will take place in Wyoming or another mutually agreed location, or may be conducted remotely by written submission or videoconference where the arbitrator permits.

10. Sub-processors

TariffWatch uses the following sub-processors to operate the service (in addition, comment-letter drafting is assisted by a Claude/Sonnet reasoning process operated by Anthropic — see our Privacy Policy):

• Supabase (database hosting)
• Stripe (payment processing, once paid tiers launch)
• Resend (transactional email delivery)
• Vercel (application hosting)
• PostHog (product analytics)
• Sentry (error monitoring)

11. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be emailed to active users at least 30 days before taking effect. Continued use of the service after that date constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
