The fine print

Terms of Service

Effective Date: [DATE]. Last Updated: [DATE]. Template draft. Pending legal review.

1. Acceptance of Terms

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the Hunter's Edge website at huntersedge.io (the "Site"), The Drop newsletter, The Vault membership, the Deal Engine, and all related services (collectively, the "Services"). The Services are provided by [LEGAL ENTITY NAME], [STREET ADDRESS], [CITY], [STATE] [ZIP] ("Hunter's Edge," "EDGE," "we," "us," or "our").

By accessing or using the Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the Services.

We may update these Terms at any time. Changes take effect upon posting to the Site. Your continued use of the Services after any change constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms. We will make reasonable efforts to notify active subscribers of material changes via email or on-site notice.

2. Description of Services

Hunter's Edge provides curated outdoor content, discount codes, and a membership community for hunters and anglers. The Services are organized into three layers:

2A. The Drop (Free)

The Drop is a free weekly newsletter delivered by email. It includes curated links to third-party hunting and fishing content, editorial commentary, and selected discount codes from the Deal Engine. The Drop is free and requires only an email address to subscribe. Subscribers may unsubscribe at any time.

2B. The Deal Engine

The Deal Engine is a collection of discount codes, early-access offers, and promotional pricing from outdoor brands. Deal Engine codes appear at two levels:

• Public codes are available to all Drop subscribers at no cost.
• Vault-exclusive codes are available only to active Vault Members as part of their membership.

Discount codes are sourced from third-party brand partners. Hunter's Edge does not control partner inventory, pricing, product availability, or fulfillment. Codes are subject to partner terms and may be modified, limited, or withdrawn by partners at any time without notice. Hunter's Edge does not guarantee the availability, accuracy, or value of any code.

Savings figures referenced on the Site and in marketing materials (e.g., "$247 estimated monthly member savings") are estimates based on the published depth of partner codes and typical member purchasing patterns, and are provided for illustrative purposes only. They do not represent measured or guaranteed results. Individual savings vary based on purchasing behavior, code usage, and partner availability.

Savings Guarantee. If a Vault Member's Documented Code Savings during their first twelve (12) months of continuous paid membership (the "Guarantee Period", beginning on the date of the first paid charge) are less than the total membership fees actually paid for that period, Hunter's Edge will refund the difference. The following terms apply:

• Documented Code Savings means the aggregate savings from Deal Engine code redemptions attributed to the Member's account as tracked by Hunter's Edge, plus any additional savings the Member documents with order confirmations or receipts showing a Hunter's Edge code was applied.
• Claim procedure: email help@huntersedge.io within sixty (60) days after the end of the Guarantee Period. One claim per Member. Verified refunds are issued to the original payment method within thirty (30) days of verification.
• Fee benchmark: for Monthly and Annual memberships, the membership fees actually paid during the Guarantee Period. For Lifetime memberships, the benchmark is [PLACEHOLDER: the Annual rate in effect at purchase, or the full Lifetime price — business decision, counsel to confirm; marketing copy currently reads "what you paid"].
• Exclusions: free, promotional, or gifted periods do not count as fees paid; the value of Sweepstakes prizes and entries is excluded from both sides of the calculation; accounts terminated for cause under Section 15B are ineligible; fraudulent or manufactured redemption activity voids the guarantee.
• The Savings Guarantee is in addition to, and does not shorten or replace, the 30-day money-back guarantee in Section 5D.

2C. The Vault (Paid Membership)

The Vault is a paid membership that provides:

• Access to all Vault-exclusive Deal Engine codes.
• Automatic entry in all Monthly Gear Draws and Quarterly Experience Draws (the "Sweepstakes").
• Draw-day livestream access.
• Community membership and related features as described on the Site.

The Vault membership is a subscription to a content and deals platform. The Sweepstakes are a complimentary benefit of active membership, not the primary service purchased. No purchase is necessary to enter any Sweepstakes. See the Official Sweepstakes Rules at huntersedge.io/giveaway-rules for complete details, including free entry instructions.

3. Eligibility

You must be at least eighteen (18) years of age and a legal resident of the United States to use the Services. By using the Services, you represent and warrant that you meet these requirements.

4. Account Registration

To subscribe to The Drop, you must provide a valid email address. To join The Vault, you must complete the purchase process, which requires a valid email address and payment information.

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. You agree to notify us immediately of any unauthorized use of your account.

5. Vault Membership and Billing

5A. Pricing and Plans

The Vault is available in three payment structures:

• Monthly: $7.99 per month, billed monthly. Cancel anytime.
• Annual: $59 per year, billed annually. Price locked at the rate in effect at the time of purchase for the duration of continuous membership.
• Lifetime: $495, one-time payment. No recurring billing.

Prices are in U.S. dollars and are subject to change. Price changes do not apply retroactively to active subscriptions at a locked rate.

5B. Billing

All payments are processed by Stripe, Inc. ("Stripe"). By subscribing, you authorize us (through Stripe) to charge your selected payment method at the applicable rate and frequency. You agree to maintain valid payment information for the duration of your subscription.

Subscription payments are non-refundable except as expressly provided in Section 5D.

5C. Renewal

Monthly and Annual subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each billing period unless canceled before the renewal date. You will receive a renewal confirmation at the email address on file.

5D. Cancellation and Refunds

You may cancel your Vault Monthly or Annual subscription at any time through the billing portal accessible at huntersedge.io or by contacting help@huntersedge.io. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period. You retain access to Vault benefits through the end of the period you have already paid for.

Upon cancellation:

• Your Vault-exclusive Deal Engine access ends.
• Your Sweepstakes entry counter resets to zero, reflecting the cessation of your membership benefit.
• Your Drop subscription continues at no cost.
• Any entries submitted for completed drawings and any prizes already awarded are not affected.

30-Day Money-Back Guarantee. If you are not satisfied with your Vault membership, you may request a full refund of your initial purchase (Monthly, Annual, or Lifetime) within thirty (30) days of that purchase by contacting help@huntersedge.io. Limit one refund under this guarantee per Member. Members who have been selected as a Sweepstakes winner during the 30-day window are not eligible for a refund under this guarantee. Use of Deal Engine codes during the window does not affect eligibility.

Outside the 30-day guarantee window, refunds are not provided for partial billing periods, and Lifetime memberships are non-refundable except as provided under the Savings Guarantee (Section 2B) or Section 16B (Discontinuation).

5E. Membership Tiers Are Identical in Access

All Vault Members, regardless of payment structure (Monthly, Annual, or Lifetime), receive the same level of access to all Vault benefits, including the same Deal Engine codes, the same Sweepstakes eligibility, and the same base entry allotment. Payment structure does not affect membership access, features, or odds of winning.

5F. Founding Member Designation

Vault Members whose first paid membership begins on or before October 26, 2026 at 7:00 PM ET (the close of the Founding Draw) receive a Founding Member designation and a sequential Founding Member number, assigned in order of joining. The designation and number:

• Are a recognition of early membership only. They confer no additional Sweepstakes entries, no different odds of winning, and no different membership access (see Section 5E).
• Are personal to the Member's account, are not transferable, and may not be sold or assigned. They do not represent any ownership, equity, or financial interest in Hunter's Edge.
• Are assigned once and not reused. If a Founding Member's membership lapses, the number is not reassigned to another Member; any founding-specific benefits offered in the future may require an active membership.
• May appear, with the Member's first name, on public features such as the referral leaderboard at huntersedge.io/leaderboard.

6. Sweepstakes

The Vault includes automatic entry in recurring Sweepstakes as a complimentary membership benefit. All Sweepstakes are governed by the Official Sweepstakes Rules available at huntersedge.io/giveaway-rules, which are incorporated herein by reference.

No purchase or payment is necessary to enter or win any Sweepstakes. Free entry is available at huntersedge.io/enter-free. The Sweepstakes are separate from the membership purchase. Membership fees pay for content access, Deal Engine codes, community membership, and related benefits. They do not pay for Sweepstakes entries.

7. The Drop Newsletter

By subscribing to The Drop, you consent to receive weekly emails and occasional supplementary communications from Hunter's Edge. You may unsubscribe at any time using the unsubscribe link in any email. Unsubscribing from The Drop does not cancel a Vault membership or affect Vault benefits.

8. Third-Party Content and Links

The Drop and other Services contain links to third-party websites, articles, products, and services. Hunter's Edge does not control, endorse, or assume responsibility for any third-party content, products, or services. Your interactions with third-party sites and brands are solely between you and the third party. We encourage you to review the terms and privacy policies of any third-party site you visit.

Discount codes sourced through the Deal Engine are offered by third-party brand partners. Hunter's Edge is not responsible for partner fulfillment, product quality, shipping, returns, or customer service. Any issues with a purchase made using a Deal Engine code should be directed to the relevant brand partner.

9. Intellectual Property

All content on the Site, including text, design, graphics, logos, the Hunter's Edge name and mark, and the arrangement thereof, is the property of Hunter's Edge or its licensors and is protected by United States copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws.

You may not reproduce, distribute, modify, create derivative works of, publicly display, or otherwise use any Site content without our prior written consent, except that you may share links to the Site and to individual Drop issues for non-commercial purposes.

"Hunter's Edge," "EDGE," "The Drop," "The Deal Engine," and "The Vault" are trademarks of [LEGAL ENTITY NAME]. Use of these marks without written permission is prohibited.

10. User Conduct

You agree not to:

• Use the Services for any unlawful purpose.
• Submit false or misleading information in connection with any entry, registration, or account.
• Use automated means (bots, scripts, scrapers) to access the Services, submit entries, or collect data.
• Attempt to interfere with or disrupt the operation of the Services or any server, network, or system connected to the Services.
• Resell, redistribute, or commercially exploit Deal Engine codes or Vault-exclusive content.
• Impersonate any person or entity, or misrepresent your affiliation with any person or entity.

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your access to the Services at any time for violation of these Terms or for any conduct that we determine, in our sole discretion, to be harmful to other users, to us, or to third parties.

11. Disclaimers

THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, HUNTER'S EDGE DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR FREE OF VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS. WE DO NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY, RELIABILITY, OR COMPLETENESS OF ANY CONTENT PROVIDED THROUGH THE SERVICES, INCLUDING THIRD-PARTY CONTENT, DEAL ENGINE CODES, OR SAVINGS ESTIMATES.

HUNTING AND FISHING INVOLVE INHERENT RISKS. ANY INFORMATION PROVIDED THROUGH THE SERVICES, INCLUDING EDITORIAL CONTENT, TACTICS, AND EQUIPMENT RECOMMENDATIONS, IS FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY AND DOES NOT CONSTITUTE PROFESSIONAL ADVICE. YOU ASSUME ALL RISK ASSOCIATED WITH YOUR OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES.

12. Limitation of Liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL HUNTER'S EDGE, ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, OR AFFILIATES BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, OR GOODWILL, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICES, WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICES SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU HAVE PAID TO US IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM, OR (B) ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($100).

SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF CERTAIN DAMAGES. IN SUCH JURISDICTIONS, OUR LIABILITY IS LIMITED TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.

13. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Hunter's Edge, its officers, directors, employees, agents, and affiliates from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or relating to: (a) your use of the Services; (b) your violation of these Terms; (c) your violation of any rights of any third party; or (d) any content you submit through the Services.

14. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of [STATE], without regard to its conflict of laws provisions.

Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services shall be resolved by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under its Consumer Arbitration Rules. Arbitration shall be conducted in [CITY], [STATE], or at another mutually agreed location. The arbitrator's decision shall be final and binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.

YOU AND HUNTER'S EDGE AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEEDINGS WILL BE CONDUCTED ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT IN A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than arbitration, you and Hunter's Edge each waive any right to a jury trial.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of intellectual property rights.

15. Termination

15A. Termination by You

You may cancel your Vault membership at any time as described in Section 5D. You may stop using the Services at any time. Cancellation of The Drop requires only an unsubscribe action.

15B. Termination by Us for Cause

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Services immediately and without prior notice if you violate these Terms, engage in fraudulent activity, abuse the Sweepstakes entry process, or engage in conduct that we determine, in our sole discretion, to be harmful to other users, to us, or to third parties. In such cases, no refund is owed.

15C. Termination by Us Without Cause

We reserve the right to terminate any individual membership at any time and for any reason by providing notice to the email address on file. In such cases:

• Monthly members will retain access through the end of the current paid billing period. No further charges will be applied.
• Annual members will receive a prorated refund for the unused portion of their current annual term, calculated from the effective date of termination to the end of the paid period.
• Lifetime members will receive no monetary refund (see Section 16B for Lifetime-specific terms), but will retain access through a reasonable wind-down period of no less than thirty (30) days from the date of notice.

Upon any termination by us, your Sweepstakes entry counter resets and your access to Vault-exclusive Deal Engine codes ends, consistent with the cessation of membership. Entries already submitted for completed drawings and prizes already awarded are not affected.

16. Discontinuation of Services

16A. Right to Discontinue

Hunter's Edge reserves the right to modify, suspend, or permanently discontinue any or all of the Services, in whole or in part, at any time, with or without notice. This includes the right to discontinue The Drop newsletter, The Vault membership program, the Deal Engine, the Sweepstakes, the Site, or any feature of the Services.

If we permanently discontinue The Vault, we will make commercially reasonable efforts to provide at least thirty (30) days' advance notice to active members by email.

16B. Effect on Prepaid Memberships

In the event of a permanent discontinuation of The Vault:

• Monthly members will retain access through the end of the current paid billing period. No further charges will be applied. No refund is owed for the current period.
• Annual members will receive a prorated refund for the unused portion of their current annual term, calculated on a monthly basis from the date of discontinuation to the end of the paid period.
• Lifetime members acknowledge that the Lifetime membership is a one-time purchase that provides access to the Services for the duration of the Services' availability. The Lifetime membership does not guarantee that the Services will be offered for any minimum period or in perpetuity. In the event of permanent discontinuation, Lifetime members will receive no monetary refund but will retain access through the end of the wind-down period. Lifetime members accept this condition as a material term of the Lifetime purchase.

No member, regardless of tier, is entitled to damages, compensation, or any remedy beyond the prorated refunds described in this Section in the event of discontinuation.

16C. Pending Sweepstakes

If the Services are discontinued during an active Sweepstakes Entry Period, Sponsor will, at its sole discretion, either: (a) conduct the drawing for that Entry Period with entries received as of the discontinuation date, or (b) cancel the drawing for that Entry Period. If a drawing is canceled, no prize will be awarded for that period. Entry into the Sweepstakes does not create a vested right to any prize, and no entrant is entitled to compensation for a canceled drawing.

17. Force Majeure

Hunter's Edge shall not be liable for any failure or delay in performing its obligations under these Terms (including delivery of prizes, administration of Sweepstakes, delivery of The Drop, or maintenance of the Site) to the extent that such failure or delay results from circumstances beyond our reasonable control. Such circumstances include, but are not limited to: natural disasters, pandemics or public health emergencies, war or armed conflict, terrorism, government actions or orders, civil unrest, labor disputes, power failures, internet or telecommunications outages, cyberattacks, supply chain disruptions, postal service disruptions, or the insolvency or cessation of operations by a material third-party service provider (including payment processors, email delivery services, or hosting providers).

During a Force Majeure event, affected obligations are suspended for the duration of the event. We will make commercially reasonable efforts to resume normal operations as soon as practicable and to notify affected members of any material disruption.

18. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect. The invalid provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable while preserving its original intent.

19. Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and the Official Sweepstakes Rules, constitute the entire agreement between you and Hunter's Edge with respect to the Services and supersede all prior or contemporaneous agreements, communications, and proposals, whether oral or written.
