Version 2.0. Applies to treadstone71.com, cyberinteltrainingcenter.com, and all Treadstone 71 classes. **IMPORTANT LEGAL NOTICE. READ CAREFULLY.** This End-User License Agreement (the "Agreement") is a contract between you ("Licensee" or "you") and Treadstone 71, LLC ("T71"). Section 6 contains confidentiality, non-disclosure, and non-competition covenants. Section 10.5 requires individual arbitration of most disputes and waives jury trials and class actions. You may opt out of arbitration under Section 10.6. ## 1. Acceptance, Electronic Signature, and Scope **1.1 How You Accept.** You accept this Agreement by checking the acceptance box displayed with it and clicking the button that completes enrollment, checkout, registration, download, or first launch of a workbench. Where the form asks for your typed full name, that name forms part of your signature. Your checked box, click, and typed name are your electronic signature under the Electronic Signature Act of 1996 (Fla. Stat. § 668.004) and Fla. Stat. § 668.50. You adopt that signature with intent to sign this Agreement, and it makes this Agreement a writing signed by you for all purposes, including Fla. Stat. § 542.335(1)(a). **1.2 In-Person and Live Classes.** For an in-person or live online class, you accept by signing the class roster, registration form, or electronic acknowledgment that displays this Agreement before the first session. T71 may refuse admission to anyone who has not signed. **1.3 If You Do Not Agree.** Do not enroll, register, attend, download, or use any T71 Covered Asset. **1.4 Age and Authority.** You represent that you are at least 18 years old and able to form a binding contract. If you enroll on behalf of an organization or with organization funds, you represent that you have authority to do so. An organization becomes a party only through a signed Enterprise License Agreement or a purchase order that incorporates this Agreement. If you claim authority you do not have, you are personally responsible for that claim. **1.5 T71 Covered Assets.** This Agreement governs your access to and use of the following (the "T71 Covered Assets"): 1. Online training: the Treadstone 71 Cyber Intelligence Training Center at cyberinteltrainingcenter.com, treadstone71.com, and any T71 course delivered through a third-party learning platform under a T71 agreement. 2. Workbenches and decision engines: the Integrated Decision-Support Workspace (treadstone71.com/is2), The Adversary Index (TAI) Portal (treadstone71.com/tai), the Intelligence Readiness Scoring Portal (treadstone71.com/intelligence-readiness-scoring), the ASA Platform, the Cyber Operations Order Workbench, the Deception Planning Workbench, the Dirty Tricks Detector, and the ATCRI, ACS, CWC, CARM, HET, and CRS decision engines. 3. Publications and feeds: scoring rubrics, indicator inventories, dossiers, field references, manuals, and assessments issued under The T71 Standard or East 71st Tradecraft Publishing, and T71 Substack and blog content. 4. Code and templates: T71 code repositories, scripts, JSON profiles, prompt architectures, and templates, wherever hosted. 5. Live instruction: in-person, virtual, and hybrid classes, briefings, workshops, lectures, exercises, labs, slide decks, workbooks, and handouts. **1.6 Materials Outside This Agreement.** Books sold through retailers, public posts, and public repositories carry their own copyright notices and licenses. Copies of code already distributed under CC0-1.0 or another open license stay under that license. T71 may license later versions differently. Copyright, trademark, and trade secret law protect all T71 materials whether or not you accept this Agreement. **1.7 Consideration.** T71 grants you access to courses, workbenches, live instruction, and Gated Materials. You give the promises in this Agreement in exchange. Each side's promises support the other's. ## 2. Material Tiers **2.1 Tier 0.** Tier 0 means T71 material published openly, without login, payment, or enrollment. **2.2 Gated Materials.** "Gated Materials" means T71 material at Tier 1 or above: paid or enrolled course content, lab environments, instructor manuals, rubric calibrations, scoring weights, workbench algorithms and code, unpublished indicator inventories, and any material T71 marks or announces as confidential. Material taught in a live class and not published by T71 is Gated Material. ## 3. License **3.1 Grant.** Subject to this Agreement, T71 grants you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to use the T71 Covered Assets you are authorized to access. You may use them only for your own education or for the internal intelligence work of the organization that enrolled you. **3.2 Prohibited Actions.** You will not resell, publicly display, sublicense, or redistribute any T71 Covered Asset. Reverse engineering, decompiling, disassembling, or scraping any T71 Covered Asset, including browser-executed code, scoring weights, and rubric calibrations, is prohibited. You will not remove or alter any T71 copyright notice, trademark, watermark, or attribution. **3.3 Termination.** T71 may suspend or end your access on written notice if you materially breach this Agreement. You may end this Agreement at any time by closing your account. Refunds follow Section 9.2. **3.4 After Termination.** You will stop using Gated Materials. Delete any downloaded Gated Materials and workbench exports from your devices and browser storage. On written request, confirm the deletion in writing within 10 business days. You may keep printed books you bought and your own notes, subject to Sections 6 and 7. ## 4. Accounts and Classroom Admission **4.1 One Seat, One Person.** Each seat belongs to one named individual. Sharing credentials or letting more than one person use a seat is a material breach. Enterprise seats may be reassigned only as the Enterprise License Agreement allows. **4.2 Your Credentials.** Keep your login credentials, access tokens, and admission badges confidential. You are responsible for activity under your credentials. Report unauthorized use to This email address is being protected from spambots.

Lawful Use, Export Controls, and AI **5.1 Lawful Use of Tradecraft.** T71 teaches collection, deception, influence, and offensive cyber techniques for defense, research, and authorized operations. Use them only with lawful authority and written authorization from the owner of any system or account involved. Nothing in any T71 course authorizes access to a computer without authorization under 18 U.S.C. § 1030 or any similar law. **5.2 Export Controls and Sanctions.** T71 limits enrollment to individuals in the United States, NATO and European Union member states, and other countries T71 approves. You represent that you are not located in, ordinarily resident in, or a national of a country subject to comprehensive U.S. sanctions, and that you are not on any U.S. government restricted-party list. You will not export, re-export, or transfer any T71 Covered Asset, or knowledge gained from it, in violation of U.S. export control or sanctions law. T71 may screen registrants and may refuse or end access, refunding unused fees. **5.3 Artificial Intelligence.** You will not upload, paste, vectorize, or otherwise input Gated Materials into any external or enterprise artificial intelligence system, large language model, retrieval database, autonomous agent, or training set without T71's prior written permission. Training a machine-learning model on any T71 Covered Asset is prohibited. ## 6. Confidentiality, Non-Disclosure, and Non-Competition **6.1 Legitimate Business Interests.** The covenants in this Section protect T71's legitimate business interests under Fla. Stat. § 542.335(1)(b): its trade secrets as defined in Fla. Stat. § 688.002(4); valuable confidential business and professional information in its Gated Materials; its substantial relationships with specific prospective and existing clients and students; the goodwill associated with the T71 Marks; and the extraordinary and specialized training T71 provides. **6.2 Non-Disclosure.** You will not disclose Gated Materials to any third party, including any competing training, intelligence, or consulting provider. Disclosure to coworkers who are themselves enrolled under the same signed Enterprise License Agreement is permitted. This duty lasts 5 years after your last access to Gated Materials. For Gated Materials that qualify as trade secrets, it lasts as long as they remain trade secrets. **6.3 Non-Competition.** For 18 months after your last access to Gated Materials, you will not use Gated Materials to create, teach, license, or sell any course, certification, software tool, or consulting service that competes with the T71 course or service you received. This covenant applies in every country where T71 offers that course or service, including through online delivery. **6.4 What the Covenants Do Not Restrict.** Sections 6.2 and 6.3 do not restrict your use of your general skills, knowledge, and experience. They do not cover information that is public through no fault of yours, information you lawfully held before T71 gave it to you, or work you develop independently without Gated Materials. You may disclose information when the law requires it, after giving T71 prompt notice where the law allows. **6.5 Whistleblower Notice.** Under 18 U.S.C. § 1833(b), you are not liable under any federal or state trade secret law for disclosing a trade secret in confidence to a government official or an attorney solely to report or investigate a suspected violation of law, or in a complaint or other filing made under seal in a lawsuit or other proceeding. **6.6 Inducing Breach.** You will not knowingly solicit, induce, or help any other person bound by this Agreement to breach it. If anyone asks you to share or review Gated Materials in breach of this Agreement, tell T71 at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. **6.7 Court Modification.** If a court finds any covenant in this Section overbroad, overlong, or otherwise unenforceable as written, the court shall modify it as Fla. Stat. § 542.335(1)(c) directs and enforce it as modified. ## 7. Recording and Capture **7.1 No Recording.** You will not photograph, record, screen-capture, stream, or transcribe, including by AI meeting tools, any live instruction, oral briefing, lab environment, or Gated workbench interface. Reproducing or transmitting any such recording or capture is prohibited. **7.2 Permitted Notes and Accommodations.** You may take your own written or typed notes for personal study. T71 will approve recording, captioning, screen readers, or other assistive tools needed as a disability accommodation, and will not unreasonably deny a request sent to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. ## 8. Intellectual Property, Trademarks, and Attribution **8.1 Ownership.** T71 and its licensors own all rights in the T71 Covered Assets. This Agreement grants you only the license in Section 3.1. **8.2 T71 Marks.** TREADSTONE 71® is a registered trademark of Treadstone 71, LLC (U.S. Reg. No. 8498465).

Presenting a T71 methodology, rubric, courseware, or workbench output as your own or another party's work, after removing or altering T71 Marks, notices, or attribution, is prohibited. Such conduct may also violate 15 U.S.C. § 1125(a) and the Florida Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act (Fla. Stat. § 501.201 et seq.). **8.4 Citation Rule.** Where an edition of The Adversary Index™ or The T71 Standard™ permits citation, cite it as "Source: Treadstone 71, LLC, The Adversary Index™ (TAI™)." Do not alter, re-weight, or misstate any composite score, sub-index (CWV, OPS, AEI, NV, STC, ATA, DM, OT), or rubric criterion. **8.5 Your Submissions and Feedback.** You keep ownership of work you submit. You grant T71 a license to host, grade, and comment on it for delivering the course. If you send T71 suggestions or feedback, you grant T71 a non-exclusive, perpetual, royalty-free license to use them. ## 9. Fees, Refunds, and CPE **9.1 Fees and Payment.** Fees are as shown at purchase or in your Enterprise License Agreement. Training is paid in advance.

You need JavaScript enabled to view it., provided you have not progressed beyond the first lesson of the course.

For in-person classes, you receive a full refund if you cancel by email to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. at least 30 days before the first day of the class; after that, in-person class fees are not refundable. For live online classes, refunds follow your registration terms or your Enterprise License Agreement. If T71 cancels a class, you may choose a full refund or a transfer to another session.** **9.3 Chargebacks.** If you dispute a charge for services T71 delivered, T71 may suspend your access while the dispute is open. **9.4 CPE Credit.** CPE hours T71 lists are its estimate. Each certifying body decides whether to accept them. ## 10. Disclaimers, Liability, Remedies, and Disputes **10.1 Disclaimer.** Except as T71 states in a signed writing, T71 Covered Assets are provided "AS IS." To the extent the law allows, T71 disclaims implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose. T71 does not guarantee any certification, employment, security clearance, or operational result. Analytic assessments are judgments made under uncertainty, not guarantees of fact. **10.2 Limitation of Liability.** To the extent the law allows, neither party is liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages. T71's total liability for all claims under this Agreement is limited to the amount you paid T71 in the 12 months before the claim arose. These limits do not apply to fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct, your breach of Sections 5 through 8, or any right the law does not allow to be limited. **10.3 Indemnity.** You will defend and indemnify T71, its members, and its instructors against third-party claims, and the reasonable costs and attorneys' fees of those claims, arising from your breach of Sections 5 through 8 or your unlawful use of any T71 Covered Asset. **10.4 Injunctive Relief and Fees.** A breach of Sections 5 through 8 may cause T71 harm that money cannot repair. T71 may seek temporary and permanent injunctive relief and will post any bond the court requires. Under Fla. Stat. § 542.335(1)(j), violation of an enforceable restrictive covenant creates a presumption of irreparable injury. In any action or arbitration to enforce or challenge this Agreement, the prevailing party may recover its reasonable attorneys' fees and costs. **10.5 Disputes and Arbitration.** Florida law governs this Agreement, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules, together with applicable U.S. federal law. Either party may bring an individual claim in small claims court. Either party may also bring a claim for injunctive relief, intellectual property infringement, or trade secret misappropriation in the state courts of Lee County, Florida or the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida, Fort Myers Division, and you consent to the jurisdiction of those courts. All other disputes arising from this Agreement go to binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association. Its Consumer Arbitration Rules apply if you enrolled as an individual for personal purposes; its Commercial Arbitration Rules apply in all other cases. Hearings take place in Lee County, Florida or by video. The Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq.) governs this Section. Each party waives trial by jury and any right to bring or join a class, collective, or representative action. **10.6 Arbitration Opt-Out.** You may opt out of arbitration within 30 days after you first accept this Agreement. Email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. with the subject line "Arbitration Opt-Out," your name, and the email address on your account. Opting out does not affect any other term. **10.7 Consumer Rights.** Nothing in this Agreement limits any right that a consumer holds under the mandatory law of the consumer's country of residence. ## 11. General Terms **11.1 Changes.** T71 will announce material changes by email and on the site at least 30 days before they take effect. A material change binds you only after you accept it by checking the box at your next login or purchase. Corrections to contact details or typographical errors take effect on posting. No change applies to a dispute already pending. **11.2 Order of Precedence.** A signed Enterprise License Agreement controls over any course-specific addendum, and both control over this Agreement. **11.3 Assignment.** T71 may assign this Agreement to a successor in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, and any assignee or successor of T71 may enforce Section 6. You may not assign this Agreement. **11.4 Third-Party Beneficiaries.** T71's members and instructors are intended third-party beneficiaries of Sections 6, 7, 8, and 10 and may enforce them. **11.5 Notices and Electronic Records.** T71 sends notices to the email address on your account. You send notices to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. Email notices take effect when sent. You consent to receive this Agreement and all notices electronically, and you may download or print this Agreement at any time. **11.6 Privacy.** T71 handles personal data as described in its Privacy and GDPR Notice at treadstone71.com/gdpr. **11.7 Force Majeure.** Neither party is liable for delay caused by events outside its reasonable control, including hurricanes, war, cyberattacks, infrastructure failures, pandemics, or government action. Payment obligations are not excused. **11.8 Severability and Waiver.** If any term is unenforceable, the rest of this Agreement remains in effect. Failure to enforce a term is not a waiver. **11.9 Survival.** Sections 3.2, 3.4, 5, 6 (for the periods stated there), 7, 8, 9.3, 10, and 11 survive termination. **11.10 Entire Agreement.** This Agreement, the Privacy and GDPR Notice, and any signed Enterprise License Agreement or course addendum are the entire agreement on this subject. Headings are for convenience only. ## 12. Acceptance Statement Shown on Forms This section is a reference copy. Reading it does not accept this Agreement.
