Effective Date of this version: September 14, 2026

Last Modified: September 14, 2026 (originally published March 27, 2020)

Welcome to Babylon Bee, LLC (“Babylon Bee,” “Company,” “us,” “our,” or “we”). These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of babylonbee.com (the “Company Site”), and any Company-operated application or digital service that expressly presents these Terms for acceptance. These services are collectively the “Site.” To the extent you have agreed to these Terms, they also govern your interactions with us on our official pages on third-party social media platforms (“Social Media Pages”). They do not replace the platform’s own terms or make us responsible for its operations. “You” means the person accepting these Terms or, where applicable, the organization that person is authorized to represent.

IMPORTANT: SECTION 23 CONTAINS AN AGREEMENT TO INDIVIDUAL BINDING ARBITRATION AND A CLASS ACTION WAIVER. SUBJECT TO THE EXCEPTIONS IN THAT SECTION, YOU AND BABYLON BEE GIVE UP THE RIGHT TO HAVE COVERED DISPUTES DECIDED IN COURT BY A JUDGE OR JURY. YOU MAY OPT OUT OF THAT ARBITRATION AGREEMENT WITHIN 30 DAYS AS EXPLAINED IN SECTION 23.8.

You accept these Terms when you select an unchecked acceptance box, click a button clearly identified as indicating agreement, or otherwise affirmatively agree after these Terms have been made available to you. Where permitted by applicable law, you may also accept them by continuing to use the Site after receiving clear, conspicuous notice that continued use constitutes acceptance and a reasonable opportunity to review them. Do not create an account, subscribe, submit User Content, or use a feature requiring acceptance unless you agree. An authorized electronic acceptance has the same effect as a signature, subject to applicable law.

Our Privacy Policy and, where applicable, our Privacy Notice for California Residents explain our information practices and your privacy choices. Our Terms and Conditions for Online Sales apply to purchases. Our Community Guidelines apply to community participation. These documents apply to their respective subjects as described in Section 29. Acceptance of these Terms is not a substitute for any separate consent required for recurring charges, marketing messages, tracking, or disclosure of personal information.

1. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old and have reached the age of legal majority where you live to create an account, subscribe, make purchases, submit User Content, or otherwise use the Site. You must also have legal capacity to enter this agreement. The Site is not directed to children. A parent’s permission does not authorize an underage person to create an account or submit personal information through the Site. A person under 18 may view the publicly available content on the Site, and may use features that require an account only through the account of, and under the direct supervision of, a parent or legal guardian who is the account holder and is responsible for that use, as described in our Privacy Policy.

You must provide accurate eligibility and account information. We may restrict or terminate an account that does not satisfy these requirements, request information reasonably necessary to verify eligibility in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable law, and take any other action the law requires. Report an account you believe is underage through our contact page. If you act for an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind it.

2. Contact Information

For customer service, questions about these Terms, and general notices, contact:

• Babylon Bee, LLC
• Attn: Customer Service / Legal Notices
• 110 Front Street, Suite 300
• Jupiter, FL 33458
• Contact Babylon Bee

For a notice of a dispute or arbitration opt-out, follow Section 23. Copyright notices and counter-notices must be directed to the designated agent in Section 14. These contact procedures do not replace legally required service of process or restrict any notice method that applicable law requires us to accept.

3. Community Score Points Terms and Conditions

Premium subscribers in good standing may be eligible to participate in community score features and earn community score points (“Points”) through activities such as submitting headlines, posting or responding to comments, and interacting with other users. Available activities and scoring methods may change. We determine eligibility and Points in good faith under these Terms and any rules displayed with the feature.

Other than the applicable subscription price, participation does not require an additional purchase unless separately disclosed and accepted. Points are an engagement measure, not money, stored value, cryptocurrency, an investment, or a promise of a prize. They have no cash or redemption value, are not transferable, and do not establish an ownership interest in the Company or the Site. Separate written promotion rules must expressly provide any additional benefit.

We may correct errors, reverse Points obtained through fraud or manipulation, and suspend participation for violations of these Terms or the Community Guidelines. Points may be reset or removed when an account is closed or a feature is discontinued. We do not guarantee preservation or reinstatement of a score. We may modify or discontinue these features, subject to Section 27 and any rights associated with a paid subscription. Nothing in this section eliminates a remedy that applicable law requires.

4. Online Purchases and Other Terms and Conditions

Subscriptions, one-time contributions, merchandise purchases, and other sales through the Site are subject to the Terms and Conditions for Online Sales and the specific offer you accept. Prices, billing frequency, included benefits, trial terms, cancellation terms, and applicable taxes or charges must be disclosed before you authorize a purchase. No recurring payment is authorized solely by accepting these Terms.

Automatic renewal. A subscription renews automatically only if that feature is clearly disclosed and you affirmatively consent to it during enrollment. Unless you cancel before the next disclosed renewal, you authorize the recurring charges described in the offer you accepted. Any trial conversion or promotional price change is subject to the disclosures and consent applicable to that offer. We will provide confirmations, reminders, change notices, and additional consent requests when required by law.

Cancellation. For subscriptions billed directly by us, you may cancel future renewals through the cancellation control in your account or by contacting us through our contact page. We will also accept any other cancellation method required by applicable law. For subscriptions billed by an app store or another seller, use that seller’s cancellation process, without limiting any rights you have against us. Cancellation generally stops future renewals and leaves access available through the already-paid period. Refunds are governed by the accepted offer, the Terms and Conditions for Online Sales, and applicable law. There is no waiver of refunds for unauthorized charges, nonperformance, or other circumstances in which a refund is legally required. We will not require you to accept a retention offer to complete cancellation.

Changes and discontinuation. A price increase applies prospectively, not to an already-paid subscription period. Before a renewal at a changed price or on materially changed terms, we will provide the notice and obtain any consent required by law, with an opportunity to cancel before the change takes effect. If we permanently discontinue a paid service or terminate your paid access for reasons other than your material breach, fraud, or unlawful conduct, we will provide a prorated refund for the unused prepaid period unless we agree with you on an alternative remedy. Other refunds remain subject to applicable law and the offer you accepted.

Separate, clearly disclosed terms may apply to a contest, promotion, product, or feature when presented before participation or purchase. They do not silently replace the dispute resolution or consumer-rights protections in these Terms. Nothing here restricts a good-faith billing dispute, chargeback, consumer complaint, or other nonwaivable right.

5. Site Usage

Subject to these Terms, you may use the Site for lawful personal, noncommercial purposes and for legitimate dealings with the Company as a customer, supplier, vendor, or other authorized business contact. Permitted sharing and intellectual property limitations are described in Sections 6 and 18.

You must not:

• Violate applicable law; exploit or endanger a minor; commit fraud; threaten or unlawfully harass anyone; or submit content prohibited by Section 8.
• Impersonate the Company or another person, falsely claim authorization or endorsement, or misuse another person’s identity or account. Clearly identified lawful parody is subject to our Community Guidelines and must not be used to defraud others.
• Bypass a paywall, access restriction, rate limit, suspension, or authentication measure; share or sell account access without authorization; or use credentials you are not entitled to use.
• Probe, scan, or test the security of our systems without written authorization; access nonpublic systems or data without permission; or interfere with another user’s access.
• Introduce malware, deploy a denial-of-service attack, or take action that damages, disables, or unreasonably burdens the Site or connected systems.
• Send spam, unsolicited commercial messages, fraudulent solicitations, or prohibited promotional content through the Site.
• Harvest users’ personal information, private communications, or account data; collect such information through deception; or use it for unauthorized marketing or unlawful purposes.
• Scrape, bulk-download, extract, or systematically reproduce Site content through automated or other means except as expressly authorized or permitted by applicable law. Subject to that qualification, this includes collecting content for datasets, machine-learning training, model evaluation, or a competing content service without our written permission.
• Remove proprietary notices or satire disclosures, misrepresent the source or meaning of our content, or frame the Site to falsely imply association or ownership.
• Assist, encourage, or knowingly facilitate prohibited activity, including manipulation of subscriptions, free trials, Points, reactions, or other engagement features.

This section does not prohibit ordinary browser functions, legitimate assistive technology, or public search indexing that we authorize through our published crawler instructions, provided the activity does not bypass access restrictions. Technical access alone does not grant permission for bulk commercial reuse. These Terms do not declare conduct criminal merely because it breaches a contractual restriction, and they do not restrict rights that applicable law does not permit us to restrict.

We may investigate suspected misuse, preserve relevant records, restrict access, and cooperate with lawful requests from authorities, subject to applicable law and our Privacy Policy. An allegation alone does not establish that a user has broken the law.

6. Site Contents and Intellectual Property Rights

6.1 Ownership and reserved rights

The Site’s text, headlines, illustrations, photographs, designs, audio, video, graphics, software, layout, and other material (“Contents”) are protected to the extent applicable by copyright, trademark, and other laws. Except for User Content and third-party material, the Company or its licensors owns the rights in the Contents. Third-party material may appear under a license, permission, or another lawful basis, including fair use. Its appearance does not mean we own it, endorse its owner, or have authority to grant you rights in it.

Babylon Bee’s names, logos, and other marks belong to the Company. Other marks belong to their respective owners. No ownership rights transfer to you through access, downloading, payment for a subscription, or use of a sharing feature. All rights not expressly granted are reserved.

6.2 Limited permission to use the Contents

You may view material you are authorized to access, make incidental browser and cache copies, print or download a reasonable number of pages for personal use or legitimate dealings with the Company, and use the sharing features we provide. You may share ordinary links and any previews or portions we expressly make shareable, with source identification and applicable satire and proprietary notices intact.

Except as permitted above, by a separate license, or by applicable law, you may not reproduce, publish, distribute, sell, sublicense, publicly display, translate, adapt, or create derivative works from the Contents; publish subscriber-only material; or exploit the Site as a substitute for our services. These restrictions do not eliminate fair use, lawful quotation, or other rights that cannot lawfully be restricted. Permission requests may be submitted through our contact page.

6.3 Satire, parody, commentary, and factual material

BABYLON BEE PUBLISHES SATIRE AND PARODY. CONTENT PRESENTED AS SATIRE IS CREATIVE EXPRESSION, NOT A FACTUAL NEWS REPORT. Satirical material may use real names, events, organizations, and public figures in fictional, exaggerated, or absurd situations. Quotations, images, and events in that material may be invented or altered for comedic effect. A depiction does not imply that the depicted person participated in, authorized, or endorsed it.

The Site may also contain interviews, opinions, advertisements, customer-service information, and other nonsatirical material. Those materials must be understood in their own context. This satire notice does not characterize product descriptions, prices, billing disclosures, privacy statements, or other factual representations about our business as jokes, and does not waive responsibility that the law does not permit us to disclaim.

Editorial content is provided for general information, commentary, and entertainment, not as individualized legal, financial, medical, or other professional advice. Do not rely on satirical content as factual guidance or on editorial material as a substitute for qualified advice. We do not promise that all archival material is current, complete, or continuously updated. Lawful disclaimers and limitations are set out in Sections 21 and 22.

6.4 Third-party statements

User Content, guest statements, advertisements, and other third-party material are the responsibility of their respective creators and do not necessarily represent the Company’s views. We do not guarantee their accuracy or endorse a product merely because an advertisement or link appears. This provision does not disclaim liability for our own unlawful conduct or remove any responsibility imposed by nonwaivable law.

7. Links to Third-Party Sites

Links, embedded media, advertisements, payment services, and social features may connect you to services operated by third parties (“Linked Sites”). Unless expressly stated, we do not control them, promise their availability or security, or endorse their products, statements, or conduct. Your relationship with a third-party provider is governed by its own terms and privacy practices.

Review those terms before supplying information or completing a transaction. We may add or remove third-party features, subject to commitments associated with a paid service. These Terms do not excuse any disclosure, consent, or other obligation the law imposes on us in connection with a third-party integration.

8. User Content

8.1 Your submissions and our moderation

The Site or our Social Media Pages may allow comments, submitted headlines, profile material, images, messages, or other contributions (“User Content”). Availability may depend on registration or subscription. You remain responsible for your User Content and your conduct. You represent that you own the material you submit or have the rights and permissions necessary for your submission and the uses authorized below.

We may review, edit, label, limit distribution of, decline, remove, or preserve User Content and may restrict community access in our editorial discretion, subject to applicable law. We do not promise to review every submission, publish a submission, maintain particular viewpoints, preserve material indefinitely, or remove every objectionable item. We may act on reports or information we receive, and will comply with applicable legal obligations. Contact us to report suspected violations. For an immediate emergency, contact the appropriate emergency service rather than relying on the Site.

8.2 Content standards

User Content and community activity must comply with our Community Guidelines and must not:

• Infringe copyright, trademark, privacy, publicity, confidentiality, or other legal rights, including by uploading material you lack the right to submit.
• Contain unlawful threats, defamatory factual assertions, targeted unlawful harassment, sexual exploitation, prohibited intimate images, or material promoting or facilitating unlawful violence or other illegal activity.
• Include sexual content involving minors, solicit private information from minors, or otherwise exploit or endanger a minor. Do not repost prohibited material when reporting it.
• Disclose another person’s nonpublic contact details, financial or account information, private communications, intimate material, or other protected personal information without lawful authorization. Artificially generated or altered intimate depictions are subject to the same prohibition.
• Falsely suggest affiliation or endorsement, deceptively impersonate another person, or use altered media to defraud or unlawfully harm others. Genuine satire does not excuse infringement or other unlawful conduct.
• Contain spam, scams, malware, unauthorized advertising, or manipulation of community features.
• Violate the Community Guidelines’ restrictions on profanity, abusive conduct, hateful material, and other community behavior.

Nothing in these Terms prohibits an honest review of our products, services, or business conduct, lawful criticism, a good-faith report to a government agency, or other legally protected communication. We do not impose a penalty for those communications or require transfer of ownership of a consumer review. Content moderation remains subject to these protections.

8.3 License for public and editorial submissions

You retain ownership of your User Content. For User Content you make publicly available, or knowingly submit through a feature inviting editorial contributions such as candidate satirical headlines, you grant Babylon Bee a nonexclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, fully paid-up, perpetual license, irrevocable to the extent permitted by law, to host, store, reproduce, edit, adapt, translate, publish, display, perform, distribute, and incorporate that content into other works in any media. This includes our editorial publications, podcasts, videos, and promotion of the Site and those works. The license may be transferred or sublicensed to our affiliates, service providers, licensees, distributors, and successors for those purposes.

This grant authorizes editorial use of submissions made through a clearly identified editorial-submission feature even when access to that feature is limited to subscribers. It does not give us ownership of your work, authorize uses you had no right to permit, or supply a release of another person’s privacy, publicity, or other rights. We may identify an editorial contribution using the name or public profile information you submitted with it, consistent with your applicable privacy choices. We will not use your identity to falsely imply your endorsement of a product or an unrelated commercial advertisement.

Unless we separately agree in writing or the law requires otherwise, you are not entitled to payment, attribution, approval, or publication. We may independently develop or receive similar ideas or material. Deleting an account or submission does not require recall of lawful publications or derivative works already made under this license. Any applicable statutory termination right and nonwaivable privacy or deletion rights remain unaffected.

8.4 Private or restricted communications

Private messages, customer-support communications, and material submitted to a restricted group that is not an editorial-submission feature are not licensed for unrestricted public publication merely because you use the Site. For that material, you grant only the rights reasonably necessary to deliver and operate the requested service, support users, maintain security, enforce our rules, and meet legal obligations, consistent with the stated audience, our Privacy Policy, and applicable law.

Do not submit confidential business proposals or material you expect us to protect under a nondisclosure agreement unless we have signed one. This warning does not eliminate legal protections for personal information or our express privacy commitments. Other users may copy material they can access, so use care when sharing information.

8.5 Enforcement and lawful disclosures

We may investigate suspected violations and make disclosures permitted or required by law, consistent with our Privacy Policy. We reserve available legal protections for hosting third-party content and good-faith moderation. Neither this section nor the content license purports to waive claims based on our own unlawful conduct or to establish immunity where the law does not provide it.

9. Use of Communication Services

Use contact forms, messaging, support, and other communication facilities only for their intended purpose and in compliance with these Terms. We may send service-related notices, security alerts, receipts, and account information through the contact information you provide, subject to applicable law. Keep that information current.

Where lawful, notices may be provided electronically, with any separately required electronic-delivery consent. Marketing preferences are separate from necessary account communications. Unsubscribing from marketing does not cancel a paid subscription. Our communication facilities are not emergency services and do not guarantee an immediate response.

10. Text Messages (SMS)

An optional text-message program may provide content alerts, subscription information, or promotional messages. Enrollment must identify the sender, the types of messages, and any applicable program-specific terms. Marketing texts, including texts sent using automated technology where applicable, require the consent specified in the enrollment disclosure and applicable law. Supplying a phone number or accepting these Terms alone does not constitute consent to promotional texts. Consent to marketing messages is not a condition of purchase.

Message frequency varies by program. Message and data rates may apply. You represent that you are authorized to provide the enrolled number and will notify us if you stop controlling it.

You may revoke consent by replying STOP where reply messaging is supported, using another reasonable opt-out instruction stated in a message, calling 561-320-8182, or contacting us through our contact page. We will honor other reasonable revocation methods and process requests within the period required by applicable law. A permitted, nonpromotional confirmation may follow. For assistance, use our contact page or reply HELP where supported. A marketing opt-out does not itself cancel a subscription or erase amounts already lawfully owed.

Delivery depends on carriers and other systems. We and participating carriers do not guarantee delivery or timing. Any limitation of responsibility remains subject to applicable law and Sections 21 and 22; it does not waive liability for sending messages unlawfully.

11. Accessing the Site and Account Security

You are responsible for obtaining a suitable device, connection, and any third-party services needed to access the Site. Provide correct, current, and complete registration and billing information. Keep credentials confidential, do not share account access without authorization, and promptly notify us of suspected compromise. Use reasonable precautions on shared devices.

You are responsible for activity you authorize and for your own failure to comply with these security obligations. You are not automatically responsible for activity caused by our breach of duty or for another person’s unauthorized activity merely because it occurred through your account. Nonwaivable payment protections remain in effect.

We may modify, interrupt, or discontinue features, restrict access for maintenance or security, or suspend or terminate an account for a material breach, nonpayment, fraud, unlawful conduct, a legal requirement, or discontinuation of a service. We may also discontinue a relationship in our discretion, subject to applicable law and the paid-service protections in Section 4. When reasonably practicable and appropriate, we will provide notice and an opportunity to address a remediable violation. Advance notice is not required where it would compromise security, an investigation, compliance with law, or protection of the Site or others.

Termination may end access to account material and community features. Keep your own copies of material you are entitled to retain. Termination does not create an obligation to refund properly earned fees except as stated in Section 4, the offer you accepted, or applicable law. It does not authorize new subscription charges after cancellation or discontinuation of the paid service. Data retention and deletion are governed by our Privacy Policy and applicable law.

12. Copyright Notice

Copyright © 2026 Babylon Bee, LLC and its licensors, as applicable. All rights reserved. Rights in individual works may arise in other years and remain with their respective owners.

13. Digital Millennium Copyright Act

We respond to copyright notices and counter-notices in accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”), 17 U.S.C. § 512, as applicable. We may remove or disable access to material in response to a legally sufficient notice or other information indicating infringement.

We adopt and reasonably implement a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of repeat copyright infringers. We may also restrict or terminate an account for a single serious infringement where appropriate. We accommodate and do not interfere with qualifying standard technical measures as required by the DMCA. Nothing in these Terms requires a copyright owner to create an account or agree to arbitration to submit an infringement notice.

14. Procedure for Submitting Notification of Alleged Copyright Infringement

Send copyright notices to our designated agent:

• Babylon Bee DMCA Agent
• Nason, Yeager, Gerson, Harris & Fumero, P.A.
• Attn: Brian Hickey, Esq.
• 3001 PGA Blvd, Suite 305
• Palm Beach Gardens, FL 33410
• Telephone: (561) 686-3307
• Email: bhickey@nasonyeager.com

A notice should include:

1. Your physical or electronic signature as the copyright owner or a person authorized to act for the owner.
2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to be infringed or, for multiple works at a single online site, a representative list.
3. Identification of the allegedly infringing material and information reasonably sufficient to locate it, such as the specific URL and location on the page.
4. Information reasonably sufficient to contact you, including an address, telephone number, and, if available, email address.
5. A statement that you have a good-faith belief the challenged use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
6. A statement that the notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act for the owner of the allegedly infringed exclusive right.

Consider whether the challenged use is authorized by law, including fair use. We may provide the notice, including relevant contact information, to the person who submitted the material, as part of the legal process. Knowingly making a material misrepresentation of infringement may result in liability under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f). Other inquiries should be directed to our general contact information.

15. Counter Notification Procedures

If your material was removed or disabled because of a copyright notice and you believe the removal resulted from mistake or misidentification, you may send a counter-notice to the designated agent in Section 14. It must contain:

1. Your physical or electronic signature.
2. Identification of the removed or disabled material and its location before removal or disabling.
3. A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed or disabled because of mistake or misidentification.
4. Your name, address, and telephone number, and an email address if available.
5. A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for the judicial district in which your address is located or, if your address is outside the United States, any judicial district in which Babylon Bee may be found, and that you will accept service of process from the person who submitted the original notification or that person’s agent.

We will promptly provide a qualifying counter-notice to the original complainant. Subject to the DMCA, we will restore the material not fewer than 10 and not more than 14 business days after receiving the counter-notice, unless our designated agent first receives notice that the complainant has filed an action seeking a court order restraining the alleged infringement. An independent, lawful basis for removal under these Terms may still apply; counter-notification does not create a right to publish content that violates another applicable rule.

Knowingly making a material misrepresentation in a counter-notice may result in liability under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f). Seek legal advice before submitting one if you are unsure of your rights or obligations.

16. Other Intellectual Property and Editorial Concerns

For an intellectual property concern other than copyright, contact us through the contact page or at editor@babylonbee.com. Identify the material, its specific location, the right you believe is affected, your authority to raise the concern, and a way to contact you. Copyright notices should follow Section 14 instead.

You may also report an editorial concern, alleged factual error, privacy concern, impersonation, or other allegedly unlawful content through the contact page. Provide the relevant URL and enough information for us to evaluate the issue. A report does not require an account, purchase, or acceptance of these Terms. These reporting options do not shorten a legal deadline, create a mandatory contractual prerequisite for a nonparty’s claim, or replace a notice procedure required by law. Receiving or reviewing a report is not an admission of liability.

17. Your Privacy Rights

Our Privacy Policy and applicable state-specific notices govern our handling of personal information and explain available rights and choices. These Terms do not grant unrestricted permission to collect, disclose, sell, share, or otherwise use personal information. A User Content license does not override applicable privacy rights or the audience limitations described in Section 8.4.

Where a law requires separate consent, a particular disclosure, or an opt-out mechanism, we must satisfy that requirement independently. This applies, as relevant, to cookies and tracking technology, communications, and disclosures of information identifying a person’s video viewing. Acceptance of these Terms alone is not consent under the Video Privacy Protection Act or a waiver of rights under privacy or communications laws. You can manage cookies and tracking at any time on the Your Privacy Choices page.

18. Linking to the Site and Social Media Features

You may link to our homepage or individual public articles and use authorized social sharing and embedding features, provided you do not falsely imply endorsement, misrepresent the source, bypass access restrictions, or obscure applicable satire or proprietary notices. Ordinary article links do not require advance written permission.

You may display previews and excerpts supplied by an authorized feature as the feature permits. Do not frame or reproduce the Site in a misleading way, resell access, or redistribute restricted material without permission. These conditions do not eliminate rights that applicable law does not permit us to restrict. We may disable features or withdraw permissions for misuse, subject to applicable law and commitments to paying customers.

19. Indemnification

To the extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to indemnify and defend Babylon Bee, its affiliates, licensors, and service providers, and their respective officers, directors, members, managers, employees, contractors, agents, successors, and assigns (the “Protected Parties”), against third-party claims, damages, judgments, and reasonable defense costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, to the extent caused by your unlawful User Content, infringement of another person’s rights, fraud or intentional misconduct, or material breach of these Terms.

This obligation does not require you to pay for losses caused by a Protected Party’s own negligence, fraud, willful misconduct, violation of law, or breach of its obligations. It does not apply merely because you use the Site, cannot access it, make an honest review, exercise a statutory right, or bring a good-faith claim against us.

We will give reasonably prompt notice of a claim and reasonable cooperation at your expense. A delay in notice excuses your obligation only to the extent it materially prejudices the defense. Subject to an insurer’s applicable rights, you may control the defense with competent counsel reasonably acceptable to us. We may participate with our own counsel at our expense or assume control at our expense. You may not settle a claim in a way that admits fault by, imposes a nonmonetary obligation on, or fails to fully release a Protected Party without its prior written consent, which will not be unreasonably withheld.

20. Geographic Restrictions

The Company is based in the United States. We do not promise that every feature or product is available or appropriate in every jurisdiction. You must comply with laws applicable to your use, and we may restrict availability to comply with law. You must not use the Site in violation of applicable export controls or sanctions or provide a service or payment we are legally prohibited from accepting.

This section does not shift our own compliance obligations to you or deprive a consumer outside Florida or the United States of mandatory protections applicable to that consumer. Any express geographic restriction in an offer also applies.

21. Disclaimer of Warranties

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE SITE AND EDITORIAL CONTENT ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, OR NONINFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT GUARANTEE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE OPERATION, PERFECT SECURITY, OR THAT EVERY ITEM OF CONTENT IS COMPLETE, CURRENT, OR ACCURATE.

You are responsible for reasonable device security and backups of information you are entitled to keep. We cannot guarantee that every download, transmission, or third-party connection is free of harmful code. These statements do not excuse our own security obligations under applicable law.

The disclaimers do not negate an express promise in an accepted offer, a written product warranty, a statutory guarantee, or another obligation that cannot lawfully be excluded. Products and paid services remain subject to the Terms and Conditions for Online Sales, Section 4, the offer you accepted, and applicable law. Where a warranty cannot be disclaimed, any permissible limitation applies only to the extent the law allows.

22. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE PROTECTED PARTIES WILL NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR LOST PROFITS, REVENUE, BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES, GOODWILL, OR DATA, ARISING OUT OF THESE TERMS OR THE SITE, EVEN IF ADVISED THAT SUCH LOSS WAS POSSIBLE.

SUBJECT TO THE EXCEPTIONS BELOW, THE PROTECTED PARTIES’ TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO YOU ARISING OUT OF THESE TERMS OR THE SITE WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) US $100 OR (B) THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID TO BABYLON BEE FOR THE PRODUCT OR SERVICE GIVING RISE TO LIABILITY DURING THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE FIRST EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM.

These limitations apply across legal theories and to the Protected Parties collectively, not separately for each party. They apply only where enforceable and only to liabilities within their scope.

Exceptions. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability for fraud, willful misconduct, gross negligence, death or personal injury caused by negligence, or any other liability that applicable law does not permit us to exclude or limit. These Terms do not eliminate nonwaivable statutory damages, attorneys’ fees, injunctive relief, or other mandatory remedies. Refunds and payment reversals we owe under Section 4, an express accepted offer, or applicable law are not reduced by the liability cap. No disclaimer overrides an express warranty or applicable mandatory product-safety or consumer-protection obligation.

Where a jurisdiction does not permit a particular exclusion or limit, that exclusion or limit does not apply to you to that extent. The remaining lawful provisions continue to apply. Discontinuing use is not your exclusive remedy where the law or this agreement provides another remedy.

23. Dispute Resolution and Binding Arbitration

23.1 Covered disputes and mutual agreement

Subject to the exceptions below and your right to opt out, you and Babylon Bee agree to resolve through individual binding arbitration any dispute or claim between us arising out of or relating to these Terms, your use of the Site, your account, a purchase from us, or our related communications or handling of your information (a “Dispute”). This includes contract, tort, and statutory claims. The agreement is limited to our relationship described in these Terms and does not cover unrelated dealings with an affiliate.

It applies to Disputes arising from events after you accept this version. It does not retroactively impose arbitration on an accrued claim, a dispute of which either party already has notice, or a person who has not agreed. An earlier valid agreement may govern earlier events according to its own terms and applicable law.

A Protected Party may enforce this section only for a Dispute arising from its role in providing or supporting the Site or the transaction at issue, and only if it accepts the same corresponding arbitration obligations. The Federal Arbitration Act governs interpretation and enforcement of this arbitration agreement, subject to its statutory exclusions and other applicable mandatory law.

23.2 Informal resolution

Before starting arbitration, the party raising a Dispute should send a written notice identifying the claimant, the account or transaction if applicable, the relevant facts, and the relief requested. Send a notice to us through our contact page marked “Notice of Dispute” or by mail to the Section 2 address. We will send our notice to your last known email or mailing address. Neither party must provide sensitive identifiers not reasonably necessary to identify the matter.

The parties will try in good faith to resolve the Dispute for 30 days after receipt. No in-person meeting, notarization, or representation by counsel is required. A party may file sooner when needed to preserve a claim, comply with law, seek urgent relief, or when the other party declines to participate. Any applicable limitation period is tolled during this process to the extent permitted by law. This process is not required for a qualifying small-claims action or a report to a government agency. A procedural defect does not automatically forfeit a claim.

23.3 Exceptions

Either party may bring an individual claim in small claims court if it qualifies and remains there on an individual basis. Either party may bring a claim concerning infringement, misappropriation, or validity of its intellectual property rights in a court with jurisdiction, or seek temporary relief from a court to preserve the status quo while an arbitrable Dispute is resolved.

This section does not restrict complaints to government agencies, their investigations or enforcement, claims that applicable law excludes from predispute arbitration, or rights under applicable federal laws permitting an election of a court forum. It does not waive a right to seek public injunctive relief or another remedy that cannot lawfully be waived. If applicable law requires such a remedy to be considered in court, that request may proceed there while otherwise arbitrable claims remain subject to arbitration, with any coordination or stay determined as the law permits.

23.4 Administrator, rules, and location

Arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) before one neutral arbitrator under its applicable Consumer Arbitration Rules and Consumer Due Process Protocol. The rules and fee information are available from AAA’s consumer rules page or from us upon request. The applicable AAA rules, including any applicable mass-arbitration supplementary rules and fee schedule, govern administration, subject to applicable law and the consumer protections in this section.

Any conflict with these Terms will be resolved to preserve mandatory rights and the minimum consumer protections required for AAA administration. We will comply with applicable business registration and fee obligations. You may participate remotely when permitted by the AAA rules. Any necessary in-person hearing will take place in the county of your residence or another reasonably convenient location determined under the rules, unless both parties agree otherwise after the Dispute arises. You will not be required to travel to Palm Beach County solely because the Company is located there.

If AAA is unavailable for reasons other than our noncompliance, the parties may agree on another neutral administrator providing equivalent consumer protections. If they cannot agree, either may ask a court to appoint an administrator or arbitrator as applicable law permits. If AAA declines administration because we fail to comply with its requirements or pay required fees, you may elect to proceed in court. We may not use administrator substitution to avoid consequences imposed by law for that failure.

23.5 Fees, remedies, and decision

Filing fees, administrative costs, and arbitrator compensation will be allocated under the applicable AAA consumer rules and fee schedule. You will not be required to pay more than the consumer portion those rules and applicable law permit. We will pay the amounts those authorities require the business to pay, including any additional amount needed to keep arbitration accessible as required by law. Available fee waivers remain available.

Each party ordinarily bears its own attorneys’ fees, but the arbitrator may award fees, costs, and any other relief authorized by applicable law. Nothing in this arbitration agreement prevents the award of a remedy that would be available to an individual claimant in court. Sections 21 and 22 apply only to the extent lawfully enforceable and consistent with those rights and required consumer protections.

The arbitrator will issue a reasoned written decision. A court with jurisdiction may enter judgment on the award. Judicial review is limited as provided by the Federal Arbitration Act and other applicable law. No provision here requires a consumer to keep the existence of a Dispute confidential or refrain from an honest review or lawful report.

23.6 Individual proceedings and class action waiver

TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, YOU AND BABYLON BEE AGREE THAT DISPUTES SUBJECT TO ARBITRATION WILL BE BROUGHT ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN A CLASS, COLLECTIVE, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE ARBITRATION. An arbitrator may not conduct a class arbitration or combine the merits of different individuals’ claims without the express agreement of all affected parties after the Dispute arises.

This does not prevent administrative coordination authorized by the applicable AAA rules, including their mass-arbitration procedures, provided individual claims and remedies are preserved. These Terms do not create an indefinite waiting queue, eliminate required fees, or displace applicable protections for coordinated filings. The waiver is subject to Section 23.3 and does not waive public injunctive relief or another nonwaivable right. It is not a standalone prohibition on class proceedings in court when this arbitration agreement does not apply.

23.7 Authority, severability, and time limits

A court, not an arbitrator, decides whether an arbitration agreement was formed, whether a timely opt-out applies, and whether this arbitration agreement or its class action waiver is enforceable. The arbitrator decides the merits and other procedural questions assigned under the applicable rules and law, including scope questions not reserved to a court by law.

If a provision of this section is unenforceable, it will be severed to the extent possible without eliminating mandatory rights. If the class arbitration waiver is unenforceable for a particular claim, that claim must proceed in court rather than class arbitration. Remaining arbitrable claims may proceed individually. Neither party consents to class arbitration by severability or otherwise.

The applicable statutory limitation periods govern. These Terms do not shorten the time the law allows to bring a claim.

23.8 Your 30-day right to opt out

You may opt out of this arbitration agreement and its associated class action waiver by sending us notice within 30 days after you first accept this version of the Terms. Use our contact page with the subject or opening words “Arbitration Opt-Out,” or mail a notice to the Section 2 address. Identify your name, the email associated with your account if any, and state that you opt out of arbitration. You need not explain your decision or obtain a lawyer or notarization. Electronic notice must be submitted within the period; mailed notice must be postmarked within it. Keep a copy and proof of submission or mailing.

Opting out does not affect your ability to use the Site or subscribe on otherwise available terms, and the remaining Terms continue to apply. A timely opt-out applies to Disputes covered by this version; it does not cancel an independently valid agreement governing events before this version took effect or unrelated transactions. We will not treat continued use as revocation of a timely opt-out.

23.9 Changes to this section

A material change to this arbitration agreement applies only prospectively after clear notice and your affirmative acceptance. It does not apply to a Dispute that has already accrued or of which either party already has notice. You receive a new 30-day opt-out opportunity after accepting a materially revised arbitration agreement. A change in notice contact information alone is not a material change, and we will not reject a timely notice reasonably sent to the immediately preceding address because of an address change.

24. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

Except for matters governed by the Federal Arbitration Act or other controlling federal law, these Terms and Disputes are governed by Florida law without applying conflict-of-law rules that would select another jurisdiction’s law. This choice does not deprive a consumer of mandatory protections of the jurisdiction where the consumer resides that applicable law requires to apply.

Subject to Section 23, a court proceeding between you and the Company concerning these Terms or the Site must be brought in a state court in Palm Beach County, Florida, or the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida with appropriate venue. Each party consents to personal jurisdiction there. This forum requirement does not restrict an eligible small-claims case in your county of residence, a forum that nonwaivable law permits or requires, or a proceeding necessary to enforce a judgment. No separate jury-trial waiver applies to a claim that properly proceeds in court merely because you accepted these Terms.

25. No Waiver

A failure or delay by either party to enforce a provision does not waive the right to enforce it later. A waiver of one breach does not waive another breach. Any express waiver must be made by the party entitled to enforce the provision and is limited to its stated scope. This section does not extend a legal deadline or override a waiver resulting from conduct where applicable law requires that result.

26. Severability

Except as specifically provided in Section 23, an invalid or unenforceable provision will be severed, or limited only to the extent a court is legally permitted to do so, while the remaining Terms remain effective. No provision authorizes rewriting these Terms to take away a nonwaivable consumer right or create consent that was not given.

27. Modification

We may update these Terms and will identify the effective date of each version. For material changes affecting existing users, we will provide at least 30 days’ advance notice through email, an account notice, or another reasonably conspicuous method, unless an earlier change is necessary to comply with law or address an urgent security issue. Changes will not operate retroactively to eliminate an accrued claim or an existing right for a prepaid period.

Where affirmative consent is required, the change takes effect for you only after that consent. Arbitration changes are governed specifically by Section 23.9. Billing and renewal changes are governed by Section 4 and applicable law. For other changes, continued use after clear notice and the effective date constitutes acceptance only where applicable law permits. Merely posting a revision does not establish acceptance in circumstances requiring further notice or consent.

If you do not accept a material change, stop using the affected service and cancel future renewals. Any remaining access, refund, or other right for a prepaid period will be handled under Section 4, the accepted offer, and applicable law. We may make editorial or other nonmaterial corrections without advance notice. A copy of the currently applicable Terms may be requested through our contact page.

28. Assignment, Survival, and Events Beyond Reasonable Control

You may not transfer an account or assign these Terms without our written consent, except where applicable law permits otherwise. We may assign this agreement in connection with a merger, reorganization, or sale of the relevant business or assets, provided the successor assumes our obligations and the transfer does not reduce your mandatory rights. Assignment does not expand the scope of your arbitration agreement or create permission for new uses of personal information.

Provisions that by their nature should survive termination do so, including existing content licenses to their stated extent, accrued payment obligations, intellectual property protections, lawful disclaimers and liability limits, indemnification for covered conduct, and dispute resolution for covered Disputes. Survival does not authorize future recurring charges after cancellation or expand data retention rights.

Neither party is responsible for delay caused by events beyond its reasonable control, such as natural disasters, war, government action, widespread communications failures, or similar events, to the extent performance is actually prevented and the party takes reasonable steps to limit the effects. This does not excuse payments or refunds already owed, avoid nonwaivable obligations, or eliminate the paid-service protections in Section 4.

29. Entire Agreement and Order of Precedence

These Terms, applicable accepted offer terms, the Terms and Conditions for Online Sales, and the applicable Community Guidelines state the agreement between you and the Company about their respective subjects. The Privacy Policy and applicable state-specific notices govern personal-information practices and remain subject to applicable law. Separate signed agreements remain effective for the subjects they expressly govern.

If documents conflict, the following order applies: mandatory law controls first; a separate signed agreement controls its expressly covered subject; the Privacy Policy and applicable privacy notices control personal-information handling; specific offer terms presented and accepted at purchase control the promised product or service, price, billing period, and included benefits; these Terms control dispute resolution, warranty and liability limitations, eligibility, consumer-rights savings provisions, and their own modification; and the Terms and Conditions for Online Sales and Community Guidelines otherwise control their respective subjects. No general provision in another document, including a provision selecting terms most favorable to the Company, overrides this order.

For events occurring after you accept this version, Section 23 is the controlling consumer dispute resolution agreement for the Site and replaces inconsistent general arbitration, class action, forum, or shortened-claim-deadline language in incorporated online policies. This does not eliminate accrued rights or retroactively change a prior agreement governing earlier events. Additional terms modify Section 23 only if they expressly identify that change and you separately affirmatively accept it, subject to Section 23.9 and applicable law.

Nothing here disclaims reliance on an express representation about a transaction, waives a claim for fraud or misrepresentation, or authorizes a misleading statement. There are no third-party beneficiaries except the Protected Parties to the limited extent expressly provided in Sections 19, 22, and 23, subject to the conditions of those sections. These Terms do not make a nonconsenting person a party merely because that person is mentioned in our content, visits a third-party platform, or sends a complaint.
