The Selection Diagnostic (Quiz)
The Selection Diagnostic is a free assessment that names a selection-pattern archetype based on your answers. It is offered for informational and marketing purposes. Results are generated from your inputs and a fixed scoring model; they do not constitute professional advice.
Educational Use Only
The book, the bonuses, the SAI+ tool, and the diagnostic are offered for educational and informational purposes only. They are not a substitute for professional advice (legal, medical, psychological, or therapeutic). You are solely responsible for any decisions you make based on the content.

8. Privacy
Your privacy is important to us. Our collection and use of personal information is governed by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. By using the Service, you consent to our collection and use of information as described there.
9. Third-Party Services
The Service relies on and links to third-party services, including Stripe (payments), Vercel (hosting), Neon (database), Resend (email), and OpenAI's ChatGPT platform (for the SAI+ tool). Your use of those services is governed by their respective terms and privacy policies.

11. Limitation of Liability

OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID FOR YOUR PURCHASE IN THE TWELVE MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages, so some of the above limitations may not apply to you.
12. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Prospect Connect Media LLC, its officers, employees, and agents from any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or relating to:
- Your use of the Service

- Your violation of any third-party rights
- Your redistribution of the book, audiobook, or bonus files
13. Dispute Resolution and Arbitration
Informal Resolution First
Before filing any formal claim, you agree to contact us at theo@theselectionstandard.com and attempt to resolve the dispute informally. We will respond within 30 days and work in good faith to resolve the issue.
Binding Arbitration
If informal resolution does not succeed, any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service will be resolved by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Consumer Arbitration Rules. The arbitration will take place in Delaware, in English, and will be decided by a single arbitrator.
Class Action Waiver
You and Prospect Connect Media LLC agree that disputes will be resolved on an individual basis and not as part of a class, consolidated, or representative action. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims and may not preside over any form of representative or class proceeding.
Exception for Small Claims
Either party may bring an individual action in small-claims court for any dispute within that court's jurisdiction, instead of arbitration.
Opt-Out
You may opt out of this arbitration agreement within 30 days of your purchase by emailing theo@theselectionstandard.com with the subject line “Arbitration Opt-Out” and including your full name and the email address used at checkout.
14. Governing Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. Any disputes not subject to arbitration will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Delaware, and you consent to personal jurisdiction in those courts.
15. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. For material changes, we will provide at least 30 days' notice via email to the address associated with your purchase or via a prominent notice on the site. Your continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
If you do not agree to a change, your remedy is to stop using the Service and request a refund within the 90-day window (if your purchase is within that window).
16. General Provisions
Entire Agreement
These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and any other agreements expressly incorporated by reference, constitute the entire agreement between you and Prospect Connect Media LLC regarding the Service.
Severability
If any provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.
No Waiver
Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not be considered a waiver of that right or provision.
Assignment
You may not assign or transfer these Terms or your rights under them without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms without restriction.
Force Majeure
We will not be liable for any delay or failure to perform resulting from causes outside our reasonable control, including acts of God, natural disasters, war, terrorism, civil unrest, government actions, labour disputes, or internet or infrastructure failures.
