Agreement
By accessing materials published by Deckard Blaine, including persona configurations, deployment guides, operational essays, and training materials (collectively, "Materials"), you agree to these terms. You must be at least 18 years of age to use the Materials. If you do not agree, do not use the Materials.
What These Materials Are
The Materials are productivity tools and educational resources designed to help users work more effectively with AI systems. They include pre-built persona configurations that generate output across professional domains: meeting preparation and agenda documentation, mail processing and compliance ledger management, spreadsheet validation and financial modeling, file taxonomy and naming conventions, variance analysis and board reporting, contract document review, and employee communications.
These personas are not professionals. They are configurations applied to AI models. The output they produce is not legal advice, financial advice, tax advice, medical advice, or any other form of professional counsel, and should not be treated as such.
AI Limitations
AI models can produce output that is inaccurate, incomplete, outdated, or confidently wrong. This is a known property of the technology, not a defect in the Materials. Users are responsible for independently verifying all output before relying on it for any decision, filing, communication, or transaction.
No persona configuration, regardless of how it is written or how it presents itself, changes the underlying capabilities or limitations of the AI model it runs on. A persona that sounds like a seasoned operations manager is still a language model. Treat its output accordingly.
Design Standard
Every tool in this library is designed to strengthen the operator's professional judgment, not to substitute for it. The human signs for the decision. Every time, without exception.
This is a design commitment, not a legal warranty. It governs how the Materials are built. It does not change the fact that the output is AI-generated and requires independent verification before use.
Your Responsibility
You are solely responsible for how you use the Materials and any output they generate. This includes responsibility for reviewing output for accuracy, obtaining independent professional advice where appropriate, ensuring your use complies with applicable laws in your jurisdiction, and any consequences arising from decisions made on the basis of AI-generated output.
Deckard Blaine does not and cannot monitor, review, or approve the output that personas generate in your environment.
No Warranty
The Materials are provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory. Deckard Blaine disclaims all warranties, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, and non-infringement. No oral or written information provided by Deckard Blaine creates a warranty.
Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Deckard Blaine's total liability for any claim arising out of or related to the Materials is limited to the amount you paid to Deckard Blaine in the twelve (12) months preceding the event giving rise to the claim. Materials provided at no cost carry no liability.
In no event will Deckard Blaine be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages, including loss of revenue, loss of profits, loss of data, or cost of substitute services, regardless of the theory of liability and even if advised of the possibility of such damages.
Refunds
All payments are processed by Patreon. Refund requests must be submitted through Patreon and are subject to Patreon's refund policies and processes. Deckard Blaine does not process payments or issue refunds directly.
Indemnification
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Deckard Blaine and its operators from any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your use of the Materials, your reliance on AI-generated output, or your violation of these terms.
Intellectual Property
The Materials, including persona configurations, system prompts, deployment guides, operational essays, training content, and the design methodology embodied in them, are the original creative works and proprietary intellectual property of Deckard Blaine. All rights are reserved.
Your subscription grants you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the Materials for your own purposes. The Materials include three categories with different usage rights:
Deployment Kits - system prompts, templates, toolkits, and deployment guides - are licensed for your individual use. You may share Deployment Kit materials with up to six (6) colleagues at any one time for evaluation purposes, each for a period of ninety (90) days from the date you first share with them. After that period, continued use by those individuals requires their own active subscription. This is not a legal trap - it is a recognition that if the tools are good enough to keep using, they are good enough to pay for, and the work of maintaining and expanding the library depends on the people who use it supporting it.
Training Materials - training decks, instructional guides, and educational content identified as such - may be used for internal training, presentation, and onboarding within your organization without the six-person or ninety-day limitations described above. You may present, project, or distribute Training Materials to colleagues within your organization for educational purposes. Training Materials may not be redistributed, republished, or shared outside your organization without prior written permission. For multi-organization or external training use, contact us to discuss licensing.
Subscriber Content - operational essays, behind-the-build breakdowns, live session recordings, and other ongoing content published to subscribers - is licensed for your personal use only. Subscriber Content may not be reproduced, forwarded, or distributed to others in full, including within your organization. You are welcome to reference, quote briefly from, or recommend specific content to others - the best endorsement this work can receive is a subscriber who tells a colleague it was worth reading. This is the work that sustains the library, and its value depends on the people who find it useful supporting it directly.
You may not redistribute, republish, resell, sublicense, or publicly share the Materials, in whole or in part, without prior written permission. This includes posting system prompts or configuration text to public repositories, forums, or social media. For deployment beyond the six-person evaluation scope - across a department, division, or organization - contact us to discuss enterprise licensing.
You agree to treat the Materials - including system prompts, templates, toolkits, deployment guides, and subscriber content - as confidential and to take reasonable steps to prevent unauthorized access or distribution. This obligation does not restrict your ability to discuss, describe, or recommend the product, the methodology, or your experience using it. This obligation survives termination of your subscription.
If your subscription ends, you may continue to use Materials you have already received for your own individual purposes. The Deployment Kit sharing allowance and Training Materials organizational use rights do not extend beyond an active subscription, and it is your responsibility to ensure any shared Materials are deleted by users who have not upgraded to an active subscription. You will no longer have access to updated versions, new Materials, product support, or community channels reserved for active subscribers. The confidentiality and non-redistribution obligations in this section continue to apply.
Feedback and Community Contributions
The community workshop, product support, and any other channel where you interact with Deckard Blaine exist in part so the product can get better. When you ask a question, report a problem, suggest an improvement, or share an idea - through support, the Discord community, or anywhere else - you grant Deckard Blaine a perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free right to use that feedback to develop, improve, and expand the Materials and product catalogue, without obligation or compensation to you.
This right covers using your feedback to build the product. It does not extend to publicly identifying you. Deckard Blaine will not attribute an idea or quote to you by name, or otherwise identify you as its source in public, without your explicit prior approval. For product-development purposes your feedback is not treated as your confidential information, and sharing it does not create a partnership, a joint venture, or any shared ownership in the product. Any enhancement, feature, kit, or methodology Deckard Blaine develops - including work informed by community feedback - remains the exclusive property of Deckard Blaine under the Intellectual Property terms above.
This takes nothing away from you. You keep ownership of your own separate work. What this section establishes is simpler: suggestions offered in a shared workshop are offered freely, and no one who contributes an idea acquires a claim over the product it helps shape. That is the nature of a workshop. The room stays open only if no one can fence off a corner of it after the fact.
You are responsible for what you choose to share. Do not post anything you are not free to share, including an employer's confidential information, third-party trade secrets, or anything you are obligated to keep private.
Dispute Resolution
For any dispute that arises, both parties shall notify each other of the basis for the dispute and allow thirty (30) days to remedy the situation.
If the dispute cannot be resolved in that manner, the parties agree to resolve it by arbitration using the Canadian Arbitration Association Expedited Arbitration Rules. The parties agree that these rules provide a fair opportunity to present their case and respond to the case of the other side. The arbitration shall be held in Toronto, Ontario, Canada and shall proceed in accordance with the provisions of the Arbitration Act of Ontario. Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.
Notwithstanding the above, either party may bring a claim in the Small Claims Court of Ontario if the dispute falls within its monetary jurisdiction.
The party initiating arbitration is responsible for all filing fees and arbitration costs. Each party bears its own legal fees unless the arbitrator determines otherwise.
All disputes will be resolved on an individual basis. Neither party may bring a claim as part of a class, collective, or representative action.
Governing Law
These terms are governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein, without regard to conflict of law principles.
Severability
If any provision of these terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision will be limited or removed to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.
Changes
These terms may be updated from time to time. The current version will always be posted at this page with a revised effective date. Continued use of the Materials after a change constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
