Digital Content Terms & Conditions

1. About Us and Scope of These Terms

These Digital Content Terms and Conditions ("Terms") govern your access to and use of Digital Content made available by Maestra Tech Ltd ("Maestra Tech", "we", "us", or "our"), including content published on maestra-tech.com, distributed by email, shared via LinkedIn or other professional channels, or provided directly to clients and prospective clients.

By downloading, accessing, or using any Digital Content produced by Maestra Tech, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, you must not access or use the Digital Content.

These Terms apply in addition to our Website Terms and Conditions (MT-POL-WTC-001) where content is accessed via the website. In the event of any conflict between these Terms and the Website T&Cs, these Digital Content Terms prevail in respect of Digital Content.

2. Definitions

3. Nature of Maestra Tech Digital Content

3.1 Content Categories

3.2 Information Only

All Digital Content produced by Maestra Tech is provided for general information and educational purposes only. It does not constitute legal, regulatory, or compliance advice specific to your organisation, a guarantee of any particular deliverability, authentication, or security outcome, or a comprehensive statement of applicable law, regulation, or inbox provider requirements at any given time.

The email security and deliverability landscape changes rapidly. Content accurate at the time of publication may be superseded. You are responsible for verifying current requirements with the relevant authority.

4. Licence Grant

4.1 Grant of Licence

Subject to your compliance with these Terms, Maestra Tech grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable, royalty-free licence to access and use Digital Content solely for the Permitted Purpose. This Licence does not transfer any ownership of or title in the Digital Content, and may be revoked at any time if you breach these Terms.

4.2 Scope of Permitted Use

Under this Licence, you may:

• Download, save, and print a reasonable number of copies of written Digital Content for your own internal reference and business use
• Share a link to publicly available Digital Content hosted on the Maestra Tech website with colleagues or third parties
• Quote brief excerpts (not exceeding 150 words per document) in internal documents, presentations, or reports, provided you clearly attribute the content to Maestra Tech Ltd and include the source URL or publication date
• Watch or listen to video or audio content for the Permitted Purpose
• Share newsletter content internally with colleagues within your organisation

4.3 Prohibited Uses

You must not, without Maestra Tech's prior written consent:

• Reproduce, republish, upload, post, transmit, or distribute any Digital Content in any medium, including on your own website, in published articles, or in client-facing materials
• Resell, sublicence, or otherwise commercially exploit any Digital Content or any derivative of it
• White-label, rebrand, or present Maestra Tech's Digital Content as your own work or as the work of any third party
• Modify, adapt, translate, or create derivative works based on Digital Content, except as strictly necessary for internal reference purposes
• Use Digital Content — in whole or in part — as training data, fine-tuning data, or retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) source material for any artificial intelligence or machine learning model, whether your own or a third party's
• Scrape, crawl, or systematically extract Digital Content using automated tools
• Share, distribute, or forward Paid Content to any person who has not purchased access
• Remove, obscure, or alter any copyright notice, trade mark, attribution, or other proprietary marking from any Digital Content

5. Intellectual Property Rights

All Digital Content is and remains the intellectual property of Maestra Tech Ltd. Copyright in all written, visual, audio, and interactive content produced by Maestra Tech subsists automatically on creation under the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988. Maestra Tech asserts its moral right to be identified as the author of all original works under sections 77 and 78 of the CDPA 1988.

The Maestra Tech name, logo, visual identity, and domain assets are protected under the Trade Marks Act 1994 and/or as unregistered trade marks. Nothing in these Terms transfers any intellectual property rights to you.

5.1 Background IP

Digital Content is based on Maestra Tech's Background IP — including its methodologies for email authentication assessment, DMARC policy progression frameworks, deliverability audit approaches, and accumulated know-how. Access to Digital Content does not grant you any right in or to that Background IP beyond what is expressly stated in Section 4.

5.2 Feedback and Contributions

If you provide feedback, suggestions, or comments about any Maestra Tech Digital Content, you grant Maestra Tech a perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free licence to use that feedback for any purpose, including improving future Digital Content. We will not identify you as the source of feedback without your consent.

6. Artificial Intelligence and Digital Content

6.1 Maestra Tech's Use of AI in Content Production

Maestra Tech may use artificial intelligence tools to assist in researching, drafting, or formatting Digital Content. Where AI tools are used, we apply the following standards:

• AI-generated drafts are always reviewed, edited, and approved by a Maestra Tech professional before publication
• We do not publish AI-generated content that has not been subject to human review and validation against current technical standards
• We do not use AI tools trained on confidential client data to produce publicly available Digital Content
• Where AI tools are used for research or summarisation, we verify key facts and figures against primary sources

6.2 Prohibition on AI Training Use

You must not use Maestra Tech Digital Content — in whole or in part — as input to, training data for, or retrieval source for any artificial intelligence or machine learning system, including large language models, embedding models, or retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) pipelines, without Maestra Tech's prior written consent.

This prohibition applies regardless of whether the AI system is operated by you, by a third party on your behalf, or by any commercial AI provider. Maestra Tech reserves the right to seek injunctive relief and damages under the CDPA 1988 against any person who uses its Digital Content for AI training purposes without authorisation.

7. Gated Content and Registration

Certain Digital Content is made available only upon submission of an enquiry form, provision of a business email address, or other registration step. By submitting your details to access Gated Content, you confirm that you are acting in a business or professional capacity, the information you provide is accurate, and you consent to Maestra Tech processing your personal data in accordance with our Privacy Policy (MT-POL-PRV-001).

Providing your details to access Gated Content does not create a contract for services between you and Maestra Tech. We do not sell, rent, or share registration data with third parties for their own marketing purposes.

8. Paid Digital Content

8.1 Applicability

Maestra Tech does not currently offer Paid Content. This section sets out the terms that will apply if and when Paid Content is introduced. This document will be updated when Paid Content becomes available.

8.2 B2B Context and Consumer Rights

Any Paid Content offered by Maestra Tech will be directed at business purchasers only. The Consumer Rights Act 2015 (Parts 1 and 3) and the Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024 (Chapter 4 subscription contract cancellation rights) do not apply to B2B Paid Content.

9. Newsletter and Subscription Content

Maestra Tech may operate one or more email newsletters or content subscription services:

• Subscription is voluntary and based on freely given, specific consent under PECR 2003 as amended by the DUAA 2025
• Every newsletter includes a clearly visible and functional unsubscribe link; you may withdraw consent at any time
• Unsubscribe requests will be processed within five (5) business days
• Newsletter content is subject to the same licence terms as other Digital Content under Section 4; you may not republish, forward to mailing lists, or commercially distribute newsletter content without permission
• Maestra Tech reserves the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any newsletter at any time without liability

10. Third-Party Tools and Resources Referenced in Digital Content

Maestra Tech's Digital Content frequently references or recommends third-party tools, platforms, and resources. Such references are included for information and convenience only, and do not constitute an endorsement, recommendation, or warranty. They were accurate at the time of publication; tool availability, pricing, and functionality change without notice. Where Maestra Tech has a commercial relationship with any tool referenced in Digital Content, this will be disclosed. As of the effective date of these Terms, Maestra Tech does not receive commission or payment for tool references in its published content.

11. Disclaimer and Limitation of Liability

11.1 Content Provided As Is

Maestra Tech provides Digital Content on an "as is" basis. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, we exclude all warranties, representations, and conditions in relation to Digital Content, whether express, implied, or statutory, including any implied warranty of satisfactory quality, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, or non-infringement.

11.2 No Liability for Reliance

Maestra Tech is not liable for any loss, damage, or expense arising from your reliance on Digital Content without seeking independent professional advice or engaging Maestra Tech under a formal agreement, any inaccuracy or obsolescence in Digital Content, or any decision made or action taken on the basis of Digital Content.

11.3 Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Maestra Tech's total liability in connection with any Digital Content shall not exceed the amount paid by you for that specific content. In the case of Free Content, Maestra Tech's total liability shall not exceed £100. Neither party shall be liable for any indirect, consequential, special, punitive, or exemplary loss or damage.

11.4 Mandatory Rights

Nothing in these Terms limits or excludes Maestra Tech's liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or any other liability that cannot be lawfully excluded under the laws of England and Wales.

12. Data Protection

The collection and processing of personal data in connection with your access to Digital Content is governed by our Privacy Policy (MT-POL-PRV-001), which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. We process registration data on the basis of legitimate interests or consent, in accordance with UK GDPR and the Data (Use and Access) Act 2025. Full details of your rights are in our Privacy Policy.

13. Regulatory and Legal Compliance

14. Breach and Enforcement

If you breach these Terms, Maestra Tech reserves the right to immediately revoke your Licence, issue a formal cease and desist notice, apply for injunctive relief, claim damages under the CDPA 1988, and report conduct constituting a criminal offence under the Digital Economy Act 2017 (online copyright infringement carrying up to 10 years' imprisonment) to the Police Intellectual Property Crime Unit (PIPCU) or other relevant authority. Maestra Tech will in the first instance attempt to resolve a breach informally.

15. Changes to These Terms and Digital Content

Maestra Tech may update these Terms at any time by publishing a revised version on our website. Your continued access to Digital Content after revised Terms are published constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms. Maestra Tech may update, amend, withdraw, or replace any Digital Content at any time without notice. Where Paid Content is withdrawn before the end of the stated access period, we will offer a pro-rata refund.

16. General Provisions

16.1 Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with our Website Terms and Conditions, Privacy Policy, and Anti-Piracy and Intellectual Property Policy (MT-POL-PIP-001), constitute the entire agreement between you and Maestra Tech in relation to Digital Content.

16.2 Severability

If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, that provision shall be deemed deleted and the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.

16.3 Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with them are governed by the laws of England and Wales. The courts of England and Wales shall have exclusive jurisdiction.

16.4 Alternative Dispute Resolution

If you have a dispute relating to Digital Content, please contact us at [email protected] in the first instance and we will endeavour to resolve it informally. As these Terms govern B2B access to Digital Content, DMCCA 2024 Chapter 4 ADR provisions for consumer contracts do not apply here.
