Terms and Conditions

1. Acceptance

By using workoptional.ai, subscribing to the East/West AI Insider, attending a WO Meetup or Masterclass, or applying to WO Capital, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the services.

2. About us

The services are operated by WorkOptional.ai LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, mailing address 767 Broadway, Suite 1888, New York, NY 10003.

3. Not investment advice

The newsletter, podcasts, interviews, books, Masterclass sessions, and anything else we publish are research and education. They are not investment advice, not an offer to sell securities, and not a solicitation to buy. We do not know your situation. Consult your own licensed advisors before deploying capital. Past performance, including SpaceX (2008) and Perplexity (2022) co-investments, does not guarantee future results.

4. WO Capital

WO Capital syndications are offered only to verified accredited investors as defined by Rule 501 of Regulation D and the SEC's amended definition. Deal memos are confidential. Forwarding them, posting them, or sharing them with non-accredited persons is a breach of these Terms and may also be a securities-law violation.

5. Masterclass and Meetups

Masterclass Bangkok (November 11-13, 2026) and WO Meetups are subject to admission at our discretion. We may decline or revoke admission to anyone who disrupts the program, violates venue policy, or misrepresents their credentials. Tickets are governed by the Refund Policy.

6. Newsletter and content

All written, audio, and video content on workoptional.ai and in the East/West AI Insider is copyright WorkOptional.ai LLC. You may quote up to 200 words with attribution and a link. Republishing full articles, training AI models on our content, or scraping the site requires written permission.

7. User submissions

If you send us a question, comment, or interview response, you grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to publish it with attribution. You retain ownership of your submission.

8. Acceptable use

Do not attempt to break, probe, or overload the site. Do not impersonate WorkOptional or its team. Do not use the services to send spam, harass anyone, or violate any law. We may terminate access for any of the above.

9. Disclaimers

The services are provided "as is" without warranties of any kind, express or implied. We do not warrant that the site will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure. Third-party links and data sources are provided for convenience and are not endorsed.

10. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, WorkOptional.ai LLC, its members, employees, contractors, and partners are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of the services. Our aggregate liability is capped at the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim, or USD 100 if you paid nothing.

11. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold WorkOptional harmless from claims arising out of your breach of these Terms, your misuse of the services, or your violation of any law.

12. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to conflicts of law. Disputes will be resolved by binding arbitration in New York, NY under the AAA Commercial Rules, except either party may seek injunctive relief in court to protect intellectual property.

13. Changes

We may update these Terms. The "Last updated" date at the top reflects the current version. Continued use after a change means you accept the new Terms.
