By creating an account, you appoint Aftera to provide digital asset organization, notary-adjacent document tooling, and policy-bound execution services according to the selected plan. Account creation requires accurate identity information and ongoing responsibility for credential security. You must promptly update material changes to identity status, jurisdiction, and authorized representatives. Failure to maintain accurate account data can delay or limit service delivery, particularly in high-assurance workflows.

Aftera may require additional verification before enabling specific functions, including transfer-oriented actions, heir permission changes, and execution manifest activation. These checks are designed to protect users and heirs from unauthorized activity and are part of the core value proposition. Refusal to complete required verification may result in restricted access to high-risk features while preserving access to low-risk planning functions.

You are responsible for ensuring that instructions stored in the platform are lawful, coherent, and compatible with your jurisdictional obligations. Aftera provides tooling and workflow support, but does not replace personal legal advice for complex or contested estate structures. Users with multi-jurisdiction holdings are encouraged to validate instruction compatibility with qualified counsel. Platform safeguards reduce operational risk but do not eliminate legal complexity across all possible edge cases.

Account authority is non-transferable except through documented legal pathways. Shared household or enterprise usage requires distinct authorized profiles where available. Unauthorized credential sharing is prohibited because it weakens auditability and creates liability ambiguity. Where suspicious account activity is detected, Aftera may suspend high-risk capabilities pending verification. Such suspension is a protective measure and does not waive rights or obligations under these terms.

Aftera is responsible for operating the platform with commercially reasonable care, maintaining security controls, and executing eligible instructions according to documented protocols. However, outcomes can depend on third-party institutions, network conditions, legal disputes, and external API reliability. Aftera is not responsible for delays or failures caused solely by external entities outside reasonable platform control, provided we continue to pursue documented escalation and recovery procedures.

In cases where an execution action is performed contrary to validated instruction state due to platform fault, Aftera will investigate, provide evidence, and apply remediation consistent with law and contract. Remediation may include corrective operational action, fee adjustments, or other measures appropriate to the incident context. Liability handling is evidence-driven and cannot rely on unaudited claims alone. Users agree to cooperate with incident triage by providing relevant context where needed.

Indirect, speculative, or consequential damages may be limited to the extent permitted by law, especially where claims are disconnected from direct platform breach of duty. Nothing in these terms excludes non-waivable rights under applicable consumer or fiduciary regulation. In jurisdictions where exclusions are restricted, terms are interpreted to the narrowest enforceable scope. The objective is legal clarity, not avoidance of accountability.

Service interruptions may occur during maintenance, security events, or infrastructure incidents. Aftera designs for high availability but does not guarantee uninterrupted operation at all times. During critical incidents, high-risk commands may be temporarily paused to prevent erroneous execution. Such pauses are protective controls and may continue until trust state is restored. Status communications are provided through designated support and trust channels.

Users may terminate their account subject to legal retention obligations and pending execution responsibilities. Termination requests are recorded and processed with identity verification. Certain records may be retained where necessary for legal compliance, fraud prevention, or defense of claims. Retained records remain scope-limited and protected under platform security controls.

Aftera may suspend or terminate accounts for material breach, fraud, unlawful activity, or persistent abuse of service channels. When feasible, notice and remediation options are provided before termination. Immediate termination may occur where ongoing access presents material security or legal risk. Termination does not erase obligations accrued prior to termination, including due fees and compliance duties.

Disputes should first be raised through designated support channels to allow evidence-based resolution. If unresolved, disputes proceed under the governing law and forum indicated in your service agreement and jurisdiction-specific disclosures. Both parties agree to preserve relevant evidence and cooperate in good faith during review. This process is intended to reduce escalation by prioritizing factual, auditable analysis.

These terms may be updated to reflect legal changes, security requirements, or service evolution. Material updates are communicated with reasonable notice and effective dates. Continued use after the effective date indicates acceptance, except where law grants additional consent rights. Archived term versions are retained so users and representatives can verify which terms applied at any given time.
