Because BeaconIR is used to publish investor-facing disclosures, all Customers bear specific obligations under applicable securities laws. BeaconIR does not review, approve, or validate the legal compliance of any Customer Content before publication. Customers are solely responsible for ensuring all disclosures meet applicable legal requirements. Specific obligations include:

• —All press releases and public disclosures must comply with applicable securities laws in every jurisdiction where investors receiving or viewing the content are located.

• —Fees paid are non-refundable upon suspension or termination resulting from violations of this AUP.
• —BeaconIR cooperates with law enforcement agencies and regulatory authorities and may disclose Customer information as required or authorized by legal process, court order, or regulatory demand.
