Last updated: September 24, 2026

These Terms of Service govern your use of the Trillions on the Table store, your purchase of products, and your use of the book and related materials. By using the Site or placing an order, you agree to these Terms.

1. Store and seller

This Shopify store is operated by Michael Noffsinger d/b/a Trillions on the Table ("we," "us," or "our").

We sell physical editions of Trillions on the Table and may also offer related resources, preorder bonuses, bulk purchases, sponsored-distribution programs, events, workshops, or other products and services.

2. Product information

We try to describe products, pricing, availability, preorder status, and shipping information accurately.

Product images are illustrative. Minor differences in color, printing, binding, packaging, or appearance may occur between digital images and the final physical product.

We may correct typographical, pricing, availability, or descriptive errors before an order is fulfilled, subject to applicable law. If a material correction affects an existing order, we will provide any notice or remedy required by law.

3. Preorders

Items identified as preorders are purchased before publication or fulfillment begins.

Your payment method is charged in full when you place the preorder.

The current expected preorder shipping window is November 16–30, 2026. The applicable product page, checkout, or Shipping & Preorder Policy will reflect the current shipping information before purchase.

If we determine that we cannot ship within the stated window, we will communicate with affected customers, provide updated timing, and explain the option to cancel the unshipped order for a full refund.

Unless separate terms are shown at checkout, an eligible preorder may be canceled for a full refund before the order enters fulfillment or is shipped, as described in our Refund & Return Policy.

4. Preorder pricing and bonuses

The store may offer lower pricing or additional benefits during the preorder period.

Preorder pricing, discounts, bonuses, event access, downloadable resources, or other promotional benefits may end or change when the preorder period ends.

If the Site states that the price will increase at launch, the price shown at checkout at the time of your order is the price that applies to that order.

Preorder bonuses are provided under the terms shown on the applicable product or promotion page and are not separately redeemable for cash.

We may substitute a substantially similar bonus, delivery format, date, or method if reasonably necessary, unless applicable law requires a different remedy.

5. Prices and payment

Prices are stated in U.S. dollars unless otherwise indicated.

Taxes, shipping charges, discounts, and other order-specific amounts will be shown at checkout when applicable.

You are responsible for providing accurate billing, payment, contact, and shipping information.

Payments are processed through Shopify and applicable payment providers. We do not store full payment-card numbers on our own systems.

6. Shipping and delivery

Shipping methods, charges, preorder timing, and delivery information are governed by our Shipping & Preorder Policy.

Carrier transit estimates begin after fulfillment and are estimates only, not guaranteed delivery dates.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not responsible for carrier delays, weather, service interruptions, theft after confirmed delivery, or delivery problems caused by an incorrect or incomplete address supplied by the customer.

7. Refunds and returns

Preorder cancellations, damaged or incorrect items, change-of-mind returns, and refund timing are governed exclusively by our Refund & Return Policy, except where applicable law requires otherwise.

Separate written terms may apply to large bulk, sponsored, corporate, partner, event, or custom orders.

8. Bulk and organizational orders

Orders of 5 or more copies may qualify for bulk pricing.

Large organizational, sponsored-distribution, partner, event, custom, or multi-address orders may require a separate quote, invoice, shipping arrangement, or written agreement.

If separate written terms are accepted for a specific order, those terms control over these general Terms to the extent of any conflict.

9. Educational information; no professional advice

Trillions on the Table and all related worksheets, prompts, briefings, events, examples, templates, checklists, commentary, and resources are provided solely for general educational and informational purposes.

They are not legal, tax, accounting, investment, financial, procurement, compliance, cybersecurity, or other professional advice.

No attorney-client, consultant-client, fiduciary, advisory, agency, partnership, joint-venture, or other professional relationship is created by purchasing, reading, accessing, or using the book, Site, or related materials.

Government contracting requirements vary by jurisdiction, agency, solicitation, contract, industry, time period, and factual circumstances. Laws, regulations, policies, procurement practices, public records, prices, market conditions, and technology may change.

You are solely responsible for obtaining qualified professional advice where appropriate, verifying current requirements, reviewing original source materials, and making your own legal, commercial, procurement, pricing, bidding, compliance, and business decisions.

10. No guarantee of accuracy, completeness, currency, or results

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we make no representation or warranty that the book, Site, AI-related materials, public-record examples, prompts, templates, data, links, references, or other content will be complete, error-free, current, suitable for your circumstances, or sufficient for any particular purpose.

Public records may be incomplete, delayed, inaccurate, superseded, or subject to interpretation. Artificial-intelligence systems may generate incorrect, incomplete, outdated, or fabricated information.

You are responsible for independently verifying information before relying on it.

Purchase or use of the book or related materials does not guarantee that you will win or retain a government contract, qualify for an opportunity, avoid disqualification, obtain funding, reduce costs, increase revenue, improve proposal scores, or achieve any particular business or financial result.

11. Assumption of risk and reliance

You voluntarily assume the risks associated with applying ideas, strategies, examples, prompts, templates, public-record research, AI outputs, procurement information, or other content from the book, Site, or related materials.

You agree that business, bidding, pricing, compliance, legal, regulatory, and procurement decisions are yours alone.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, you agree not to rely on the book, Site, or related materials as a substitute for your own diligence or advice from qualified professionals.

12. Intellectual property

The book, cover art, text, graphics, branding, downloadable materials, worksheets, prompts, templates, and other original content made available through this store are protected by copyright, trademark, and other applicable intellectual-property laws.

Purchasing a physical or digital product gives you the right to use that copy for your own lawful purposes. It does not transfer copyright or other ownership rights.

Except as permitted by law or expressly authorized in writing, you may not reproduce, distribute, republish, upload, sell, sublicense, commercially exploit, create unauthorized derivative commercial products from, or use protected materials to train or fine-tune an artificial-intelligence model.

Legitimate search-engine indexing, accessibility tools, and authorized commerce agents may interact with the Site through supported Shopify or commerce interfaces.

13. Acceptable use of the Site and materials

You may not:

• Violate applicable law.
• Submit fraudulent orders, payment information, refund requests, or chargeback claims.
• Attempt unauthorized access to the Site, customer information, or connected systems.
• Interfere with Site security, checkout, availability, or functionality.
• Use the Site or materials to infringe, misappropriate, or violate another person's rights.
• Redistribute protected materials in violation of these Terms.

14. One-way indemnification

To the fullest extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Michael Noffsinger d/b/a Trillions on the Table, and his affiliates, contractors, service providers, licensors, fulfillment providers, successors, and agents (collectively, the "Protected Parties") from and against third-party claims, demands, actions, proceedings, liabilities, damages, judgments, settlements, penalties, losses, and reasonable attorneys' fees and costs arising out of or relating to:

• Your breach of these Terms.
• Your unlawful, unauthorized, or infringing use of the Site, book, or related materials.
• Your violation of another person's rights.
• Content, information, instructions, or materials you submit or provide.
• Your fraud, willful misconduct, or misuse of products or materials.
• A third-party claim resulting from your independent business, bidding, procurement, compliance, pricing, AI, or other decisions based on your use or misuse of the materials.

Your indemnification obligation does not apply to the extent a claim results from conduct for which indemnification cannot lawfully be required.

The Protected Parties have the right, but not the obligation, to control the defense and settlement of an indemnified claim with counsel of their choosing. You may not settle a claim in a manner that admits wrongdoing by, imposes liability on, or creates obligations for a Protected Party without that Protected Party's written consent.

Except where applicable law expressly requires otherwise, the Protected Parties do not owe you any contractual duty to indemnify, defend, or hold you harmless.

15. Disclaimer of warranties

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE SITE, BOOK, PRODUCTS, DIGITAL MATERIALS, EVENTS, PROMPTS, TEMPLATES, INFORMATION, AND RELATED SERVICES ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, QUIET ENJOYMENT, AND ANY WARRANTIES ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE.

Nothing in these Terms excludes a warranty or consumer right that applicable law does not permit us to disclaim.

16. Exclusion of damages

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE PROTECTED PARTIES WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES; LOST PROFITS; LOST REVENUE; LOST BUSINESS; LOST DATA; LOST OPPORTUNITY; BID OR PROPOSAL COSTS; PROCUREMENT DISQUALIFICATION; LOSS OF A CONTRACT; REGULATORY OR COMPLIANCE COSTS; THIRD-PARTY CLAIMS; OR OTHER COMMERCIAL LOSSES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SITE, BOOK, PRODUCTS, MATERIALS, EVENTS, OR YOUR USE OF OR RELIANCE ON THEM, EVEN IF ADVISED THAT SUCH DAMAGES MAY OCCUR.

17. Limitation of liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF THE PROTECTED PARTIES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SITE, BOOK, PRODUCTS, MATERIALS, EVENTS, OR ANY ORDER IS ZERO DOLLARS ($0).

IF A ZERO-DOLLAR LIABILITY LIMIT IS HELD UNENFORCEABLE OR INAPPLICABLE TO A PARTICULAR CLAIM, THEN, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF THE PROTECTED PARTIES FOR THAT CLAIM WILL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT ACTUALLY PAID BY YOU TO US FOR THE SPECIFIC PRODUCT OR ORDER GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM.

The exclusions and limitations in these Terms apply regardless of the legal theory asserted, including contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, statute, or otherwise, and apply to the maximum extent permitted by law.

Nothing in these Terms limits or excludes liability that cannot legally be limited or excluded. California law, for example, does not permit a contract to exempt a party from responsibility for its own fraud, willful injury to another person or property, or violation of law where such an exemption is prohibited.

18. Release

To the fullest extent permitted by law, you release the Protected Parties from claims arising solely from your independent decision to apply, rely upon, modify, combine, or use information, strategies, prompts, templates, public records, AI outputs, or other educational materials in your own business, procurement, bidding, pricing, compliance, or legal affairs.

This release does not apply to claims that cannot lawfully be released or waived.

19. Third-party services and content

The Site relies on Shopify and may use third-party payment, fulfillment, email, analytics, shipping, AI, and other service providers.

Third-party websites, products, services, public records, agency systems, links, and platforms are controlled by their respective owners.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not responsible for the availability, accuracy, security, acts, omissions, policies, or performance of independent third parties.

20. No duty to update

Except where required by law or expressly promised in writing, we have no continuing duty to update the book or related materials after purchase to reflect later changes in law, regulation, procurement policy, technology, AI systems, public records, market conditions, or government practices.

21. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict-of-law principles, except where applicable consumer law requires otherwise.

Any dispute that is not subject to another legally required forum will be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction in California.

22. Severability and enforcement

If any provision of these Terms is held invalid, unlawful, unconscionable, or unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permitted by law and, where possible, narrowed rather than invalidated in its entirety. The remaining provisions will remain in effect.

Our failure to enforce a provision on one occasion does not waive the right to enforce it later.

23. Entire agreement and order of precedence

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, Refund & Return Policy, Shipping & Preorder Policy, product-page terms, and any separate written terms applicable to a specific order, form the agreement governing your purchase and use of the Site.

For a large bulk, sponsored, partner, event, or custom order, separately accepted written terms control over these general Terms to the extent of a direct conflict.

24. Privacy

Our collection and use of personal information are described in our Privacy Policy.

25. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms prospectively from time to time.

The version in effect when you place an order will govern that order unless applicable law requires otherwise.
