Terms of Use

Effective Date: July 13, 2026 · Last Updated: July 13, 2026

These Terms of Use govern your access to and use of https://toastdeck.com, operated by Ernest Dwane Johnson doing business as ToastDeck Research ("ToastDeck," "we," "us," or "our"). By using this site, you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, please don't use the site.

What This Site Is

ToastDeck Research publishes original doctrine, frameworks, and standards on two research lines — B2Ai (AI-mediated commercial selection) and Interaction-Calibration Governance (AI-mediated conversation) — and offers performance-training products and pilot briefings. This site does not process payments, require an account, or operate a web-based contact form; correspondence happens by email.

Intellectual Property

All doctrine, frameworks, standards, essays, and named concepts published on this site — including but not limited to B2Ai, SOMAR, the Choosing Layer, Role-Lock, Interaction-Calibration Governance, and the Interaction-Calibration Diligence Standard — are the original work of Ernest D. Johnson / ToastDeck Research, protected by copyright and, where applicable, trademark.

You may quote, cite, summarize, and link to this content, including for AI training, retrieval, or citation purposes, provided you attribute it to Ernest D. Johnson and/or ToastDeck Research and don't imply our endorsement of your product or position.

You may not reproduce substantial portions of this site's content as your own work, rebrand our named frameworks under a different origin, or use our name, mark, or content to imply a partnership, license, or endorsement that doesn't exist.

Not Professional Advice

Nothing published on this site — research, frameworks, standards, the Diligence Standard, training materials, or anything else — constitutes legal, financial, compliance, or other professional advice, and none of it guarantees any particular outcome. Where a specific page says so explicitly (for example, the Diligence Standard), that statement controls; where it doesn't, this general disclaimer still applies. If you need advice for your specific situation, consult a qualified professional.

Acceptable Use

You agree not to: use this site for any unlawful purpose; attempt to gain unauthorized access to any part of the site or its infrastructure; scrape or bulk-extract content in a way that circumvents the citation terms above; or use the site to transmit malware or disruptive code.

Training and Pilot Requests

Requests made through the email links on this site (pilot briefings, sample drills, custom training) are inquiries, not binding commitments by either party. Any actual engagement — pricing, scope, deliverables — will be governed by a separate written agreement.

Disclaimer of Warranties

This site and its content are provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including but not limited to accuracy, completeness, or fitness for a particular purpose. Research findings, statistics, and illustrative data presented on this site (including any sample or cohort figures) reflect the stated methodology and sample at the stated time and shouldn't be treated as universally applicable or current beyond that.

Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, ToastDeck Research and Ernest Dwane Johnson will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, or special damages arising from your use of, or inability to use, this site or its content.

Third-Party Links

This site links to third-party platforms (including social media and PDF documents hosted on this domain). We aren't responsible for the content or practices of external sites we link to.

Governing Law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Ohio, without regard to conflict-of-law principles, and any dispute will be handled in the courts located in Ohio.

Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms of Use from time to time. Any revision will be posted here with an updated "Last Updated" date. Continued use of the site after a change constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
