# Legal Copy Alignment Matrix

This matrix prevents drift between public surfaces and legal posture.

| Surface | Required Message | Prohibited Message |
|---|---|---|
| Landing (`public/index.html`) | Wallet signature + paid membership unlocks access | Investment, yield, appreciation claims |
| Store (`public/store/index.html`) | Membership required for purchasing offers | "Membership includes all products forever" |
| Terms (`public/terms/index.html`) | Membership is utility access; licenses separate; internal-use boundary rights by default | Equity/ownership implications or sublicensing-by-default claims |
| Privacy (`public/privacy/index.html`) | Wallet/signature processing and app-channel member communication model | Hidden collection claims inconsistent with implementation |
| Vision/spec docs | Deterministic governance and fail-closed controls | Speculative financial framing |

## Hard Rules

1. Membership language must always distinguish access rights from license rights.
2. Any copy introducing financial upside claims is blocked.
3. Any change to legal-critical copy requires review against this matrix.
4. First checkout totals must disclose line-item composition when membership activation is bundled.
5. Copy must not imply resale, sublicensing, or service-bureau rights unless explicitly licensed.
6. Copy must not imply direct admin/support access for non-owner member roles.
