Last Updated: Aug 9th, 2025

Preamble & Rationale

The content, data, and intellectual property hosted on this website (“Site”) are the result of substantial investment, creativity, research, and development by Khmerlish (Raksa Lim , “Owner”). Unauthorized automated collection or reproduction of this material — whether for commercial, academic, research, or machine learning purposes — causes significant and irreparable harm, including but not limited to:

• Economic loss from unauthorized commercial use;

• Erosion of competitive advantage;

• Intellectual property theft;

• Dilution of brand identity;

• Exposure to privacy and security risks;

• Permanent incorporation of content into AI models that cannot be removed.

Given the unique and non-replicable nature of this material, such harm is difficult or impossible to fully quantify.

💡 Important Note:

• Liquidated damages clauses like the $1M per instance must be reasonable and defensible under law to be enforceable. Courts may strike down “penalty” clauses that are purely punitive rather than a good-faith estimate of damages. We can strengthen enforceability by explaining the rationale — e.g., stating that misuse could result in loss of revenue, brand damage, and legal exposure in ways that are costly to remedy.

• You should post this prominently (footer link + before sign-up) and require explicit consent for maximum enforceability.Ï
