Terms of Service.

Last updated: 2026

Paprika is a media, visibility, and evidence-support company. Paprika is not a law firm and does not provide immigration legal advice, legal representation, or visa filing services.

1. Nature of services

Paprika provides press coordination, judging-opportunity introductions, scholarly article coordination, profile assessment, evidence-strategy planning, and immigration-counsel referrals. These are non-legal professional services.

2. "Attorney-curated" defined

References to "attorney-curated" mean that evidence-building services are reviewed for general immigration-evidence relevance by licensed legal professionals or legally trained reviewers. The phrase does not mean that Paprika provides legal advice through these services, that an attorney-client relationship is created, or that any specific O-1 outcome is being guaranteed or implied.

3. No attorney-client relationship

Use of Paprika's services does not create an attorney-client relationship between you and Paprika or between you and any reviewer affiliated with Paprika. Communications with Paprika team members and reviewers are not covered by attorney-client privilege through Paprika.

4. Independent immigration counsel

O-1 eligibility, petition strategy, petitioner and agent matters, and filing decisions should be reviewed by independent immigration counsel. Paprika can connect clients with experienced immigration attorneys upon request — these connections are referrals, not legal services provided by Paprika.

5. No outcome guarantees

No press, judging, authorship, or visibility service can guarantee visa approval or USCIS acceptance of any evidence. Where Paprika expressly states a placement-delivery guarantee for a specific package, that guarantee is limited to the publication deliverable described in the engagement letter — it does not extend to immigration outcomes, legal eligibility, or USCIS evidentiary weight.

6. Editorial integrity

Paprika does not purchase editorial placements and does not represent contributor or sponsored content as editorial coverage. All press outreach is editorial in nature. Where an outlet permits paid sponsorship or contributor sections, Paprika does not place clients there in the course of O-1 evidence engagements.

7. Client representations

Clients represent that information provided in intake — including credentials, prior press, judging history, and authorship — is accurate. Paprika may decline or terminate engagements if material misrepresentations are identified.

8. Fees and refunds

Engagement-specific fees, milestones, and refund terms are set out in the individual engagement letter signed by both parties. Placement-guarantee refunds, where applicable, apply only to the unpublished placement fee, not to engagement-wide costs.

9. Confidentiality

Paprika treats client profiles, intake materials, and engagement details as confidential. We do not share client information with third parties except as necessary to coordinate the agreed services (e.g., communicating with editors, panel organizers, or referred attorneys with client authorization).

10. Limitation of liability

Paprika's liability under any engagement is limited to the fees actually paid for that engagement. Paprika is not liable for indirect, consequential, or speculative damages, including but not limited to denied or delayed immigration outcomes.

11. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California. Any dispute arising under these Terms shall be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located in San Francisco, California.

12. Changes

Paprika may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be communicated to active clients via email. Continued use of Paprika services following an update constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
