17. Order of Precedence

Apollo Companion is governed by a suite of policies and bilateral agreements. In the event of a conflict between documents, the following order of precedence applies (highest to lowest):

  1. Signed bilateral agreements for specific relationships — the Contractor & Endorsement Agreement (for contractors) and the Builder Feature & Content Sharing Agreement (for featured creators) each govern their respective relationship and take precedence over these Terms for matters within their scope.
  2. These Terms of Service — apply generally to all platform users.
  3. Privacy Policy — controls all personal data handling.
  4. Supporting policies by topic — the Acceptable Use Policy, Community Guidelines, UGC Content License Policy, AI Usage & Disclaimer Policy, Cookie Policy, Data Deletion Policy, and DMCA Policy each govern their respective subject matter.
  5. Beta Terms of Service (during the beta period only) — supplemental to these Terms.
  6. Welcome Letter — informational only; does not supersede any signed agreement.

Where a specific policy or agreement addresses a subject in greater detail, it governs for that subject without contradiction of these Terms.
