U.S. State Law Addendum

State-specific rights, mandatory-law savings rules, privacy, youth-work, biometric, and subscription supplements.

1. Purpose and mandatory-law rule

This U.S. State Law Addendum supplements the MORT Terms, Privacy Policy, Arbitration Agreement, Verification Privacy Notice, and Paid Services Terms for residents or transactions subject to particular state law. It is not a representation that every MORT marketplace feature is activated in every state. If a mandatory state right conflicts with another MORT term, the mandatory state right controls to the extent of the conflict.

2. All fifty states: youth work

MORT treats youth-work eligibility as jurisdiction-sensitive. Relevant rules may include minimum age, occupation restrictions, school-day and school-week hours, non-school hours, night-work windows, hazardous occupations, employment or age certificates, school authorization, parental permission, wage requirements, and supervision. Federal, state, and local law may overlap; MORT may apply the more protective restriction. A listing, verification badge, or platform eligibility result is not legal clearance.

States in scope: Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming.

3. All fifty states: security incidents

Every state has security-breach notification requirements. MORT preserves state-specific timing, content, regulator, consumer-reporting-agency, encryption, risk-of-harm, and other mandatory requirements instead of promising one national deadline.

4. State privacy laws

Where applicable, MORT preserves rights under comprehensive privacy regimes, including rights that may apply in California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maryland, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Oregon, Rhode Island, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, and any other state whose law becomes applicable. Rights may include confirmation, access, correction, deletion, portability, opt-out, consent withdrawal, appeal, authorized-agent, targeted-advertising, sale or sharing, profiling, and sensitive-data protections.

5. California

Where applicable, California residents retain CCPA/CPRA rights to access, deletion, correction, qualifying sale or sharing opt-out, sensitive-information limitations, non-discrimination, and authorized-agent procedures. MORT will honor Global Privacy Control where legally required. California's special consent rules concerning sale or sharing of personal information of people under 16 remain protected; MORT's ordinary Teen User baseline is not to sell Teen User personal information for money or use Teen User data for cross-context behavioral advertising. California Automatic Renewal Law rights apply to covered recurring services. Nothing in MORT's dispute terms eliminates public injunctive relief where California law makes such relief nonwaivable.

6. Colorado

Where applicable, Colorado residents retain Colorado Privacy Act rights and covered recurring-service protections, including legally required disclosures, acknowledgments, cancellation methods, and notices.

7. Illinois biometric information

Where the Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act applies, MORT will provide the required written notice of biometric collection or storage, disclose purpose and term, obtain the legally required written release before collection, maintain the required retention and destruction policy, not sell, lease, trade, or otherwise profit from biometric identifiers or biometric information as prohibited, restrict disclosures, and use the required standard of care for storage and protection.

For covered Illinois biometric data, MORT's public destruction schedule is the earlier of satisfaction of the collection purpose or 3 years after the individual's last interaction with MORT, subject to legally controlling process.

8. Texas biometric information

Where Texas biometric law applies, MORT will provide legally required notice and obtain consent before commercial capture of covered biometric identifiers and will comply with applicable disclosure, retention, destruction, and protection restrictions.

9. Washington biometric information

Where Washington biometric law applies, MORT will comply with legally required notice or consent for biometric enrollment, permitted-use, disclosure, retention, security, and consumer-protection requirements.

10. Vermont recurring contracts

Where Vermont law applies to a covered automatically renewing consumer contract, MORT preserves applicable affirmative opt-in, disclosure, reminder, and cancellation requirements.

11. Other state rights

This Addendum is not an exhaustive catalogue of every state wage, worker-classification, youth-work, privacy, biometric, consumer-protection, subscription, health-data, security, contract, or safety law. A mandatory right not specifically named remains protected. MORT may update this Addendum prospectively as laws and product operations change.
