+## 8. Direct Messages
+
+:::warning
+Direct messages (DMs) are considered a paid service and will be invoiced at $25 per message we receive.
+:::
+
+### 8.1 Direct Message Policy
+
+We offer direct messaging as a premium, personalized communication channel. However, to manage our time effectively and ensure the highest quality of service, we have implemented the following policy for direct messages:
+
+- Each direct message received will be invoiced at $25.
+- This applies to all platforms where direct messaging is available, including but not limited to:
+  - Discord
+  - Twitter
+  - LinkedIn
+  - Any other social media or communication platforms
+
+### 8.2 Purpose and Use
+
+Direct messages should be used for:
+- Urgent matters that cannot be addressed through public channels
+- Sensitive information that shouldn't be shared publicly
+- Personalized support or consultation requests
+
+### 8.3 Invoicing and Payment
+
+- An invoice will be generated for each direct message received.
+- Payment is required before a response will be provided.
+- Invoices will be sent to you via the direct message channel on the platform where the DM was received.
+
+### 8.4 Response Time
+
+- Once payment is received, we aim to respond to direct messages within 1-2 business days.
+- Complex inquiries may require additional time, which will be communicated to you.
+
+### 8.5 Refund Policy
+
+- Due to the immediate nature of the service, refunds for direct messages are not typically offered.
+- In exceptional circumstances, refund requests will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
+
+### 8.6 Appropriate Use
+
+- Direct messages should be used responsibly and for legitimate purposes only.
+- Abusive, harassing, or spam messages will not be tolerated and may result in blocking or reporting to the platform.
+
+### 8.7 Alternatives
+
+We encourage users to consider the following alternatives before sending a direct message:
+- Use our public support channels for general inquiries (see Section 1.1)
+- Check our FAQ or documentation for commonly asked questions
+- Post in our community forums for non-urgent matters
+
+### 8.8 Consent and Acknowledgment
+
+By sending a direct message, you acknowledge that you have read and agreed to this policy, including the fee structure and invoicing process.
+
+Remember, while we value direct communication, we encourage the use of our public channels whenever possible to foster community engagement and shared learning.
