2. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using our website, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service.

3. User Account

Our website uses Ghost, with Stripe handling subscription payments. We don't control third-party platforms' security procedures; however, they're known for robust measures. Yet, it's crucial for you to maintain your account's confidentiality, especially your password. Your data, which won't be shared without consent, will be deleted once not needed or upon account termination.

4. Subscriptions

Our platform offers free and paid subscriptions, each with its unique pricing and benefits. Paid subscribers enjoy additional perks detailed on our "Subscribe" page, enhancing their user experience beyond the basic features available to free subscribers.

5. Intellectual Property Rights

While we enthusiastically endorse the sharing of our content, it's important to clarify what this means. Sharing refers to actions such as directing others to our website, sharing our website's links, or recommending our content to others. The content remains on our platform, preserving its integrity and context.

However, unauthorized reproduction and distribution, which involve copying our content (either in part or in full) and redistributing it on different platforms or mediums, are entirely different actions and are strictly prohibited. These actions can lead to the decontextualization, misinterpretation, or misuse of our content, and potential infringement of our copyright. Therefore, reselling, modifying, or any form of unauthorized reproduction and distribution of our content are strictly prohibited.

6. User Conduct

We uphold the expectation that all users, regardless of their subscription status, will maintain a standard of politeness and relevance in their comments. This includes staying on topic, refraining from posting unrelated or promotional links, and not engaging in disruptive behavior such as spamming, trolling, or harassment. These rules apply to everyone in our community, whether they are free users, paid subscribers, or public viewers. Non-compliance with these guidelines may result in consequences, including the removal of certain benefits or privileges, irrespective of whether the user has a paid subscription.

7. Privacy Policy

We are committed to protecting your privacy. We collect, store, use, and manage your personal information in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. The information we collect may include personal details such as your name, email address, and other necessary details. This information will solely be used to provide and improve our services and will not be shared with third parties without your explicit consent. You have the right to access, correct, or delete your personal information at any time.

8. Limitation of Liability

Our website is a platform where we provide various forms of content. However, it is important to note that nothing presented on our website should be interpreted as financial advice. Our intention is to act in good faith and provide useful information to our users. We, however, cannot take responsibility for any false declarations or misinformation provided by third parties. While we strive to ensure accuracy and reliability, we strongly recommend that our users conduct their own research and due diligence when considering making any acquisitions based on the content available on our platform. This will ensure that your individual circumstances and risk appetite are taken into account, facilitating a more informed decision-making process.

9. Termination of Service

We highly value our relationship with you and it is our utmost priority to provide you with quality service. However, in the unfortunate event that any of the above terms are infringed, we may need to suspend or terminate your access to our services. This would be our last resort and we assure you that such decisions would only be made after a thorough consideration. We aim to communicate with you transparently about any issues that arise and we would appreciate your cooperation in resolving them.

10. Governing Law

The Terms of Service are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the United States of America.

11. Changes to the Terms

We may update these Terms of Service from time to time to reflect changes in our services, user feedback, or changes in law. When we make changes, we will make a reasonable effort to provide notice to our subscribers, which could include a notice in our newsletter. Your continued use of the service following these changes means you accept the revised terms.
