They govern your use of lobbingscorchers.com, our newsletters, our podcasts, member accounts, comments, and anything else we link to these Terms (the "Services").

You can cancel at any time from your account page; cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period. Payments are processed by Stripe under its own terms.

4. Our content

Everything we publish, including articles, newsletters, podcast audio, artwork, logos, and the Lobbing Scorchers name, is owned by us or our licensors and protected by copyright and trademark law.

What you may do: read, listen, share links, quote brief excerpts with attribution and a link, and use the Services for personal, non-commercial purposes. Podcast episodes may be played through any podcast app.

What you may not do without written permission: republish full articles or episodes, remove attribution or ads, sell or redistribute our content, use it to train or fine-tune machine learning models, scrape the Site at scale, or use our name or logo to suggest endorsement.

5. Your content

When you post a comment or send us a tip, message, or listener mail, you keep ownership of it. You grant us a perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free license to publish, edit, quote, and reproduce it in connection with the Services, including reading listener mail on a podcast. You confirm you have the right to grant that license.

We may remove any comment or contribution at our discretion, and we are not obliged to publish anything.

6. Community rules

Do not post anything that is unlawful, defamatory, harassing, hateful, obscene, or that infringes someone else's rights or privacy. Do not spam, impersonate anyone, or post someone's personal information. Do not attempt to interfere with the Services, probe or bypass their security, or access accounts or data that are not yours. Good-faith security research reported to security@justoncemedia.com is welcome.

Some content is sponsored and some links are affiliate links; we identify them where they appear. Sponsors and advertisers are responsible for their own products, offers, and websites. We do not endorse or guarantee anything an advertiser says or sells.

If you believe content on the Site infringes your copyright, send a notice under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act to our designated agent, registered with the U.S. Copyright Office under designation number DMCA-1080063, at dmca@justoncemedia.com or by mail to Just Once Media LLC, DMCA Agent, 522 W Riverside Ave, Ste N, Spokane, WA 99201.

We respond to valid notices, forward counter-notices as the statute provides, and may terminate repeat infringers.

9. Disclaimers

The Services are provided "as is" and "as available." Our content is journalism and commentary, not professional, legal, financial, medical, or investment advice. We do not warrant that the Services will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of harmful components, or that any content is accurate or complete. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

10. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Just Once Media LLC, its members, managers, employees, and contributors will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, data, or goodwill, arising from your use of the Services. Our total liability for any claim relating to the Services is limited to the greater of the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim or $100. Some jurisdictions do not allow these limitations, in which case they apply to the extent permitted.

11. Disputes

  • Governing law. These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Washington, without regard to conflict-of-law rules.
  • Venue. Any dispute will be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located in King County, Washington, and you consent to their jurisdiction.
  • Informal resolution first. Before filing any claim, email us at privacy@justoncemedia.com and give us 30 days to try to resolve it.
  • Time limit. Any claim must be brought within one year after it arises, where the law allows.

12. Indemnity

You will defend and hold us harmless from claims and costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising from content you post, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of anyone else's rights.

13. Changes to the Services and these Terms

We may change, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Services at any time. We may update these Terms; if a change is material, we will email members or post a notice on the Site at least 14 days before it takes effect. Continuing to use the Services after that date means you accept the updated Terms.

14. General

If any part of these Terms is unenforceable, the rest remains in effect. These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between you and us about the Services. We may assign these Terms in connection with a change of ownership or control. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. Notices to us go to privacy@justoncemedia.com; notices to you go to the email on your account.
