5. Newsletters and communications

When you subscribe to a newsletter, you agree to receive emails from us related to the publication you subscribed to. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in any newsletter email.

6. Third-party links and advertising

The Sites contain advertising and links to third-party websites, products, and services. We don’t control these third parties and aren’t responsible for their content, accuracy, privacy practices, or availability. Your interactions with third parties are solely between you and them.

Editorial content is independent of advertising. Sponsored or branded content will be clearly labeled.

7. Editorial submissions and pitches

If you send us an editorial pitch, tip, or submission, you grant BBPR Media a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license to use, reproduce, and publish that submission in connection with our publications. You represent that the submission is your original work and doesn’t infringe anyone else’s rights.

We’re not obligated to publish, respond to, or return any submission.

8. Disclaimers

The Sites and all content are provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind, express or implied. We don’t warrant that the Sites will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or free of viruses.

Our editorial content is for general informational purposes. It is not professional, medical, legal, or financial advice. Always consult a qualified professional before making decisions based on anything you read on our Sites.

9. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, BBPR Media and its officers, employees, contractors, and affiliates will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of the Sites — including lost profits, lost data, or business interruption — even if we’ve been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Our total liability for any claim arising from these Terms or your use of the Sites will not exceed one hundred U.S. dollars ($100).

Some jurisdictions don’t allow certain limitations, so parts of this section may not apply to you.

10. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless BBPR Media and its officers, employees, and affiliates from any claims, damages, losses, or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising from your use of the Sites, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any rights of another.

11. Changes to the Sites and Terms

We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Sites at any time without notice. We may also update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we’ll update the “Last updated” date above. Material changes will be communicated through a notice on our Sites. Continued use of the Sites after changes means you accept the updated Terms.

12. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to its conflict of law principles. Any dispute arising from these Terms or your use of the Sites will be resolved in the state or federal courts located in Travis County, Texas, and you consent to the jurisdiction of those courts.

13. Termination

We may terminate or suspend your access to the Sites at any time, for any reason, without notice. Sections of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination (including intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, and indemnification) will survive.

14. Severability and entire agreement

If any part of these Terms is found unenforceable, the rest will remain in effect. These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and BBPR Media regarding the Sites.
