Effective August 13, 2026
These Terms govern your use of onthenode.com. By using the site, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the site.
Informational content
OnTheNode publishes news, commentary, explainers, user contributions, and commercial content. Content is provided for general informational purposes and is not legal, financial, investment, tax, medical, or other professional advice. Verify important information and consult a qualified professional before acting.
Accounts and submissions
You are responsible for activity under your account and for maintaining the confidentiality of your credentials. Information you submit must be accurate, lawful, and within your rights to provide. Do not submit malicious code, spam, deceptive content, unlawful material, or content that infringes another person’s rights. If you are under 13, do not create an account or submit personal information.
License for submitted content
You retain ownership of content you submit. You grant OnTheNode a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, reproduce, edit, format, display, distribute, and promote that content as reasonably necessary to operate the site and provide the service you requested. You represent that you have the rights needed to grant this license.
Intellectual property
The site, its design, branding, and original content are protected by applicable intellectual-property laws. Except as permitted by law or an express license, you may not republish, scrape, sell, systematically extract, or create substitute services from site content.
Commercial content
Advertising and sponsored content are governed by our Sponsored Content Policy and any written order. Payment does not guarantee publication, endorsement, results, traffic, rankings, or permanent availability.
Third-party services and links
The site may link to or embed third-party services. OnTheNode does not control and is not responsible for third-party content, availability, security, or privacy practices. A link does not necessarily imply endorsement.
Moderation and termination
We may edit, restrict, suspend, or remove content or access when reasonably necessary for safety, legal compliance, site integrity, policy enforcement, or operational reasons. We are not required to host any submission indefinitely.
Disclaimers
To the extent permitted by law, the site and its content are provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of accuracy, completeness, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, or uninterrupted availability. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain exclusions, so these provisions apply only to the extent permitted.
Limitation of liability
To the extent permitted by law, OnTheNode and its contributors, service providers, and representatives will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, data, goodwill, or opportunities arising from use of the site. Any liability that cannot be excluded is limited to the minimum amount permitted by law.
Indemnity
To the extent permitted by law, you agree to defend and indemnify OnTheNode against claims arising from content you submit, your violation of these Terms, or your infringement of another person’s rights.
Changes
We may update these Terms. The effective date identifies the current version. Continued use after an update means you accept the revised Terms to the extent permitted by law.
