Terms of Service
Agreement
These terms govern your use of CRYPTO QUILL, the cryptocurrency news publication at cryptoquill.com, including all articles, pages, feeds, and services we offer through it. By using the site you accept these terms; if you do not accept them, the remedy is simple and free: do not use the site. Where our Privacy Policy, Cookie Policy, Disclaimer, or DMCA & Copyright Policy address a topic in more detail, those pages apply alongside these terms.
The site is journalism, not advice
This is the clause that matters most, so it comes first. Everything we publish is journalism and commentary for general information. Nothing on this site is financial, investment, trading, legal, accounting, or tax advice, and nothing here is a recommendation to buy, sell, hold, stake, or otherwise touch any cryptocurrency, token, NFT, or related product. Cryptocurrency markets are exceptionally volatile, largely unprotected by the safety nets that exist in traditional finance, and entirely capable of taking all of your money. You are responsible for your own decisions, including the decision about whether to seek advice from a licensed professional who knows your situation. Our Disclaimer expands on this at length, and we mean every word of it.
Using our content
The articles, headlines, graphics, and other original material on this site are protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws and belong to us or our licensors. You may:
- Read, share links to, and quote brief excerpts of our work with attribution and a link to the original article;
- Use our content for personal, non-commercial purposes.
You may not, without written permission:
- Republish articles in full or in substantial part, on websites, apps, newsletters, or aggregators;
- Use our content to train, fine-tune, or ground machine learning models, or scrape the site at scale for any purpose;
- Sell, sublicense, or commercially redistribute our content, or strip our attribution from it.
Licensing requests are welcome at support@cryptoquill.com and we answer them quickly.
Acceptable use
You agree not to misuse the site. That includes not attempting to breach its security, probe or overload its infrastructure, inject malicious code, impersonate the publication or its staff, use the site to further any fraud or market manipulation scheme, or frame our reporting in a way that misrepresents what it says. We are a crypto publication; we have seen most of the tricks, and we report the interesting ones to the relevant authorities.
Third-party links and services
Our reporting links out constantly: to blockchain explorers, project documentation, exchanges, court filings, and social media. Linked sites are not ours, we do not control them, and a link is a citation, not an endorsement. This deserves particular emphasis in crypto, where a project we covered accurately in March can be an exit scam by June. If you follow a link and hand your assets to a third party, that transaction is between you and them. Do your own research every single time.
User submissions
If you send us material (tips, images, documents, comments where available), you confirm you have the right to share it, and you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to use, edit, and publish it in connection with our journalism. We will honour confidentiality agreements we make with sources; the licence above does not override a promise of anonymity. Do not send us material you are not entitled to share, and do not send us anyone’s private keys or credentials under any circumstances; we do not want them and will delete them.
Availability and changes
We aim to keep the site available around the clock, because crypto does not close, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted access. We may change, suspend, or discontinue any part of the site at any time. We may update these terms; material changes will be reflected on this page with an updated date, and continued use after a change constitutes acceptance.
Disclaimers of warranty
The site and its content are provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, and non-infringement. We work hard on accuracy, and our Fact-Checking Policy and Corrections Policy describe exactly how hard, but market data goes stale in seconds, projects misrepresent themselves, and no publication can warrant that every figure on a fast-moving beat is current at the moment you read it.
Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, CRYPTO QUILL and its team shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, trading losses, loss of digital assets, loss of data, or loss of goodwill, arising from your use of or inability to use the site or your reliance on anything published on it. Where liability cannot be excluded, it is limited to the greatest extent the law allows. Nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded, such as liability for fraud.
Indemnity
You agree to indemnify us against claims, damages, and reasonable costs arising from your breach of these terms or your unlawful use of the site or its content.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which the publication is established, and disputes are subject to the courts of that jurisdiction, without prejudice to any mandatory consumer protections you enjoy under the laws of your place of residence. If any provision of these terms is found unenforceable, the remainder continues in force.
