These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your use of The Human Input at thehumaninput.xyz and through its connected services. By using the service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the service.
Effective date: 5 September 2026.
Eligibility and accounts
You must be legally able to agree to these Terms. If you are under the age of legal majority where you live, use the service only with a parent or guardian's permission. You are responsible for activity through your account and for protecting sign-in links, authentication factors, and recovery methods. Tell us promptly if you believe an account has been compromised.
We may reject, suspend, or close an account or service request when necessary to protect the service, comply with law, or enforce these Terms. Account export and deletion tools are subject to identity, security, legal, and operational checks described in the Privacy Policy.
Editorial content
The Human Input publishes reporting, analysis, reference records, opportunities, and commentary. Content is for general information and is not legal, financial, medical, employment, or other professional advice. Verify material facts and current source terms before relying on them. We may correct, update, archive, or remove content under our editorial policies.
Ownership and permitted use
The service, its original content, design, marks, databases, and software are owned by or licensed to The Human Input and are protected by applicable law. We grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to access and use the service for personal, non-commercial reading and other uses a page expressly permits.
You may link to public pages and use ordinary browser, accessibility, RSS, and search-engine features. Unless law permits it or we approve it in writing, you may not reproduce, republish, sell, license, create substitute publications from, systematically extract, scrape, data-mine, train or evaluate an artificial-intelligence system on, or use retrieval systems to reproduce substantial portions of the service. Search engines may crawl public pages in accordance with our robots.txt instructions.
Your submissions
You retain ownership of material you submit. You give The Human Input a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to receive, store, review, verify, edit for format and clarity, publish if accepted, display, distribute, promote, correct, and archive that material as reasonably necessary to operate The Human Input. This license ends when it is no longer needed for those purposes, except for published, archived, legal, security, and backup records.
You represent that your submission is accurate to the best of your knowledge, that you have the rights and permissions needed to submit it, and that it does not violate law or another person's rights. Submitting material does not guarantee review, publication, payment, engagement, or confidentiality. Do not send sensitive or confidential material through ordinary email or a public form; request a safer channel first.
Opportunities, contributors, advertising, and paid services
Opportunity listings link to third-party sources and are not employment offers by The Human Input unless expressly stated. Contributor assignments, rights, fees, and payment obligations arise only from a separate written agreement. Advertising inquiries are requests for review, not accepted orders; advertising cannot buy editorial coverage or ranking, and no audience or performance result is guaranteed.
Paid membership, checkout, and live payment processing are not currently available unless a current page expressly says otherwise. If paid services are activated, the displayed order terms and any separate signed agreement will control price, renewal, cancellation, tax, refund, and billing details.
Acceptable use
Do not misuse the service, interfere with its operation, bypass access controls or rate limits, probe for vulnerabilities without written authorization, introduce malicious code, impersonate another person, submit unlawful or infringing material, harvest personal information, send spam, or use the service in a way that harms readers, contributors, providers, or the publication.
Third-party services
The service may link to or rely on third-party sites, images, authentication, newsletters, analytics, and other providers. We do not control their content, availability, security, or practices, and their terms govern your use of their services. A link or reference does not by itself imply endorsement.
Disclaimers
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the service is provided "as is" and "as available." The Human Input disclaims implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement. We do not promise that the service will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, complete, or current. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain disclaimers, so parts of this section may not apply to you.
Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, The Human Input and its officers, employees, contractors, contributors, and licensors will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, data, goodwill, or business opportunity, arising from the service. Nothing in these Terms excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.
Responsibility for business use
If you use the service on behalf of a business or submit material for publication or commercial review, you confirm that you have authority to bind that business. To the extent permitted by law, you will be responsible for third-party claims caused by that business's unlawful submission, infringement, or material breach of these Terms.
Changes, disputes, and general terms
We may change the service or these Terms. Updated Terms apply from the posted effective date; additional notice or consent will be provided where required. If a change is unacceptable, stop using the service and close your account.
Applicable law, conflict-of-law rules, and any non-waivable rights determine which law and courts govern a dispute. Before filing a claim, contact us and allow a reasonable opportunity to resolve it informally. These Terms and any expressly incorporated page or signed agreement are the entire agreement for the relevant service. If a provision is unenforceable, the remainder stays in effect. A failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not transfer these Terms without our consent; we may transfer them as part of a reorganization or sale.
