Last updated: July 16, 2026

These Terms & Conditions govern your use of FinallyTheFacts.com (the "Site"). By visiting or using the Site, you agree to these terms. If you don't agree with them, please don't use the Site. This page is written to be genuinely readable rather than dense legal boilerplate — if anything here is unclear, use the Contact Us page and ask.

1. Acceptance of terms

By accessing this Site, you confirm that you accept these Terms & Conditions and agree to comply with them. If these terms change, the updated version will be posted on this page with a revised "Last updated" date — your continued use of the Site after a change means you accept the revised terms.

2. The nature of our content

We aim for clear, accurate, and fairly reported news. That said, all content on this Site — articles, ratings like the Audacimeter, the Hall of Audacity, Coverage Elsewhere groupings, book and video recommendations — reflects editorial judgment, not guaranteed fact free of any possibility of error. We correct mistakes openly when we find them, but we cannot guarantee that every statement on the Site is complete, current, or free of error at every moment. Nothing on this Site constitutes professional advice of any kind (legal, medical, financial, or otherwise) and shouldn't be relied on as a substitute for it.

3. Intellectual property

Unless otherwise credited, the text, graphics, logos, and original content on this Site are owned by or licensed to FinallyTheFacts.com and protected by applicable copyright and trademark law. You're welcome to share links to our articles and quote brief excerpts with proper attribution and a link back to the original. Republishing, reproducing, or distributing substantial portions of our content without our prior written permission is not permitted.

4. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• Use the Site for any unlawful purpose, or in a way that violates any applicable local, national, or international law.
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to any part of the Site, its underlying systems, or other users' data.
• Scrape, systematically extract, or republish substantial portions of our content without permission.
• Submit anything through our Contact Us form or any other input on the Site that is abusive, fraudulent, or intended to disrupt the Site's operation.
• Interfere with the Site's security features or attempt to disrupt its normal operation (including via malware, excessive automated requests, or similar means).

5. Third-party links & affiliate disclosure

This Site links to third-party websites — news sources referenced in Coverage Elsewhere and References, videos, social media, and recommended books, among others. We don't control those sites and aren't responsible for their content, accuracy, or practices. Some links (particularly on our Books pages) are affiliate links, meaning we may earn a commission if you make a purchase after clicking one, at no extra cost to you. See our Privacy Policy for more detail, including our Amazon Associates disclosure.

6. Advertising

We may display advertising on the Site, gated behind your cookie consent choice as described in our Privacy Policy. Advertisements are clearly distinguishable from editorial content. We don't endorse, and aren't responsible for, the products, services, or claims made by advertisers.

7. Newsletter

Our newsletter is opt-in — you'll receive a confirmation email before any regular issues are sent, and every issue includes a one-click unsubscribe link. By subscribing, you agree to receive periodic emails from us; you can withdraw that consent at any time.

8. Corrections

We issue corrections openly, at the top of the affected article, rather than quietly editing mistakes away. If you believe something we've published is inaccurate, please tell us via Contact Us — we read every message.

9. Disclaimer of warranties

The Site is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including but not limited to warranties of accuracy, completeness, reliability, or fitness for a particular purpose. We don't guarantee the Site will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of harmful components.

10. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, FinallyTheFacts.com and its staff shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising from your use of, or inability to use, the Site, or from any content published on it, including content on third-party sites we link to.

11. Changes to these terms

We may update these Terms & Conditions from time to time to reflect changes to the Site or for legal or regulatory reasons. Material changes will be reflected in the "Last updated" date at the top of this page.

12. Governing law

[The jurisdiction whose laws govern these terms and where disputes would be handled is the United Kingdom and the judiciary of England specifically.
