The deal, in plain words

This site is run by Equinox Investment Group LLC, incorporated in Wyoming, United States, with registered office at 30 N Gould St, Ste N, Sheridan, WY 82801, United States. "We" is that company. "You" is whoever reads, signs in or publishes here. Using the site means these terms apply; if you do not accept them, you can still read everything without an account.

It publishes sentences from journalism that has already been published, and next to each one, the reply of the person or company it names. It labels each sentence by what the documents support.

It is not a court and it does not declare anyone guilty or innocent. A label is a statement about evidence, not a verdict. Nothing here is legal advice, and nothing here replaces the right to sue, to demand a rectification under the law, or to complain to a press regulator.

You need to be at least 16 to open one. Use a real email address you control, because that address is how we know it is you. Keep it to yourself: what happens under your account is treated as yours, and if you think someone else has got in, tell us and we will lock it.

You can close your account whenever you like. What you published in public stays, without your contact details — see the next section for why.

When you send a reply, a case or a document, you are telling us four things:

That it is yours to publish, or that you have permission. That the documents you upload are yours or you hold the rights to them. That you are not putting in someone else's personal data beyond what is needed to understand the matter. And that what you write is not unlawful where you are — no defamation you know to be false, no threats, no incitement, no material about children, no data you obtained by breaking into something.

If you speak for a company or an institution, you are telling us you are allowed to. We will usually ask you to prove it before your reply carries that name.

You keep ownership of everything you write and upload. You give us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free permission to store it, publish it on this site, show it in search results and social previews, and keep it as part of the public record of the case. That is the whole permission: we do not license your words to anyone else and we do not sell them.

That permission has to survive you closing your account, and here is the honest reason. A reply is published next to an accusation. If a reply could vanish, the accusation would be left standing alone and the record would end up telling a worse lie than the one it was built to fix. So the words stay; your name and contact details are a different matter, and those you can have removed.

Label a sentence by what the documents support. Decline a case, or retire a sentence from a published one, saying publicly that we did and why. Refuse or remove material that breaks the section above. Close an account that keeps doing it. Correct our own mistakes and record the correction where the mistake was.

And what we do not do: edit your reply. It is published as you wrote it, or not at all. If you change it later, both versions stay visible with their dates, so nobody can quietly rewrite history — including us.

The person who founded this site can send a case and reply to one, like anyone else. He never approves, labels or publishes a case in which he is involved. A site that asks newspapers to be accountable cannot make an exception for the person who runs it.

We try to keep the site up and we do not promise it always will be. It is free to use, it is run by a small company, and things break. If it goes down we fix it; we owe you uptime the way a neighbour owes you a favour, not the way a supplier owes you a service level.

We answer for what we write and for how we run the site. A quotation belongs to the outlet that published it and links to it. A reply belongs to whoever signed it. A document belongs to whoever uploaded it, along with the promise they made about it.

Beyond that, and as far as the law where you live allows, we are not liable for indirect losses, lost profit or lost business from using the site. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited — death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, or any right the law of your own country gives you as a consumer and does not let us take away. If a clause here conflicts with such a right, the right wins and the rest of these terms carry on.

We will publish the new version here with a new date at the bottom, and if the change matters we will say so on the site before it takes effect. Carrying on using the site after that means the new version applies. If you do not like it, close your account.

The law of Wyoming, United States applies and the courts there are competent. If you are a consumer resident in the European Union, the United Kingdom or anywhere with equivalent rules, that does not take away the protection of the mandatory law of your own country, and you can bring a claim before your own courts.
