Terms of Use

1. Who can use the Site

You must be at least 13 years old to use the Site and at least 18 (or the age of majority where you live) to buy tickets or services. If you use the Site for a business, you confirm you are authorized to accept these Terms for it.

2. Your account

To post in the discussions you need an account. Give us accurate information, keep your sign-in link and password private, and tell us right away at [email protected] if you think someone else has used your account. You are responsible for activity on your account. You can delete your account at any time by emailing us.

3. Our content

The articles, reviews, comparisons, news summaries, podcast episodes, graphics, logos and design of the Site are owned by Z Media Group or our licensors and are protected by copyright and trademark law. You may read, share links to, and quote short excerpts of our content with credit and a link back to the original page. You may not copy, republish, sell or create derivative works from substantial parts of the Site, or scrape it in bulk, without our written permission.

Product names and logos that appear in our reviews and news belong to their owners and are used only to identify those products. Their appearance does not mean the owner endorses Z Media.

4. Information only, not professional advice

Our news, reviews, comparisons, podcast and chat answers are general information about AI tools and business automation. They are not legal, financial, tax or other professional advice. Features, prices and policies of the products we cover change often; check with the vendor before you rely on anything we publish. You are responsible for the decisions you make.

5. AI-generated content

Parts of the Site use AI, including the "Ask Z Media" chat, news key points and summaries, and some drafts that our team reviews before publishing. AI output can be incomplete or wrong. Treat it as a starting point, and verify important facts with the original source, which we link wherever we can.

6. News links and third-party sites

Our AI News section links to articles written by other publishers. We summarize and link; we do not own or control their content, and their own terms and privacy policies apply when you visit them. Links to third-party tools, including tools we review, are not endorsements unless we say so.

7. Posting in the discussions

You keep ownership of what you post. By posting, you give Z Media a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, display, reproduce, format and distribute your post on the Site and in our newsletter and social channels, for as long as it stays on the Site. You confirm you have the right to post it.

You agree not to post anything that:

• is unlawful, defamatory, harassing, hateful, threatening or sexually explicit;
• infringes someone else's copyright, trademark, privacy or other rights;
• is spam, undisclosed advertising, affiliate link farming or a scam;
• shares another person's personal information without permission;
• impersonates any person or organization, or misrepresents your affiliation;
• contains malware or attempts to break, overload or probe the Site.

New posts are checked by AI moderation and may be reviewed by our team. We may hold, edit for formatting, remove or refuse any post, and suspend or close accounts that break these rules. We are not obliged to monitor every post and are not responsible for what users post.

8. Acceptable use

When using any part of the Site, you agree not to:

• use bots, scrapers or automated tools to access the Site in a way that burdens it or bypasses our limits;
• try to gain unauthorized access to accounts, servers or data;
• use the chat or forms to send spam, abuse, or attempts to make the AI produce harmful content;
• use the Site to break any law or to help anyone else do so.

9. Newsletter and emails

If you subscribe to our newsletter or request a guide, we will email you the content you asked for and our weekly issue. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in any email. We also send service emails, such as sign-in links and ticket receipts, that you cannot opt out of while you use those features.

10. Event tickets

• Tickets are sold through Stripe. Prices are shown before you pay and include any fees we disclose at checkout.
• Your receipt includes a QR code that admits the named ticket holder. Do not share or resell it; a code can be scanned only once at the door.
• All ticket sales are final. Tickets are non-cancellable and non-refundable, unless the event page says otherwise or the law requires a refund.
• Each event may have its own rules shown on its page; those rules also apply.

11. Payments for services

Our payment plan page uses PayPal. Payments for Z Media services are governed by the proposal or agreement you accepted for those services, and by PayPal's terms for the payment itself. We never see your full card or account details.

12. Text messages and WhatsApp

When you text or WhatsApp (419) 500-4882, or give us your mobile number for a ticket or a reply, you agree to receive messages from us about your request. We do not send marketing texts.

• Frequency. Message frequency varies and is usually in reply to messages you send us.
• Cost. Message and data rates may apply.
• Opt out. Reply STOP at any time. You will get one final confirmation message. Reply START to subscribe again.
• Help. Reply HELP, or email [email protected].
• Carriers. Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages.
• Privacy. See our Privacy Policy.

13. Copyright complaints

If you believe content on the Site infringes your copyright, email [email protected] with: the work you own, the page where the infringing content appears, your contact details, a statement that you believe in good faith the use is not authorized, and a statement under penalty of perjury that your notice is accurate and that you are the owner or authorized to act for the owner. We will remove infringing material and close the accounts of repeat infringers.

14. Disclaimers

The Site is provided "as is" and "as available". To the fullest extent allowed by law, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy and non-infringement. We do not promise the Site will be uninterrupted, error-free or free of harmful components.

15. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent allowed by law, Z Media Group and its owners, employees and partners will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for lost profits, data or goodwill, arising from your use of the Site. Our total liability for any claim relating to the Site is limited to the greater of the amount you paid us through the Site in the 12 months before the claim, or US$100. Some places do not allow these limits, so they may not fully apply to you.

16. Indemnity

You agree to defend and hold harmless Z Media Group from claims, losses and costs (including reasonable legal fees) arising from content you post or your breach of these Terms.

17. Suspension and termination

You may stop using the Site at any time. We may suspend or end your access, or remove your content, if you break these Terms or if we need to protect the Site or other users. Sections that by their nature should survive (such as ownership, disclaimers, limitation of liability and governing law) survive termination.

18. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Ohio and applicable U.S. federal law, without regard to conflict of law rules. Before filing a claim, please email [email protected] so we can try to resolve it informally within 30 days. Any dispute that is not resolved will be heard in the state or federal courts located in Lucas County, Ohio, and you and we consent to their jurisdiction. Either of us may bring a qualifying claim in small claims court.

19. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms as the Site changes. We will change the "Last updated" date at the top, and for significant changes we will give notice on the Site or by email. Continuing to use the Site after changes take effect means you accept them.

20. General

These Terms and our Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between you and us about the Site. If any part is found unenforceable, the rest stays in effect. Our failure to enforce a right is not a waiver. You may not transfer these Terms without our consent; we may transfer them in connection with a merger or sale of our business.
