Violations may result in termination of your access and potential legal action.

Content Disclaimer

Content made available through the Service by third parties represents the views and opinions of those authors, not necessarily those of Fem-Led News. We do not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or reliability of any third-party content.

We do not endorse or adopt third-party opinions, advice, or statements. You use such content at your own risk. We are not responsible for any loss or damage resulting from reliance on third-party content.

While we strive to enforce these Terms, you may encounter inaccurate or objectionable content. If you become aware of violations, please contact us at hello(at)femled(dot)news.

Third-Party Links and Content

The Service may contain links to third-party websites, applications, or content (“Third-Party Services”). These links are provided for your convenience only. We do not control, monitor, or endorse Third-Party Services.

We are not responsible for:

  • The accuracy, content, or policies of Third-Party Services
  • Privacy practices of third parties
  • Products, services, or information available through Third-Party Services

When you access Third-Party Services, you do so at your own risk. Our Terms and Privacy Policy no longer apply once you leave our Site. Please review the terms and privacy policies of any third-party service you visit.

Intellectual Property

All intellectual property rights in the Service, including copyrights, trademarks, logos, and proprietary content, belong to Fem-Led News, Savvy Gal, LLC, and our licensors. We reserve all rights not expressly granted to you.

You may not reproduce, distribute, modify, create derivative works of, publicly display, or exploit any content from the Service without our prior written permission.

Electronic Communications

By using the Service, you consent to:

  • Receive communications from us electronically via the email address you provided
  • Accept that all agreements, notices, and disclosures we provide electronically satisfy legal requirements for written communications

We may send you:

  • Service-related notifications and updates
  • Newsletters and content you’ve subscribed to
  • Information about our services and special offers

You may opt out of promotional emails using the “Unsubscribe” link in any message or by emailing hello(at)femled(dot)news. Note that opting out of promotional emails does not exempt you from receiving service-related communications.

Disclaimers

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, SECURITY, ACCURACY, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT:

  • The Service will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free
  • Results obtained from the Service will be accurate or reliable
  • Any errors or defects will be corrected
  • The Service is free from viruses or harmful components

You assume all responsibility and risk for your use of the Service and any content you download or access.

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain warranty disclaimers, so some of these limitations may not apply to you.

Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, FEM-LED NEWS, SAVVY GAL, LLC, AND OUR OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AFFILIATES, LICENSORS, AND PARTNERS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY:

  • Indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or exemplary damages
  • Loss of profits, revenue, data, or use
  • Business interruption or loss of goodwill
  • Damages resulting from your use or inability to use the Service

This limitation applies regardless of the legal theory (contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, or otherwise) and whether or not we were advised of the possibility of such damages.

Our total liability to you for all claims arising from or relating to the Service shall not exceed the amount you paid us, if any, in the twelve (12) months preceding the claim.

Some jurisdictions do not allow limitations on liability, so some of these limitations may not apply to you.

Disputes with Third Parties

If you have a dispute with any merchant, product provider, or other third party featured in or accessed through the Service, you release Fem-Led News, Savvy Gal, LLC, and our officers, directors, agents, employees, and affiliates from all claims, demands, and damages (actual and consequential) arising from such disputes.

California residents may waive California Civil Code §1542, which states: “A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor.”

Modifications to Terms

We may modify these Terms of Service at any time. When we make changes, we will:

  • Update the “Last Updated” date at the top of this page
  • Post the revised Terms on our Site
  • Endeavor to notify you of material changes via email or a notice on our homepage

Your continued use of the Service after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the modified Terms. You are responsible for regularly reviewing these Terms.

Only written modifications signed by an authorized officer of Fem-Led News are binding. No telephonic or email communications shall constitute a valid modification or waiver of these Terms.

Termination

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your access to the Service at any time, with or without cause or notice, including for violation of these Terms.

Upon termination, your right to use the Service immediately ceases. Provisions of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination shall survive, including intellectual property rights, disclaimers, limitations of liability, and dispute resolution provisions.

Dispute Resolution

Time Limitation: Any cause of action arising from or related to your use of the Service must be commenced within one (1) year after the cause of action accrues. Otherwise, the cause of action is permanently barred.

Governing Law: These Terms and your use of the Service are governed by the laws of the State of North Carolina and federal laws of the United States of America, without regard to conflict of law principles.

Jurisdiction: You agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of courts located in North Carolina for resolution of any disputes.

General Provisions

Severability: If any provision of these Terms is found invalid or unenforceable, that provision shall be construed consistently with applicable law, and the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.

No Waiver: Our failure to enforce any provision of these Terms does not constitute a waiver of our right to enforce that provision in the future.

Assignment: We may assign or delegate these Terms and our Privacy Policy, in whole or in part, at any time with or without notice. You may not assign or delegate your rights or obligations without our prior written consent. Any unauthorized assignment by you is void.

Entire Agreement: These Terms of Service, together with our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and Fem-Led News regarding the Service and supersede all prior agreements, communications, and understandings.
