publish.law

Terms of Use

Effective date: July 3, 2026

These terms are an agreement between you and Wilde Media LLC, a Florida limited liability company (“we,” “us”), the operator of publish.law. By creating an account or using the service, you agree to them. If you don’t agree, don’t use the service.

Our Privacy Policy explains how we handle personal information and is part of these terms.

1. The service

publish.law is a publishing platform for legal professionals. We host your professional profile and site, publish your posts and notes, deliver your newsletter, route reader inquiries to you, and give you a portable identity built on an open protocol. Features vary by plan; the current lineup and pricing are at publish.law/pricing. We add, change, and occasionally retire features as the product evolves. If we retire something material to a paid plan, we’ll tell you before it happens.

2. Who the service is for

The service is designed for attorneys and other legal professionals, and anyone in the legal field is welcome to use it. We don’t verify anyone’s bar admission, license, credentials, or professional status. A profile on publish.law is a self-published statement by its author, not a certification by us.

Nothing on the platform is legal advice from us, and nothing published by our users creates an attorney-client relationship with us. Whether it creates one with the publishing attorney is between you and them.

You must be at least 18 to use the service, and you must provide accurate account information.

3. Your account

You’re responsible for your account and everything done through it. Keep your credentials secure and tell us promptly at privacy@publish.law if you believe your account has been compromised. Your subdomain and display name can’t impersonate another person or organization.

If you connect an AI assistant to your account, its actions are your actions. You can revoke a connected assistant’s access at any time.

4. Your content

You own it. Everything you publish on publish.law remains yours. You grant us the license we need to run the service: to host, store, display, and distribute your content on your site, in feeds you enable (RSS, ActivityPub federation), in platform surfaces such as the network feed and discovery pages, and to third-party services at your direction (for example, when you share a post to LinkedIn). This license ends when you delete the content or your account, except for copies already distributed through open channels (content syndicated by RSS or federation may persist on systems we don’t control) and for backups that expire on their own schedule.

You’re responsible for it. You confirm that you have the rights to publish what you publish and that it doesn’t violate anyone’s rights or any law. If you’re a lawyer, you’re solely responsible for your own professional obligations, including attorney-advertising rules in your jurisdiction, client-confidentiality duties, and privilege. Don’t publish confidential client information. We’re a platform, not your compliance department.

Portability. You can export a portable copy of your identity and published posts from the dashboard whenever you like, and your subscriber list separately. Your identity on the open protocol is designed to move with you.

5. Acceptable use

Don’t use the service to:

We may remove content or suspend accounts that violate these rules. For anything short of a serious or legal problem, we’ll aim to warn you first.

6. Newsletters and subscribers

Your subscriber list is yours. You may only add or import subscribers who have actually consented to receive your emails, and you’re responsible for your newsletters complying with applicable email law (in the US, CAN-SPAM). Every newsletter we send for you includes an unsubscribe link, and unsubscribes take effect immediately. We use subscriber information only to deliver and manage subscriptions — confirmations, unsubscribes, abuse prevention, and crediting a referral when a subscriber arrived through a referral link — and never for our own marketing.

7. Custom domains

If you connect a custom domain, you confirm that you own or control it. You’re responsible for keeping your domain registration current; we’re responsible for serving your site and certificates once it’s pointed at us.

8. Plans, billing, and cancellation

Paid plans are billed through Stripe, monthly or annually, and renew automatically until you cancel. You can cancel anytime from your dashboard; cancellation stops future renewals and your paid features continue through the end of the period you’ve paid for. Fees already paid are non-refundable except where the law requires otherwise; if we ever get a charge materially wrong, email us and we’ll make it right.

If we change a plan’s price, we’ll give you notice before it affects your renewal. If a renewal payment fails, we’ll retry and notify you before downgrading the account.

Taxes: prices don’t include any taxes we’re required to collect, which are added where applicable.

If you believe content on a site we host infringes your copyright, send a notice with the details required by the DMCA (identification of the work, the infringing material’s URL, your contact information, a statement of your good-faith belief that the use is unauthorized, a statement under penalty of perjury that the notice is accurate and you’re authorized to act for the rights holder, and your signature) to copyright@legalexaminer.com, the contact for Wilde Media LLC’s designated agent registered with the U.S. Copyright Office. We respond to valid notices, including removing material and, for repeat infringers, terminating accounts. Publishers may submit counter-notices as the DMCA provides.

Our designated agent, registered with the U.S. Copyright Office: Wilde Media LLC, 3225 South MacDill Avenue, #129-307, Tampa, FL 33629; 813-331-5771; copyright@legalexaminer.com.

10. Termination

You can delete your account at any time from the dashboard, which deletes your content and data as described in the Privacy Policy. Export first if you want a copy; deletion is permanent.

We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms, create legal risk, or abuse the platform. If we terminate an account without cause on a paid plan, we’ll refund the unused portion of the current period. We can also discontinue the service itself; if that ever happens, we’ll give paid publishers reasonable notice and time to export.

11. Disclaimers

The service is provided “as is” and “as available.” We work hard to keep it fast and reliable, but we don’t warrant that it will be uninterrupted or error-free, and we disclaim all implied warranties to the fullest extent the law allows. We aren’t responsible for content published by users, for third-party services you connect, or for what other federated servers do with public content.

12. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Wilde Media LLC won’t be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, revenues, or data, arising from your use of the service. Our total liability for any claim is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim arose (or $100 if you haven’t paid us anything). Some jurisdictions don’t allow certain limitations, so parts of this section may not apply to you.

13. Indemnification

If a third party brings a claim against us because of content you published or your violation of these terms, you’ll defend and indemnify us against it. This is the standard arrangement for a platform that publishes your words under your name.

14. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute not subject to arbitration under Section 15 will be resolved in the state or federal courts located in Hillsborough County, Florida, and both sides consent to their jurisdiction.

15. Arbitration (publisher accounts)

This section applies to disputes between Wilde Media LLC and publisher account holders, who use the service in a professional or commercial capacity. It doesn’t apply to readers, subscribers, or visitors; their disputes are handled under Section 14.

Any dispute between us and a publisher arising out of these terms or the service will be resolved by binding arbitration before a single arbitrator, administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Commercial Arbitration Rules, seated in Hillsborough County, Florida (hearings may be held by video). Judgment on the award may be entered in any court with jurisdiction.

Two carve-outs: either side may bring an individual claim in small-claims court instead, and either side may go to court for injunctive relief involving intellectual property or unauthorized access to the service.

Publisher disputes are resolved individually. Neither side may bring or participate in a class, collective, or representative action against the other, and the arbitrator may not consolidate claims across users.

16. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms as the service evolves. We’ll update the effective date above, and for material changes we’ll give account holders reasonable notice by email or in the dashboard before they take effect. Continuing to use the service after changes take effect means you accept them.

17. The fine print

These terms plus the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between us about the service. If part of these terms is found unenforceable, the rest stands. You may not assign this agreement without our consent; we may assign it in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale. Our failure to enforce a provision isn’t a waiver of it.
