Terms of Use

Last updated: October 2026

The service

• What we provide Mill Valley Briefing publishes a free weekly newsletter, a paid daily newsletter, a podcast, and occasional community events. We reserve the right to adjust the format, frequency, or content of any of these at any time.
• No guarantee of continuity We intend to publish indefinitely, but we make no guarantee that the Briefing will continue. In the event of cessation, paid subscribers will be notified and refunds handled as set out below.
• Accuracy We make every effort to ensure our reporting is accurate and fairly presented. However, we cannot guarantee that all information is complete or error-free. We correct errors as soon as reasonably practicable when they are brought to our attention.

Subscriptions

• Free tier The free weekly newsletter is available to anyone who subscribes via our website. No payment is required.
• Paid tiers Paid subscriptions are billed monthly or annually through Stripe. Your subscription renews automatically until you cancel. You can cancel at any time through your subscriber portal or by emailing us directly.
• Refunds All subscription payments are non-refundable. If you cancel, your access continues until the end of your current billing period and will not renew. If Mill Valley Briefing ceases publication, paid subscribers will receive a pro-rata refund for the unused portion of any annual subscription.
• Pricing We reserve the right to change subscription prices. If we increase the price of an existing tier, we will notify active subscribers before the new rate takes effect and give them the opportunity to cancel.

Content and copyright

• Ownership All original content published by Mill Valley Briefing, including articles, podcast episodes, photos, video and event materials, is owned by Mill Valley Briefing and protected by copyright.
• Personal use You are welcome to share links to our content and quote brief passages for personal, non-commercial purposes, provided you attribute the source.
• Prohibited use Scraping, republishing, redistributing, or reproducing our content, in whole or in part, without our written permission is prohibited. This includes using our content to train AI models.

Events and the podcast

• Attending Our events are open to the public and free so far. If we ever charge for an event, the price and any ticket terms will be shown when you register. We may change, move or cancel an event, and we may ask anyone who disrupts an event to leave.
• Photos, video and audio We take photos and video and record audio at our events, including live podcast recordings. By attending, you agree that we may publish them in the newsletter, on our website, on our social channels and in the podcast. Our Privacy Policy explains how to ask us to leave you out or take something down.
• If you speak If you ask a question or speak in the room during a recording, you give us permission to record you, edit your contribution for length and clarity, and publish it in the podcast and in promotion for it. Episodes are distributed through Spotify and Apple Podcasts and may stay available there. We won't change your words to mean something you didn't say.
• Panelists and guests If you appear on stage or as a guest, we will confirm in writing, usually by email, how we plan to record and publish your appearance.

Third-party services and links

We rely on outside services such as Beehiiv, Stripe, Google Analytics, Spotify and Apple Podcasts, and our content may link to other websites. We don't control those services or sites, and their terms and privacy practices apply when you use them.

Your conduct

• Tips and correspondence If you contact us with tips, story ideas, or feedback, you grant us permission to use that information editorially, including in published reporting. We will handle confidential sources with care and will not identify a source without their consent.
• Accuracy of information If you provide us with information, including tips or corrections, you are responsible for ensuring it is accurate to the best of your knowledge.
