Terms of use

The service

marketernews is a daily marketing trend radar. It's made of a curated feed (TIDE), reading material (READ), and the stacks (ARCHIVE). Reading is free, and some features need an account.

Accounts

• One account per person. What happens on your account is your responsibility.
• You need to be at least 14 years old to create an account.
• Accounts that break these rules can be suspended, with advance notice where possible.

Your content

• Everything you make here, like saved lists and profiles, is yours. You only give us a non-exclusive license to display it inside marketernews.
• If posting features open up, spam, disguised ads, harassment, other people's personal information, and content you don't hold rights to are all banned. We remove violations, and repeated ones can suspend the account.
• Delete your account and what you made goes with it. The exception is anything the law requires us to keep.

Our content

The trend write-ups, momentum scores, generated artwork, and the site itself are ours. Quote freely with a link and credit. Scraping the whole site, republishing the feed, or reselling the data without a written agreement isn't allowed.

Legal basics

• The service is provided as is, without warranties. Features can change or stop.
• To the extent the law allows, our liability is capped at what you paid us over the twelve months before the claim. For free accounts that amount is zero.
• These terms follow the law of the Republic of Korea. Changes get posted here, and significant ones are announced inside the product.

Privacy

Right now, before accounts: we collect nothing on our servers. Saved trends, your product name, sound settings, all of it lives only in your device's browser. Clear your browser data and it's gone.

When accounts open, this is what we'll collect:

• We don't sell personal data. Ever.
• We may publish aggregated, anonymized stats, like "N people saved this trend". None of it can identify a person.
• If ads or analytics arrive, this page will name every partner and what they set (cookies and the like) in advance, with every choice the law requires.
• You can request a copy, correction, or deletion of your data: sage@bridgeleaf.co. We answer within 14 days.
• marketernews isn't aimed at children under 14 and doesn't knowingly collect their data.
• Data is processed on infrastructure that may sit outside Korea (hosting and database providers will be named here at launch).

Subscription and billing

What you pay for

Reading marketernews is free and stays free. The subscription adds the working tools: account watch, reference search, and unlimited reports without a watermark. A free account keeps everything else.

Price and renewal

• The list price is $10 per month, billed in US dollars. Founding subscribers pay $7 per month while founding seats last.
• The founding price holds for as long as the subscription runs without a break. Cancel and come back later and the list price applies.
• It renews automatically each month until you cancel. Your card statement shows MARKETERNEWS.
• If we ever raise the price, existing subscribers keep theirs. A change would only apply to new subscriptions.

Cancelling

Cancel any time from the membership page, in two clicks. There's no notice period and nothing to email us about. You keep the paid features until the end of the period you already paid for, and then the account drops back to free with everything you made still there.

Refunds

• Within 7 days of your first payment, ask and we refund it in full.
• After that, cancelling stops the next charge rather than refunding the current month.
• If we break something and you couldn't use what you paid for, tell us and we'll make it right, refund included.
• Refund requests go to hello@marketernews.co and we answer within two business days.

Failed payments

If a renewal fails, Stripe retries over a few days and we email you. The subscription stays open during the retries. If it still fails, it closes and the account drops back to free. Nothing gets deleted.

Who handles the money

Payments run through Stripe. We never see or store your card number. Stripe holds the card details and we hold only a customer reference and the date your subscription runs to.

Copyright and embeds

Every video on marketernews plays through the platform's official embed. The file streams from YouTube's or TikTok's own servers. We never download, re-upload, or re-host anyone's video. Ownership and control stay with the creator, and so do the views and the traffic. Clicking through always lands on the original post.

• Thumbnails are served by each platform's own image service as part of how embeds work.
• Trend names, sounds, and formats belong to their creators and rights holders. Covering a trend is an introduction, not a claim of ownership.
• To creators: if your work appears here and you want it down, email sage@bridgeleaf.co with the link. No questions, fast, usually within 48 hours.
• Our own work (write-ups, scores, artwork) can be quoted with credit and a link.

Ads and sponsorship

marketernews is free to read, and we plan to earn through ads and partnerships. Before the first ad runs, three promises go on the record:

• Sponsored content is always labeled. If a slot, a slide, or a newsletter placement is paid, it says SPONSORED in the same type size as our own labels.
• Momentum scores and statuses are never for sale. No money moves a number, a ranking, or a spot in the tide. Advertisers buy clearly marked space, not our judgment.
• Affiliate links are disclosed. If we earn a commission when you use a tool we covered, the link says so.

Disclaimer

Momentum scores, statuses, and calls are an editor's estimate built from public sources. They're not platform metrics or guarantees. Trends stall, revive, and mutate. Marketing decisions you make on top of marketernews are your own. Test before you spend. The one-line call on each trend is either AI analysis or an editor's view, and the card always says which.
