Terms of Service
These terms govern your use of Meridian. By accessing or using the site, you agree to them. If you do not agree, please do not use the site. These terms were last updated in September 2026.
Using the site
Meridian's articles and most features are free to read without an account. You agree to use the site lawfully and not to interfere with its operation — no scraping at abusive volumes, no attempts to breach security, no uploading of malware, and no use of the site to harass others or break the law.
Accounts
You may create an account to bookmark articles, follow topics and authors, manage newsletters, and comment. You are responsible for keeping your password confidential and for activity under your account. Provide accurate information when registering, and notify us promptly of any unauthorized use. We may suspend or close accounts that violate these terms or are used abusively.
Comments and community standards
Comments are moderated. By commenting, you agree not to post content that is unlawful, defamatory, hateful, harassing, sexually explicit, spam, or otherwise in breach of applicable law or basic decency. You must have the right to post what you post. We may remove or refuse any comment, and we may block accounts that repeatedly violate these standards. Comments represent the views of their authors, not of Meridian.
Intellectual property
Articles, images, graphics, and other content on Meridian are protected by copyright and belong to Meridian or its licensors. You may read, share links to, and quote brief excerpts of our content with attribution for non-commercial purposes. You may not reproduce, republish, or redistribute substantial portions of our content without prior written permission. To request permission, contact hello@meridian.press.
Newsletters
Newsletter subscriptions require your explicit consent and can be cancelled at any time via the unsubscribe link in every email or through your account settings. We do not share your email address with third parties for their marketing.
Finance and other educational content
Content in our finance, business, health, and legal coverage is published for general educational purposes only. It is not professional advice — see our Disclaimer. Nothing on Meridian creates a professional-client relationship of any kind.
Third-party links and services
Our articles may link to external websites and services. We are not responsible for their content, accuracy, or practices. Affiliate links, where present, are disclosed in the article.
Availability and changes
We work to keep Meridian available and accurate, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted access. We may modify, suspend, or discontinue parts of the service, and we may update these terms; material changes will be announced on the site, and continued use after changes take effect constitutes acceptance.
Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Meridian and its contributors are not liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the site or reliance on its content. Our total liability for any claim related to the site is limited to the amount you paid us for the service — which, for free readers, is zero.
Governing note
These terms are intended to be interpreted under general principles of contract and consumer-protection law applicable in your jurisdiction. Where local law grants you rights that cannot be waived, those rights are preserved. Nothing in these terms limits your statutory consumer rights.
