Terms

The terms of use for this site and the editorial position the desk takes on disputes.

Acceptance of terms

By using this site, the reader accepts these terms. The desk may revise the terms from time to time; revisions are dated and posted on the dispatch stream.

What the desk publishes

The desk publishes editorial content on esports tournaments, matches, teams, players, games and patch context. Editorial content is sourced from the Tier-1 sources named on the evidence register. The desk does not publish wagering guidance.

What the reader agrees to

The reader agrees to use the editorial content for personal, non-commercial reference only. The reader agrees not to redistribute the editorial content as if it were the reader's own. The reader agrees to attribute the desk where the reader quotes the desk's editorial content.

Disclaimers

The desk's editorial content is provided as-is. The desk does not warrant the accuracy of any editorial content; the desk's corrections policy at /about/#corrections describes how the desk handles errors.

Limitation of liability

The desk is not liable for any loss the reader suffers as a result of using the editorial content. The desk's editorial content is provided for informational purposes only and does not constitute wagering guidance, financial advice or any other professional advice.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which the desk is registered. Disputes are resolved in the courts of that jurisdiction.

Reader depth

Reading the terms of use against the editorial practice

Three habits the desk follows when reading the terms of use against the editorial practice.

The first habit is to keep the terms short by design. The desk's terms of use are short enough that a reader can re-read the terms in under three minutes and audit the desk's editorial practice against the terms. The terms are published on /terms/ and reproduced in summary form in the footer of every page. The desk does not expand the terms into a long-form contract unless a reader asks for the expansion.

The second habit is to keep the disclaimer section plain language. The desk's editorial content is provided as-is; the desk does not warrant the accuracy of any editorial content; the desk's corrections policy describes how the desk handles errors. The plain-language disclaimer is dated on the terms itself so a reader can audit the cadence. The desk does not publish legal disclaimers in language the reader cannot follow without legal context.

The third habit is to keep the governing-law section short by design. The terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which the desk is registered; disputes are resolved in the courts of that jurisdiction. The governing-law section is short enough to fit in a single browser tab; the desk does not expand the section into a legal treatise without a reader asking for the expansion.

Where the desk diverges from coverage that mirrors trade-press reads is on the terms-discipline policy. Trade press will sometimes publish terms that do not name what content the terms apply to. The desk does not. The desk names what content the terms apply to, the editorial source the desk uses, and the cadence the desk follows when terms are revised.

The desk also treats the terms as a working document. Rows move up the terms-ladder as sources confirm; rows that fall off the publisher or operator page get removed, not retained as a footnote. The terms are rebuilt from publisher and operator pages only. A row the desk kept for "tracking purposes" is a row the reader cannot verify, so the desk removes rather than retains. This is sometimes the slower choice; it is always the more honest choice.

Editorial cycle: weekday-morning source-scan, weekday-afternoon narrative-edit, weekly patch workshop. Verification timestamps on the dispatch stream.

Editorial working notes

How the desk reads this

A working description of the editorial cadence the desk follows on this route.

The terms are built around the editorial scope the desk operates in. The desk publishes editorial content on esports tournaments, matches, teams, players, games and patch context. The terms cover that scope; the terms do not extend to wagering, merchandising, sponsorship or any other commercial activity the desk does not engage in.

Where the terms cover the disclosed first-party route. The terms cover the desk's editorial responsibility; the disclosed first-party route operated by gogotofly.com is governed by the operator's terms, not the desk's terms. Readers who follow the disclosed first-party route are subject to the operator's terms. The desk's editorial responsibility ends at the link to the operator's product page.

Where the terms diverge from coverage that mirrors trade-press reads. Trade press will sometimes publish terms that do not name what content the terms apply to. The desk does not. The desk names what content the terms apply to, the editorial source the desk uses, and the cadence the desk follows when terms are revised.

What the terms are not. The terms are not a tax filing, not an SEC filing, not an FCC filing. The desk is a small editorial team and the terms are the desk's own document. Where a regulator requires the desk to file separate terms, the desk files the separate terms with the regulator and references the regulatory terms from this page.

What the desk will do if a reader files an inquiry about the terms. The desk replies within 24 hours on weekdays with a one-line correction noting what the terms cover and a link to the editorial-ethics page for the broader context. Where the reader's inquiry raises a question the desk has not previously considered, the desk adds the question to the terms' reader-inquiry log and replies with the desk's draft answer.

Worked example

How the cycle reads in practice

A worked trace of the editorial cycle on this page.

A worked example of a reader's use of the editorial content. A reader emails the desk with a quote from the desk's editorial copy. The reader attributes the quote to the desk with a link to the page the reader quoted from. The desk replies within 24 hours acknowledging the attribution and noting that the editorial content is provided for personal, non-commercial reference only.

Where the terms cover a worked acceptance-of-terms example. A reader follows a link to /terms/ from a reader notice. The reader reads the terms in under three minutes. The reader accepts the terms by continuing to use the site. The acceptance is implicit; the desk does not require a click-through acknowledgement.

Where the terms cover a worked disclaimer example. The desk publishes a dispatch line on the dispatch stream. The dispatch line is provided as-is; the desk does not warrant the accuracy of any editorial content; the desk's corrections policy describes how the desk handles errors. The disclaimer is dated on the terms page.

Where the terms cover a worked limitation-of-liability example. A reader follows a wagering-guidance read on a separate publication after reading the desk's editorial copy. The reader suffers a loss; the reader does not blame the desk because the desk's editorial copy did not include wagering guidance. The limitation-of-liability section is the legal basis for the desk's scope.

Where the terms cover a worked governing-law example. A reader emails the desk with a question about the terms' governing-law section. The desk replies within 24 hours citing the terms' governing-law section and the laws of the jurisdiction in which the desk is registered. The reply is short by design; the desk does not expand the reply into a legal treatise.

Editorial practice

How the desk reads this in practice

A working description of the editorial cadence the desk follows on this page.

A worked example of an acceptance-of-terms review. The desk reviews the acceptance-of-terms section at the end of each calendar month. The review reads the section against the desk's editorial cycle, the corrections register, and the editorial-ethics page. Where the review changes the acceptance-of-terms section, the terms page is updated with the change. Where the section is consistent with the editorial cycle, the terms page is left alone.

Where the terms cover what the desk publishes as editorial content. The desk publishes editorial content on esports tournaments, matches, teams, players, games and patch context. Editorial content is sourced from the Tier-1 sources named on the evidence register. The desk does not publish wagering guidance; the desk does not publish performance ratings; the desk does not publish streaming directories.

Where the terms cover what the desk is not. The desk is not a wagering service, not a merchandising service, not a sponsorship service, not a coaching service, not a streaming directory. The terms page names what the desk does and does not publish; the terms page is the desk's editorial scope as it relates to the terms. The editorial scope is the desk's editorial cycle on the editorial pages the desk publishes.

Where the terms cover the disclosure's relationship to the terms. The disclosed first-party route operated by gogotofly.com is governed by the operator's terms, not the desk's. Readers who follow the disclosed first-party route are subject to the operator's terms. The desk's terms cover the desk's editorial scope; the disclosure covers the desk's commercial relationship.

What the desk will do if the terms are updated. The desk publishes a dated dispatch on the dispatch stream if the terms are updated. The dispatch stream is the audit trail for every change the desk makes to the terms. Readers who follow the dispatch stream can audit the desk's editorial hygiene against the public terms. The cadence is documented on /methods/.
