Subscribers may not:

5. Licence

Your subscription grants you a personal, non-transferable, non-exclusive licence to receive and read The Memo for your own professional use. This licence does not include any right to reproduce, distribute, or create derivative works.

6. Watermarking and Tracking

Each briefing is individually watermarked and traceable to the subscriber to whom it was delivered. Breach of these terms may be detected through these measures.

7. Enforcement

Violation of these terms may result in immediate termination of your subscription without refund. We reserve the right to pursue legal remedies for any breach, including claims for damages and injunctive relief.

8. Disclaimer

The Memo is provided for informational purposes only. It does not constitute investment advice, legal advice, or any other form of professional counsel. We make no guarantees regarding the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of the information provided. Content may be prepared with the assistance of AI-based research and editorial tools.

9. AI-Assisted Preparation

The Memo uses artificial intelligence and automated research tools in the preparation of its briefings. All content is reviewed and editorially approved before publication. The use of AI does not diminish our commitment to accuracy, but readers should be aware that no intelligence briefing — human or AI-assisted — constitutes professional advice.

10. Governing Law

These terms are governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany. The courts of Augsburg shall have exclusive jurisdiction for any disputes arising from these terms.

We may update these terms from time to time. Continued use of the service after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
