We are building a platform for thoughtful, unbiased content by allowing writers to monetize their work on their terms and enabling readers to connect with content that speaks to them while supporting those writers.
Our business is still growing, and so our Site and our Services may change from time to time. We may offer new features, and certain other features may become unavailable. We may, in our discretion, update and amend these Legal Terms from time to time, including by adding, deleting or modifying terms. We will alert you about any changes by updating the "Last updated" date of these Legal Terms, and you waive any right to receive specific notice of each such change. It is your responsibility to periodically review these Legal Terms to stay informed of updates.

Welcome to the LedeWire community of readers, where you can support your favorite writers.
As a reader, you can purchase credits ("Credits") through your LedeWire Account to buy a writer's content ("Contributions") offered by writers through our Site. Credits may only be redeemed through the Site on our Services, have no cash value, are non-refundable and are not transferable unless specified otherwise. Unless otherwise disclosed to you at the time of purchase or subject to promotional terms and conditions, or unless you terminate your LedeWire Account, Credits do not expire.
You may purchase Credits using approved forms of payment, which include but may not be limited to credit cards issued by Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover. Payments are processed through a third-party provider, and additional fees may be charged by your card issuer, network, or the third-party provider per their terms of service or other agreements.
You agree to provide current, complete, and accurate purchase and account information for all purchases made via the Services. We are not responsible for failed transactions that are due to errors in the payment information submitted to us. Sales tax will be added to the price of purchases as deemed required by us. We may change prices at any time. All payments shall be in US dollars.
We may, in our sole discretion, limit or cancel quantities purchased per person, per household, or per order. We reserve the right to limit or prohibit orders that, in our sole discretion, appear to be made in violation of these Legal Terms or applicable laws and regulations.
When you purchase Contributions, you are purchasing a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, perpetual, and revocable license to access and make personal and non-commercial use of the purchased Contribution. This license does not include any resale or commercial use of purchased Contribution; any collection and use of any Contribution listings, descriptions, or prices; any derivative use; any downloading, copying, or other use of account information for the benefit of any third party; or any use of data mining, robots, or similar data gathering and extraction tools. All rights not expressly granted to you in this license or these Legal Terms are reserved and retained by us or our writers, licensors, or other content providers, as applicable. No purchased Contributions may be reproduced, duplicated, copied, sold, resold, visited, or otherwise exploited for any commercial purpose without express written consent of the applicable writer. This license will terminate if you do not comply with this license or these Legal Terms.
Once we have made purchased Contribution available to you for download, we encourage you to download the Contribution promptly after purchase. As a convenience to you we may continue to make your purchased Contribution available for re-download through your LedeWire Account, but we do not guarantee that such Contribution will be available for re-download and we will not be liable to you if it becomes unavailable for further re-download.
We may add or remove purchasable and promotional Contributions from our Site or Service, at any time and make no guarantee as to the availability of a specific Contribution. Some Contributions may be offered in limited territories, and we may use geofiltering technology to restrict access outside of those territories.
Once purchased, Credits are not refundable. Contributions purchased are generally not refundable after they have been purchased, but if you have made an error (e.g., selected the wrong Contribution for purchase), please promptly reach out to our customer support team at hello@ledewire.com.
If you engage with any posted content or Contributions, whether as a writer or as a reader, including but not limited to, by commenting or liking on anyone else's content or Contributions (together, "User Content"), then you represent and warrant to us that you own all right, title and interest in your User Content, and that you have the authority or license to post, upload or otherwise share your User Content with LedeWire. You retain all ownership rights in your User Content, but by uploading or submitting any User Content to our Site or through our Services, you grant us a non-exclusive, transferable, unlimited, worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, sub-licensable and royalty-free license to use, modify, adapt, reproduce, make derivative works of, publish and/or transmit, and store that User Content and to distribute and make it available to third parties for the purposes of providing, developing, optimizing, improving and promoting or enhancing our Site or any of our Services, or any other products or services, whether offered by us or a third party, that may be relevant to your User Content.
You acknowledge that if you post User Content to or through our Site, your User Content may be visible to other users. All User Content will be considered non-confidential. You must not post or otherwise transmit any User Content through our Site that you consider to be confidential, including but not limited to, your personal information or any specific financial information, e.g., your bank account details.
You agree that any User Content you post shall abide by the Community Guidelines.
You acknowledge and agree that when you view Contributions or User Content provided by others on our Site or through our Services, you are doing so at your own risk. You acknowledge that Contributions and User Content have not been verified or approved by LedeWire, and that LedeWire has no obligation to pre-screen, monitor, review or edit any User Content or Contributions posted by you or other users on the Site or the Services. By using our Site or any of the Services, you may be exposed to Contributions or User Content that is offensive, indecent, inaccurate, or objectionable. We take no responsibility and assume no liability for any Contributions or User Content, including any loss or damage to your Contributions or User Content.

To become a writer, simply create your LedeWire Account accordingly and you can get started on posting your content ("Contributions").
As a writer, you may make your Contributions available through the Site or our Services. You can set your own pricing in terms of Credits, which will be converted into currency based on the rates posted on the Site or in our Services.
We may block or withhold access to your payout for violations of these Legal Terms or our Community Guidelines or for compliance reasons, including collecting tax reporting information. When this happens, we try to communicate the reason to you promptly. If you have questions about access to funds being blocked or withheld, please reach out to us. In order to protect writers, we may block readers' payments if we believe them to be fraudulent. Sometimes activities like refunds and chargebacks can put your account balance into the negative. If your balance becomes negative, we reserve the right to recover those funds from future payments.
Because of the issues listed above, and also if we require a minimum threshold to be earned before we process your payout, you may occasionally experience delays in accessing your funds.
In order to satisfy our tax obligations, we collect tax identification information and, in certain circumstances, report this information and earnings to tax authorities as legally required. For example, if you are located in the United States or are a United States citizen who has earned $600 or more, we are required to issue you a Form 1099-K at year end. For purposes of Forms 1099-K, we treat all writer earnings as earned for the sales of goods or services. You are responsible for reporting any income, withholding, or other earnings-based taxes which may be due as a result of money you've earned on our Site or through our Services.
Amounts payable under these Legal Terms may include sales tax where applicable. You agree that you will provide us with any information and documents for accurate tax determination and compliance, where and as we request or as otherwise required.
