Terms of Use

Last updated: 3 November 2026

1. Who we are and these terms

TechAnnouncer.com (“TechAnnouncer”, “we”, “us”, the “Website”) is a technology news, press release and company-signals publication operated by Rich Media Network Ltd, a company registered in England and Wales. Rich Media Network Ltd is the contracting party under these terms.

By using the Website, or by creating an account, buying a membership or publishing with us, you agree to these Terms of Use and our Privacy Policy. If you don’t agree, please don’t use the Website. If you accept these terms on behalf of a company or client, you confirm that you are authorised to bind them.

2. Using the Website

You may read the Website and share links to it. You agree not to:

  • copy, republish, scrape, harvest or redistribute our content, in whole or in part, without our written permission, except as allowed in section 13;
  • use the Website unlawfully or fraudulently, or in a way that harms it or interferes with its operation or security;
  • try to gain unauthorised access to the Website, its servers, other members’ accounts or any connected systems;
  • introduce viruses, malware or other harmful code; or
  • misrepresent who you are, or your affiliation, when you deal with us or submit content.

3. Your account

  • You must be 18 or over to create an account or buy any service.
  • Give accurate information and keep it up to date. Each login is for one person; teams should use the seats included in their plan.
  • Keep your password secure. You are responsible for everything done through your account. Tell us straight away if you think someone else has used it.
  • You can update your profile, photo and preferences in your workspace at any time. To close your account, contact us. Closing your account does not refund fees already paid, except where section 7 or the law says otherwise.

4. Memberships and subscriptions

  • Plans. Our plans and what each includes are set out on our membership page at the time you buy. Prices are in US dollars and exclude any applicable taxes, which are added at checkout.
  • Automatic renewal. Paid memberships renew automatically each month or year, depending on what you chose, and are charged to your payment method until you cancel.
  • Cancelling. You can cancel any time through Manage billing in your account. Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing period, and you keep access until then. We don’t give refunds for partial periods, except where section 7 or the law requires it.
  • Failed payments. If a renewal payment fails, our payment provider will try again. If payment still isn’t received, your membership and its included posts may be paused or ended.
  • Price changes. We may change our prices. Any change to an existing subscription applies from your next renewal after we have given you at least 30 days’ notice by email. You can cancel before the new price applies.
  • Offers. Promotional offers, such as founding-member discounts, apply only on the terms and for the period stated in the offer. They can’t be exchanged for cash or combined with other offers unless the offer says so.

5. Credits

  • What credits are. Publishing a press release or article uses one credit. Credits come from your membership’s monthly or yearly allowance, from one-off packs, or from a welcome credit where offered.
  • Membership allowance. The posts included in a membership are available for the current billing period. Unused posts don’t roll over, and the allowance ends when the membership ends.
  • Packs. One-off packs of press releases or articles can be used within 12 months of purchase, and expire after that.
  • When a credit is used. A credit is used when a post is published or scheduled. Saving a draft is free. If our editors decline a post, the credit is returned to your account.
  • Credits have no cash value, can’t be transferred to another account, and are refunded only as described in section 7.

6. Payments

Payments are processed securely by Stripe. By paying, you also agree to Stripe’s terms for payment processing. Receipts and invoices are emailed to you and are available through Manage billing. If you dispute a charge, please contact us first so we can resolve it quickly.

7. Cancellation rights and refunds

Our services are designed for business use. If you are buying as a consumer, you have a legal right to cancel within 14 days of purchase. If you ask us to start providing the service within that period, for example by publishing a post or using your membership, you must pay for what has been provided up to the time you cancel. You lose the right to cancel once the service has been fully provided.

Apart from this, and apart from credits returned when a post is declined, payments are non-refundable unless we fail to provide what you paid for or the law requires a refund. To request a refund, use our contact page. Nothing in these terms affects your statutory rights.

8. Publishing on TechAnnouncer

Types of content. TechAnnouncer publishes three kinds of content, and each post is labelled so readers can tell them apart:

  • Editorial content: news and analysis by our editors and contributors.
  • Press releases: announcements published by companies and their representatives.
  • Sponsored content: articles that promote a product, service or offer, published on behalf of the advertiser.

When you publish, you choose how each post is labelled and how its links are marked (standard, nofollow or sponsored). Company press releases, announcements and sponsored posts always carry a label, because UK law requires paid promotion to be clearly identified. Standard links on company or sponsored posts are checked by an editor before they go live, and editors may review any post and change its label or link marking where its content calls for it. Promotions that invite people to invest, including in cryptoassets, can only be published with approval from an FCA-authorised firm, which you declare when you publish.

Automated checks and review. Every post is checked automatically against our editorial standards. Posts that pass may be published immediately or at the time you schedule. Posts that are flagged are held for review by our editors, who may publish, ask you to make changes, or decline them. Changes to a live post go through the same checks. If an edit is flagged, the live version stays as it is until an editor approves the change.

Our editorial rights. We may edit posts for formatting, length, clarity, house style, labelling and legal compliance. We may set link attributes (such as sponsored or nofollow), remove links or images, and decline, unpublish or remove any post that breaches these terms or our standards. Publication does not mean we endorse a post’s content, products or claims.

Your responsibilities. You are responsible for everything you publish. When you submit content, including text, images, logos and quotes, you confirm that:

  • it is accurate and not misleading, and you are authorised to publish it on behalf of any person or company it represents;
  • you own it or have all the rights and permissions needed to publish it, including for any images and for anyone named or pictured;
  • it does not infringe anyone’s rights and is not defamatory, unlawful, obscene, hateful or spam;
  • it is not a financial promotion or investment advice, and it does not make claims that need regulatory approval; and
  • any commercial relationship, sponsorship or payment connected with it is disclosed.

Licence. You keep ownership of your content. You grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, perpetual licence to host, publish, edit as described above, archive, distribute and promote it on the Website and our channels, including newsletters, social media, news services such as Apple News, and search engines.

After your membership ends. Published posts stay on TechAnnouncer as part of the public record after your membership ends or your account closes. You can ask us to unpublish a post. We will do so within a reasonable time unless we need to keep it for legal reasons or because it is part of a paid placement that is still running. Credits used for that post are not refunded.

Media library and profile. Images in your media library and your profile photo must meet the same rules as your posts. We may remove any image that breaches them. Images that are still used in a published post can’t be deleted until they are removed from the post.

9. Comments and other submissions

The licence and responsibilities in section 8 also apply to comments, interview answers and anything else you send us to publish. We may edit, decline or remove such submissions, and we may suspend commenting at our discretion.

10. Signals and company data

Company signals, saved searches, alerts and related data on the Website are for your own information and internal business use. You may not bulk export, resell, republish or build a competing database from them without a Signals Data Licence or other written agreement with us. Signals are drawn from public announcements and reporting and may be incomplete or out of date.

11. Featured placements and newsletter sponsorships

Featured placements and Morning Signal sponsorships run for the period stated when you buy them. They are clearly labelled, and the content you supply is subject to section 8. If we can’t run a booked placement for reasons within our control, we will reschedule it or refund the unused part.

12. Suspension and termination

We may suspend or close your account, unpublish your content or refuse service if you seriously or repeatedly breach these terms, misuse the Website, fail to pay, or if the law requires it. Where it is reasonable to do so, we will tell you first and give you a chance to put things right. If we close your account without good reason, we will refund unused credits and any prepaid membership for the remaining period.

13. Intellectual property and permitted use

All content on the Website, including articles, images, graphics, logos, design, databases and code, is owned by or licensed to us and is protected by intellectual property laws. Content that members publish remains theirs, subject to the licence in section 8.

You may read our articles and share links to them, including on social media. You may also quote short extracts for criticism, review or news reporting, with clear credit and a link to the original article, as fair dealing allows. You may not reproduce substantial parts of our content, use it commercially, remove credits or copyright notices, or frame the Website in a way that misrepresents where it comes from, unless we agree in writing.

14. Automated access, scraping and AI training

Automated access to the Website by crawlers, scrapers, bots and AI agents is allowed only in line with our robots directives and these terms. Content on the Website may not be collected, extracted or used to train, fine-tune or ground artificial intelligence models, or to create datasets, without our prior written licence. Search engines may index the Website to direct people to it. To ask about content licensing, please contact us.

15. Content disclaimer

The Website provides news, commentary and general information only. Press releases and sponsored content reflect the views of their authors or the organisations behind them, not TechAnnouncer. We take reasonable care, but we do not guarantee that any content is accurate, complete or up to date. Nothing on the Website is professional advice of any kind, including financial, investment, legal, tax or technical advice. Take independent advice before acting on anything you read here.

16. Cryptocurrency and financial content risk warning

We publish news and articles about cryptocurrencies, digital assets and financial technology. This content is for information only and is not investment advice, a recommendation, or an offer to buy or sell any asset. Cryptocurrency markets are highly volatile and largely unregulated, and you may not be protected by investor protection or compensation schemes. You could lose all the money you invest. Never invest money you can’t afford to lose, and consult an independent financial adviser before making any investment decision. We accept no liability for losses arising from transactions in, or decisions about, any asset mentioned on the Website.

17. Third-party links and advertising

The Website contains links to other websites and shows third-party advertising. We don’t control third parties and are not responsible for their content, products, services or privacy practices. A link or advertisement is not an endorsement. Any dealings you have with third parties, including advertisers, are between you and them.

18. Availability

We work to keep the Website and your workspace available and secure. However, they are provided “as is” and “as available”, and we can’t guarantee they will always be uninterrupted or error-free. We may change, suspend or withdraw features, but we won’t remove something you have paid for without offering a fair alternative or refund. Keep your own copies of anything important you publish. Anything you download from the Website is at your own risk.

19. Limitation of liability

Nothing in these terms excludes or limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for anything else that cannot be excluded or limited under the law of England and Wales.

Subject to that, and as far as the law allows:

  • we exclude all implied conditions, warranties and representations about the Website and its content;
  • we are not liable for any loss of profits, revenue, business, data or goodwill, or for any indirect or consequential loss, arising from your use of the Website or our services, from your inability to use them, or from your reliance on any content; and
  • our total liability to you in connection with the Website and our services is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim, or £100 if you have paid us nothing.

If you are a consumer, nothing in these terms affects your statutory rights.

20. Indemnity

If you publish content or use our services for business purposes, you agree to compensate us for any losses, liabilities and costs we reasonably incur, including reasonable legal fees, arising from content you submit or your breach of these terms.

21. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time, and the date at the top shows the latest version. If a change significantly affects account holders, we will email you before it takes effect. Changes to the price of an existing subscription follow section 4. If you keep using the Website or your account after a change takes effect, the updated terms apply.

22. General

If any part of these terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the rest still applies. If we don’t enforce a term straight away, we can still enforce it later. These terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any terms shown when you buy a service, are the entire agreement between you and us about the Website and our services.

23. Governing law

These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute. If you are a consumer living elsewhere in the UK or in the EU, you may also bring proceedings in the courts where you live, where the law entitles you to do so.
