SPACInsider Contributor Terms

CONTRIBUTOR TERMS

The SPACInsider Site permits the submission of Content by users of the Site, specifically (“Contributor Submissions”) and the hosting, sharing and publishing of such Contributor Submissions on the Site. SPACInsider has the right in its sole discretion and without further notice to you, to monitor, censor, edit, move, delete, and/or remove any and all Content posted on its Site or any Content submitted through the Contributor Intel portal for any reason. Without limiting the foregoing, SPACInsider has the right to delete any comment or Content that it believes, in its sole discretion, does or may violate the Terms of Use of the Site by you.

On Contributor Submissions, SPACInsider reserves the right to remove content that violates one of the following principles, as determined by SPACInsider, at our discretion:

  • No incitement to hatred. Material that promotes hatred toward groups based on race or ethnic origin, religion, disability, gender, age, veteran status, or sexual orientation/gender identity will be removed.
  • No direct or veiled threats against any person or group of people.
  • No copyright infringement
  • No plagiarism. This includes posting content verbatim from other sources without proper attribution and/or repurposing content from other sources and presenting it without reference to the content’s creator.
  • No publishing of other people’s personal  information, such as credit card numbers, Social Security Numbers, and driver’s and other license numbers.
  • No impersonation of others in a manner that is intended to or does mislead or confuse others.
  • No use for unlawful purposes or for promotion of dangerous and illegal activities.
  • No spamming, link-spamming or transmitting malware and viruses.
  • No personal attacks.
  • No profanity or vulgarity.
  • No business solicitations or advertising.
  • No inappropriate, unethical or misleading behavior.

Important note: SPACInsider encourages civil, thought-provoking debate and idea-sharing among investors and SPAC-market followers. In order to maintain a level of discourse appropriate for our readership, we are strongly opposed to trolling, uncivilized discussion, mudslinging, inappropriate language, and blanket dismissal of others’ ideas. At our discretion, we may delete comments and articles, and block/delete accounts of users we believe lower the level of discourse and courtesy we strive to engender.

The SPACInsider site is intended to serve as a discussion center for thoughtful users who make their own investment decisions, with or without the help of a broker. All contributors are required to disclose any positions they have in stocks being discussed.

These standards are designed to ensure that the dialogue on the Site is credible, responsible, intelligent and informative. We cannot guarantee that users will tell the truth. However, by setting out the above guidelines, we hope to raise the credibility of the discussion and foster a spirit of open, honest exchanges of information.

If an author has a business relationship with a company named in an article that he or she has authored, that relationship must be fully and accurately disclosed.

If you have any comments on our policies, or complaints or concerns of any kind about any posts, please contact us at customerservice@spacinsider.com. We will review all of the information that you communicate to us, but we may not be able to take action or respond directly to each email.
