Terms of Service

Terms of Service Effective Date: February 24, 2025 1. Welcome to Ur Startup Sucks Congrats! You’ve stumbled into Ur Startup Sucks, a newsletter that delivers brutal honesty, startup fails, and occasionally useful insights straight to your inbox. By subscribing, visiting our website, or using our services, you’re agreeing to these Terms of Service (TOS). If you don’t like them, your only option is to unsubscribe and go back to reading boring business blogs. 2. What You’re Signing Up For We send emails containing startup wisdom, sarcasm, and snark. We promise not to spam you with nonsense—just content you actually signed up for. You can unsubscribe at any time, no hard feelings (okay, maybe a little). 3. Who Can Subscribe? You must be at least 18 years old (or have parental permission). No bots, no fake emails, no signing up your enemies (unless they deserve it). 4. Privacy & Data Protection (GDPR & CCPA Compliance) We take privacy seriously (even if we don’t take ourselves too seriously). Here’s the deal: We collect your email, name (if provided), and engagement data to send you cool stuff. We do not sell or share your personal info with third parties because that’s shady. You can request to see, edit, or delete your data at any time—just email us at [insert email]. If you’re in the EU (GDPR) or California (CCPA), you have the right to access, delete, and object to how we handle your data. For full details, see our Privacy Policy. 5. Unsubscribing & Account Deletion If you’re tired of our emails, you can unsubscribe anytime using the link in any email or by emailing us at [insert email]. We’ll remove you from our list, and you’ll never hear from us again (unless we run into you at a startup event). 6. Intellectual Property & Content Use All content we send is ours (text, images, jokes, bad startup advice). You can’t steal, copy, or republish our content without permission—unless it’s to make fun of us, in which case, carry on. 7. Disclaimers & Liability (aka Don’t Blame Us) We offer advice, insights, and startup horror stories, but we are not responsible for your business decisions. If you lose money, pivot into disaster, or burn investor cash, that’s on you. We don’t guarantee accuracy (because, let’s be real, the startup world changes daily). 8. Changes to These Terms We might update these TOS from time to time. If we do, we’ll notify you by email or posting an update on the site. If you keep using the site after changes, you’re agreeing to the new terms—simple as that. 9. Contact Us Questions? Complaints? Startup regrets? Email us at [email protected]. We may or may not respond, depending on how much coffee we’ve had.
