Effective November 9, 2026
These Terms of Service govern the public informational website at thecultured.us, operated as part of Microculture Intelligence. By using the website, you agree to these terms to the extent permitted by applicable law. If you do not agree, please stop using the website.
About this website
The Cultured describes our approach to culture, publishing and artificial intelligence. This corporate website does not itself create a reader account, run an AI chat, collect a purchase, start a subscription or provide a paid entitlement. An independently branded publication or product may have its own customer agreement, privacy notice, service features and pricing.
Acceptable use
You may read the public site, share ordinary links and make lawful use of its material. Do not attempt unauthorized access, disrupt its operation, introduce malicious code, misrepresent an affiliation with us or violate another person's legal rights. We may take proportionate measures to protect the website from misuse.
Content and intellectual property
Our original writing, layouts, identity and other materials may be protected by copyright, trademark and similar laws. Third-party works remain the property of their respective owners. Nothing here removes lawful rights to quote, link, criticize, parody or make other uses permitted by applicable law. No permission is granted to represent that we endorse you or to commercially reproduce the site as a whole without authorization.
Our descriptions are editorial and informational. We do not claim to be a member of, or to speak for, every community whose culture we study. To report an error or ask about permission to use material, write to info@thecultured.us.
Artificial intelligence and accuracy
Our broader work includes AI-assisted publications and conversational products, which may produce inaccurate, incomplete or outdated information. The corporate site itself does not accept AI prompts or supply individualized legal, financial, medical or other professional advice. Verify consequential information independently and consult a qualified professional where appropriate.
Purchases, renewals and refunds
Visiting this site does not charge you or enroll you in a recurring payment. If a separate product offers a purchase or subscription, its checkout and applicable terms should disclose the actual seller or merchant, price, currency, taxes, subscription period, renewal and cancellation process, refund conditions and support channel before payment. A hosted payment provider may process the transaction. A successful return URL alone is not proof of a charge, receipt or entitlement.
For questions about an actual purchase, consult the relevant product's purchase terms and receipt or contact info@thecultured.us with its name and a non-sensitive reference. Do not email full card details. Mandatory refund, cancellation and consumer protection rights remain unaffected.
Links and third-party services
This website may link to independent publishers, platforms and other services for information or convenience. Their content, availability, terms and privacy notices are their responsibility. A link does not necessarily imply partnership, sponsorship or endorsement.
Availability and changes
We aim to keep the website useful and accessible, but content and availability may change. We may correct, update or remove material and modify these terms. We will provide notice where law requires it. No website description guarantees the future availability of a particular product or feature.
Liability and applicable rights
To the extent permitted by applicable law, the website is provided as available, without a guarantee that its content is error-free or suitable for every purpose. Nothing in these terms excludes liability or statutory warranties that cannot legally be excluded, limits mandatory consumer rights, or imposes mandatory arbitration. Disputes are subject to applicable law and courts with proper jurisdiction.
Privacy and contact
Our Privacy Policy at thecultured.us/privacy/ explains information handling on this corporate website. Contact info@thecultured.us about these terms, corrections, privacy requests, partnerships or general assistance. Please include enough information to identify the matter without sending passwords or full payment-card details.
