Sponsored Content Agreement
& Terms of Service

Operating entity: Tech-News-AI.com

Platforms: Tech-News-AI.com · TechGlobal.news

Effective date: June 1, 2026

Last updated: June 16, 2026

These Terms of Service and Sponsored Content Agreement ("Agreement") govern your access to and use of Tech-News-AI.com and TechGlobal.news (collectively, the "Platforms"). By accessing the Platforms or purchasing any service, you ("Client," "Advertiser," or "User") agree to be legally bound by this Agreement in its entirety.

If you do not agree to these terms, do not purchase or use our services.

1. Description of Services

Tech-News-AI.com provides AI-assisted sponsored article creation and distribution services ("Studio Services"). Clients submit a brief, our platform generates a professionally written sponsored article, and upon payment, the article is published on TechGlobal.news and distributed according to the selected tier.

Available distribution tiers include:

Local Spotlight ($29): Publication on TechGlobal.news with local SEO indexing
National Distribution ($79): Publication with national reach and Google News eligibility
Regional Reach ($149): Multi-market distribution across key regions
Global Distribution ($299): Full international distribution across 40+ countries

All published articles are labeled as "Sponsored Content" in compliance with FTC guidelines. Publication on TechGlobal.news does not guarantee inclusion in Google News, Google Discover, or any third-party feed, though the site is actively submitted and eligible. Distribution reach figures represent our total potential audience and are not guaranteed impression counts.

1b. EnvokedX Smart Verification System

Tech-News-AI.com uses the EnvokedX automated verification engine to review every article submission before publication. This system operates independently of human reviewers and performs three automated checks:

Website reachability: Confirms the submitted company website is live and accessible
Business legitimacy (Google Places): Searches Google Business to confirm the company exists, has a verifiable address, and ideally a published phone number
Content safety (AI analysis): Reviews article text for hate speech, racism, illegal activity, drug promotion, explicit content, fraud indicators, and other policy violations

Verification results are classified as:

Green: Article passes all checks and is published automatically
Yellow: Article is held for manual review. The submitter receives an email listing the specific flags. Tech-News-AI.com may contact the submitter by phone, email, or request supporting documentation to complete verification
Red: Article is rejected. The submitter receives an email explaining the reason. A full refund is issued automatically

Tech-News-AI.com reserves the right to override any automated result at its sole discretion. Submission of an article does not guarantee publication. The EnvokedX system is a tool designed to protect the integrity of the Platforms and the safety of all users.

1c. Syndication Rights & Third-Party Distribution

By submitting an article through Tech-News-AI.com, you grant Tech-News-AI.com a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, perpetual license to publish, display, distribute, syndicate, and sublicense your submitted content (including articles generated by our article engine based on your brief) across the Platforms and their approved distribution channels.

Third-party syndication, including but not limited to Google News, Apple News, Bing News, Flipboard, SmartNews, Feedly, and other aggregator platforms, may occur automatically as part of our publishing infrastructure. You expressly acknowledge and agree that:

Tech-News-AI.com is not required to pay you any royalty, fee, or compensation for such syndication, now or at any time in the future
You will not seek payment, penalties, damages, or legal action against Tech-News-AI.com or TechGlobal.news arising from the syndication or republication of your article by any third-party platform or aggregator
If a third-party platform independently selects, features, or republishes your article (e.g., Google News featuring your story globally), this constitutes editorial discretion by that third party, and Tech-News-AI.com bears no financial or legal obligation as a result of that selection
You grant Tech-News-AI.com the right to retain your article on the Platforms for the duration stated in your selected tier, and in our searchable archive thereafter at no additional cost

This syndication rights grant is a core condition of the service. If you do not agree to these terms, do not submit content through Tech-News-AI.com.

1d. Image & Media Copyright — User Liability

You are solely and exclusively responsible for all images, photographs, graphics, logos, videos, and other media ("Media") that you upload or submit through the Platform.

By uploading any Media, you represent and warrant that:

You are the original creator of the Media, or you hold a valid, transferable license or legal right to use and publish the Media in the manner submitted
The Media does not infringe on any copyright, trademark, right of publicity, right of privacy, or any other intellectual property or proprietary right of any third party
You have obtained all necessary releases and permissions from any individuals depicted in the Media

TechGlobal.news and Tech-News-AI.com expressly disclaim all liability for copyright infringement, trademark infringement, or any other intellectual property violations arising from user-submitted Media. Tech-News-AI.com does not review uploaded Media for copyright compliance prior to publication.

You agree to fully indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Tech-News-AI.com and its members, officers, employees, and agents from and against any and all claims, demands, losses, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to any Media you submit, including any claim of copyright infringement or unauthorized use of any image or video.

If you receive a takedown notice or legal claim related to Media you submitted, you must notify Tech-News-AI.com immediately at legal@techglobal.news and cooperate fully in any removal or resolution. Tech-News-AI.com reserves the right to remove any Media at any time without notice if it reasonably suspects a copyright violation.

2. Payment & Billing

All prices are in U.S. dollars. Payment is processed securely via Stripe. By completing a purchase, you authorize Tech-News-AI.com to charge the applicable fee to your payment method. All sales are final at the time of successful Stripe payment confirmation.

Prices are subject to change at any time without notice. The price displayed at checkout is the price you will be charged. Promotional pricing applies only during the stated promotional period.

3. Refund Policy

All sales are final. Because our services involve the immediate creation and publication of digital content, refunds are not available once a Stripe payment has been successfully processed and the article has been published.

Exception — EnvokedX verification failure: If your article is rejected by the EnvokedX automated verification system after payment (Red status), or remains in manual review (Yellow status) for more than 5 business days without resolution, you are entitled to a full refund. Refunds for verification failures are processed automatically or upon request to studio@techglobal.news within 30 days of submission. No refund is issued for articles that pass verification and are published.

Article revision policy: If you are not satisfied with the published article, Tech-News-AI.com will make a reasonable effort to revise and republish the article at no additional charge. To request a revision, contact us at studio@techglobal.news within 7 days of publication with specific, detailed feedback.

Revisions that change the fundamental nature of the article, require a different company or product, or request content that violates this Agreement are not covered under the revision policy.

Article Quality Guarantee — Pro-Rated Refund

We stand behind every article our team produces. If Tech-News-AI.com determines, at its sole editorial discretion, that a published article contains a significant error — such as materially incorrect facts, wrong company details, garbled or incoherent prose, or content that misrepresents your business in a way that could cause reputational harm — we will immediately remove the article and issue a pro-rated refund calculated as follows:

Time article was live	Refund issued
Under 24 hours	100% — full refund
1 – 7 days	Refund minus a daily rate for each day published
8 – 30 days	Refund minus proportional amount for days published
Over 30 days	No refund — primary distribution window has elapsed

How the daily rate is calculated: Your purchase price is divided by 180 (the standard 6-month active period). Each full calendar day the article was live is deducted from your refund at that daily rate, rounded to the nearest dollar. The minimum refund processed is $5.00 to offset payment processing costs.

Example: You paid $79 for the National tier. The article ran for 4 days before we identified a significant factual error and removed it. Daily rate: $79 ÷ 180 ≈ $0.44/day. Deduction: 4 × $0.44 = $1.76. You receive $77.24 back.

Important distinctions: This guarantee applies only to errors introduced by our article engine or our platform — not to dissatisfaction with tone, style, or angle (covered by the revision policy above), and not to content removed for violating Section 4 of this Agreement (no refund applies in that case). Third-party syndication or republication by external news aggregators after initial publication is outside our control and does not affect refund eligibility.

To report a potential article quality issue, email studio@techglobal.news with the subject line "Quality Issue — [Your Company Name]". We review all quality reports within 1 business day and will notify you of our editorial decision and any applicable refund within 3 business days.

4. Content Standards & Prohibited Content
