Acceptance of terms
By accessing or using The Synergist Daily Quarterly (the "site"), you agree to these Terms of Use. If you do not agree to these terms, please do not use the site. These terms apply to every visitor and to every subscriber of our newsletter.
What this site is
The Synergist Daily Quarterly is a satirical publication. The articles, author profiles, frameworks, companies, surveys, citations, and quotations on this site are works of satire and fiction — see also section 5, "No real people; no defamation."
Subscribers
The Synergist Daily Quarterly publishes a free email newsletter. Subscribing is voluntary, requires only an email address and an optional name, and uses double opt-in: after submitting the signup form, you receive a confirmation email and your subscription is not active until you confirm it.
Newsletter delivery is fulfilled by Buttondown. Subscriber data handling — including what we collect, how Buttondown processes it, and how to exercise your data rights — is described in our Privacy Policy. Every newsletter email contains an unsubscribe link; unsubscribing is immediate.
Intellectual property
Except where otherwise noted, all content on this site — including articles, author bylines, illustrations, hero images, and original layout — is the property of The Synergist Daily Quarterly and is protected under applicable copyright laws.
You are welcome to quote brief excerpts and to share links to articles on social platforms, in newsletters, or in academic and editorial contexts, with appropriate attribution to The Synergist Daily Quarterly and a link back to the original article. Reuse beyond brief quotation, particularly for commercial purposes, requires advance written permission — see "Contact" below.
No real people; no defamation
The authors, companies, organizations, products, frameworks, surveys, summits, citations, and quotations referenced on this site are fictional. Names, professional histories, biographical details, and reported statements are invented for satirical effect. Any resemblance to real people, real companies, real events, or real publications is coincidental and unintentional.
Where the site comments on broadly recognizable patterns of behavior or industry phenomena, the commentary is directed at the patterns themselves and not at any identifiable individual. If you believe a piece of content on this site nevertheless refers to you or your organization in a manner you object to, please contact us — see "Contact" below — and we will review the matter promptly.
Disclaimer of warranties
The site and all content on it are provided "as-is" and "as-available," without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, accuracy, completeness, or uninterrupted availability. Use of the site is at your own risk.
Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, The Synergist Daily Quarterly, its operators, and its contributors shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill, or other intangible losses, arising out of or related to your access to or use of the site or its content. Our total cumulative liability arising from your use of the site shall not exceed one hundred United States dollars (US$100) or the total amount you have paid us in the preceding twelve months, whichever is greater.
Changes to terms
We may update these Terms of Use from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by an updated "last updated" date below. Continued use of the site after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
Governing law
These Terms of Use are governed by the laws of the State of California, United States of America, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. Any dispute arising out of or relating to these terms or your use of the site shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in California, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts.
