• Content must respect intellectual property, privacy, and applicable regulations.
• Prohibited, harmful, or misleading content is not permitted.

Publishers retain all rights to their own websites, branding, and original materials. Pressbear retains ownership of the Platform and its technology.

6. Payments, Fees & Refunds

8. Privacy & Data Compliance

Publishers are responsible for compliance with applicable privacy and data protection laws. Pressbear does not control Publisher data collection or subscriber practices.
