Terms of Use
By accessing and using Stranger Than Fiction (strangerthanfiction.org), you agree to the following terms. If you do not agree, do not use the site.
What This Site Is
Stranger Than Fiction is an independent editorial publication. It publishes analysis, commentary, and investigative reporting on matters of public interest — including government programs, institutional conduct, unexplained phenomena, contested historical claims, and topics at the boundaries of mainstream discourse. The individuals, agencies, and institutions discussed on this site are overwhelmingly public figures or public entities whose actions are subject to public scrutiny and protected commentary.
The content on this site constitutes protected opinion, analysis, and commentary under the First Amendment and applicable law. It is not legal advice, professional counsel, or peer-reviewed research. Where the site presents claims made by named sources, those claims are attributed. Where the site offers analysis or interpretation, it is clearly framed as such. This distinction is maintained as a matter of editorial policy and is reflected in the language of every article.
Intellectual Property
All original content on this site — including articles, analysis, design, graphics, and site code — is the property of strangerthanfiction.org unless otherwise noted. You may not reproduce, distribute, or republish this content without prior written permission.
Brief quotation for the purpose of commentary, criticism, or review is permitted with proper attribution and a link back to the original article. This is standard fair use, not a blanket license.
Third-party content embedded on this site (videos, images, documents) remains the property of its respective owners.
Copyright Complaints (DMCA)
If you believe that content on this site infringes your copyright, you may submit a notice under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. Your notice must include: identification of the copyrighted work, identification of the allegedly infringing material and its location on the site, your contact information, a statement that you have a good faith belief the use is not authorized, and a statement under penalty of perjury that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on their behalf.
Send DMCA notices to: webmaster [at] strangerthanfiction.org
We will respond to valid notices in accordance with the DMCA and may remove or disable access to the material in question.
Comments
If the site permits user comments, you are responsible for what you post. By submitting a comment, you grant Stranger Than Fiction a non-exclusive, royalty-free, perpetual license to display that comment on the site.
We reserve the right to remove any comment for any reason, including but not limited to spam, threats, harassment, or content that is legally actionable. We are not obligated to host your speech.
Legal notices, disputes, or takedown demands must be directed to our contact email — not posted in comments. Any such material posted publicly on the site may be removed without response.
Accuracy and Corrections
We make every reasonable effort to verify claims, attribute sources, and distinguish documented fact from hypothesis. Errors happen. If you identify a factual error in any article, contact us using the information at the bottom of this page. We will investigate and, where warranted, correct the article with a visible correction note appended to the original text.
The presence of a claim on this site does not constitute an endorsement of that claim as established fact unless the article explicitly states otherwise. Our editorial position is clearly marked throughout: what is documented, what is alleged, and what remains unresolved.
External Links
This site links to external sources for attribution and further reading. We do not control and are not responsible for the content, availability, or privacy practices of external websites. A link is a citation, not an endorsement.
Disclaimer of Warranties
This site is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. We make no warranties, express or implied, regarding the accuracy, completeness, reliability, or availability of the site or its content. We do not guarantee uninterrupted access or the absence of errors.
Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Stranger Than Fiction and its operator shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of or inability to use this site, reliance on any content published here, or any action taken based on information found on this site.
Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Stranger Than Fiction and its operator from any claims, damages, losses, or expenses — including reasonable legal fees — arising from your use of the site, your submitted content, or your violation of these terms.
Governing Law
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict of law provisions. Any disputes arising under these terms shall be resolved in the courts of Alameda County, California.
Changes to These Terms
We may update these terms at any time. Continued use of the site after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised terms. We will not send you a notification — the date below tells you when this page was last modified.
