Terms of Use

These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your access to and use of Income Reality Check (the "Site"). By using the Site you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site. We may update these Terms from time to time; the version posted here is the current one, and continued use after a change means you accept it.

What the Site is

Income Reality Check publishes independent editorial reviews of make-money, side-hustle, and passive-income videos on YouTube. The Site is for general information and entertainment. It is not financial, tax, legal, or investment advice, and it does not create any professional or advisory relationship between you and us. See our disclaimer for the full statement.

No guarantees or professional advice

Income outcomes from any business, investment, or side hustle depend on factors specific to you — capital, time, skills, market conditions, and luck. We make no representation or warranty that any method, figure, or strategy described or reviewed on the Site will produce any particular result for you. Before acting on anything you read here, consult a licensed professional (a fiduciary financial advisor, CPA, attorney, or small-business advisor).

Editorial opinion

Each article ends with a verdict drawn from a fixed set of categories. Verdicts are our editorial opinion based on cited evidence. They are not statements of fact about, or legal findings against, any YouTube creator, company, or product, and they are not a recommendation that you take or avoid any specific action.

Acceptable use

You agree not to use the Site to break the law, infringe others' rights, scrape or republish our content at scale without permission, introduce malware, or attempt to disrupt or gain unauthorized access to the Site or its infrastructure. You may quote short excerpts with attribution and a link back.

Intellectual property

The written articles, verdict framework, layout, and branding on the Site are owned by Income Reality Check unless otherwise noted. Third-party names, logos, video titles, and screenshots referenced in a review remain the property of their respective owners and are used for identification and commentary (fair use / fair dealing). We claim no affiliation with the creators or platforms we review.

Third-party links and advertising

The Site links to third-party websites and may display advertising and affiliate links. We are not responsible for the content, products, or practices of third-party sites, and a link or ad is not an endorsement. Affiliate and advertising disclosures are set out in our disclaimer and privacy policy.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Income Reality Check and its editors are not liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or special damages arising from your use of, or reliance on, the Site or its content — including any financial loss from a business or investment decision. The Site is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, express or implied.

Corrections

We correct confirmed errors promptly and post corrections at the top of the affected article. If you believe something is inaccurate, email trisstann@gmail.com with the article URL and the specific claim.

Governing terms

If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions stay in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of it.
