You retain all rights to the content you publish (reports, posts, messages).

By publishing content, you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, display, and transmit that content solely to operate the service.

The Outreach Syndicate brand, logo, interface and source code belong to their respective authors (Jerome Welty and David Desplanque).

Star Citizen, Squadron 42, Roberts Space Industries, Cloud Imperium Games and related marks and assets belong to Cloud Imperium Games and are used here under the RSI Fan Content Policy.

Game data (ships, locations, items) comes from public sources and belongs to its respective owners.

The service integrates with third-party providers (Google, Discord, Facebook for OAuth; Vercel; Supabase; Google Analytics if you opt in).

Use of these providers is governed by their own terms and privacy policies.

Links to our community Discord (discord.gg/aRUG36Hw6C) and to CIG's RSI website are provided for convenience; we have no control over the content of third-party sites.

The service is provided 'AS IS' and 'AS AVAILABLE', without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including without limitation warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, or accuracy of game data.

We make no guarantee that the service will be uninterrupted, secure, error-free, or up to date.

Trading and mining suggestions are informational only and reflect community data; you remain solely responsible for your in-game decisions.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the operators of Outreach Syndicate shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, loss of data, or loss of profits arising out of or in connection with your use of the service.

Because the service is free and non-commercial, our aggregate liability, where any exists, shall not exceed one Canadian dollar (CAD 1).

Nothing in these Terms limits any liability that cannot lawfully be limited, in particular gross negligence, wilful misconduct, statutory consumer rights (France: articles L.217-3 and following of the French Consumer Code; Quebec: Consumer Protection Act) or GDPR / Law 25 data protection rights.

You agree to defend and hold the operators harmless from any claim or damages arising from: your violation of these Terms, content you publish, or your unlawful use of the service.

We may update these Terms from time to time.

We will display a banner on the site at least 30 days before material changes take effect.

Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms. If you disagree, you may delete your account.

The service is provided on a best-effort basis by two volunteers.

We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any feature at any time and without prior notice.

We will make reasonable efforts to give advance notice for significant changes.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Province of Quebec (Canada), without regard to its conflict of law rules.

Any dispute shall be submitted to the competent courts of the district of Montreal, Quebec, Canada.

Notwithstanding the above, French users may bring a claim before the competent French courts, and consumers residing in the EU benefit from the mandatory protective provisions of their country of residence (Regulation (EU) No 1215/2012 and Regulation (EC) No 593/2008 'Rome I').

Nothing in this clause deprives any consumer of the protection afforded by mandatory consumer law in their country of residence.
