Terms of Service

Effective date: 2026-06-04 Publisher: Global Pioneers LLC, a limited liability company organized under the laws of New York, United States ("Letterbench", "we", "us", or "our").

By visiting letterbench.com or subscribing to the Letterbench newsletter (collectively, the "Service"), you agree to these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service.

1. What Letterbench is

Letterbench is an independent editorial website publishing comparisons, growth playbooks, and quarterly benchmarks about newsletter platforms and tooling. Our content is intended for professional newsletter operators, publishers, and creators.

The information on letterbench.com is for general informational purposes only. It is not financial, legal, tax, or business advice. It is not a recommendation to enter into any specific commercial relationship with any vendor mentioned. Always conduct your own evaluation against your specific circumstances before adopting or switching software.

2. Use of the Service

You may use the Service for personal and professional purposes. You may not:

• Scrape, mirror, or systematically download the Service in a manner that imposes an unreasonable load on our infrastructure.
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to any part of the Service, including non-public areas like /admin/ or /api/.
• Use the Service to send unsolicited communications, distribute malware, or interfere with other users.
• Reverse-engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract source code from any client-side application served by letterbench.com beyond what is permitted under applicable law.
• Misrepresent your affiliation with Letterbench (e.g., impersonating the publication in correspondence, social media, or commercial outreach).

We may suspend or terminate access from any IP, account, or origin that violates the above.

3. Intellectual property

All editorial content on letterbench.com — including text, charts, comparison tables, calculators, methodology blocks, and benchmark reports — is © 2026 Global Pioneers LLC unless otherwise noted. All rights reserved.

You may:

• Read, share links to, and quote brief excerpts (under fair use / fair dealing principles) with attribution to letterbench.com.
• Cite our data in your own writing with a link back to the source page.

You may not, without prior written permission:

• Republish full articles or significant portions on another platform.
• Use our comparison tables, calculator output, or benchmark data to train machine-learning models for commercial use without attribution and link-back at minimum.
• Remove attribution, methodology notes, or affiliate disclosures when reproducing quoted material.

For licensing requests (syndication, commercial reuse, training-data licensing), email editorial@letterbench.com.

4. Affiliate relationships

Letterbench earns commission on some links to third-party newsletter platforms and adjacent services. This is a material relationship that we disclose comprehensively on our Affiliate Disclosure page. Affiliate links are marked with rel="sponsored" in the HTML and we never structure recommendations to favor affiliate partners over the underlying data.

5. Newsletter subscription

When you subscribe to the Letterbench newsletter, you consent to receive editorial emails from us via Beehiiv (our newsletter delivery platform). You may unsubscribe at any time using the one-click unsubscribe link in every email or by emailing hello@letterbench.com. See Privacy Policy for how we handle your email address.

We comply with the CAN-SPAM Act of 2003: every commercial email contains a valid sender identity, a working unsubscribe mechanism honored within 10 business days, and the postal address of Global Pioneers LLC.

6. No warranty

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE". TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, GLOBAL PIONEERS LLC DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, AND COMPLETENESS.

We strive to keep pricing, feature comparisons, and benchmark data accurate as of the dates published on each page. Vendor terms change frequently. Always confirm with the vendor directly before making a commercial decision based on our content.

7. Limitation of liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, GLOBAL PIONEERS LLC AND ITS AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES — INCLUDING LOST PROFITS, LOST REVENUE, LOST DATA, OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION — ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF, OR INABILITY TO USE, THE SERVICE.

Our aggregate liability for any claim arising from or relating to the Service is limited to one hundred US dollars ($100), or the amount you paid us in the past twelve months, whichever is greater. We have not received payment from you for use of the Service.

Some jurisdictions do not allow these limitations; in those jurisdictions, our liability is limited to the smallest amount permitted by law.

8. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Global Pioneers LLC, its members, officers, employees, and agents from any claim, loss, liability, or expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from your violation of these Terms, your misuse of the Service, or your infringement of any third-party right.

9. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service at any time, with or without notice, for any reason — including violation of these Terms. Sections 3 (IP), 6 (Warranty), 7 (Liability), 8 (Indemnification), and 11 (Governing Law) survive termination.

10. Changes to these terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be reflected in the "Effective date" above and, where they materially affect subscribers' rights, communicated by email before taking effect. Continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance.

11. Governing law and dispute resolution

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of New York, United States, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute arising out of or relating to the Service or these Terms will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in New York County, New York, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts.

To the extent permitted by law, you and Global Pioneers LLC each waive any right to a jury trial in any such proceeding.

12. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full force and effect, and the invalid provision will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable while preserving the parties' original intent.

13. Entire agreement

These Terms (together with the Privacy Policy and Affiliate Disclosure) constitute the entire agreement between you and Global Pioneers LLC regarding the Service and supersede all prior agreements on the same subject.
