TERMS OF SERVICE
Last updated: June 7, 2026


1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or subscribing to Cross-Border Commercial Risk, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, do not access this publication nor use its contents. These terms apply to all readers accessing content published under this publication.


2. Nature of the Publication

Cross-Border Commercial Risk is a publication examining the regulatory, structural, and practical dimensions of cross-border transactions and international disputes. Content is published for informational purposes only.

Nothing published here constitutes legal advice, financial advice, or professional advice of any kind. Content does not account for the specific facts, circumstances, or jurisdictional requirements of any individual situation and should not be relied upon as a substitute for professional judgment where the situation warrants it.

Access to this publication does not create any advisory, professional, or solicitor-client relationship between the reader and Cross-Border Commercial Risk.


3. Description of Content

Cross-Border Commercial Risk publishes analytical content examining cross-border commercial relationships, international disputes, and the regulatory and structural dynamics of international trade. This content is freely available to all readers.

From time to time the publication may include structured demonstrations of analytical processes — such as decision frameworks or prompt tools — published to illustrate how a particular analytical process could be approached. They are published as demonstrations of methodology and do not constitute advice applicable to any particular situation.


4. Intellectual Property

The original analytical work published under Cross-Border Commercial Risk — including original synthesis, commentary, structural frameworks, and methodological approaches developed by this publication — is protected under applicable copyright law. Where content draws on external sources, those sources retain their own intellectual property rights. Cross-Border Commercial Risk does not claim ownership over source material referenced or cited within its content.

Readers are permitted to reference and share original content for personal, educational, and non-commercial purposes provided appropriate attribution is given. Reproduction, republication, or commercial use of original content — in whole or in part — without prior written consent is not permitted.


5. Demonstrations of Analytical Process

Where structured demonstrations of analytical processes are published, they represent the publication’s own approach to examining a defined problem. They are published to illustrate the analytical process as the publication has developed it — not as instruments provided for reader use in relation to any specific situation.

Cross-Border Commercial Risk makes no representation that the approaches demonstrated are applicable to any reader’s specific circumstances. Readers who choose to engage with such demonstrations do so independently and are solely responsible for any application they make of the analytical process to their own situation.


6. Subscriptions

Cross-Border Commercial Risk is a free publication. Where subscription options are made available they will be managed through Substack. Subscription terms, billing, and related matters will be governed by Substack’s Terms of Service at that time.


7. Disclaimer of Warranties

Content is provided on an as is and as available basis. Cross-Border Commercial Risk makes no representations or warranties of any kind regarding the accuracy, completeness, or currency of any content published. Legal frameworks, regulatory positions, and commercial practices change. Content is accurate as of the date published but may not reflect subsequent developments.


8. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Cross-Border Commercial Risk shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or special damages arising from access to or reliance on any content published here — including any decisions made in reliance on content or analytical demonstrations published by this publication.


9. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of Ontario, Canada. Any disputes arising under these Terms shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of that jurisdiction.


10. Modifications

Cross-Border Commercial Risk reserves the right to modify these Terms at any time. Continued access to the publication following notice of changes constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
