Terms of Use

This is a previous version (Version 1.0, effective Oct 12, 2026), kept for reference. It was replaced by Version 1.1, effective Oct 13, 2026.

1. Operator and scope

GATHWAY INC. (“GATHWAY”, “we”, “us”), a Canadian corporation, operates The Insight Docket (“Platform”) at theinsightdocket.com. Contact: legal@gathway.app; privacy@gathway.app for privacy requests. Registered office: 230-7737 Lundy’s Lane, Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada.

These Terms apply to access to and use of the Platform by readers, account holders, contributors and visitors. The Privacy Policy and other policies incorporated by reference apply where relevant. Separate Contributor Publishing and Monetization agreements govern paid contributors.

2. Acceptance; eligibility

Using the Platform signifies acceptance where legally effective; account registration requires an affirmative acceptance checkbox and a durable record of the accepted version. Users must meet the minimum legal age to contract in their jurisdiction or have the consent required by applicable law.

3. Accounts and security

Users must provide accurate registration information, protect credentials, and promptly report suspected compromise. Accounts are personal unless the Platform expressly permits organizational accounts. GATHWAY may require email confirmation, multi-factor verification or reauthentication for sensitive actions.

4. Readers and contributor subscriptions

Reading is generally free unless a specific offering clearly states otherwise. Contributor membership is CAD $10 per month or CAD $120 payable annually; the annual plan is a lump-sum prepayment for a twelve-month term. Prices exclude applicable taxes unless stated otherwise. Billing frequency, renewal date, cancellation path and any applicable refund rights must be shown before purchase. Paying a fee does not guarantee publication, readership or earnings.

5. Automatic renewal and cancellation

Where recurring billing is offered, the checkout must clearly obtain any required consent to renewal and disclose the renewal interval and charge. Members may cancel renewal through an accessible account setting; cancellation stops future renewals, while access ordinarily continues through the paid term. Statutory cancellation and refund rights prevail. No unapproved refund policy is presumed.

6. Acceptable use

Users must not harass or threaten others, infringe rights, impersonate people, upload malware, scrape at scale contrary to applicable law, evade platform security, falsify professional credentials, fabricate citations or judgments, or manipulate readership metrics through bots, purchased traffic or coordinated deception. Legitimate sharing to attract genuine readers is permitted.

7. Publishing and third-party content

Articles and opinions are those of their respective authors unless explicitly designated as editorial statements of GATHWAY. Publication is subject to editorial review, verification and the Contributor Publishing Agreement. The Platform may contain links or advertising from third parties, subject to applicable disclosure practices.

8. No professional advice

Legal analysis and other professional content are for general information and discussion and do not by themselves establish a lawyer–client, physician–patient or other professional relationship. Readers should obtain independent advice tailored to their circumstances.

9. Moderation, suspension and appeals

GATHWAY may restrict, label, correct or remove material and restrict accounts to enforce its policies, comply with law, address security threats or prevent harm. Where practicable, affected users receive reasons and a reasonable review channel. Publishing archival rights do not prevent lawful removals or corrections.

10. Intellectual property

The Insight Docket brand, design and platform software belong to GATHWAY or its licensors. Contributors retain rights in original works subject to an express continuing licence agreed upon in the Contributor Publishing Agreement; Platform visitors receive only limited personal-use access.

11. Disclaimers and limitation of liability

To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Platform is offered without guarantees of uninterrupted access, publication acceptance, audience size or earnings. Nothing excludes or limits rights, warranties, remedies or liability that cannot lawfully be excluded, including liability for fraud or wilful misconduct. A monetary liability cap, if adopted, requires separate legal approval and clear drafting.

12. Governing law; complaints; amendments

The laws of Ontario and applicable federal Canadian law govern these Terms, subject to mandatory consumer and data-protection rules in other jurisdictions. Users may contact legal@gathway.app. Material changes should be announced with advance notice where required, and new consent obtained where required; maintain versioned acceptance records.
