Terms of Use

Effective date: August 22, 2026

Acceptance

By accessing baknews.com, you agree to these Terms of Use. If you don't agree, please don't use the site.

What this site is (and isn't)

BAK News publishes general-interest explanatory journalism about American systems — economics, government, technology, and daily life. Nothing on this site is financial, legal, medical, tax, or investment advice, and nothing here is a recommendation to buy, sell, vote, or act in any particular way. We explain how systems work; decisions about your money, health, ballots, and legal affairs should be made with qualified professionals and primary sources.

Accuracy

We work hard to be accurate — our Editorial Standards describe how — and we verify facts against primary sources as of each article's "last updated" date. Systems change, agencies revise data, and laws are amended. Content is provided "as is," without warranties of any kind, and we can't guarantee that every fact remains current at the moment you read it. The Primary Sources listed with each article are the authoritative record.

Intellectual property

All original content on this site — text, charts, diagrams, and illustrations — is © 2026 BAK News unless otherwise noted. You're welcome to quote brief excerpts with attribution and a link. Republishing full articles or charts without permission isn't allowed; for reuse requests, email hello@baknews.com.

External links

Articles link to government agencies, research institutions, and other third-party sites. We link to them because they're sources, not because we control or endorse everything on them. Their content and privacy practices are their own.

Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, BAK News and its author shall not be liable for any damages arising from use of this site or reliance on its content.

Changes

We may revise these terms by updating this page. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance.
