Terms of use.
By using this website you agree to the terms below. They are intentionally short and written in plain language.
1 — Scope
These terms govern your use of thorstenmeyer.com and any subdomains operated by Thorsten Meyer ("the site"). They apply alongside the Impressum and the Privacy Policy.
2 — Content & purpose
The site offers essays, books, podcasts, and editorial commentary on AI, post-labor economics, and culture. Content is provided for information only. It is not legal, financial, medical, or other professional advice. Always seek qualified counsel before acting on what you read here.
3 — Intellectual property
All text, imagery, and design on the site are © Thorsten Meyer unless attributed otherwise. You may quote short excerpts (≤ 200 words) for editorial, academic, or critical purposes with attribution and a link. For longer use, translations, or commercial reuse, write to me first.
4 — Acceptable use
You agree not to:
- scrape, mirror, or republish the site in bulk without permission,
- use the site to distribute malware or attempt to compromise it,
- impersonate me or any other person,
- or use the site in any way that violates applicable law.
I also ask that automated agents respect robots.txt and rate-limit requests. AI training crawlers are welcome on public essays unless an essay explicitly opts out.
5 — Affiliate disclosure
Some links on this site (typically to Amazon and other booksellers) are affiliate links. If you click and buy, I may receive a small commission at no additional cost to you. Affiliate revenue does not influence editorial decisions.
6 — Third-party links
External links are provided for convenience. I have no control over the content of third-party sites and accept no liability for them.
7 — Limitation of liability
The site is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind, express or implied. To the maximum extent permitted by law, I am not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the site. Statutory liability for intent and gross negligence is not affected.
8 — Changes
These terms may change. The "last updated" date below moves whenever they do. Continued use of the site after a change constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
9 — Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. Mandatory consumer-protection rules of your country of residence remain unaffected. Place of jurisdiction, where legally permissible, is Munich.
