Terms and Conditions

Last updated: June 2026

These Terms and Conditions govern your use of the 18-30 Futures platform ("the Platform"), operated by 18-30 Futures ("we", "us", "our"). By registering or using the Platform, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Platform.

The Platform offers the following membership tiers:

Subscription fees are charged annually. We reserve the right to update subscription pricing with reasonable notice. Subscriptions are non-refundable except where required by law.

Members who submit articles, stories, comments, or article submissions ("User Content") retain ownership of their original content. By submitting content to the Platform, you grant 18-30 Futures a non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to publish, edit, and display your content on the Platform.

You warrant that any content you submit is your own original work, does not infringe any third-party rights, is not defamatory or unlawful, and is factually accurate to the best of your knowledge..

All submitted content is subject to editorial review before publication. Submission does not guarantee publication. The editorial team may approve, reject, request edits, or add editorial notes to any submission. This process exists to maintain the quality and ethical standards of the Platform.

Approval statuses include: Draft, Pending Review, Needs Edits, Approved, Published, and Rejected. Members will be notified of their submission status via the dashboard.

Partner Members may submit organisation profiles, product listings, stories, and advertising content. All partner content is subject to the same editorial approval process as individual member content. Partner profiles must accurately represent the organisation and must include verifiable evidence to support any ethical or sustainability claims made.

Partner Members may submit advertising banners and sponsorship content for review. Approved advertisements will be clearly labelled as sponsored content. We reserve the right to reject any advertising that conflicts with the ethical values of the Platform.

Paid Individual Members and Partner Members may submit article submissions for editorial review. Submission does not constitute acceptance for publication. If an article submission is selected for possible publication, the author will be contacted separately. Please note that editorial services, editing, marketing, digital download or print production associated with publication may involve an additional charge, agreed separately with the author.

You agree to:

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that breach these terms.

We collect and process personal data in accordance with applicable data protection law, including the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018. We will only use your personal data to provide and improve the Platform, communicate with you about your membership, and send newsletters where you have opted in.

You have the right to access, correct, or request deletion of your personal data at any time. Please contact us to exercise these rights. A full Privacy Policy is available separately.

The 18-30 Futures name, logo, and platform design are the intellectual property of 18-30 Futures. Nothing in these terms grants you any rights to use our branding or intellectual property without prior written consent.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, 18-30 Futures shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential loss arising from your use of the Platform. We do not guarantee the accuracy of any content published on the Platform, though we take reasonable editorial steps to verify claims.

We may update these Terms and Conditions from time to time. Continued use of the Platform after changes are published constitutes acceptance of the updated terms. We will notify members of significant changes via the dashboard or email.

These terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales. Any disputes arising under these terms shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.
