This page explains the rules that apply when you visit or use Sonderbriefing (sonderbriefing.de). It is a legal agreement between you, the reader, and Sonderbriefi Media Ltd., the private company registered in Gibraltar (company number C 92009, Malta Business Registry) that owns and operates this publication. Please read these terms carefully before using the site. If you do not agree with any part, you should stop using Sonderbriefing immediately.
What am I allowed to do on this site?
You are granted a limited, non-exclusive, revocable licence to access and read the content on Sonderbriefing for your personal, non-commercial use. This means you may view articles, share links to them on social media, and print single copies for private reference. You may not republish, reproduce, distribute, sell, or scrape any part of the site without our prior written permission. Systematic or automated access, including crawling or data mining, is prohibited unless explicitly authorised by our publisher. Any breach of this licence terminates your right to use the site immediately.
Who owns the content, and what if someone copies it?
All text, images, graphics, video, audio, data, and design elements on Sonderbriefing are owned by Sonderbriefi Media Ltd. or used under licence. They are protected by Swedish, Gibraltarian, and international copyright and intellectual property laws. If you believe your copyrighted work has been reproduced on our site without authorisation, please contact our legal team at legal@sonderbriefing.de with a detailed notice. We will respond promptly and, where appropriate, remove the material in accordance with our Copyright & Takedown Policy.
What about links to other websites?
Our articles may contain links to external sites for reference, context, or transparency. Sonderbriefing has no control over the content, privacy practices, or availability of those third-party websites. We do not endorse them and accept no responsibility for any loss or damage arising from your use of them. You access external links entirely at your own risk. We encourage you to review the terms and privacy policies of any site you visit from a link on Sonderbriefing.
What is Sonderbriefing not responsible for?
Sonderbriefing provides its content for general informational and journalism purposes only. It is not medical, financial, legal, or professional advice. You should not rely on any article as a substitute for qualified professional guidance tailored to your specific circumstances. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Sonderbriefi Media Ltd., its editors, writers, and contributors disclaim all liability for any direct, indirect, incidental, or consequential loss or damage resulting from your use of the site or reliance on its content. This includes, but is not limited to, errors, omissions, interruptions, or inaccuracies in the reporting. Nothing in these terms excludes liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence or for fraud.
How this works in practice
Imagine you read an article on Sonderbriefing about changes to Swedish housing policy and decide to sell your property based on a market prediction mentioned in the piece. If that prediction turns out to be incorrect and you lose money, you cannot hold Sonderbriefing liable. Our journalism is designed to inform, not to advise. Similarly, if a link in an article takes you to a third-party site that sells a faulty product, we are not responsible for that transaction. The same principle applies to sponsored content or affiliate links: we clearly label them, but the decision to engage with them is yours alone.
Who owns and operates Sonderbriefing?
Sonderbriefing is owned and operated by Sonderbriefi Media Ltd., a private company registered in Gibraltar (company number C 92009, Malta Business Registry). Our registered office is at Office 9, Business Centre, Valletta, 0000. The publication was founded in 2024 and is run independently. Our editorial mission is to deliver trustworthy Swedish journalism that helps readers understand complex issues without spin or oversimplification. For full details on our ownership, funding, and editorial independence, please see our Ownership & Funding page. Commercial relationships, including display advertising, affiliate links, sponsored content, and content licensing, never determine our editorial conclusions.
Which country’s laws apply to these terms?
These Terms of Use are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Gibraltar. Any dispute arising out of or relating to your use of Sonderbriefing shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Gibraltar. By using the site, you submit to the personal jurisdiction of those courts. If you have a legal concern or complaint, please first contact our legal team at legal@sonderbriefing.de so we can attempt to resolve it directly.
What other policies should I read?
