Terms of service

These terms apply when you buy a sponsored feature, add-on, awards package or any other service from Global Trading Outlook (“GTO”, “we”). By paying, you agree to them.

Global Trading Outlook is operated by Nookelo, Inc., a corporation organised under the laws of Delaware, United States.

What we do

• We publish Global Trading Outlook, a digital magazine about the trading industry, with our own guides and analysis and republished public-domain works.
• We sell sponsored features: articles about your firm or you, written by our editors from your brief, checked by you for accuracy, and published with a share kit. A sponsored feature is advertising. Every one is labelled “Sponsored” and names who paid for it, and links to your website are marked as sponsored.
• We run the GTO Trading Awards, which are free to enter and judged on published criteria.

What we don’t do

• We are not a broker, investment adviser, bank or financial institution. We don’t take deposits, handle anyone’s funds, or arrange trades.
• We don’t give investment, financial or trading advice. Nothing we publish, including sponsored features, recommends that anyone use a firm, product or strategy.
• We don’t endorse the firms or people we feature. Firms confirm their regulatory status to us and we remove claims we can’t verify, but readers must do their own due diligence.
• We don’t publish trading returns, win rates, profit claims or guarantees. The one exception: a sponsored feature may state the featured firm’s past performance if it links to an independently verified public record supporting the statement and carries a past-performance warning (see our editorial policy). We never publish guarantees.
• We don’t sell awards. Buying a feature, advertising or a winner’s package never affects an award result.

What you are buying

A written article about you or your organisation in the format you choose, published on our website and labelled Sponsored, with the share kit described for that format. Formats, word counts, placement periods and revision rounds are as described in our rate card or your order confirmation at the time you pay.

Your responsibilities as an advertiser

• The information and materials you give us must be accurate, and you must have the right to let us use the photos, logos and other materials you send.
• You are responsible for complying with the advertising and financial-promotion rules that apply to you in the countries where you market your services, including licensing, risk warnings and restrictions on who you may market to. Tell us if you are not authorised to market your services in the UK or the European Union, so we can add the right notice to your article.
• You confirm that neither you nor your organisation is subject to sanctions, and that paying us doesn’t breach any law that applies to you.
• You’re responsible for the claims in your answers and in the draft you approve. If a claim you gave us leads to a complaint or legal claim against us, you agree to cover our reasonable costs.

Payment

Payments are processed by Stripe. We never see or store your full card details. Prices are in US dollars unless stated otherwise. You receive a receipt and an invoice by email.

Our editorial rules

You confirm your regulatory status in your brief, and we may verify it on the regulator’s register or against regulator warning lists. We may decline to publish, or remove, content we can’t verify, that makes performance or return claims, that could mislead readers, or that concerns a firm on a regulator warning list. If we decline before publication, you receive a full refund. We may edit for clarity, accuracy, length and our house style. You approve the final draft before it’s published.

Timing

We aim to publish within five business days of receiving your complete brief (48 hours with the rush add-on). The clock pauses while a draft is with you for review.

Homepage placements

Formats that include homepage time (Spotlight, Feature, Cover Story and the extra-week add-on) run for the number of days listed, starting on the day the article is published unless we agree a different start date. The homepage updates once a day, just after midnight UTC, so a placement starts and ends at that update. Each homepage position holds a fixed number of stories at a time. If the position you want is booked, we offer the next free start date before you pay. When its homepage time ends, your article stays published at the same address, in its section and our archive.

Refunds

See our refund policy.

Rights

We own the copyright in the articles we write. Once published, you may share, link to and quote your article anywhere, and republish it in full with a link to the original. You may use the “As featured in” badge for as long as your article is online.

No guaranteed results

We don’t guarantee any number of readers, clicks, clients or other business results.

Liability

To the extent the law allows, our total liability for any claim relating to a purchase is limited to the amount you paid for it. We aren’t liable for indirect or consequential losses, such as lost profits.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms. The version in force when you pay applies to that purchase.
