These terms cover the Ascent & Ruin website (ascentandruin.com) and Ascent Ruin Publisher (the "App"), the internal tool Ascent & Ruin uses to publish its own content.
Ascent & Ruin makes documentary videos about money, business and empires, and publishes them on YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
The App is used only by Ascent & Ruin to publish content to accounts that Ascent & Ruin owns and manages, and to read performance statistics for those accounts. It is not offered to the public, and no one outside Ascent & Ruin can sign in to it or connect an account to it.
Every post made through the App is published by Ascent & Ruin, for its own accounts, and follows the rules of the platform it appears on, including the YouTube Terms of Service (https://www.youtube.com/t/terms), TikTok's Terms of Service, Meta's Terms, and X's Terms of Service. Ascent & Ruin is responsible for the content it publishes.
Videos, scripts, graphics and other material published by Ascent & Ruin are owned by Ascent & Ruin or used under licence or permission, and may not be reused without permission except as allowed by law. Our videos are for general information and entertainment. They are not financial, investment or legal advice.
How the App handles data is described in our Privacy Policy at https://www.ascentandruin.com/privacy-policy.
The website and our content are provided "as is", without warranties of any kind. To the extent permitted by law, Ascent & Ruin is not liable for any loss arising from use of the website or our content.
We may update these terms. The date at the top shows the latest version.
