Welcome to SFL.Media.

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the SFL.Media website, SFL.Media mobile applications, including the SFL.Media iOS application, and any other digital products, content, features, or services operated by SFL Media Firm, LLC (“SFL.Media,” “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) that link to these Terms.

Please read these Terms carefully. By accessing, browsing, downloading, installing, or using SFL.Media or any of our services, you agree to these Terms and our Privacy Policy.

If you do not agree to these Terms, please do not access or use our services.

1. About SFL.Media

SFL.Media is a digital news and media platform providing news, journalism, commentary, analysis, videos, sports coverage, political coverage, entertainment, business, community information, and other editorial and informational content.

Our coverage includes South Florida, Florida, the United States, and international stories that may be relevant to our audience.

These Terms apply to SFL.Media services made available through our website, mobile applications, and other digital platforms that reference these Terms.

2. Eligibility and Use of Our Services

You may use SFL.Media only in compliance with these Terms and applicable laws.

By using our services, you represent that you are legally permitted to enter into these Terms or, where applicable, are using the services with the permission and supervision required by law.

You are responsible for your use of SFL.Media and for ensuring that your use complies with all applicable laws and regulations.

3. News and Editorial Content

SFL.Media publishes news reports, commentary, opinion, analysis, interviews, photographs, videos, sports coverage, political coverage, entertainment content, and other editorial materials.

News events can develop quickly. Information that was accurate when originally published may later change as additional facts become available.

Although SFL.Media strives to provide accurate, timely, and useful information, we do not guarantee that every article, report, statistic, quotation, image, video, or other piece of content will always be complete, current, or free from errors.

We may update, correct, clarify, modify, or remove content at any time.

Opinion, commentary, analysis, guest contributions, and quoted statements may reflect the views of their respective authors or speakers and do not necessarily represent the views of SFL.Media.

4. General Information Only

Content published through SFL.Media is provided for general news, informational, educational, and entertainment purposes.

Nothing published through SFL.Media should be considered professional legal, financial, medical, investment, tax, or other professional advice.

You should consult an appropriately qualified professional when making decisions that require professional advice.

Your reliance on information available through SFL.Media is at your own discretion and risk.

5. Intellectual Property Rights

Unless otherwise indicated, SFL.Media and its licensors own or control the rights to the original content and materials available through our services, including articles, written content, graphics, logos, branding, page designs, application designs, videos, photographs, illustrations, audio, compilations, and other original materials.

These materials may be protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws.

You may access SFL.Media content for your personal, non-commercial use.

Unless otherwise permitted by law or authorized by SFL.Media in writing, you may not:

  • Reproduce or republish complete SFL.Media articles

  • Copy or distribute substantial portions of SFL.Media content

  • Sell or commercially exploit SFL.Media content

  • Modify SFL.Media content and represent it as original material

  • Remove copyright, trademark, attribution, or ownership notices

  • Systematically scrape, harvest, extract, or download SFL.Media content

  • Create unauthorized databases or archives of SFL.Media content

  • Use SFL.Media branding in a manner suggesting sponsorship, affiliation, or endorsement without permission

Nothing in these Terms is intended to restrict rights available under applicable copyright law, including fair use where applicable.

6. SFL.Media Name and Branding

The SFL.Media name, logos, graphics, designs, slogans, and other identifying marks may be trademarks, service marks, trade names, or other protected intellectual property belonging to SFL.Media or its licensors.

You may not use SFL.Media branding in a way that falsely suggests an affiliation, endorsement, sponsorship, partnership, or other relationship with SFL.Media without prior authorization.

7. Third-Party Content and Sources

News reporting frequently involves information, photographs, videos, quotations, statements, documents, statistics, social media posts, and other material originating from third parties.

Third-party material remains subject to the rights of its respective owners.

References to or inclusion of third-party content do not necessarily mean that SFL.Media endorses the person, organization, company, product, service, statement, or viewpoint involved.

8. External Links

SFL.Media articles and services may contain links to websites, social media platforms, videos, advertisements, government resources, businesses, organizations, and other services operated by third parties.

These links may be provided for reference, convenience, attribution, reporting, advertising, or additional information.

SFL.Media does not control independent third-party websites or services and is not responsible for their availability, accuracy, security, content, products, privacy practices, or terms.

When you leave SFL.Media and access a third-party service, your interaction with that service is governed by the third party’s own terms and policies.

9. Advertising and Sponsored Content

SFL.Media may display advertisements, sponsorships, promotions, branded content, affiliate content, or other commercial material.

Advertising or sponsorship does not necessarily constitute an endorsement by SFL.Media of the advertiser, product, service, company, or claim being advertised.

Advertisers and sponsors are responsible for the accuracy and legality of their advertising materials and offers.

Your transactions or communications with advertisers or other third parties are between you and the applicable third party unless SFL.Media expressly states otherwise.

Sponsored, promotional, or branded content may be identified where required by applicable law or our editorial practices.

10. Mobile Applications

These Terms apply to SFL.Media mobile applications, including our iOS application.

Your use of a mobile application may require a compatible device, internet connection, supported operating system, and access to an applicable app distribution platform.

We may periodically release updates, improvements, bug fixes, security changes, or new versions of our mobile applications.

Some application functionality may change or become unavailable as technology, operating systems, services, or business requirements evolve.

You are responsible for any mobile data, internet, or other charges imposed by your service provider in connection with your use of the application.

11. Push Notifications

If you enable push notifications, SFL.Media may send notifications regarding breaking news, South Florida news, Florida news, sports, politics, entertainment, major stories, application updates, or other SFL.Media content.

Push notifications are optional.

You may disable push notifications at any time through your device settings.

Because news alerts may depend on third-party notification infrastructure, internet connectivity, and device settings, SFL.Media does not guarantee that every notification will be delivered or delivered at a particular time.

12. Apple App Store Terms

If you download or use the SFL.Media application through Apple’s App Store, you acknowledge that these Terms are between you and SFL.Media, not Apple Inc. (“Apple”).

SFL.Media, and not Apple, is responsible for the SFL.Media application and its content, subject to these Terms.

Your use of the application must also comply with applicable App Store terms and usage rules.

To the extent required under Apple’s applicable terms, Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support services for the SFL.Media application.

If the application fails to conform to an applicable warranty that cannot legally be excluded, you may notify Apple, and Apple may refund the purchase price, if any, paid for the application, subject to Apple’s applicable policies and legal requirements.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Apple has no other warranty obligation regarding the application.

SFL.Media, and not Apple, is responsible for addressing claims relating to the application to the extent required by applicable law, including claims concerning product liability, legal or regulatory requirements, and consumer protection.

You represent that you are not located in a country or region subject to a United States government embargo that prohibits your use of the application and that you are not prohibited from using the application under applicable United States law.

You acknowledge and agree that Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of this section of these Terms and may enforce applicable provisions against you.

By using our services, you acknowledge that you have had an opportunity to review our Privacy Policy.

14. User Communications and Submissions

You may have opportunities to contact SFL.Media, send news tips, provide feedback, respond to surveys, submit inquiries, or otherwise communicate with us.

You are responsible for information and material that you voluntarily submit.

You agree not to submit material that:

  • Is fraudulent or intentionally misleading

  • Contains malware, malicious code, or harmful technology

  • Is submitted for the purpose of disrupting SFL.Media’s systems or services

Submitting information to SFL.Media does not guarantee that we will publish, investigate, respond to, or otherwise use the submission.

15. News Tips and Confidential Information

If you submit a news tip, document, photograph, video, message, or other information to SFL.Media, please understand that contacting us does not automatically create a confidential, fiduciary, attorney-client, or other privileged relationship.

Do not assume that a submission will remain confidential unless SFL.Media expressly agrees to confidentiality.

Journalistic source relationships and confidentiality arrangements, where applicable, may be handled separately based on the circumstances.

16. User-Generated Content

If SFL.Media enables comments, community features, submissions, or other functionality that allows users to publish or display content, users remain responsible for the material they submit.

You may not use such features to publish unlawful, threatening, defamatory, fraudulent, infringing, malicious, or otherwise prohibited material.

SFL.Media may moderate, restrict, remove, or disable access to user-submitted content when we determine that doing so is appropriate, subject to applicable law.

We are not obligated to publish or retain user-generated content.

17. Acceptable Use

You agree not to misuse SFL.Media or interfere with its normal operation.

You may not:

  • Attempt to gain unauthorized access to our systems

Except where permitted by applicable law or expressly authorized by SFL.Media in writing, you may not use automated systems to systematically scrape, harvest, reproduce, or extract substantial amounts of SFL.Media content.

You may not use SFL.Media content to create an unauthorized substitute for SFL.Media or to misrepresent SFL.Media content as content produced by another publisher.

Nothing in this section limits rights that cannot lawfully be restricted.

19. Availability of Services

We work to keep SFL.Media available and functioning properly, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted access.

The website, mobile application, or individual features may occasionally become unavailable because of:

  • Maintenance

  • Technical problems

  • Internet or hosting failures

  • Cybersecurity incidents

  • Third-party service failures

  • Software updates

  • Events outside our reasonable control

We may modify, suspend, discontinue, replace, or restrict portions of our services at any time, subject to applicable law.

20. Corrections and Content Updates

SFL.Media may correct, update, clarify, supplement, or remove published material when appropriate.

If you believe an SFL.Media article contains a factual error, you may contact us and identify the article and information you believe should be reviewed.

Submitting a correction request does not guarantee that content will be changed or removed. Editorial decisions remain with SFL.Media, subject to applicable law.

22. Disclaimer of Warranties

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, SFL.MEDIA AND ITS SERVICES ARE PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS.

SFL.MEDIA DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICES WILL ALWAYS BE AVAILABLE, UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, ERROR-FREE, OR COMPLETELY ACCURATE.

WE DO NOT GUARANTEE THE ACCURACY, COMPLETENESS, RELIABILITY, TIMELINESS, OR AVAILABILITY OF CONTENT, INCLUDING CONTENT OBTAINED FROM THIRD-PARTY SOURCES.

SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW CERTAIN WARRANTY DISCLAIMERS, SO SOME OF THESE LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

23. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, SFL.MEDIA, SFL MEDIA FIRM, LLC, AND THEIR RESPECTIVE OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, CONTRIBUTORS, AFFILIATES, AND SERVICE PROVIDERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE SFL.MEDIA.

THIS INCLUDES, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, DAMAGES ARISING FROM RELIANCE ON CONTENT, LOSS OF DATA, SERVICE INTERRUPTION, THIRD-PARTY CONTENT, EXTERNAL LINKS, SECURITY INCIDENTS, OR OTHER USE OF OUR SERVICES.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot legally be excluded or limited.

24. Indemnification

To the extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless SFL.Media, SFL Media Firm, LLC, and their respective officers, directors, employees, contractors, and affiliates from claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and reasonable costs arising from your unlawful use of the services, your material violation of these Terms, or your infringement of another person’s rights.

This provision does not apply where prohibited by applicable law.

25. Suspension or Termination of Access

We may restrict, suspend, or terminate access to some or all of our services when reasonably necessary to:

  • Protect SFL.Media or its users

  • Address security threats

  • Prevent fraud or abuse

  • Enforce these Terms

  • Comply with legal requirements

  • Protect intellectual property

  • Maintain the integrity of our services

Sections that by their nature should survive termination will remain effective following termination or discontinuation of access.

26. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to conflict-of-law principles, except where applicable law requires otherwise.

Subject to any rights you may have under applicable consumer protection laws, disputes relating to these Terms or SFL.Media will be subject to the jurisdiction of appropriate state or federal courts located in Florida.

The specific venue may depend on the principal location and legal registration of SFL Media Firm, LLC and applicable law.

27. No Waiver

If SFL.Media does not immediately enforce a provision of these Terms, that does not mean we waive our right to enforce that provision later.

Any waiver must be authorized by SFL.Media and will apply only to the particular circumstances for which it was given.

28. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is determined to be invalid, unlawful, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in effect to the fullest extent permitted by law.

Where appropriate, an unenforceable provision may be interpreted or limited to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable.

29. Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and any additional terms expressly applicable to a particular SFL.Media feature or service, constitute the agreement between you and SFL.Media regarding your use of our services.

30. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms periodically to reflect changes to our services, mobile applications, business practices, technologies, or legal requirements.

When changes are made, we will update the “Last Updated” date at the top of this page.

Your continued use of SFL.Media after revised Terms become effective constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms to the extent permitted by applicable law.

If you do not agree with revised Terms, you should discontinue use of our services.
