THE GLAD READER
Terms and Conditions
The rules and responsibilities for using The Glad Reader.
Effective October 8, 2026
These Terms and Conditions govern The Glad Reader app and thegladreader.com, provided by Media Hogg LLC. Contact: support@thegladreader.com. By selecting “Agree and continue,” you agree to these terms and acknowledge our separate Privacy Policy, which describes our data practices.
What the service provides
The Glad Reader is a personal updater for important issues, with Positive and Standard feeds. You choose the topics you follow. Both feeds reduce aggressive framing. Positive aims for calmer reading, but we cannot guarantee that every reader will find every story comfortable. Standard can cover difficult subjects. Content is informational, not individualized legal, medical, financial, or other professional advice.
Editorial content and accuracy
Content may be prepared and reviewed with AI assistance. We use source links and checks, but errors and omissions can occur and information can change. Updates containing opinion include a visible notice after opening. We may correct, update, reclassify, or remove content. For consequential decisions, consult original sources and appropriate professionals. Report possible errors through our support page.
Using the app
You may use the service for your own lawful reading. Do not interfere with its operation, bypass access controls, misuse automated requests, impersonate others, or infringe others’ rights. You must be able to enter into these terms under applicable law; if parental or guardian permission is required, obtain it. The service is not directed to children under 13.
Subscriptions
Free reading has no daily limit or trial countdown. Clearly labeled ads appear between feed updates and at the bottom of opened updates, never in the reading material. Pro removes ads and unlocks important House and Senate bill alerts for selected topics. Monthly and yearly billing are alternatives for the same Pro access, not two separate subscriptions. The store checkout shows your local price and billing period before purchase.
Store purchases, renewal and cancellation
Subscriptions renew at the store-displayed price and billing period until cancelled. Changing between monthly and yearly billing replaces the current plan at renewal. Manage or cancel through the store used for purchase, including the Manage or cancel subscription control in Settings → Pro. Uninstalling the app does not cancel a subscription. Restore purchases uses your store account to recover eligible access. Refunds are subject to applicable law and store rules. Bill alerts require notification permission, a valid subscription, selected topics and delivery availability; delivery of every alert is not guaranteed.
Ownership and external links
Media Hogg LLC and its licensors retain rights in the app, design, and original content. You may read and share links for personal use. Other uses must be permitted by law or authorized by the rights holder. Linked sources and their content belong to their respective owners; a link does not transfer reuse rights or imply endorsement.
Availability and changes
We may improve, interrupt, or discontinue features or restrict misuse. We do not guarantee an uninterrupted service, a minimum update count, or delivery of every update. We will give notice of material changes where required. Updated terms will carry a new effective date, and we will request renewed agreement when appropriate.
Responsibility
To the extent permitted by applicable law, the service is provided as available, without a guarantee of completeness, accuracy, or fitness for a particular purpose. Nothing in these terms excludes mandatory consumer rights or liability that cannot legally be excluded.
