Terms, Editorial Policy & Affiliate Disclosure

This page combines three statements that govern your use of mpiv.ai (the "Site"): the Terms of Use, the editorial independence policy, and the affiliate disclosure required by U.S. Federal Trade Commission rules. By using the Site, you accept all three.

1. Terms of Use

Acceptance

By accessing or using the Site, you agree to these Terms of Use. If you do not agree, do not use the Site.

Use of content

All content on the Site — articles, code samples, images, and the "MPIsaac Ventures" name and marks — is the property of MPIV Consulting LLC unless explicitly attributed otherwise. You may read, link to, and quote briefly from articles for personal or commentary purposes with attribution. You may not republish full articles, scrape large portions of the Site, or use content for commercial purposes without prior written permission.

Code samples

Code samples published on the Site are provided for educational purposes under the MIT License unless an article states otherwise. You use code samples at your own risk.

No warranty

Content on the Site is provided "as is" without warranty of any kind. We make no guarantees about the accuracy, completeness, fitness for purpose, or currency of any article. Software ecosystems change quickly; verify any technical claim against current vendor documentation before acting on it.

Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, MPIV Consulting LLC and its officers, employees, and contractors are not liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of the Site, including loss of data, lost profits, or operational disruption. Your sole remedy if you are dissatisfied is to stop using the Site.

Third-party links

The Site links to third-party sites and services. We do not control those sites and are not responsible for their content, terms, or privacy practices.

Changes to the Site or Terms

We may modify the Site, articles, or these Terms at any time. Material changes to these Terms will be reflected in the "Last updated" date at the top of this page.

Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Minnesota, United States, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute arising from the Site or these Terms is subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Hennepin County, Minnesota.

2. Editorial Policy

Independence

The Site publishes operator-grade reviews and tutorials covering AI infrastructure, developer tools, and related categories. Article topics are selected based on relevance to the audience, not based on which vendors offer affiliate programs or compensation. Vendors do not pay for coverage, do not preview articles before publication, and do not have approval rights over the content.

How recommendations are made

Recommendations on the Site are based on the author's direct testing, published documentation, and primary sources. Articles include the basis for each recommendation so you can evaluate the reasoning yourself. Where the author is uncertain, the article says so.

Corrections

We correct factual errors when notified. Send correction requests to [email protected]. Material corrections are noted in a "Last updated" line on the affected article.

Sponsored content

The Site does not currently publish sponsored content. If we ever do, sponsored articles will be clearly and prominently labeled as such, separate from regular editorial content.

3. Affiliate Disclosure (FTC 16 CFR Part 255)

Some articles on the Site contain affiliate links. When you click an affiliate link and complete a qualifying action — such as signing up for a paid plan, starting a free trial, or making a purchase — MPIV Consulting LLC may earn a commission from the vendor or affiliate network at no additional cost to you.

Which articles contain affiliate links

Every article that contains affiliate links displays an affiliate-disclosure callout near the top of the article, directly below the byline. The callout is standard text confirming that affiliate links are present.

How affiliate compensation affects coverage

Affiliate compensation does not influence which products appear in articles or how they are evaluated. We frequently recommend products that do not have affiliate programs and decline to add affiliate links to products we cannot recommend. Where two competing products both have affiliate programs, the recommendation reflects the author's honest assessment, not the higher commission.

Tracking and your privacy

Affiliate links use third-party tracking cookies set by the destination network (such as Impact, ShareASale, PartnerStack, or vendor-direct programs) to attribute your click. These cookies are governed by the destination network's privacy policy, not ours. See our Privacy Policy for more on third parties.
