Terms of Service

Last updated: June 2025

These are the rules for using Seam & Co., published at unionno.com. Read them. They are not long.

The Site and What It Is

Seam & Co. is an editorially independent publication covering labor, work, and the economy of daily life. The site is operated by Seam & Co. and funded in part by advertising revenue. Ads, sponsored content, and commercial placements may appear alongside editorial content. Editorial decisions are made independently of advertisers.

Using the Site

You may read, share links to, and quote briefly from Seam & Co. content for non-commercial purposes, provided you attribute the work to Seam & Co. and link back to the original URL.

You may not:

Reproduce substantial portions of our content without written permission
Scrape, crawl, or harvest content or data from the site using automated tools
Use the site or its content to train machine learning models without explicit written authorization
Attempt to interfere with, damage, or gain unauthorized access to our systems
Misrepresent the source or authorship of our content

If you want to license content, republish a piece, or otherwise use our work beyond normal quotation, contact us at hello@unionno.com.

Intellectual Property

All original editorial content, design, and branding on unionno.com belongs to Seam & Co. or its contributors and is protected by copyright. The Seam & Co. name and any associated marks are not available for use without permission.

User-submitted content — tips, letters, pitches — remains yours. By sending it to us, you grant us a non-exclusive license to publish, edit, and use it in connection with the publication.

Advertising

Seam & Co. is supported by advertising. Third-party ad partners may display ads on the site and may use cookies and similar technologies in connection with those ads. By using the site, you acknowledge this. See the Privacy Policy for the full picture.

Third-Party Links

We link to outside sources because good journalism requires it. We do not control those sites and are not responsible for their content, accuracy, or privacy practices. A link is not an endorsement.

Disclaimers

Seam & Co. publishes journalism and commentary. Nothing on this site constitutes legal, financial, medical, or professional advice. Content is provided for informational purposes. We work hard to be accurate, but we make no warranties — express or implied — that the information on the site is complete, current, or error-free.

The site is provided "as is." We do not guarantee uninterrupted access. We may change, suspend, or discontinue any part of the site at any time without notice.

Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Seam & Co. and its contributors are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising from your use of — or inability to use — the site or its content. Our total liability for any claim arising from use of the site will not exceed the amount you paid us, which in the case of a free editorial site is zero.

Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms at any time. The updated date at the top of this page reflects the current version. Continued use of the site after changes are posted means you accept the new terms. If a change is material, we will note it prominently.

Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the United States and the state in which Seam & Co. is domiciled, without regard to conflict-of-law provisions.
