Legal

Terms.

Last updated: July 6, 2026

These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the Slash PR website and set out the standard terms on which Slash PR accepts bookings from partner agencies. Please read them carefully. By accessing or using the website, you agree to be bound by these Terms; if you do not agree, do not use the site.

Commercial engagements between Slash PR and a partner agency are governed by the written partner agreement provided at onboarding and the written confirmation for each booking. If these Terms conflict with a partner agreement, the partner agreement governs for that partner.

/Acceptance and eligibility

The website is intended for professional use by public relations and marketing agencies, and by individuals who are at least 18 years of age and authorized to act for such an agency. By using the site, you represent that you meet these requirements, that any information you submit is true, current, and complete, and that your use will comply with the laws that apply to you. If you do not meet these requirements, you must not use the website.

Slash PR works exclusively with PR and marketing agencies. It does not contract directly with brands, companies, or individuals seeking coverage for themselves; a brand that approaches Slash PR is referred to a partner agency. This website is informational. Nothing on it is an offer to any party other than a PR or marketing agency, and nothing on it creates a commercial relationship with any party that has not been onboarded as a partner.

/Changes to these terms

We may revise these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will post the revised version on this page and update the date shown above. Changes take effect when they are posted, and your continued use of the website after that means you accept them. Please review this page periodically. Changes do not retroactively alter the written confirmation of a Booking issued before the change was posted.

/Website access, availability, and modification

We may modify, restrict, suspend, or discontinue any aspect of the website, including its content and features, at any time and without notice. Material on the website may be out of date at any given time, and we are under no obligation to update it. We do not guarantee that the website will always be available or uninterrupted, and we will not be liable if any part of it is unavailable at any time. We may withdraw website access from any user who breaches these Terms; the sections that by their nature should survive, including confidentiality and non-circumvention, intellectual property, the warranty disclaimer, the limitation of liability, and indemnification, continue to apply after access ends.

/Prohibited uses

You may use the website only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms. You will not, and will not attempt to:

• use the website in any way that violates any applicable law, rule, regulation, or order, or that would give rise to civil liability;
• submit or transmit through the website any material that is unlawful, harmful, threatening, abusive, defamatory, deceptive, fraudulent, obscene, or invasive of another person's privacy or publicity rights, or that promotes hatred or harm against any group or individual;
• infringe or misappropriate the intellectual property, proprietary, privacy, or other rights of Slash PR or of any other person;
• impersonate Slash PR, anyone who works with Slash PR, or any other person, or misrepresent your identity, role, or affiliation, including by submitting a partnership request for an organization you are not authorized to represent;
• transmit, or procure the sending of, any advertising or promotional material through the website without our prior written consent, including junk mail, chain letters, spam, or similar solicitations;
• engage in conduct that restricts or inhibits anyone's use of the website, or that may harm Slash PR or users of the website or expose them to liability;
• use any robot, spider, scraper, or other automated means to access, copy, monitor, or index the website or its content without our prior written consent;
• introduce viruses, trojan horses, worms, logic bombs, or other malicious or technologically harmful material, or use any device, software, or routine that interferes with the proper working of the website;
• attempt to gain unauthorized access to, interfere with, damage, or disrupt any part of the website or any server, computer, or database connected to it;
• attack the website through a denial-of-service attack, a distributed denial-of-service attack, or similar means;
• use the website, or any information obtained from it, to circumvent Slash PR and contact, solicit, or contract with the publications or contacts with which Slash PR maintains its relationships;
• advocate, encourage, or assist any third party in doing any of the foregoing.

/The partnership process

Agencies request a partnership through the form on the contact page. Submitting the form is a request, not an acceptance: Slash PR screens each request and may accept or decline it at its discretion, without obligation to give reasons. You are responsible for the accuracy of the information you provide during screening and onboarding, and you agree to keep it current if the partnership proceeds.

Accepted agencies are onboarded once. At onboarding, a partner receives the written partner agreement that governs commercial matters, together with the current Rate Card and outlet portfolio described below. Those materials are provided in confidence and remain subject to the confidentiality and non-circumvention obligations in these Terms whether or not the partnership continues.

/Booking agreement

This section (the "Booking Agreement") applies to every Booking placed by a partner agency and forms part of these Terms; it does not apply to visitors who place no Booking. It operates together with the Partner Agreement, and where the two differ, the Partner Agreement governs.

Definitions

In this Booking Agreement:

• "Booking" means a partner agency's request for a Placement that Slash PR has confirmed in writing, together with that confirmation.
• "Placement" means the publication of Creative Materials, or of coverage arranged by Slash PR, in a Publication under a Booking.
• "Creative Materials" means the copy, headlines, images, and other materials provided or approved by the partner agency for a Placement.
• "Publication" means a third-party outlet with which Slash PR maintains a contractual relationship and in which a Placement may run.
• "Coverage Report" means the record of live links and delivery details provided to the partner after a Placement runs.
• "Partner Agreement" means the written engagement terms provided to a partner agency at onboarding, and any written amendments.
• "Rate Card" means the confidential schedule of Publications, formats, partner rates, and scheduling windows shared privately with partner agencies, together with the accompanying outlet portfolio.

Engagement

By placing a Booking, the partner engages Slash PR to secure the Placement described in the written booking confirmation and to render the related coordination, submission, and reporting services, including delivery of the Coverage Report after a Placement runs. Each Booking incorporates these Terms and the Partner Agreement. The partner acts for its own client; Slash PR's relationship is with the partner agency alone.

Placements

Each Booking confirms its rate and its publication window in writing before work proceeds. Slash PR uses reasonable, good-faith efforts to secure each confirmed Placement within its window. Slash PR does not guarantee that any specific Publication will be available for any given Booking, or that any particular number of Placements will be available in any period; availability depends on the Publications and their schedules. Where a confirmed Placement cannot run, the Booking is not billed.

Publications control their own pages. Slash PR does not warrant that a Placement will remain publicly available for any particular period, but it uses reasonable efforts to cause a published Placement to remain publicly available in the Publication for twelve (12) months following publication.

Creative materials and review

The partner agency submits the Creative Materials its client has approved. Copy approval is final: the version the partner approves is the version Slash PR submits for publication. Publications apply their own editorial and acceptance standards and may decline material at their discretion. If a Publication cannot run the approved version as submitted, Slash PR will inform the partner; the Booking then proceeds only with a revised version the partner has approved in writing, or it is withdrawn with nothing billed. Creative Materials cannot be changed after publication.

The partner is responsible for providing requested information and materials on time; partner delays may delay a Placement, and Slash PR is not responsible for delay caused that way.

Restricted material

Slash PR may decline any Booking, and may decline or withdraw any Creative Materials or Placement, where it determines in reasonable, good-faith judgment that the material or Placement:

• is unlawful, deceptive, defamatory, or infringing, or poses a legal, financial, or reputational risk to Slash PR, a partner, or a Publication, including where its subject is under investigation for or has been convicted of a crime;
• violates a Publication's policies, standards, or requirements, or the terms of an agreement between Slash PR and a Publication, or is otherwise rejected by the Publication;
• contains adult or sexual material;
• makes medical or health claims that are not substantiated;
• concerns ongoing legal proceedings or other active disputes;
• promotes multi-level marketing;
• is a reputation-attack piece directed at a person or organization;
• contains third-party quotes, or references to third-party brands or public figures, where the accepting Publication does not permit them;
• concerns subject matter inconsistent with the Publication's niche.

The partner represents at each Booking that its Creative Materials do not fall into these categories except as disclosed in advance. Where a Booking is declined or a Placement is withdrawn before publication for one of these reasons, nothing is billed, and any amount already paid is returned or credited.

Changes to scope

A partner may request a change to a confirmed Booking, including to the format, the target Publication, or the window, by written notice describing the change. Changes take effect only on mutual written agreement and may affect the confirmed rate and publication window. Slash PR is not obligated to accept a proposed change.

Third-party requirements

Slash PR negotiates and holds its agreements with Publications directly and sets the terms of those relationships. Where a Publication imposes requirements that apply to a Placement, such as content standards, disclosure or labeling rules, usage rules, or embargoes, and the partner has been notified of them, the partner shall comply with them in all respects, including in how it and its client use and promote the Placement.

Fees and payment

Rates are as stated in the Rate Card and confirmed in writing for each Booking. Billing follows publication: a Placement is invoiced only after it runs, and if a Placement does not run, nothing is billed and any amount paid is returned or credited. Invoices are due within thirty (30) days of receipt and are exclusive of any taxes required by law, which are the partner's responsibility. Failure to pay when due is a material breach, and Slash PR may suspend work on pending Bookings until the account is current, without liability for the resulting delay.

License to creative materials

The partner grants Slash PR a limited, non-exclusive license to use, reproduce, distribute, and display the Creative Materials, and the partner's and its client's names, marks, and logos as they appear in them, solely as needed to perform the services for the applicable Booking. This license is sublicensable only to the accepting Publication and only for the Placement itself, and it continues after the Booking concludes only to the extent needed for a published Placement to remain live. Slash PR acquires no other rights in the Creative Materials or in the partner's or its client's marks.

Slash PR materials

Anything Slash PR creates for its own operations, including its processes, templates, reporting formats, pricing methods, and the Rate Card itself, remains the sole property of Slash PR. No right, title, or interest in those materials passes to a partner, and all rights not expressly granted are reserved.

Partner representations and warranties

For each Booking, the partner represents, warrants, and covenants that:

• it has the full right and authority to place the Booking, to grant the license above, and to perform its obligations under these Terms;
• it is authorized by its client to commission the Placement and to approve the Creative Materials on the client's behalf;
• it holds all rights in the Creative Materials, and in the intellectual property they contain, needed for the uses contemplated by the Booking;
• the Creative Materials do not infringe any person's intellectual property rights, do not defame anyone, and do not violate any rights of privacy or publicity;
• the Creative Materials, and the products and services they describe, comply with applicable law, including advertising and disclosure laws;
• the information it has provided in connection with the Booking is accurate and complete in all material respects.

Indemnification for bookings

The partner shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Slash PR and the people who work with it from any loss, liability, damage, or expense, including reasonable legal fees, arising out of: (a) the Creative Materials and their development, publication, or promotion, including claims of infringement, defamation, false advertising, or regulatory action; (b) the products or services the Creative Materials promote; or (c) the partner's breach of this Booking Agreement, including its representations and warranties. The partner shall not settle any indemnified claim in a way that binds Slash PR without its prior written consent.

Termination

Either party may terminate the partnership for cause if the other materially breaches these Terms or the Partner Agreement and fails to cure the breach within fourteen (14) days after written notice, where the breach is curable. Slash PR may also terminate for cause, effective on notice, if a partner becomes insolvent, makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, has a receiver appointed, or discontinues its business.

Either party may end the partnership for convenience on written notice; confirmed Bookings are completed or wound down as the parties agree in writing, and Placements that run are billed on the standard terms.

Termination does not relieve either party of liability that accrued before it takes effect, and amounts due for Placements that have run remain payable. Where a partner has violated these Terms, including the restricted-material or confidentiality provisions, Slash PR may also withdraw pending Placements and, where a Publication requires it, request removal of a published one. The confidentiality and non-circumvention obligations, the license as it applies to live Placements, and the surviving sections identified above continue after termination.

Force majeure

Neither party is liable for failure or delay in performing its obligations, other than payment obligations for Placements that have run, to the extent caused by events beyond its reasonable control, including natural disasters, fire, flood, widespread internet or infrastructure outages, acts of war or terrorism, civil unrest, epidemics, or actions of a government or authority. The affected party shall notify the other in writing and resume performance as soon as reasonably possible.

Publicity

Discretion is core to how this practice operates, and it runs in both directions. Neither party will publicize the existence or terms of the relationship without the other's prior written consent in each instance. Slash PR does not identify its partners or their clients and stays unnamed in the work; partners likewise do not identify Slash PR to their clients or publicly, including in proposals, case studies, or credentials materials, without written consent.

Independent contractors; no third-party beneficiaries

The parties are independent contractors. Nothing in these Terms creates a joint venture, employment, agency, or legal partnership between them, and neither may bind the other. This Booking Agreement is for the benefit of the parties only; a partner's clients are not parties to it and are not third-party beneficiaries, and no other person acquires any right under it.

/Confidentiality and non-circumvention

"Confidential Information" means all non-public information disclosed by Slash PR to a partner or its representatives, in any form, including the Rate Card, the outlet portfolio, partner rates and pricing methods, the identities of the Publications Slash PR works with and the terms of those relationships, and its booking practices, processes, and plans. These are trade secrets of Slash PR: they derive value from not being generally known, and they are shared privately with partners for one purpose only.

Each partner agrees, for itself and its representatives, to keep Confidential Information confidential using at least the care it applies to its own confidential information, to use it solely to conduct business through Slash PR, and not to publish, disclose, or reproduce it for any other purpose. It may be disclosed only: (a) to representatives who need it for that purpose and are bound by confidentiality obligations at least as protective as these; or (b) where disclosure is required by law, provided the partner gives Slash PR prompt written notice where lawfully permitted so that Slash PR may seek to limit the disclosure.

Information is not Confidential Information to the extent the partner can show that it: (a) was already lawfully known to the partner without restriction; (b) is or becomes publicly known through no fault of the partner or its representatives; (c) is lawfully received from a third party without restriction or breach of any obligation to Slash PR; or (d) was developed independently without use of Confidential Information.

To protect this information, each partner further agrees that during the partnership and for twelve (12) months after it ends, it will not use the Rate Card, the outlet portfolio, or other Confidential Information to approach, solicit, or contract directly with any Publication identified in them for the placement of media or advertising that Slash PR could otherwise arrange. This clause protects the relationships and pricing Slash PR maintains; it does not restrict business conducted independently of the Confidential Information, and working with others in the same field is not, by itself, a breach.

A breach of this section may cause harm that money alone cannot remedy, and Slash PR may seek injunctive or other equitable relief for a breach or threatened breach, in addition to its other remedies. On request after a partnership ends, a partner will return or destroy the Confidential Information in its possession, except copies retained as required by law, which remain subject to this section.

/Intellectual property

The website and its entire contents, features, and functionality, including all text, graphics, design, layout, logos, marks, and the selection and arrangement of them, are the property of Slash PR or its licensors and are protected by copyright, trademark, trade secret, and other intellectual property laws. These Terms permit you to view the website to evaluate a partnership and to use it as an onboarded partner. You may not reproduce, distribute, modify, create derivative works of, publicly display, republish, download, store, or transmit any material on the website except as ordinary browsing requires or with prior written permission. If you copy material in breach of these Terms, your right to use the website ceases immediately, and you must, at our option, return or destroy the copies. No right, title, or interest in the website or its content is transferred to you, and all rights not expressly granted are reserved.

/Third-party services and links

The website relies on third-party services to function, including a hosting provider, a form-handling service that processes partnership inquiries, and a web font provider. It may also link to third-party websites. We do not control or endorse those services or sites and are not responsible for their content, availability, practices, or policies. Your use of a third-party service is governed by that provider's own terms and privacy policy, and anything it collects from you is between you and the provider. Our Privacy notice describes what these services receive when you use this site.

/Disclaimer of warranties

Your use of the website and its content is at your own risk. The website and its content are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Slash PR disclaims all warranties, conditions, and representations, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement, and any warranties arising from course of dealing or usage of trade.

Slash PR makes no representation or warranty about the accuracy, completeness, reliability, or usefulness of content on the website or on any site linked from it, and any reliance you place on such content is at your own risk. Slash PR does not warrant that the website will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free, that defects will be corrected, or that the website or the servers that make it available are free of viruses or other harmful components. You are responsible for your own anti-virus protection and for the security of your own systems and data.

The only commitments Slash PR makes regarding placements are those stated in the Booking Agreement above and in the written Partner Agreement and booking confirmations; this website makes or implies no other warranty regarding the services. Nothing in this section affects any warranty that cannot be excluded under applicable law.

/Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, neither party will be liable to the other for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, punitive, or speculative damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, or goodwill, arising out of the website, these Terms, or any Booking, however caused and under any theory of liability, even if advised of the possibility of such damages. This exclusion does not apply to a party's confidentiality or indemnification obligations under these Terms.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Slash PR's total aggregate liability arising out of the website, these Terms, and any Bookings will not exceed the amounts the partner paid to Slash PR in the twelve (12) months preceding the event giving rise to the claim. Nothing here limits liability that cannot be limited under applicable law.

/Indemnification

In addition to the booking indemnity above, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Slash PR and the people who work with it from any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and expenses, including reasonable legal fees, arising out of your use of the website or of any information obtained from it, your breach of these Terms, or your violation of any law or of the rights of any third party. Slash PR may assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter subject to indemnification by you, in which case you agree to cooperate with that defense.

/Assignment

A partner may not assign, transfer, or delegate these Terms, the Partner Agreement, or any Booking, in whole or in part, without Slash PR's prior written consent, and any attempted assignment without consent is void. Slash PR may assign these Terms in a merger, reorganization, or sale of the practice, provided the successor assumes the obligations owed to partners, including confidentiality.

/Waiver and severability

No waiver of any term of these Terms is a further or continuing waiver of that term or any other, and failure to assert a right or provision does not waive it. If any provision is held invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, it will be limited or removed to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions continue in full force and effect.

/Entire agreement

These Terms, including the Booking Agreement, together with the Privacy notice, govern your use of the website. For partner agencies, the written Partner Agreement and the written booking confirmations govern commercial matters and control over these Terms where they differ. Together, those documents are the entire agreement between you and Slash PR on their respective subjects and supersede all prior understandings, written and oral, on those subjects.

/Notices

All notices under these Terms must be in writing. Notices to a partner are sent to the contact details provided at onboarding or in the applicable Booking. Notices to Slash PR, and questions about these Terms, can be sent through the contact page.
