3. Subscriptions and payments. CaMSOb publishes the Full Brief and the Digest each month, with two periodic supplements, TW&IC (Thailand Watch & Impact on Cambodia) and IR&IC (International Relations & Impact on Cambodia), in English, Khmer and French. Paid subscriptions renew monthly until cancelled. Prices are shown on our Pricing & Refunds page. Our order process is conducted by our online reseller Paddle.com.

4. Acceptable use. You must not misuse the Service. In particular, you must not:

  • copy, resell or redistribute paid content, or share your account with others;
  • scrape or harvest the Service by automated means;
  • attempt to disrupt or gain unauthorized access to the Service or its systems;
  • use the Service for any unlawful purpose, or to harass or harm others.

5. Intellectual property and permitted use. CaMSOb retains ownership of the Service and all its intellectual property, including the Full Brief, the Digest, TW&IC and IR&IC in every language, the audio, the website, and the CaMSOb name, logo and branding. Your subscription grants you a personal, non-transferable licence to read and reference CaMSOb content for your own use. Without CaMSOb's prior written consent, you may not redistribute, republish or forward CaMSOb publications to non-subscribers; post or share them on public websites, social media or file-sharing platforms; use them to train artificial intelligence or machine learning models; or remove or alter any copyright notice or attribution. Brief quotations for legitimate commentary, criticism or journalism are permitted, provided CaMSOb is clearly credited as the source.

6. Your responsibility. You are responsible for the accuracy of the information you give us, for keeping your account secure, and for any messages you send us. You must not send us anything unlawful or anything you do not have the right to share.

7. Editorial disclaimer. CaMSOb is compiled through research synthesis from publicly available sources, not independent fact-verification of the kind performed by a professional fact-checker or journalist. Every factual claim is attributed to named sources, but their underlying accuracy has not been independently confirmed by CaMSOb. This disclaimer is repeated at the end of each individual issue and applies equally here. Subscribers relying on CaMSOb content for decisions with material consequences, particularly regarding corruption, human rights, investment or legal matters, should independently verify the most consequential claims against original source documents. CaMSOb publishes corrections when it finds errors. The content is for information only and is not legal, financial or investment advice.

8. Limitation of liability. To the extent permitted by law, CaMSOb is not liable for indirect or consequential losses arising from your use of the Service, and our total liability for any claim is limited to the amount you paid for the Service in the three months before the claim.

9. Changes. We may update the Service and these Terms. Material changes will be communicated to subscribers by email or through the Service. Continued use after a change means you accept it.

10. Governing law. These Terms are governed by the laws of the Kingdom of Cambodia, without affecting any mandatory consumer rights you have where you live.
