You agree to the terms of service below, and the Terms of Use for Substack, the technology provider.
Last Updated: April 21, 2025
1. THE FOOD FREEDOM AGREEMENT
Welcome to The Regenaissance Substack ("the Newsletter") – your digital headquarters for the food system insurgency. These Terms of Service ("Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between you and Regenaissance Media LLC ("we," "us," or "our"). By accessing, subscribing to, or interacting with our Substack in any way, you acknowledge that you've read, understood, and agreed to be bound by these Terms.
Unlike the empty calories of Big Food contracts, we've created these Terms with the same transparency we demand from our food system.
2. CONTENT OWNERSHIP AND INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
2.1 Our Content
Every piece of content we publish – from nutritional truth bombs to corporate exposés – is protected by intellectual property laws. While we encourage you to share the revolution, all original content remains the exclusive property of Regenaissance Media LLC.
You may share our content within your personal networks provided you:
Give proper attribution to The Regenaissance and Ryan Griggs
Do not modify the content in ways that misrepresent our message
Include a link back to the original Substack post
2.2 Your Content
When you contribute comments, questions, or other content to our Substack, you retain ownership of your intellectual property. However, you grant us a worldwide, royalty-free license to use, reproduce, and distribute your content in connection with the Newsletter.
Remember: Just as regenerative agriculture builds on ancestral wisdom, our community builds on shared knowledge. We value your contributions to the conversation.
3. SUBSCRIPTION TERMS
3.1 Free vs. Paid Subscriptions
The Regenaissance offers both free and paid subscription tiers. Think of it like the difference between conventional and regenerative beef – both provide protein, but one delivers substantially more nutrition.
Free Subscription: Provides access to select content and basic community features.
Paid Subscription: Unlocks full access to premium content, exclusive resources, and special community features.
3.2 Billing and Cancellation
Paid subscriptions are billed according to the terms presented at checkout. Like a direct relationship with your local farmer, we believe in straightforward transactions:
You may cancel your subscription at any time through your Substack account settings
Cancellations take effect at the end of your current billing period
We do not provide refunds for partially used subscription periods, except where required by law
4. COMMUNITY STANDARDS
The Regenaissance is building a coalition of health-conscious skeptics, regenerative ranchers, ancestral enthusiasts, and community localists. To maintain the integrity of this ecosystem:
We reject corporate food system propaganda and reserve the right to remove content promoting ultra-processed foods, industrial agriculture, or other harmful conventional narratives
We demand intellectual honesty and may remove content that misrepresents science, spreads misinformation, or engages in bad-faith arguments
We prioritize constructive dialogue over ideological purity tests
Like a biodiverse pasture, our community thrives on respectful disagreement and knowledge exchange. However, we reserve the right to remove content or restrict access for users who repeatedly violate these standards.
5. PRIVACY AND DATA
Unlike Big Food's hidden ingredients, we're transparent about how we handle your data. We collect and process information as outlined in our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference.
Key points:
We will never sell your personal information to third parties
We use industry-standard security measures to protect your data
We use cookies and similar technologies to enhance your experience
6. DISCLAIMERS AND LIMITATIONS
6.1 Health and Medical Information
The Regenaissance provides nutritional and agricultural information based on ancestral wisdom and peer-reviewed science. However:
Our content is not personalized medical advice
Individual results from implementing our recommendations may vary
You should consult with qualified healthcare providers before making significant dietary changes
6.2 Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Regenaissance Media LLC and its representatives will not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of the Newsletter.
7. MODIFICATIONS TO TERMS
Just as regenerative agriculture adapts to local conditions, these Terms may evolve. We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. Continued use of the Newsletter following any changes constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
8. TERMINATION
We reserve the right to terminate or suspend access to our Substack, without prior notice or liability, for conduct that we believe violates these Terms or is harmful to other users, us, or third parties.
9. GOVERNING LAW
These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of [YOUR STATE], without regard to its conflict of law provisions.
