Last updated: July 22, 2026

Welcome to A Better Bucks (abetterbucks.com), a local news and politics website covering Bucks County, Pennsylvania. We're glad you're here. Before you dive into our coverage, please take a few minutes to read through these terms — they govern your use of our site.

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using abetterbucks.com (the "Site"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you don't agree with any part of these terms, please don't use the Site.

We may update these terms from time to time. When we do, we'll update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Your continued use of the Site after changes are posted means you accept the new terms.

2. The Site's Role

A Better Bucks is an independent local news publication covering the people, politics, and communities of Bucks County. We publish journalism, opinion, and community information in the public interest. Our content is produced with care, but it is not legal, financial, or professional advice. Always verify critical information with appropriate sources.

3. Content Ownership

Our content. All articles, headlines, graphics, photos, videos, and other materials produced by A Better Bucks are owned by us or our licensors. You are welcome to share links to our content on social media, quote short excerpts with attribution ("Source: A Better Bucks"), and generally help spread local news. But you may not republish substantial portions of our work — whole articles, large blocks of text, or our images — without our written permission.

Your content. Any comments, letters, or other submissions you send us remain yours. By submitting them to the Site, you grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to publish, display, and distribute them on our site and across our social media channels. We may also lightly edit submissions for clarity, length, or accuracy (for example, correcting a typo or trimming a long letter).

4. User Conduct

We believe in respectful, informed conversation about local issues. When you use the Site — whether reading, commenting, or submitting content — you agree to:

• Be civil. Disagree all you want. That's what a healthy community does. But keep it respectful. No personal attacks, harassment, threats, or hate speech.
• Tell the truth. Don't post false information or impersonate someone else.
• Stay legal. Don't use the Site to break the law — no defamation, copyright infringement, or illegal activity.
• No spam. Don't flood the site with repetitive posts, advertisements, or links to commercial products.

We reserve the right to remove any content that violates these standards and to block users who repeatedly cause problems.

5. Comments and Reader Submissions

Comments and reader-submitted content (letters to the editor, tips, event listings) are the opinions of their authors, not of A Better Bucks. We don't endorse or verify every submission.

By commenting or submitting content, you represent that:

• The content is your own original work (or you have permission to share it).
• It isn't defamatory, obscene, or otherwise unlawful.
• It doesn't contain private information about someone else without their consent.

We may choose to feature, reject, or remove reader submissions at our discretion. We're a small team and may not catch everything — if you see something that concerns you, please let us know.

6. Third-Party Links

Our site may contain links to other websites, social media platforms, or services. We link to them because they're useful to our readers, but we don't control them and aren't responsible for their content, privacy practices, or anything else that happens over there.

7. Disclaimer of Liability

A Better Bucks provides this site on an "as is" and "as available" basis. We work hard to keep everything accurate and running smoothly, but we make no guarantees:

• No warranty. We don't guarantee that the Site will be error-free, uninterrupted, or free of viruses or other harmful components.
• No liability. To the fullest extent permitted by law, A Better Bucks and its contributors will not be liable for any damages arising from your use of the Site — including but not limited to direct, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages.

Nothing in this section limits our liability where the law doesn't allow it (for example, for gross negligence or intentional misconduct).

8. Governing Law

These Terms of Service are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. Any disputes arising from these terms or your use of the Site will be resolved in the state or federal courts located in Bucks County, Pennsylvania.

9. Termination

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your access to the Site at any time, without notice, for conduct that we believe violates these terms or is harmful to other users, the Site, or the community.

If your access is terminated, these terms still apply to any content you've submitted and to sections that by their nature survive termination (like the disclaimer of liability).

10. Contact Us

We welcome your questions, concerns, and feedback about these terms or anything else on the Site.
