Terms of Service
Last updated: April 26, 2026
These terms govern your use of the PowerAether Intelligence website and newsletter subscriptions. By subscribing or using this website, you agree to these terms.
1. Who we are
PowerAether Intelligence ("we," "us," "the publisher") is a sole proprietorship (autónomo) registered in Madrid, Spain. The publisher operates two biweekly newsletters: PowerAether Intelligence — North America Edition, and PowerAether Intelligence — Europe Edition.
2. The service
We provide a biweekly intelligence briefing in PDF format covering regulatory and grid-connection developments affecting the data center sector. Each issue contains independently researched analysis sourced primarily from regulatory dockets, official orders, law-firm alerts, and trade press.
Free subscribers receive: a public preview article from each issue, plus access to all PDF issues older than 90 days.
Paid subscribers receive: every biweekly PDF issue delivered to their email inbox on publication day, plus access to the full archive.
3. Subscriptions and payment
3.1 Free trial / launch period
For the first 60 days following launch (the "launch period"), all subscriptions are free of charge. No payment information is required during the launch period. We reserve the right to extend the launch period at our discretion.
3.2 Paid subscriptions
After the launch period, paid subscriptions begin at the rates published on the website. We will provide at least 14 days' advance notice by email before charging any subscriber. You may cancel your subscription at any time before charging begins.
Subscriptions auto-renew at the end of each billing period (monthly or annual) until cancelled. We will email a renewal reminder at least 7 days before each annual renewal.
3.3 Payment methods and processing
Payments are processed by Stripe Payments Europe Ltd., a PCI-DSS Level 1 certified payment processor. We accept: Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and SEPA Direct Debit. We do not store your payment details — they are held by Stripe.
3.4 VAT and invoicing
Prices are displayed exclusive of VAT (Value Added Tax / IVA). VAT is added at checkout based on your billing address:
- Spanish customers: 21% IVA added
- EU B2B customers with valid VAT number: reverse-charge (no VAT charged on our invoice)
- EU consumers (B2C): VAT applied at the rate of your country of residence
- Non-EU customers: no VAT charged
VAT-compliant invoices are issued within 5 business days of payment and delivered to your registered email. From 1 July 2026, electronic invoices for Spanish and EU B2B customers will comply with Spanish e-invoicing requirements (Crea y Crece law).
3.5 Refund policy
Annual subscriptions: if you cancel within 14 days of payment and have downloaded fewer than 2 PDFs, we will refund 100% of the subscription fee. After 14 days or after 2 PDFs are downloaded, no refund is available, but we will not charge you for the next renewal.
Monthly subscriptions: non-refundable. Cancel any time to stop the next renewal.
EU consumer right of withdrawal: EU consumers (not businesses) have a 14-day right of withdrawal under EU Directive 2011/83/EU. By subscribing, you consent to receiving digital content (the PDFs) immediately, which means the right of withdrawal lapses once the first PDF is delivered, in accordance with Article 16(m) of the Directive. We will inform you of this at checkout.
4. Cancellation
You may cancel your subscription at any time from your subscriber dashboard or by emailing info@poweraether.com. Your access continues until the end of your current billing period.
We may cancel your subscription at our discretion if you violate these terms; in such cases we will pro-rate any unused portion of an annual subscription.
5. Acceptable use
You agree to use our newsletters and website only for lawful purposes. You agree NOT to:
- Forward, share, redistribute, or publish the PDF newsletters in whole or in significant part to non-subscribers. Each subscription is for one individual reader.
- Resell or sublicense the content. Team licences (multiple seats) must be purchased separately at the published team rate.
- Train AI/ML models on the content without express written permission.
- Scrape, mass-download, or systematically extract content from the website.
- Misrepresent our analysis or attribute fabricated quotes to us.
- Use the content in a way that competes directly with PowerAether Intelligence (e.g., creating a competing newsletter substantially derived from ours).
You may quote brief excerpts (under 150 words) with proper attribution and a link to poweraether.com. You may share the publicly available website articles freely.
6. Intellectual property
All content in our newsletters, website, and related materials is the intellectual property of PowerAether Intelligence (or our licensors), protected by Spanish and EU copyright law. We retain all rights not expressly granted in these terms.
We use third-party trademarks (e.g., FERC, ERCOT, BNetzA) solely for editorial reference; their use does not imply affiliation or endorsement.
7. Editorial standards and disclaimers
7.1 Editorial accuracy
We make reasonable efforts to ensure the accuracy of all information in our newsletters. Each issue is sourced from primary regulatory documents and verified by independent industry counsel before publication. When we identify errors, we publish errata in the next issue and on the website.
7.2 Not legal, financial, or investment advice
The content of PowerAether Intelligence is for informational purposes only. It is not legal advice, financial advice, investment advice, or professional advice of any kind. We are not a law firm, financial advisor, or registered investment advisor. You should consult qualified professionals before making decisions based on our content.
7.3 Forward-looking statements
Our analysis includes forward-looking views about regulatory developments, deal flow, and market dynamics. These are estimates based on publicly available information at the time of writing. Actual outcomes may differ materially. We do not guarantee any particular outcome.
8. Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by Spanish law, our total liability to you for any claim arising from your use of our service is limited to the amount you have paid us in the 12 months preceding the claim.
We are not liable for: indirect or consequential losses; lost profits; lost business opportunities; lost data; or any losses you suffer because you relied on our content for a regulatory, investment, legal, or business decision.
Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited under Spanish law (e.g., for fraud, gross negligence, or personal injury caused by negligence).
9. Service availability
We make reasonable efforts to deliver newsletters on the published schedule, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted service. We may delay or suspend publication for technical, editorial, or force majeure reasons (e.g., illness, infrastructure outages, vendor failures).
If we miss a scheduled publication date by more than 14 days for non-force-majeure reasons, paid subscribers may request a pro-rated extension to their subscription.
10. Changes to these terms
We may update these terms from time to time. Material changes will be communicated by email to all active subscribers at least 30 days before they take effect. If you do not agree to the updated terms, you may cancel your subscription before they take effect.
11. Governing law and disputes
These terms are governed by the laws of Spain. Any dispute arising from these terms or your use of our service will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Madrid, Spain.
For EU consumers (not businesses), the European Commission provides an Online Dispute Resolution platform: ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr.
