Business Research Journal

Terms of Service

Effective Date: Wednesday, July 9, 2025

👤 Who Can Use This Site?

At the moment: just me.

If you are:

  • Me
  • A future version of me
  • A temporary doppelgänger with my SSH keys

✅ You may proceed.

If you are:

  • A random internet visitor
  • A bored bot crawling in hopes of ad revenue
  • A hacker trying to brute force the login page for… reasons

🚫 You may not proceed. Go touch grass.

🔐 Access Requirements

To use this site, you must:

  • Know the login page (good luck)
  • Know the password (even better luck)
  • Be authorized by me (which you aren’t, probably ever)

Any unauthorized access will be logged, judged silently, and possibly written about in a future thesis chapter called “Uninvited Guests and the Sociology of Curiosity.”

📂 Acceptable Use Policy

You (read: I) agree to use this website for the following only:

  • Writing dissertation notes and journal entries
  • Copy-pasting citations while crying softly
  • Drafting wildly ambitious project ideas at 3am
  • Uploading PDFs and then forgetting what folder they’re in

Prohibited activities include:

  • Breaking my stuff
  • Reading my drafts without context
  • Changing my categories to lowercase when I clearly made them Title Case
  • Leaving comments before I’ve enabled comments

🦺 Liability Disclaimer

I, the sole user and admin, take no responsibility for:

  • Typos that become permanent
  • Brilliant ideas I forget to follow up on
  • Data loss caused by unplugging the server during a thunderstorm
  • Midnight thoughts that seemed smart until re-read the next morning

Basically, I assume full responsibility for all things, but only in theory.

🧪 Future Features & Chaos

If this site ever becomes multi-user or public (heaven help me), the following changes may occur:

  • Read-only guest mode (with judgmental page headers like “You’re Not Me”)
  • Submission boxes where visitors can suggest ideas and I ignore them for 2–4 business months
  • Newsletter signups that never send anything because I forget I made them

🛠 Modifications to These Terms

These terms may be updated at any time, especially:

  • After a caffeine-fueled redesign
  • If I read another blog with a cooler ToS
  • Or if someone actually reads this and tells me it’s “not technically enforceable”

Until then, these terms are legally binding in spirit, if not in law.

👁 Surveillance and Analytics

I spy on myself constantly.

This site may collect logs of:

  • How often I visit
  • What post I rage-edited at 2am
  • How long I stare at a blinking cursor before writing anything

All analytics are used exclusively to judge past me and fuel imposter syndrome.

📬 Contact

If you have any questions, please email:

Now go forth (or stay put) and use the site responsibly, me.
And if you’re not me, why are you even here? 😏
