Terms of Access

In force from 3 September 2026.

A. What these terms cover

These terms govern access to sidewage.online and to any paid item offered by its publisher. Using the site indicates acceptance of them. Anyone who does not accept them should not use the site.

B. Who may use it

The site and any paid item are intended solely for people aged 18 or over with the legal capacity to enter a binding agreement. The site is not directed at minors, and no purchase may be made by one.

C. What this publication is

Side Wage publishes descriptive summaries of research about platform labour, online side income and how monetization studies are measured and reported. The content is informational and editorial. It is not professional advice of any kind, is not an assessment of any individual situation, and is not a method, system, formula, protocol or sequence of steps presented as producing an outcome.

D. No professional relationship

Reading this site, corresponding with the publisher or purchasing any item creates no professional, advisory, fiduciary, consulting, employment or agency relationship.

E. No claim as to results

The publisher makes no representation, warranty or claim about results, consequences or effects arising from reading, using or applying anything published here or in any paid item. Findings summarised here describe study populations and samples; a statement about a population is not a statement about an individual.

F. Licence to use the content

Notes are available for personal, non-commercial reading. A short passage may be quoted with attribution to Side Wage and a link to the source page. Systematic reproduction, republication, redistribution, translation, inclusion in a training dataset, or automated copying of the site in whole or in substantial part requires prior written permission.

A purchaser of a paid item receives a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to access it for their own use. The licence does not permit sharing access credentials, resale, sublicensing or public distribution.

G. Intellectual property

Text, layout, stylesheets, graphics and the name Side Wage belong to the publisher, except where third-party material is identified as such. Research findings, data and quotations remain the property of their authors and publishers and are summarised here under applicable quotation provisions, with attribution.

H. Acceptable use

• No attempt to gain unauthorised access to the site or its infrastructure.
• No automated scraping, mirroring or bulk retrieval without written permission.
• No use of the site or the publisher's name to imply an endorsement, an affiliation or a claim of results.
• No interference with the availability of the site for other readers.

I. External links

Notes link to research papers, institutional pages and other external resources. The publisher does not control them and is not responsible for their content, accuracy or availability. A link is a citation, not an endorsement.

J. Purchases and payment disputes

Where a paid item is offered, the price, currency and delivery method are stated at checkout. Payment is processed by a third-party processor. Chargebacks and payment disputes are handled through that processor and the purchaser's financial institution; the publisher cooperates with legitimate dispute inquiries. Refunds are governed by the Refund Policy.

K. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent applicable law permits, the publisher accepts no liability for loss or damage arising from reliance on anything published here or from use of any paid item. Statutory rights that cannot lawfully be excluded, including consumer rights under Brazilian law, are preserved.

L. Governing law and venue

These terms are governed by the laws of the Federative Republic of Brazil. Subject to mandatory consumer protections that may apply in the purchaser's place of residence, disputes are submitted to the courts of the publisher's domicile in Brazil.

M. Changes

Updated terms are published on this page with a revised “in force” date. Continued use of the site after that date indicates acceptance of the revised terms for subsequent access.
