The fine print
Terms of Use
Last updated: 26 June 2026
These terms apply when you use The Daily Dose Plus ("DD+", "we", "us") — our website, mobile app, newsletter, podcasts, shop, and any related features. By using DD+, you agree to these terms.
1. Who these terms cover
They apply to everyone who visits the site, signs up for the newsletter, creates an account, buys merch, listens to our podcasts, or interacts with any DD+ channel.
If you're contributing writing to DD+, separate Writer Contributor Terms also apply.
Plain versionIf you use any part of DD+, these terms apply to you.
2. Your account
You can use most of DD+ without an account. To bookmark articles, save a cart, track orders, or write for us, you need to sign in. You may sign in with your email or with Google.
Keep your password safe and don't let anyone else use your account. If you think someone's used it without permission, email us at thedailydosegm@gmail.com.
You must be at least 13 to create an account.
Plain versionKeep your sign-in details to yourself. You're responsible for what happens on your account.
3. Acceptable use
When you use DD+, please don't:
- break the law, or use DD+ to harass, threaten, or defame other people;
- upload content that infringes someone else's rights (copyright, privacy, or otherwise);
- scrape, copy, or republish DD+ content at scale without our permission;
- try to break into the site, abuse the API, or interfere with how DD+ works for other people.
We may suspend or remove accounts that break these rules.
Plain versionDon't use DD+ to do anything illegal, abusive, or to break the platform.
4. Your content and ours
Articles, podcasts, audio narration, images, the DD+ name, and the look-and-feel of the site are owned by The Daily Dose Plus or our licensors. You can read, listen, and share via the buttons we provide. You can't reproduce them commercially without our permission.
Anything you submit — a pitch, a draft, a comment, a review, an application — stays yours. By submitting it, you give us permission to host it on DD+ and to show it where appropriate (for example, a published article and its credit line, or a review under the article it relates to). You can ask us to take it down at any time.
Writing submitted as a contributor is also covered by our Writer Contributor Terms.
Plain versionOur articles, audio, shows, and brand are ours. Anything you post stays yours — but you let us show it on DD+.
5. Shop, orders, and Wave payments
Prices and stock are shown on the product page and can change. We try to keep them accurate; if something is wrong with an order (mispriced, out of stock), we may cancel it and refund you.
We currently take payment through Wave. When you place an order you'll see a payment panel with the amount and an order reference; you complete the payment in the Wave app. We never see or store your card or bank details. Your order is marked as paid once we confirm the transfer on our side.
Shipping, returns, and any refund policy specific to a product are shown at checkout or on the product page.
Plain versionWhen you place an order, you'll pay through Wave. The order stays pending until we confirm payment, then we ship it.
6. Third-party links and services
DD+ links to YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Wave, and outside articles. Those sites have their own terms. We also use third parties to run DD+ — see our Privacy Policy for the list.
Plain versionWe link out to other sites and use a few services to run DD+. We're not responsible for what's on the other end of a link.
7. Disclaimers
We work hard to publish accurate, well-researched journalism and to keep the site running. Even so, DD+ is provided "as is", without warranties of any kind. Opinions in opinion pieces are the author's own.
Plain versionDD+ is offered as-is. We do our best, but we don't guarantee it'll be perfect or always online.
8. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by Gambian law, DD+ is not liable for indirect or consequential losses arising from your use of the site. Nothing in these terms limits any rights you have under Gambian consumer law that can't be limited.
Plain versionIf something goes wrong, our responsibility is limited to what the law lets us limit.
9. Changes to the service or these terms
We may change features, add new ones, or retire old ones. We may also update these terms; the version in force when you use DD+ is the one that applies.
Plain versionWe can update DD+ and these terms. If we make significant changes, we'll update the date at the top.
10. Ending your account
You can delete your account at any time from your account settings, or by emailing us. We may suspend or close accounts that break these terms or that have been inactive for a long time.
11. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of The Republic of The Gambia.
