These terms cover orrerydaily.com, the Orrery brief and every Orrery subscription. By using them or subscribing, you agree to these terms. Please read them with our Privacy Policy.

Who we are

Orrery is an independent publication based in Virginia, USA. “Orrery”, “we”, “us” and “our” mean the operator of Orrery. We publish a daily brief and analysis on markets, technology and the economy. We don't take payment to cover a company, and we label every sponsor.

Not investment advice

Everything Orrery publishes or sends you, including the brief, deep dives, the Consensus Map, Timelines, the Ledger, the Ledger League, watchlist digests and answers to your questions, is general information and analysis, the same for every reader. It is not investment, financial, legal or tax advice, and it is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold any security or other asset. We are not a registered investment adviser or broker-dealer.

Do your own research and talk to a licensed professional before you make financial decisions. Forecasts, including the ones we score in the Ledger, can be wrong, and past results don't guarantee future results.

Who can subscribe

• You must be 18 or older to subscribe.
• Each subscription is for one person. Please don't share your account or forward the paid brief to lists.
• Give us a working email address. That's where we deliver everything.

Plans and purchases

Member, $39.99 a month

The daily brief by email every weekday before the US stock market opens, the Week Ahead every Sunday, two deep dives a month with access to past deep dives, the full Ledger, and the Ledger League and Launch Nights.

Insider, $399 a year

Everything in Member for a full year, plus the quarterly State of the Future report, the quarterly members' Q&A, and a vote on upcoming deep dive topics. We choose which questions the Q&A answers, and we may decline a question that asks for personal investment advice or falls outside what we cover.

Founding prices

The first 100 members on each plan pay a founding price: $19.99 a month for Member or $199 a year for Insider. Your founding price stays the same for as long as your membership stays active. If your membership ends, because you cancel or a payment fails and isn't fixed, and you join again later, the price at that time applies. Founding prices can't be combined with other offers.

Delivery

• We may skip US market holidays. If we ever miss a scheduled issue for another reason, we'll tell you.
• We may change what a plan includes. If a change takes away something important from your plan, we'll email you first, and you can cancel.

Billing and renewal

• Memberships renew automatically until you cancel. Member renews every month and Insider every year, on the date you joined. We charge the card you used at checkout.
• We email Insiders about 30 days before each yearly renewal, with the price and how to cancel.
• Prices are in US dollars. Where sales tax applies, it's added at checkout.
• Payments are processed by Stripe. We never see or store your full card number.
• If we change a price, we'll email you at least 30 days before it applies to your membership. Founding prices don't change while your membership stays active.

Cancellation and refunds

• Cancel anytime from Member login on our site, from the link in any email, or by emailing us. Cancellation stops the next renewal. You keep access until the end of the period you paid for.
• First-payment refund. If Orrery isn't for you, email us within 14 days of your first payment and we'll refund it in full.
• After that, payments aren't refundable for the unused part of a month or year, except where the law requires.
• Refunds go back to your original payment method. Your bank may take 5 to 10 business days to show it.
• If something went wrong with a charge, please email us before you dispute it with your bank. We'll fix it.

Ledger League and Launch Nights

The Ledger League is a skill-based forecasting game included with every plan. There is no entry fee and no cash prize. Seasons, questions and scoring follow the rules on our League page, and we may update them between seasons. You choose the display name we show on the leaderboard. We may remove a name or an entry that impersonates someone, is offensive, or tries to game the scoring. Scores and badges describe forecasting skill only. They aren't investment advice or a judgment of anyone's finances.

Launch Nights are live threads for members. Be respectful, stay on topic, and don't promote securities, tokens or services. We may remove posts, or members who break these rules.

How Orrery is made

• We use AI tools to find, read, summarize and check sources and to help draft. A person reviews every issue before it's sent.
• We link the source for every claim. We work hard to be accurate, but mistakes happen. When we get something wrong, we correct it in public.
• We report what public sources say on the dates shown. Things change after we publish.

The Ledger

The Ledger records public forecasts made by others and by us, and scores them by the rules on our Ledger page. A score describes how a forecast turned out. It isn't a judgment of any person or firm beyond that.

Our content

Our briefs, reports, charts, Ledger and site are ours and protected by copyright. Your subscription gives you a personal, non-transferable license to read them. You're welcome to share a short quote or a single chart with credit and a link to Orrery. Please don't forward the paid brief to lists, republish it or resell it. Company and product names belong to their owners, and we use them only to report on them.

Services we use

Checkout and billing run on Stripe, email on our newsletter provider, and the site on Cloudflare. Their own terms apply when you use them. We aren't responsible for their services, but we choose them with care.

Disclaimers and limits

To the fullest extent the law allows, we provide Orrery and everything we publish as is, without warranties of any kind, and we aren't liable for decisions you make based on it, including investment decisions. We aren't liable for any indirect, incidental or consequential loss. Our total liability for any claim is limited to what you paid us in the 12 months before the claim. If you didn't pay us anything, it's limited to $100.

Some places don't allow these limits. Where that's the case, they apply only as far as the law allows. Nothing in these terms limits any right you have that can't be limited by law.

Disputes

If you're unhappy, email us first and give us 30 days to put it right. Most problems get fixed fast. These terms are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia, USA, without regard to its conflict of laws rules. Any dispute goes to the state or federal courts located in Virginia, and either of us may use small claims court instead where it qualifies.

Changes

We may update these terms. The date at the top shows the latest version. If a change is significant, we'll email subscribers before it applies. If any part of these terms can't be enforced, the rest still applies. These terms, with the policies they link to, are the whole agreement between us about Orrery.
