Disclaimer, Editorial Standards & Notice-of-Concern Policy
Updated September 16, 2026. Operator succession effective August 21, 2026.
Publisher. The Private Attorney General Project / PAG Project is owned and operated by PAG PROJECT, a Florida limited liability company (Florida document L26000442232). Effective August 21, 2026, it acquired the publication assets from PAG PROJECT LLC, a separate Texas company, through an assignment and contribution. Jeremy Roseberry remains the author. This factual update does not backdate acceptance of revised terms or determine liability for earlier events.
We publish investigative journalism, analysis, commentary and petitioning on matters of public concern. This policy applies to our publication, newsletters and official PAG Project channels. Read it with our Publisher Terms and Publisher Privacy Policy. Substack’s separate platform policies also apply.
Summary of material revisions: Florida governing law and revised court/arbitration provisions for persons who validly agree; removal of the contractual one-year claims deadline and independent court jury waiver; accurate limits on speech defenses, statutory notices, and third-party-content protections; and clearer privacy and amendment-consent language. Material contractual revisions for existing users are proposed for October 16, 2026, subject to required assent. Operator/contact corrections and editorial clarifications are current as of September 16, 2026. This update does not expand subscriber-data uses, sharing or retention.
1) Facts, allegations, opinions and official records
Our reporting distinguishes factual statements, attributed allegations, inferences and opinions in context. An allegation in a petition, complaint or agency submission is not an adjudicated finding. Filing or receipt by a government agency does not establish that the agency agrees with it. Where we offer conclusions from identified material, readers should consider the cited sources and context. Labels such as “opinion,” “allegation” or “fraud” do not by themselves provide immunity for false factual assertions.
We reserve truth and substantial-truth defenses, protected opinion and rhetorical hyperbole, fair comment, and fair-report and official-proceedings privileges where applicable. A privilege depends on its legal requirements, including the character of the source and fairness and accuracy of the account; it is not automatic for every document we submit or republish.
2) Public-interest speech, petitioning and reserved defenses
Our work concerns investor protection, markets and government oversight. We reserve all applicable First Amendment and Florida constitutional speech, press and petition protections, including the actual-malice standard where it applies, as well as applicable reporter’s privileges, petitioning protections, Noerr-Pennington defenses, whistleblower rights and anti-retaliation laws. Whistleblower status does not automatically immunize every public statement.
We invoke Florida’s anti-SLAPP law, Fla. Stat. § 768.295, where applicable, and preserve Texas Citizens Participation Act and other jurisdictional protections when they apply. We may seek early dismissal or judgment, fees, costs, stays, sanctions or appellate review where authorized. Available procedures vary by law and forum; this notice does not create them. We oppose unlawful prior restraints and may seek a bond or other protection where the governing law permits.
3) Editorial standards and corrections
We strive for accuracy, context and a good-faith basis for publication. We favor primary records, attributable sources and links that allow readers to evaluate our analysis. We distinguish our views and interests from official findings, seek relevant responses where appropriate, and correct material errors when identified. These are editorial standards, not a guarantee of error-free content or a waiver of any duty imposed by law.
Reporting reflects the record and information available at the time. Material corrections should be identified rather than silently changing the substance of a published allegation. Links and quotations provide context and do not automatically establish endorsement or legal immunity. Harassment, threats, doxxing and unlawful community content are prohibited.
4) Notice of concern; pre-suit notice and retractions
For an accuracy, defamation or privacy concern, promptly write to Review@pagproject.com (preferred; suggested subject: NOTICE OF CONCERN). Formal notices may be sent to PAG PROJECT, c/o Registered Agents Inc., 7901 4th St N, Suite 300, St. Petersburg, FL 33702, our registered-agent address, not an editorial office. Nothing here limits a legally authorized method of service.
Please identify the exact statement and URL, explain the alleged inaccuracy or legal concern, provide relevant supporting material, and describe the correction or response requested. These preferred details assist review and do not add requirements to a statute or invalidate otherwise legally sufficient notice.
Where Fla. Stat. § 770.01 applies, written notice identifying the publication and statements alleged to be false and defamatory must be served at least five days before a libel or slander action. We reserve that protection where legally available. Under § 770.02, a timely, full and fair correction, apology or retraction may limit recovery to actual damages if the statute’s other requirements, including good faith, honest mistake and reasonable grounds for belief, are met. We also preserve applicable notice and mitigation protections in other jurisdictions, including Texas’s Defamation Mitigation Act when it governs.
We review concerns in good faith and may request clarification, correct or retract material, provide context, publish a response, or explain why no change is warranted. We will not disregard legally sufficient notice merely because it lacks our preferred subject line or additional documents. A correction does not necessarily admit legal liability. This process neither creates a universal prerequisite to every lawsuit nor changes statutory service requirements, deadlines or non-waivable rights.
5) Third-party material and source submissions
We reserve protections available under 47 U.S.C. § 230 for qualifying third-party content and moderation. That statute has limits and is not blanket immunity for our own content or content we develop. The legal treatment of quotation and republication depends on the facts and applicable law.
Unsolicited tips are not promised confidentiality unless we expressly agree otherwise. Do not send material you are legally barred from sharing. Contact us before sending sensitive source-identifying information. We assess requests, applicable privileges and legal restrictions; no absolute source-protection guarantee is made.
We may report on legal correspondence where lawful, with appropriate redaction and respect for applicable confidentiality, privilege, privacy and court orders. Sending a demand does not itself consent to publication.
6) No professional advice
Publication content is general information and public-interest reporting, not individualized legal, tax, accounting or investment advice. PAG is not a law firm, broker-dealer or investment adviser. Reading or submitting content does not establish an attorney-client, advisory or fiduciary relationship. Separate consulting engagements require their own agreement. Consult your own qualified advisers for decisions.
7) Intellectual property
© PAG PROJECT. Our original material and branding are owned by PAG or its licensors. All rights are reserved subject to applicable law, including fair use, and licenses granted through platform terms. Unauthorized redistribution, paywall circumvention and bulk use may infringe our rights. Third-party records, quotations, trademarks and other materials retain their respective legal status. Copyright concerns: Review@pagproject.com; see Publisher Terms Section 9 and Substack’s Copyright Dispute Policy.
8) Applicable law and limits of this notice
Our Publisher Terms describe Florida governing law and dispute provisions for persons who validly agree to them, subject to mandatory law and the stated transition dates. This page does not itself impose arbitration, forum selection, a jury waiver or a release on everyone who reads or is discussed in our content. We preserve every defense and remedy actually available under applicable law, including Florida, Texas or other protections where relevant, without asserting that any one state’s procedures govern every claim.
These clarifications do not retroactively amend accrued claims, eliminate legal duties or guarantee immunity. Questions and corrections: Review@pagproject.com.
