A reading, not a contract with the names.

The reading

The Legend Magazine is my editorial directory, edited in Copenhagen. You may read it. You may follow a link to a person’s own page. The catalog I show is the Public Influencer Directory and Creator Database: public creator statistics, a username, and the fields that were actually on the card. I do not invent biographies. I do not sell inboxes. There is no checkout, no escrow, no subscription, and no file of addresses for sale.

These terms are the house rules for that reading. They are not a document a law firm negotiated, and they do not create a street address or a company registration number. I will not print either until it is a fact. The colophon is the geography I claim. My name on the page is the name of the editor, not a warranty that a court has reviewed this sentence.

No marketplace

You may not treat a profile as an offer from me to hire that person, and you may not treat me as their agent. The people in the book are not my employees and not my clients. I do not introduce them to you, and I do not take a fee when two people work together, because I do not make the introduction. Nothing on the site is a quote, a rate card, or a promise that anyone will reply. The disclaimer says that in one place. It binds the reading of every page, including lists, subject pages, and tools.

Sponsoring a list, if it ever happens, will be a labeled line and will not be hidden inside the order. Engagement, then average views, then followers, remains the sort. A sponsor does not buy the first position. I do not have clients to name, and I will not invent one. The partners page is the longer version of that refusal.

The figures

Figures are printed as recorded. They go stale. A high engagement rate is not a recommendation, and a tier is not a certificate. A comparison with a median is the mark from the card, not a study I will reopen on demand. I do not promise that a picture will load, or that a subject line was a careful self-portrait rather than a messy field. Where I know the field is messy, the methodology page says so, and the sources page says how to check a card against the person’s own page.

I do not promise completeness. A missing person is a missing row, or a username that does not match. Search is literal. I do not keep a list of near-misses. Subject pages and place pages have floors, so a single unusual line does not become a department. Lists follow pages I actually read. I do not add a person to a list to make the subject look busier.

Your use of the pages

Quoting a name and a figure, with the date and a link, is ordinary reading. Copying the magazine into a product that sells contact details is not, and there are no contact details here to harvest. Do not present my pages as if you had written the rows. Do not send the site automated traffic meant to knock it over. Do not try to walk around the absence of an inbox by scraping the book for addresses it does not hold.

Do not use the site to sort people by race or ethnicity. I do not publish a list whose only subject is a race or an ethnicity, and I do not offer that filter. Gender and age, when present, are audience charts on the person, not a way to shop the directory. You may not rebuild that shop out of the charts.

My prose

The sentences on the house pages, the journal, the list titles I rewrote, and the design of the magazine are mine. The facts in a row were already public. You may cite a fact. You may not paste my essays, my method, or the arrangement of a list into another product and call it yours. The directory is a reading of public cards, not a dataset I license.

Outbound links are someone else’s page. Their terms, if they have any, are theirs. I am not a party to what you do after you leave.

No accounts, and no warranty I did not write

There is no account to suspend, because there is no account. If a page is missing, it is missing. I would rather a clear absence than a homepage pretending to be the page you asked for. The figures, the order, and the availability of the site are a reading I publish, not a service level I sell. I do not warrant that a count is still true this afternoon, that a person is who the card suggests, or that a link still opens. The privacy notice describes what I hold. It is not a promise that the open web will forget a number.

To the extent a house rule can say this in plain language: I am not liable for a decision you take because you treated a public statistic as an endorsement, a reply, a biography, or a fee. If a court ever has to read these terms, the intent is the paragraph at the top. A public reading of public statistics, without a marketplace hiding under the masthead.

I may change these terms by changing this page. The date of the issue on the masthead is the date of the magazine, not a version number for the terms. If a rule changes in a way that matters, the sentence on this page will change, and I will not bury it.
