Terms of Use

1. Acceptance of Terms

Welcome to The 483 (the483.com). These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the website, content, newsletter, and any related services (collectively, the “Service”) operated by The 483 (“we,” “us,” or “our”). By accessing or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, you must not use the Service.

These Terms apply to all visitors, readers, newsletter subscribers, and other users of the Service. If you are using the Service on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization to these Terms.

2. About The 483

The 483 is an independent publication covering compliance, enforcement, and corporate news in regulated industries — including FDA enforcement actions, SEC enforcement, biotech and pharmaceutical mergers and acquisitions, lawsuits, and broader regulatory developments. The Service is operated by an individual publisher based in the United States.

What we are: An independent news publication focused on compliance and enforcement journalism. Our audience includes compliance officers, attorneys, biotech investors, and regulatory specialists.

What we are NOT:

  • We are NOT a law firm and do NOT provide legal advice or legal services.
  • We are NOT a registered investment advisor, broker-dealer, or financial planner, and do NOT provide investment advice or recommendations.
  • We are NOT licensed medical professionals and do NOT provide medical advice.
  • We are NOT regulators and do NOT speak for any government agency.
  • We are NOT auditors, accountants, or compliance consultants.

The Service is provided for general informational and journalistic purposes only.

3. Content & Editorial

The 483 publishes original news articles, summaries, and analysis. Our editorial process is AI-assisted journalism: we use large language models (including but not limited to Anthropic’s Claude) to help draft articles based on facts gathered from primary public sources, regulatory filings, press releases, and reputable third-party news outlets. All published articles are original works produced by The 483, not verbatim copies of source material.

While we strive for accuracy, completeness, and timeliness, we make no warranty that any article is free of errors, omissions, or misinterpretations. News develops rapidly, and information that is accurate at the time of publication may later become outdated, superseded, or incorrect. Readers are responsible for verifying any fact through primary sources before acting on it.

Where we link to a primary source (regulator filing, press release, or originating news outlet), readers are encouraged to consult that source directly. Our articles are starting points, not endpoints, for research.

4. Third-Party Content & Fair Use

The 483 reports on news that is, by its nature, drawn from publicly available information published by regulators, companies, and other news organizations. Our use of factual information from third-party sources is grounded in:

  • Public-domain factual reporting, including regulatory documents (FDA Form 483s, warning letters, SEC filings) which are works of the United States government and not subject to copyright.
  • Fair use under 17 U.S.C. § 107 and analogous doctrines in other jurisdictions, for purposes of news reporting, commentary, criticism, and education. Our use is transformative: we synthesize facts from multiple sources into original, short-form journalism, and we provide attribution and links to original sources.
  • Attribution: every article that draws from a third-party news source includes a link to that source.

Images displayed alongside articles may include OpenGraph preview images sourced from the originating publisher (used in a transformative, non-commercial news context with attribution), public-domain imagery, or Creative Commons-licensed material. If you are a rights holder and believe your work has been used improperly, please follow the DMCA procedure in Section 12.

5. User Conduct

You agree to use the Service only for lawful purposes and in a manner consistent with these Terms. You may:

  • Read and share links to our articles.
  • Quote short excerpts of our articles for commentary, education, or research, provided you include a clear attribution to The 483 and a link back to the original article.

You may NOT:

  • Scrape, crawl, harvest, or use any automated means to access or copy content from the Service, except for general-purpose search engine indexing in accordance with our robots.txt.
  • Republish, mirror, syndicate, or redistribute substantial portions of our content without prior written permission.
  • Use our content to train, fine-tune, or evaluate any machine learning model without prior written permission.
  • Misrepresent the source of our content or remove attribution.
  • Use the Service in any manner that could damage, disable, overburden, or impair it.
  • Attempt to gain unauthorized access to any portion of the Service or related systems.
  • Use the Service to transmit unlawful, defamatory, harassing, or infringing material.
