Ziff Davis TOS Changed
Friday, October 23, 2026
What this means for you
The new terms won't kick in until September 2026 instead of March, giving you a few extra months with the current rules. MapGenie, a new website under their umbrella, is now covered by these same terms. There's also a tiny formatting fix that doesn't change what you can actually do on any of their sites.
Plain-English explanation, not legal advice.
