About The Source Code

The Source Code ⭐ Premium is a subscription-based email publication provided by OG JOHN AG (“publisher,” “we” or “us”). By using the website or subscribing, you agree to these Terms, subject to any non-waivable rights under applicable law.

The briefing provides commentary and research about precious metals, inventories, futures-market data, economic releases, central banks and related developments. The regular delivery target is 7:00 a.m. U.S. Eastern Time on U.S. market days, before the normal U.S. stock-market opening bell. Holidays, unusual market conditions, technical problems and other circumstances can affect delivery or content.

The 7-day trial, pricing and payment

Premium includes a seven-day free trial with a credit card required. After the trial, the subscription renews at $17 per month unless canceled. Checkout is managed by Gumroad and displays your upcoming charge details.

Subscription and payment processing take place on Gumroad, not on this static site. Review the exact price, currency, monthly renewal, start date, renewal terms, applicable taxes and any displayed checkout conditions before confirming the trial. Recurring charges continue in accordance with the selected plan unless the membership is canceled under the applicable terms.

The offer displayed on this site should be kept consistent with the live Gumroad checkout. If there is a discrepancy, resolve it before accepting signups.

Cancellation and access

You can manage or cancel your membership through Subscription settings / Manage membership in your Gumroad emailed receipt or Gumroad Library. Consult Gumroad’s subscription-management instructions for current steps.

If you want to avoid being charged after the trial, cancel before the free trial expires, subject to the precise Gumroad checkout terms applicable to your plan. A cancellation may affect future billing and continued access according to Gumroad’s subscription rules.

For refund requests, use the publisher contact information included in your receipt. Refund eligibility depends on applicable law and the refund policy disclosed with the purchase; this page does not promise automatic refunds. Gumroad explains where to find seller contact details on a receipt.

Editorial content and financial-risk disclaimer

The Source Code is provided for general information, education and commentary. It does not provide individualized investment, tax, legal or financial advice; personal trade recommendations; a guarantee of returns; or a promise that any particular price prediction will be correct.

Financial markets are volatile, and data can be preliminary, revised, delayed or incorrect. Interpretations and scenarios reflect information available when written, not certainty about future events. You remain responsible for your own decisions and should consult appropriately qualified professionals for personal advice.

Personal use and intellectual property

Except where a different permission is expressly granted, subscription access is for your own personal, noncommercial reading. Written articles, commentary, research presentation, designs, trademarks and original materials remain with the publisher or their respective rights holders. Do not republish, sell, systematically distribute, scrape or share subscriber-only issues as a substitute for subscribing without permission. This does not restrict rights you have under applicable law, including lawful quotation or fair use/fair dealing.

Service availability and changes

We aim to publish on the schedule described above but cannot guarantee uninterrupted email delivery, a particular number of sections in every edition, market-data availability, or the accuracy and uptime of external services. Reasonable changes to the format, research coverage or publication schedule may occur. If material changes affect a paid subscription, we will provide notice where required by law or by the subscription terms.

Responsibility and limits

You use the research at your own discretion. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the publication is supplied without guarantees of completeness, fitness for a particular investment purpose, or investment outcomes. Nothing in these Terms excludes liability or consumer rights that cannot legally be excluded.

Third-party providers

Checkout and membership controls are operated by Gumroad. Links to third-party sites, market-data publishers and external commentary are provided for context and convenience; we do not control their content or availability. Read Gumroad’s applicable buyer terms and privacy notice when transacting.

Updates, contact and applicable law

For questions about these Terms or the publisher, contact OG JOHN AG at support@ogjohnag.com. Rights and obligations under applicable consumer-protection laws remain unaffected.

For questions, use the Contact page or the contact details in your Gumroad receipt.
