Last updated: July 16, 2026.

The Publication

HOA Weekly publishes regulatory intelligence about state HOA legislation, court rulings, and compliance requirements. The Publication is a paid B2B subscription service, with selected content available without subscription.

Subscriptions and payment

The Publication offers three tiers: a free tier, a single-state subscription, and a multi-state firm subscription. Current pricing is shown on hoaweekly.com/subscribe.

Paid subscriptions are billed monthly in advance through Stripe. Subscriptions automatically renew at the end of each billing period until cancelled by the subscriber. Subscribers may cancel at any time through the account portal or by emailing subscribers@hoaweekly.com.

Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period. The Publication does not provide refunds for partial billing periods.

Account use

Each paid subscription is licensed for use by a single individual or a single small business location. Subscribers may not share login credentials with the public, redistribute access to a paid account, or allow simultaneous use by unrelated parties.

Acceptable use

Users agree not to:

• Scrape, crawl, or systematically download content from the Publication except through the public RSS feed
• Republish, redistribute, or resell Publication content without written permission from HOA Weekly
• Use Publication content as training data for machine learning models or language models intended for commercial deployment
• Circumvent paywalls, access controls, or technical protection measures
• Use the Publication for any unlawful purpose

Limited quotation of Publication content for editorial, educational, or commentary purposes is permitted under fair use, with attribution to HOA Weekly.

Intellectual property

All content published by HOA Weekly, including articles, compilations, summaries, and editorial analysis, is owned by Thastel Group LLC and protected by United States copyright law. Citations to public sources (statutes, court opinions, agency guidance) reproduce material that is itself in the public domain or governmental work.

The HOA Weekly name, logo, and trade dress are property of Thastel Group LLC.

User submissions

Tips, corrections, source recommendations, and other submissions sent to the Publication may be used for editorial purposes, with or without attribution to the submitter at the editorial staff's discretion. Submitters represent that they have the right to share the submitted information.

The Publication does not pay for tips or submissions and does not commit to publishing or acknowledging any particular submission.

Not legal, financial, or professional advice

HOA Weekly publishes general regulatory information, not legal advice. Articles, compliance guides, bill explainers, and court summaries describe the state of the law as understood at the time of publication, but do not constitute legal counsel for any specific situation.

No attorney-client relationship is created by reading the Publication, subscribing to it, or corresponding with its staff. A plain-English explanation of this policy is published at hoaweekly.com/disclaimer.

Property managers, board members, and association officers should consult qualified counsel before making decisions with legal or financial consequences. Reliance on Publication content is at the reader's own risk.

Accuracy and limitations

HOA Weekly invests significant effort in citation accuracy and source verification. The Publication does not guarantee that every article is free from error or current with the most recent statutory or regulatory changes. Laws, rules, and judicial interpretations change continuously.

Subscribers and readers are responsible for confirming critical compliance information against primary sources before acting on it. The "Last reviewed" date on each article indicates when the article was most recently checked, not a guarantee of present accuracy.

Disclaimer of warranties

The Publication is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. To the maximum extent permitted by law, HOA Weekly disclaims all warranties, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, and non-infringement.

Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Thastel Group LLC, its members, employees, and contributors are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits, revenue, data, or goodwill, arising from use of the Publication or reliance on its content. The aggregate liability of HOA Weekly to any subscriber for any claim arising from these terms is limited to the amount paid by the subscriber in the twelve months preceding the claim.

Indemnification

Subscribers and users agree to indemnify and hold harmless Thastel Group LLC and HOA Weekly from any claim arising from the user's breach of these terms, misuse of Publication content, or violation of any law or third-party right.

Termination

HOA Weekly may suspend or terminate access to the Publication for any user who violates these terms, without refund. Subscribers may terminate their subscription at any time as described under "Subscriptions and payment."

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Wisconsin, without regard to conflict of laws principles. Any dispute arising from these terms or use of the Publication is resolved in the state or federal courts located in Wisconsin, and users consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts.

Changes to these terms

HOA Weekly may update these terms from time to time. Material changes will be communicated by email to active subscribers and reflected in the "Last updated" date above. Continued use of the Publication after a material change constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
