Absolutely. Since we already drafted the Terms of Use, I’d tighten and elevate them so they read like a premium media platform’s legal framework, rather than generic website terms.

The Exchange is committed to meaningful, thoughtful and substantive conversations.
However, the opinions expressed by guests belong to the individuals expressing them.
A person's appearance on The Exchange does not necessarily mean that The Exchange endorses every statement, opinion, claim or position expressed during the conversation.
Our interviews may involve disagreement, challenge and competing perspectives. This is part of the purpose of the platform.
Our role is to facilitate the conversation—not manufacture agreement.
We make reasonable efforts to ensure that information published on the platform is accurate and appropriately presented.
However, we cannot guarantee that every piece of information will always be:
Complete;
Current;
Error-free; or
Suitable for every purpose.
Information, particularly relating to politics, economics, business and current affairs, can change rapidly.
You should exercise appropriate judgement before relying on information published on The Exchange.
Nothing on the platform constitutes professional legal, financial, investment, medical or other specialised advice.
Our editorial decisions are guided by relevance, public interest, editorial judgement and the value a conversation provides to our audience.
Commercial relationships, sponsorships or partnerships do not automatically determine our editorial positions.
Where content is sponsored, commercially supported or otherwise subject to a commercial relationship, we will seek to identify it appropriately.
We want our conversations to travel.

Submitting a recommendation does not guarantee that:
The person will be contacted;
The person will be invited;
An interview will take place; or
The recommendation will be published.
Guest selection remains an editorial decision based on factors including relevance, public interest, availability and suitability.
