Terms of Service

Last Updated: May 2026

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of Press Elevate's press release distribution and media coverage services. By purchasing or otherwise using our services, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms in their entirety. Please review them carefully before proceeding.

1. Service Overview

Press Elevate provides professional press release distribution and media coverage services, securing guaranteed placements for your business news and announcements across our extensive network of trusted media outlets. Our services are purpose-built to amplify brand visibility, strengthen public credibility, and ensure your story reaches the audiences and platforms that matter most — including leading financial publications, news agencies, podcast networks, social media channels, and AI-powered information platforms. All placements are guaranteed, not merely submitted or pitched, providing clients with complete assurance of delivery.

2. Service Packages

This package is designed to maximise your brand's reach, authority, and long-term discoverability across every major information channel available today.

  • Written in clear, professional English with appropriate grammar, punctuation, and a tone suitable for editorial publication
  • Free from excessive promotional language, unsubstantiated superlatives, or direct advertising copy that would not meet editorial standards for news content
