Terms of Use

These Terms of Use (the "Terms") govern your access to and use of the Alpha News website and mobile application (together, the "Services"). By accessing or using the Services, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Services.

1. The Alpha News Service

Alpha News provides news summaries, reading tools, source discovery, personalization features, and related product functionality. Features may vary between the web and mobile versions and may change over time. We may add, modify, suspend, or discontinue features when reasonably necessary to operate or improve the Services.

2. Accounts

Some features require an account. You agree to provide accurate information, keep your sign-in methods secure, and promptly notify us of unauthorized access. You are responsible for activity performed through your account unless that activity resulted from our failure to use reasonable security measures.

You must be legally able to enter into these Terms. The Services are not directed to children under 13.

3. Acceptable Use

You may use the Services for your own lawful purposes consistent with these Terms. You must not:

• break or circumvent security controls, access restricted areas, or probe the Services for vulnerabilities;
• scrape, crawl, copy, reproduce, redistribute, or resell substantial portions of the Services without permission;
• use the Services to send spam, distribute malware, infringe rights, mislead others, resell the Services, or commercially exploit them without permission; or
• interfere with the availability, integrity, or normal operation of the Services.

4. Content and Intellectual Property

The Services, including their software, design, trademarks, branding, and original content, are owned by Alpha News or its licensors and are protected by applicable intellectual property laws. These Terms grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable right to access and use the Services for their intended purpose.

News articles, posts, images, and other materials from third parties remain the property of their respective owners. The Services may link to or display third-party content, but Alpha News does not claim ownership of that content.

5. News and AI-Generated Content

News summaries and other content presented through the Services may be generated, organized, or assisted by automated systems, including artificial intelligence. Content is provided for general informational purposes and may be incomplete, delayed, inaccurate, or changed without notice. You should verify important information with primary sources.

The Services are not financial, legal, medical, tax, or other professional advice. Do not make investment or other important decisions based solely on content provided by Alpha News.

6. Third-Party Services

The Services may depend on or link to third-party services, platforms, and content. Third-party terms and privacy policies may apply to your use of those services. Alpha News is not responsible for third-party services that it does not control.

7. Availability and Changes

We work to keep the Services available and useful, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted, secure, or error-free operation. We may perform maintenance, limit access, or change the Services without liability for resulting interruption where permitted by law.

8. Suspension and Termination

You may stop using the Services at any time and may request account deletion through available account controls or by contacting us. We may suspend or terminate access if you materially breach these Terms, create risk for users or the Services, or where needed to comply with law. Sections that by their nature should survive termination, including intellectual property, disclaimers, limitations of liability, and dispute-related provisions, will continue to apply.

9. Disclaimers

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Services and all content are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis, without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory. Alpha News disclaims warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, accuracy, and availability.

10. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Alpha News and its service providers will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for loss of data, profits, revenue, goodwill, or business, arising from or related to your use of the Services. Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot legally be limited.

11. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms as the Services or applicable requirements change. We will post the updated version here and revise the Effective Date. Your continued use of the Services after an update means you accept the revised Terms, to the extent permitted by law.
