AGREEMENT TO OUR LEGAL TERMS
We are Newsology LLC ("Company," "we," "us," "our"), a company registered in California, United States at 2108 N St, #7657, Sacramento, CA 95816.
We operate the website https://www.newsology.app (the "Site"), as well as any other related products and services that refer or link to these legal terms (the "Legal Terms") (collectively, the "Services").
Newsology is a news-reading web app. It gathers articles from news publishers, groups coverage of the same story, rates outlets' political lean, and provides AI-generated analysis of individual articles, claim checks, coverage comparisons and topic summaries. Readers can follow stories and topics and get email briefs. There is a free plan and paid subscription plans (Plus and Pro) with larger allowances, and one-time usage packs.

13. TERM AND TERMINATION
These Legal Terms shall remain in full force and effect while you use the Services. WITHOUT LIMITING ANY OTHER PROVISION OF THESE LEGAL TERMS, WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO, IN OUR SOLE DISCRETION AND WITHOUT NOTICE OR LIABILITY, DENY ACCESS TO AND USE OF THE SERVICES (INCLUDING BLOCKING CERTAIN IP ADDRESSES), TO ANY PERSON FOR ANY REASON OR FOR NO REASON, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION FOR BREACH OF ANY REPRESENTATION, WARRANTY, OR COVENANT CONTAINED IN THESE LEGAL TERMS OR OF ANY APPLICABLE LAW OR REGULATION. WE MAY TERMINATE YOUR USE OR PARTICIPATION IN THE SERVICES OR DELETE YOUR ACCOUNT AND ANY CONTENT OR INFORMATION THAT YOU POSTED AT ANY TIME, WITHOUT WARNING, IN OUR SOLE DISCRETION.
If we terminate or suspend your account for any reason, you are prohibited from registering and creating a new account under your name, a fake or borrowed name, or the name of any third party, even if you may be acting on behalf of the third party. In addition to terminating or suspending your account, we reserve the right to take appropriate legal action, including without limitation pursuing civil, criminal, and injunctive redress.
14. MODIFICATIONS AND INTERRUPTIONS
We reserve the right to change, modify, or remove the contents of the Services at any time or for any reason at our sole discretion without notice.

15. GOVERNING LAW
These Legal Terms and your use of the Services are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California applicable to agreements made and to be entirely performed within the State of California, without regard to its conflict of law principles.
16. DISPUTE RESOLUTION
Informal Negotiations
To expedite resolution and control the cost of any dispute, controversy, or claim related to these Legal Terms (each a "Dispute" and collectively, the "Disputes") brought by either you or us (individually, a "Party" and collectively, the "Parties"), the Parties agree to first attempt to negotiate any Dispute (except those Disputes expressly provided below) informally for at least thirty (30) days before initiating arbitration. Such informal negotiations commence upon written notice from one Party to the other Party.
Binding Arbitration
If the Parties are unable to resolve a Dispute through informal negotiations, the Dispute (except those Disputes expressly excluded below) will be finally and exclusively resolved by binding arbitration. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT WITHOUT THIS PROVISION, YOU WOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A JURY TRIAL. Arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules then in effect, before a single arbitrator, in English, in Sacramento County, California, unless you and we agree otherwise. Either party may instead bring an individual claim in small claims court if it qualifies. Claims may be brought only on an individual basis, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any class, collective or representative proceeding. You and we each waive any right to a jury trial. Despite the section below titled "Exceptions to Informal Negotiations and Arbitration", the only Disputes excluded from informal negotiation and arbitration are Disputes about either Party's intellectual property rights, and our requests to a court for an order to stop scraping or other misuse of the Services. Every other Dispute, including any claim about privacy, data collection or unauthorized use, must be resolved by individual arbitration as set out above. If such costs are determined by the arbitrator to be excessive, we will pay all arbitration fees and expenses. The arbitration may be conducted in person, through the submission of documents, by phone, or online. The arbitrator will make a decision in writing, but need not provide a statement of reasons unless requested by either Party. The arbitrator must follow applicable law, and any award may be challenged if the arbitrator fails to do so. Except where otherwise required by the applicable arbitrator rules or applicable law, the arbitration will take place in Sacramento, California. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Parties may litigate in court to compel arbitration, stay proceedings pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate, or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator.
If for any reason, a Dispute proceeds in court rather than arbitration, the Dispute shall be commenced or prosecuted in the state and federal courts located in Sacramento, California, and the Parties hereby consent to, and waive all defenses of lack of personal jurisdiction, and forum non conveniens with respect to venue and jurisdiction in such state and federal courts. Application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods and the Uniform Computer Information Transaction Act (UCITA) are excluded from these Legal Terms.
In no event shall any Dispute brought by either Party related in any way to the Services be commenced more than one (1) years after the cause of action arose. If this provision is found to be illegal or unenforceable, then neither Party will elect to arbitrate any Dispute falling within that portion of this provision found to be illegal or unenforceable and such Dispute shall be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction within the courts listed for jurisdiction above, and the Parties agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of that court.
Restrictions
The Parties agree that any arbitration shall be limited to the Dispute between the Parties individually. To the full extent permitted by law, (a) no arbitration shall be joined with any other proceeding; (b) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be arbitrated on a class-action basis or to utilize class action procedures; and (c) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf of the general public or any other persons.
Exceptions to Informal Negotiations and Arbitration
The Parties agree that the following Disputes are not subject to the above provisions concerning informal negotiations binding arbitration: (a) any Disputes seeking to enforce or protect, or concerning the validity of, any of the intellectual property rights of a Party; (b) any Dispute related to, or arising from, allegations of theft, piracy, invasion of privacy, or unauthorized use; and (c) any claim for injunctive relief. If this provision is found to be illegal or unenforceable, then neither Party will elect to arbitrate any Dispute falling within that portion of this provision found to be illegal or unenforceable and such Dispute shall be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction within the courts listed for jurisdiction above, and the Parties agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of that court.
17. CORRECTIONS
There may be information on the Services that contains typographical errors, inaccuracies, or omissions, including descriptions, pricing, availability, and various other information. We reserve the right to correct any errors, inaccuracies, or omissions and to change or update the information on the Services at any time, without prior notice.

WE DO NOT WARRANT, ENDORSE, GUARANTEE, OR ASSUME RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY PRODUCT OR SERVICE ADVERTISED OR OFFERED BY A THIRD PARTY THROUGH THE SERVICES, ANY HYPERLINKED WEBSITE, OR ANY WEBSITE OR MOBILE APPLICATION FEATURED IN ANY BANNER OR OTHER ADVERTISING, AND WE WILL NOT BE A PARTY TO OR IN ANY WAY BE RESPONSIBLE FOR MONITORING ANY TRANSACTION BETWEEN YOU AND ANY THIRD-PARTY PROVIDERS OF PRODUCTS OR SERVICES. AS WITH THE PURCHASE OF A PRODUCT OR SERVICE THROUGH ANY MEDIUM OR IN ANY ENVIRONMENT, YOU SHOULD USE YOUR BEST JUDGMENT AND EXERCISE CAUTION WHERE APPROPRIATE.
19. LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY
IN NO EVENT WILL WE OR OUR DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, OR AGENTS BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOST PROFIT, LOST REVENUE, LOSS OF DATA, OR OTHER DAMAGES ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
20. INDEMNIFICATION
You agree to
defend, indemnify, and hold us harmless, including our subsidiaries,
affiliates, and all of our respective officers, agents, partners, and
employees, from and against any loss, damage, liability, claim, or demand, including
reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, made by any third party due to or
arising out of: (1) use of the Services; (2) breach of these Legal Terms; (3) any breach of your representations and warranties set forth in these Legal Terms; (4) your violation of the rights of a third party, including but not limited to intellectual property rights; or (5) any overt harmful act toward any other user of the Services with whom you connected via the Services. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we reserve the right, at your expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter for which you are required to indemnify us, and you agree to cooperate, at your expense, with our defense of such claims. We will use reasonable efforts to notify you of any such claim, action, or proceeding which is subject to this indemnification upon becoming aware of it.
21. USER DATA
We will maintain
certain data that you transmit to the Services for the purpose of managing the
performance of the Services, as well as data relating to your use of the Services. Although we perform regular routine backups
of data, you are solely responsible for all data that you transmit or that

24. MISCELLANEOUS
These Legal Terms and any policies or operating rules posted by us on the Services or in respect to the Services constitute the entire agreement and understanding between you and us. Our failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Legal Terms shall not operate as a waiver of such right or provision. These Legal Terms operate to the fullest extent permissible by law. We may assign any or all of our rights and obligations to others at any time. We shall not be responsible or liable for any loss, damage, delay, or failure to act caused by any cause beyond our reasonable control. If any provision or part of a provision of these Legal Terms is determined to be unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that provision or part of the provision is deemed severable from these Legal Terms and does not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions. There is no joint venture, partnership, employment or agency relationship created between you and us as a result of these Legal Terms or use of the Services. You agree that these Legal Terms will not be construed against us by virtue of having drafted them. You hereby waive any and all defenses you may have based on the electronic form of these Legal Terms and the lack of signing by the parties hereto to execute these Legal Terms.
25. PLANS, BILLING, USAGE PACKS AND FAILED PAYMENTS
Our paid plans (Plus and Pro) are subscriptions, billed monthly or annually as you choose at checkout, and they renew automatically at the end of each period until you cancel. Prices are shown in US dollars before you pay, plus any sales tax. Payments are processed by Stripe, our payment processor, on its own secure checkout and billing pages. You can change or cancel your plan only on that billing page, which you reach from Plans in your profile. An upgrade starts as soon as its payment succeeds. A downgrade, or a switch from annual to monthly billing, takes effect at the end of the period you have already paid for. Where we offer a founding price, it is shown on the billing page and lasts while the same plan stays active; it ends if you change plans, cancel, or your plan moves to the free plan after failed payments. Usage packs are one-time purchases that add to your plan's allowance. Each pack's contents, price and the plan it needs are shown before you buy. A pack lasts 30 days from purchase, and any unused part then lapses. If a renewal payment fails, we try again once a day for 3 days. If it still has not succeeded, your subscription is cancelled and your account moves to the free plan. If you dispute a charge with your bank or card issuer and the dispute is decided in your favor, the plan or pack that charge paid for ends.
26. NO REFUNDS
All payments are final and we do not give refunds, including for renewals, upgrades, unused time, unused allowance or unused pack units. Usage packs are never refundable. When you cancel, you keep your plan until the end of the period you have already paid for. If you delete your account, your plan and any packs end at once and nothing is refunded. The one exception is that if something you paid for could not be given to you, we refund that payment in full. If you live in the European Union or the United Kingdom, at checkout you ask us to start your plan or pack immediately and agree that you lose your 14-day right to withdraw for that purchase and any change you make to your plan; you confirm this with the single tick box at checkout.
27. TRADER DETAILS, NOTICES, COMPLAINTS AND SANCTIONS

28. DELETING AND RESTORING YOUR ACCOUNT
You can delete your account at any time in your profile. Any paid plan and packs end at once, without a refund. For 30 days after you delete it, we can restore your account through the link we email you, or if you write to us from its email address. A restored account always comes back on the free plan, without paid time, packs or a founding price. After 30 days your account cannot be restored.
29. YOUR AGREEMENT AND OUR EMAILS
When you sign up, you agree to these Legal Terms and our Privacy Policy, and we keep a record of that agreement. Each paid purchase also records the payment terms you agreed to at checkout. We send the emails needed to run your account, such as sign-in, billing and service notices, and the email briefs you choose in Email Settings. We send occasional product news only if you ask for it, by ticking the box when you sign up or by turning it on later in Email Settings. The box is never ticked for you, and you can turn product news off at any time in Email Settings or with the unsubscribe link in each email.
30. INFORMATION, NOT ADVICE
Everything Newsology shows you, including AI-generated analysis, Bias Breakdowns, Claim Checks, coverage comparisons, summaries, Social Pulse, and outlet lean ratings and ownership information, is provided for general information only. It is produced by automated systems and by our own assessments of published sources, it can be wrong, incomplete or out of date, and we do not guarantee that it is accurate. It is not financial, investment, legal, medical, political or any other professional advice, and you should not rely on it as such. Check anything that matters to you against the original article and other sources before you act on it. Articles, headlines, images and logos belong to their publishers. We show headlines, short attributed excerpts and links to the original article, and we do not provide the full text. In short: AI can be wrong, so our AI-generated analysis can contain mistakes or leave things out. Lean ratings are our own assessment, made from published sources, and can change. We are not linked to any publisher: Newsology is independent and is not affiliated with, endorsed by or paid by any news publisher whose articles we show.
31. GENERAL TERMS
The sections of these Legal Terms on intellectual property, prohibited activities, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification, dispute resolution (including the time limit to bring a claim), governing law and these general terms continue to apply after your account ends or is suspended, for any reason. Your indemnity under the section titled "Indemnification" also protects Newsology LLC's members, managers and service providers. If any provision of these Legal Terms is found to be unlawful, void or unenforceable, it will be treated as modified to the minimum extent needed to make it valid and enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by law, and the rest of these Legal Terms continue in effect. You may not assign or transfer your rights or obligations under these Legal Terms without our written consent.
32. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL NEWSOLOGY LLC OR ITS MEMBERS, MANAGERS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES OR AGENTS BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOST PROFIT, LOST REVENUE OR LOSS OF DATA, ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ANY CAUSE WHATSOEVER, AND REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF THE ACTION, WILL AT ALL TIMES BE LIMITED TO THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM AND (B) $100. CERTAIN LAWS DO NOT ALLOW THE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION OF CERTAIN DAMAGES. IF THESE LAWS APPLY TO YOU, SOME OR ALL OF THESE LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU, AND YOU MAY HAVE ADDITIONAL RIGHTS. THIS SECTION APPLIES IN PLACE OF THE SECTION TITLED "LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY" ABOVE, WHICH DOES NOT APPLY.
33. OUR RATINGS AND ANALYSIS ARE OPINION
Outlet lean ratings, Bias Breakdowns, Claim Checks, coverage comparisons, summaries and all other analysis on the Services are our opinion and analysis of published reporting, formed by the method we describe on the Services. They are not statements of fact about any publisher, journalist or other person, and they do not say that any publisher or person acted wrongly or in bad faith.
