Terms of Service

Welcome to Morning Edition. By accessing our website, downloading our mobile application, or using our AI-curated intelligence services, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. Please read them carefully.

1. Description of Service

Morning Edition is a software application and online platform that compiles custom news digests and daily intelligence briefings based on user-defined queries and settings. We retrieve web-based resources, summarize key points, and structure articles through artificial intelligence models to serve your informational needs.

2. Subscriptions and Payments

Certain features of Morning Edition require an active subscription:

• Billing: Subscriptions are purchased and managed through the Apple App Store. Payments are subject to Apple’s terms of service and billing cycles.
• Cancellations: You can cancel your subscription at any time via your Apple ID subscription settings. Cancellations take effect at the end of the current billing period.
• Refunds: Since billing is handled through the App Store, refund requests must be submitted to and approved by Apple directly.

3. AI Generation and Content Disclaimers

While we strive to provide accurate, balanced, and valuable intelligence summaries:

As-Is Basis: AI-generated summaries and digests are provided on an "as-is" and "as-available" basis. News summaries are compiled based on third-party sources and automated models.

Accuracy: The synthesis system reads third-party sources dynamically. We cannot guarantee 100% accuracy of the summarized details, nor do we endorse the editorial viewpoints of the source articles. Please consult the original linked references for verifying critical information.

4. User-Provided Prompts

You are solely responsible for the prompts, keywords, and topics you submit to the service. You agree not to submit prompts designed to generate defamatory, abusive, illegal, or infringing material. We reserve the right to block prompts or cancel subscriptions that violate these boundaries.

5. Intellectual Property

The relationship regarding ownership of materials is defined as follows:

• The App & Branding: The Morning Edition code, design, logos, and website layouts are the exclusive property of Morning Edition and are protected by copyright and trademark laws.
• Your Issues: You retain ownership and all rights to your customized magazine configurations and the resulting generated issues for your personal, non-commercial use.

6. Prohibited Activities

You agree not to engage in any of the following activities:

• Reverse engineering, scraping, hacking, or exploiting vulnerabilities in our service or infrastructure.
• Re-selling, distributing, or licensing the output generated by our service for commercial publication without our express written consent.
• Using automated systems or bots to exhaust API limits or disrupt the platform's stability.

7. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Morning Edition and its developers shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages resulting from your use or inability to use the service, including but not limited to reliance on inaccurate news summaries, loss of data, or service downtime.

8. Governing Law

These terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the jurisdiction where the app developers reside, without regard to conflicts of law principles.

9. Changes to Terms

We reserve the right to modify these Terms of Service at any time. When we make updates, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top of the terms. Your continued use of the service after such updates constitutes your acceptance of the new terms.
