Terms of Service

1. Service Description

Stork News is an AI-powered intelligence briefing service. We monitor publicly available content from sources you select — including X (Twitter), RSS feeds, Substack newsletters, Reddit, and YouTube channels (via RSS) — generate concise summaries using artificial intelligence, and deliver them to you on your schedule via email, Telegram, audio, or webhook. The service is provided on an "as-is" basis. Summary accuracy depends on the quality and availability of source content and AI processing.

2. Account Responsibilities

You must provide accurate and complete information when creating your account. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your password and for all activity that occurs under your account. You must notify us immediately through the feedback page at stork.news/feedback if you suspect unauthorized access. You must be at least 16 years old to use Stork News.

3. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

• Scrape, crawl, or systematically extract data from the Stork News platform.
• Redistribute, resell, or sublicense your intelligence briefs for commercial purposes without written permission.
• Abuse the API or attempt to circumvent rate limits or usage restrictions.
• Use the service to harass, defame, or violate the rights of any third party.
• Attempt to reverse-engineer, decompile, or disassemble any part of the platform.
• Create multiple accounts to circumvent plan limitations or trial restrictions.

4. Subscription and Payments

Stork News offers two paid tiers: Pro ($19/month) and Max ($39/month). New Pro subscriptions begin with a 7-day free trial; we collect your payment details up front and, unless you cancel before the trial ends, the subscription automatically converts to paid Pro at $19/month on the eighth day. Max is billed immediately with no trial. All payments are processed securely through Stripe. Paid subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each billing cycle. You may cancel at any time from your account settings — cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period. No partial refunds are issued for unused time. We reserve the right to change pricing with 30 days' notice.

5. Intellectual Property

The intelligence briefs generated for you are derived from publicly available content processed through AI. You own the output delivered to you and may use it for personal or internal business purposes. Stork News owns all rights to the platform, including its software, design, algorithms, and branding. The Stork News name, logo, and brand mark are trademarks of Stork News. You may not use our trademarks without prior written consent.

6. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Stork News and its affiliates, officers, and employees shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including loss of profits, data, or business opportunities, arising from your use of the service. Our total liability for any claim related to the service is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months preceding the claim. The service may experience downtime, and we do not guarantee uninterrupted availability.

7. Termination

Either party may terminate this agreement at any time. You can delete your account from your settings page. We may suspend or terminate your account if you violate these terms, with or without notice depending on severity. Upon termination, your data will be permanently deleted within 30 days. Data that has already been included in delivered briefs cannot be recalled.

8. Changes to Terms

We may modify these terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will notify you via email at least 30 days before the changes take effect. Your continued use of Stork News after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the updated terms. If you do not agree with the changes, you may close your account before they take effect.

9. Governing Law

These terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas, United States, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. Any disputes arising from these terms or your use of the service shall be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Austin, Texas.
