Terms of service

Status: draft, written 2026-09-23 (Stage 16). Not in force until the S-08 lawyer's opinion has been read against it and `legal:seed --publish` has been run. The Spanish text (`terms.es.md`) is the binding one; this is a translation for information.

1. What the service does

Notimia collects publicly available news and event information, groups it into stories, and generates items from the facts of those stories for the channels the customer connects. It links to the sources it used and never republishes their text. The copyright policy (`/legal/copyright_policy`) says how, and with what limits.

2. Editorial responsibility

The customer is the natural or legal person who holds editorial responsibility for every item they review and approve before it is published.

This clause is the basis of the exception in article 50(4) of Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 (the AI Act) for content that has undergone human review or editorial control. Without a person who holds that responsibility the exception does not exist, which is why a new version of these terms has to be accepted before the service is used again.

Where the customer has enabled automatic publication, the item is published without human review and carries the disclosure that it was generated with artificial intelligence, as article 50(4) requires. The same applies to every channel in Notimia's own network. The interface says so at the moment automatic mode is switched on.

3. What the customer provides and warrants

The customer is responsible for the sources they add being consultable under those sources' own terms, and for the channels they connect being theirs or theirs to publish to. The service may not be used to produce unlawful content or to circumvent a third party's reservation of rights.

4. Plans, trial and billing

A project starts on a 14-day trial that needs no payment card. Plans are billed per project; users are unlimited on every plan. Prices are in euros, the only currency the service uses.

Language-model usage is metered per project. When the balance runs out the service stops generating new items for that project and says so; collection is not interrupted and nothing is deleted.

5. Data

The privacy policy (`/legal/privacy`) says what is stored, for how long, and who processes it on our behalf. A customer can export and delete their project's data from `/settings/privacy`.

6. Availability and takedown

The service is provided without a guarantee of uninterrupted availability. Anyone may ask for an item to be removed, or for their site not to be collected, at `/legal/takedown`; we answer within 72 hours.

7. Changes

A new version of these terms is published with a version number and acceptance is asked for on the next sign-in. Earlier versions are never edited: they are kept, and the version each customer accepted is recorded with its date.

8. Governing law

Spanish law.
