Terms & Conditions

Last updated

These terms apply to your use of Truncated, including the website truncated.ai, its RSS feeds and the Truncated email (together, the "Service"). By using the Service you agree to them.

Who we are

The Service is published by Three Things Media ("we", "us"). Contact: support@truncated.ai. The Impressum names the provider.

What Truncated is

Truncated is an automated news service about artificial intelligence. It shows each story as the original publisher's headline, a two-sentence summary and a link to the original article, with occasional notes from the editor. Stories are found and summarised automatically, with the help of AI, and published without prior human review.

Free to read

Reading Truncated, its RSS feeds and the email is free and needs no account. We may change, pause or stop any part of the Service at any time.

Accuracy

We work to make summaries accurate, but automated and AI-assisted summaries can contain errors, leave out context or become outdated. The original article is always the authoritative source; follow the link and check it before you rely on anything. Nothing on Truncated is legal, financial, investment or other professional advice. See the Disclaimer.

Intellectual property

  • Ours. The summaries, editor's notes, selection and arrangement of stories, the Truncated name, logo and design are ours or licensed to us. Truncated™ is a trademark of Three Things Media.
  • Publishers'. Headlines, articles, images and logos belong to their publishers and rights holders. We show headlines and preview images to identify and link to the original reporting.
  • Your use. You may read, share links to and quote short parts of Truncated with attribution and a link. You may use our RSS feeds in a feed reader for personal use. Republishing our summaries in bulk, running a competing service on our content, or using it to train AI models requires our written permission.

Acceptable use

Do not use the Service unlawfully, interfere with its operation or security, try to get around access restrictions, overload it with automated requests beyond normal feed polling, or misrepresent your connection with us.

Advertising and listings

Sponsor placements and listings are clearly labelled as advertising ("Sponsored", "Paid listing"). They are bought by third parties and are not endorsements. Bookings are governed by our insertion order and the booking confirmation, which take precedence over these terms for advertisers.

The Service links to websites we do not control. We are not responsible for their content, availability or privacy practices.

Liability

We are liable without limitation for damage caused intentionally or through gross negligence, for injury to life, body or health, and as required by the German Product Liability Act. For slight negligence we are liable only for breach of an essential obligation (one whose fulfilment makes proper use of the Service possible and on which you may regularly rely), limited to the damage typically foreseeable. Otherwise our liability is excluded. This also applies to our representatives and agents.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms. The current version is always on this page with its date. If you are subscribed to the email and a change materially affects you, we will tell you by email.

Law and disputes

German law applies, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. If you are a consumer, this choice of law does not take away the protection of mandatory provisions of the law of the country where you live. Please contact us first so we can try to resolve any issue. We are neither obliged nor willing to take part in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board.

Severability

If any provision of these terms is invalid, the rest remain in effect.
