These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the World News Today website, applications, and related services (collectively, the "Service"), operated by World News Today ("we", "us", "our").

By accessing or using the Service, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

We reserve the right to update these Terms at any time. Continued use of the Service after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

2. What the Service Is

World News Today is an aggregated news discovery and summarisation service. We gather information from publicly available news sources, organise and rank it, and provide structured summaries and briefings to help users stay informed.

The Service includes:

  • A web-based daily news briefing with ranked top headlines
  • Topic deep dives across major global categories
  • Historical archive access (for paid subscribers)
  • A daily email digest (for registered users)
  • User account management and personalisation settings
Content on this Service is for general information purposes only. It does not constitute legal, financial, medical, investment, or professional advice of any kind. Do not rely on it as your sole source for decisions of consequence.

We do not guarantee the completeness, accuracy, timeliness, or continuous availability of the Service. Headlines, summaries, rankings, and categories may change at any time without notice.

We reserve the right to verify account details and to refuse registration at our discretion. You may not create accounts on behalf of others without their consent.

4. Subscription and Billing

We offer free and paid subscription tiers. Paid plans ("Plus" and "Family") unlock additional features including archive access, personalisation controls, and expanded content limits.

  • Billing: Paid subscriptions are billed on a recurring basis (monthly or annually, as applicable) through our payment processor. By subscribing, you authorise us to charge your payment method automatically at each renewal period.
  • Renewals: Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled before the renewal date.
  • Cancellations: You may cancel your subscription at any time through your account settings or by contacting us. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period. You retain access until then.
  • Refunds: [Refund policy to be confirmed by the website owner. We recommend specifying whether refunds are available within a set number of days after billing.]
  • Price changes: We reserve the right to change subscription pricing. We will provide reasonable notice before any price change takes effect for existing subscribers.

We may take action — including suspension or termination — if we determine that you have violated these rules.

6. Third-Party Content and Source Rights

World News Today aggregates information from third-party news sources, publishers, and other publicly available materials. All original articles, logos, names, trademarks, and intellectual property rights in third-party content remain the exclusive property of their respective owners.

We provide links, references, structured summaries, and organised discovery. We do not transfer ownership of third-party content. Accessing or viewing a summary on our Service does not grant you any rights in the underlying source material.

Summaries and rankings may be generated algorithmically, including through AI-assisted processing. We make no representation that they are a complete or verbatim reproduction of any source. Users should visit the original source links for full and accurate reporting.

If you are a rights holder and believe your content has been used in a manner that infringes your rights, please contact us at worldnewstoday77@gmail.com.

  • Warranties that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or free from viruses
  • Warranties as to the accuracy, completeness, reliability, or currency of any content

We make no guarantee that any specific news story, summary, ranking, or deep dive will be available at any given time. We reserve the right to modify, remove, or discontinue any feature or content at any time without notice.
