Terms of Service

You must be at least 13 years old to use Gobbles. If you're in the European Economic Area, the UK, or another jurisdiction requiring a higher minimum age for data-processing consent, you must meet that local minimum (typically 16). By using the Service you represent that you're old enough and that you have the legal capacity to agree to these Terms.

You can browse Gobbles without an account. To create or follow channels or receive email digests, you sign up with an email and password. You're responsible for keeping your credentials secure and for all activity under your account. Tell us at hello@gobbles.news right away if you think your account has been compromised.

One account per person. Don't impersonate anyone, register on someone else's behalf without their permission, or use automated means to create accounts.

Every briefing on Gobbles is generated by AI without human editorial review before publication. AI models can and do make mistakes. That includes but is not limited to:

• Fabricating quotes, names, dates, dollar amounts, or events
• Misattributing statements or actions to real people or organizations
• Misinterpreting source material or omitting critical context
• Publishing outdated information as if it were current

You must verify anything important before acting on it. Always check the linked source — the source is the authoritative record, not our summary of it.

Gobbles briefings are for information and entertainment only. They are not professional advice and are not a substitute for financial, medical, legal, tax, engineering, or other expert guidance. Channels may cover sensitive topics (health, investing, safety, law). If you rely on a Gobbles briefing to make decisions in those areas without independent verification and qualified professional advice, you do so at your own risk.

When you create a channel, submit feedback, or otherwise provide text to the Service (collectively, "User Content"), you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, use, display, and process that content for the purpose of operating, improving, and promoting the Service. You retain ownership of your User Content.

You represent that you have the right to share any User Content you submit, and that it doesn't violate anyone's rights or applicable law.

You agree not to:

• Scrape, crawl, or otherwise extract Service content at scale without prior written permission
• Attempt to access accounts, systems, or data that don't belong to you
• Interfere with, overload, or probe the Service for vulnerabilities
• Submit content that is unlawful, defamatory, harassing, hateful, or infringes anyone's intellectual property or privacy
• Use the Service to generate spam, phishing content, disinformation, or impersonation
• Reverse engineer or copy the Service's code except as expressly permitted by law
• Use the Service to train another AI model without written permission

We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these rules, at our discretion.

Gobbles's name, logo, site design, software, and underlying technology are owned by BerryVue Studios LLC or its licensors. The curated briefings we publish are generated from publicly-available source material; copyright in the original source content remains with the original publishers and we include linked attribution accordingly.

We do not claim ownership of the sources we reference. We do claim ownership of the editorial framing, commentary, and organization we add around them — which is itself AI-generated on our behalf.

If you believe content on Gobbles infringes your copyright, email hello@gobbles.news with:

• Your contact information
• A description of the copyrighted work
• The URL on Gobbles where the allegedly infringing content appears
• A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the complaint is accurate and you are authorized to act

We respond to valid notices promptly.

Gobbles is provided "as is" and "as available." We don't promise uptime, uninterrupted access, or that every feature will work at every moment. We may add, change, pause, or remove features at any time. We may also update these Terms; if we do, we'll post the new effective date at the top of this page and — for material changes — email account holders in advance where practicable. Continued use after an update constitutes acceptance.

You can delete your account at any time from the account settings page. A 7-day cooldown window lets you reverse the deletion by signing back in. After the window, your account and most associated data are permanently removed. See our Privacy Policy for details on what we retain and why.

We may suspend or terminate your account if we reasonably believe you've violated these Terms, or if we're required to by law.

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, OR ACCURACY. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT AI-GENERATED CONTENT IS ACCURATE, COMPLETE, CURRENT, OR SUITABLE FOR ANY PURPOSE.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, BERRYVUE STUDIOS LLC AND ITS PRINCIPALS, EMPLOYEES, AND AFFILIATES WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, OR GOODWILL, ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE — EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

TO THE EXTENT ANY LIABILITY IS NOT EXCLUDABLE, OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATED TO THE SERVICE IS LIMITED TO THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID US IN THE TWELVE MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM AROSE OR (B) US $100.

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless BerryVue Studios LLC and its principals from and against any claims, damages, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or related to your use of the Service, your User Content, or your violation of these Terms or any third-party right.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Maryland, United States, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. Subject to the binding-arbitration agreement in Section 14, any claim not subject to arbitration will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Maryland, and you consent to personal jurisdiction there.

Please read this section carefully. It affects your legal rights, including your right to file a lawsuit in court.

Agreement to arbitrate. You and BerryVue Studios LLC agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service (a "Dispute") will be resolved through final and binding individual arbitration, rather than in court, except that (a) you may assert claims in small-claims court if your claims qualify and the matter remains on an individual (non-class) basis; and (b) either party may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in court for infringement or misuse of intellectual property.

Informal dispute resolution first. Before starting arbitration, you agree to try in good faith to resolve the Dispute informally by emailing a written notice describing the Dispute to hello@gobbles.news. If we can't resolve it within 60 days, either party may start arbitration.

Arbitration procedure. Arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, available at adr.org. The arbitration will take place in Maryland or, at your election, by telephone/video or at a location convenient to you. The arbitrator's decision will be final and enforceable in any court of competent jurisdiction. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this provision.

Class-action and jury-trial waiver. You and BerryVue Studios LLC each waive any right to a jury trial and any right to bring or participate in a class action, class arbitration, or other representative proceeding. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims and may not preside over any class or representative proceeding. If this waiver is found unenforceable, then the entirety of this Section 14 will be void, and the dispute will proceed in court under Section 13.

30-day opt-out. You can opt out of this arbitration agreement by emailing hello@gobbles.news with the subject line "Arbitration Opt-Out" within 30 days of first accepting these Terms (or within 30 days of a material change to this Section 14). Include your name and the email address on your account. Opting out doesn't affect any other part of these Terms.

These Terms are the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Service. If any part of these Terms is held unenforceable, the rest remains in force. Our failure to enforce any right isn't a waiver of that right. You may not assign these Terms without our written permission; we may assign them freely.
