1. Acceptance of Terms
These Terms and Conditions govern your use of EthiQuill’s AI-assisted news services, which operate in English only.
By signing in with your Google Account, you confirm you have authority to enter into these Terms for yourself or for the learner you support.
2. Our service and AI guidance
EthiQuill provides AI-driven ratings, summaries, and educational insights for news articles without storing personal information about you.
AI outputs may evolve over time and are paired with anonymized usage tracking so we can improve recommendations while keeping your identity private.
- AI ratings highlight credibility, reading level, and suitability for audiences aged nine and older.
- We supplement AI insights with editorial review and pseudonymous activity signals to reduce bias and keep materials age appropriate.
- We may adjust or remove content when our safety checks or anonymized tracking flag material as unsuitable for younger readers.
3. User commitments
When using EthiQuill, you agree to uphold safe and respectful behavior while using your Google Account for authentication.
- Ensure you are at least nine years old or supported by a parent, guardian, or educator who can supervise your use.
- Maintain control of your Google credentials and keep your security settings up to date.
- Use the service for lawful, educational, and non-commercial purposes.
Educators and guardians remain responsible for supervising younger learners, managing Google permissions, and interpreting AI guidance.
4. Content guidance and limitations
AI-generated ratings and explanations are advisory, based on anonymized usage patterns, and may not capture the full context of an article.
Always consult multiple sources before making decisions based on the news content you encounter.
5. Account security
You are responsible for safeguarding your Google login credentials and any devices used to access EthiQuill.
Notify us and update your Google security settings immediately if you suspect unauthorized access or misuse of your account.
6. Disclaimers and liability
The service is provided “as is” and we do not guarantee uninterrupted availability, error-free AI outputs, or continuity of anonymized personalization signals.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, EthiQuill is not liable for indirect or consequential damages arising from reliance on AI ratings or Google authentication services.
7. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms periodically; material changes will be posted with a revised effective date. Continued use after updates constitutes acceptance.
