NewsMaker terms of service
Version 2026-11-15-draft-3
Draft — pending legal review. This text will be replaced, and you will be asked to accept the final version.
1. About NewsMaker
NewsMaker is provided by Phoenix Innovations. It is a new product and still developing: features may change, pause or be removed, and things may not always work as expected.
2. You are the publisher
You decide what to publish, and you are responsible for it. NewsMaker helps you find, write and produce news, but AI can make mistakes. Check every script, name, number and visual before you approve it. Nothing is produced until you approve it.
3. Sources and copyright
Use only sources you are allowed to use, and credit them. Do not use NewsMaker to copy other publishers' articles, photos or videos. Upload only material you own or have permission to use.
4. What you must not do
Do not use NewsMaker to:
- publish false or misleading news;
- defame anyone;
- impersonate a real person, or show someone without their permission;
- harass people;
- break election, court or broadcasting rules;
- create anything unlawful where you publish it.
5. AI labels
Videos with an AI presenter, cloned voice or AI-generated visuals carry a label. Do not remove it. Follow the AI-disclosure rules of every platform and country where you publish.
6. Credits
Work in NewsMaker is paid for with credits. A new account is given credits to start with. Credits held for a job that fails are returned automatically. Credits have no cash value.
7. Your content and data
You keep the rights to your content. You allow NewsMaker to process it only to provide the service to you. See the privacy notice for how faces, voices and other data are handled.
8. Suspension
We may suspend or end access if these terms are broken, or to protect people, the service or the law.
9. Liability
To the extent the law allows, NewsMaker is provided "as is", and Phoenix Innovations is not liable for losses arising from its use or from content you publish.
10. Changes
We may update these terms. When we do, we will ask you to accept the new version before you continue.
