WBN News Corp: Terms & Conditions

We work to keep our Platforms accessible and operational at all times, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted availability. Planned maintenance, infrastructure updates, technical failures, or events outside our reasonable control may affect access. WBN reserves the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any Platform or feature at any time, with or without advance notice where operationally necessary. We will provide advance notice of significant changes wherever reasonably practicable.

Our Platforms are accessible globally, but certain features, content, or services may not be available in all jurisdictions due to legal, regulatory, or operational reasons. It is your responsibility to ensure that your use of our Platforms complies with the laws of the jurisdiction in which you are located.

WBN reserves the right to suspend or permanently terminate your access to any or all Platforms if we determine, in our reasonable judgment, that you have violated these Terms, engaged in conduct harmful to WBN, other users, or third parties, or if we are required to do so by applicable law. Where possible, we will provide notice prior to termination. Provisions of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination — including intellectual property, disclaimers, and liability limitations — will do so.

Paid subscriptions are billed on the cycle stated at the time of purchase — monthly, annually, or otherwise. Unless you cancel before the renewal date, your subscription will automatically renew at the then-current rate. We will provide advance notice of any price changes before they take effect on your account, giving you the opportunity to cancel if you do not wish to continue at the new rate.

Payments are processed by our third-party payment providers. WBN does not store your payment card details. By subscribing, you authorize your chosen payment method to be charged on the billing cycle you select. You are responsible for ensuring your payment details remain valid and for any fees your financial institution may charge in connection with payments to WBN.

You may cancel a subscription at any time through your account settings or by contacting us at legal@wbnn.news. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period. We do not provide partial refunds for unused portions of a billing period unless required by applicable consumer protection law in your jurisdiction.

Outside of cancellations governed by applicable consumer protection laws, WBN's general policy is that subscription fees are non-refundable. If you believe you have been billed in error, contact us promptly and we will investigate. Where a billing error is confirmed, we will make it right.

Where WBN offers a free trial of a paid subscription, the trial period and its conditions will be stated clearly at sign-up. At the end of the trial, your subscription will convert to a paid subscription at the stated rate unless you cancel before the trial expires.

You keep ownership of the content you create and submit. WBN does not claim ownership of your original work. However, by submitting content to our Platforms, you grant WBN a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive licence to use, reproduce, publish, distribute, adapt, and display that content in connection with the operation of our Platforms and services, including for promotional purposes. This licence ends when you remove your content from our Platforms, except where content has already been distributed or archived.

You are solely responsible for any content you submit and for ensuring that it does not violate the rights of any third party — including intellectual property rights, privacy rights, and rights of personality — and that it does not breach any applicable law. You represent and warrant that you hold all necessary rights to submit the content and to grant the licence described above.

Content you submit must not:

• Be defamatory, fraudulent, misleading, or deceptive
• Infringe the intellectual property, privacy, or other rights of any person
• Contain malware, spam, or unauthorized advertising
• Violate any applicable law or regulation
• Harass, threaten, or harm any individual or group

WBN reserves the right to review, edit, decline to publish, or remove any submitted content at its discretion, without prior notice and without liability. This right applies to all content channels and does not constitute an obligation to review content before publication.

AI-generated and AI-assisted content on our Platforms is produced using systems that, while designed and governed with care, can produce outputs that are incomplete, inaccurate, or contextually limited. WBN's AI outputs — including summaries, signals, intelligence reports, and generated text — are provided for informational purposes and should be assessed critically. They do not constitute professional advice of any kind, including legal, financial, investment, medical, or regulatory advice.

Business intelligence, market signals, and analytics produced by WBN's AI tools are intended to support informed decision-making, not to replace it. WBN accepts no liability for decisions made in reliance on AI-generated outputs. You are responsible for independently verifying information before acting on it in any professional or commercial capacity.

• Using WBN AI tools to generate content intended to deceive, defame, or manipulate
• Attempting to probe, reverse-engineer, or extract proprietary logic from WBN's AI systems
• Using AI-generated outputs from WBN Platforms to train competing AI models without a written licence
• Misrepresenting AI-generated content as independently authored human journalism

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless WBN News Corp Inc.™ and its affiliates, directors, officers, employees, and contractors from and against any claims, damages, losses, costs, and expenses — including reasonable legal fees — arising out of or relating to your use of our Platforms in violation of these Terms, content you submit, or your violation of any applicable law or third-party rights.

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein, without regard to conflicts of law principles that would require the application of any other jurisdiction's laws.

Before initiating any formal dispute process, we ask that you contact us directly at legal@wbnn.news and give us a genuine opportunity to understand and address your concern. Most issues can be resolved quickly and without formal proceedings. We commit to responding to good-faith disputes in a timely and constructive manner.

Where a dispute cannot be resolved informally, you agree that the courts of the Province of Ontario, Canada, shall have exclusive jurisdiction over any claim arising out of or relating to these Terms or your use of our Platforms — subject to any mandatory local jurisdiction rights you may hold under the consumer protection laws of your jurisdiction that cannot be contractually displaced.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, disputes must be brought on an individual basis. You and WBN each waive any right to bring claims as a plaintiff or class member in any class action, collective action, or representative proceeding. This waiver does not apply where prohibited by law.

WBN reserves the right to modify these Terms at any time to reflect changes in our Platforms, our business practices, or applicable law. When we make material changes — those that meaningfully affect your rights or obligations — we will provide notice through our Platforms, by email to registered users, or by another appropriate channel, and we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this document.

Your continued use of our Platforms after the effective date of revised Terms constitutes your acceptance of those changes. If you do not agree with an update, you should stop using our Platforms and, if applicable, cancel your subscription before the changes take effect. Archived versions of these Terms are available on request.

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and any product-specific agreements applicable to services you use, constitute the entire agreement between you and WBN concerning your use of our Platforms. They supersede all prior agreements, representations, and understandings relating to the same subject matter. If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.
