Terms of Service

1. Operator, service, and these Terms

TheBlueNuke is the trade name of an individual operator based in Denver, Colorado, United States. “We,” “us,” and “our” refer to that operator. These Terms concern news.thebluenuke.com, including the WorldIntel news dashboard and public APIs (the “Service”). The main website and external publishers may have separate notices.

The Service aggregates publisher headlines, links, publication times, and official reports, with filters, source-health information, and related news tools. Features may evolve. Accounts, paid subscriptions, public posting, AI-generated alerts, and Discord delivery are not currently offered through this Service.

These Terms state the conditions on which we offer access. Please read them before using the Service. We will obtain affirmative agreement where required for contractual restrictions to be enforceable; this page does not override your rights under applicable law. Questions may be submitted through the TheBlueNuke contact form.

2. Permitted use and API access

You may browse reports, follow source links, and use public read-only API endpoints for lawful purposes, subject to applicable rights in the material and reasonable technical limits. Do not treat a publicly accessible endpoint as permission to bypass restrictions. Keep automated requests within published or enforced rate limits, respect retry instructions, and avoid excessive load. No availability commitment or publisher-content license is included.

You are responsible for your use and for ensuring you have authority to act for another person or organization. Contact us before using the Service for safety-critical or emergency operations; it is not an emergency alert system.

3. Prohibited conduct and security research

Do not access systems or information without authorization; steal credentials; impersonate others or commit fraud; distribute malware; disrupt the Service; abuse API endpoints; evade rate limits, access controls, or security safeguards; or use the Service unlawfully. Do not extract material in ways that violate applicable law, third-party rights, or enforceable access restrictions.

Good-faith examination of public functionality is not prohibited merely because it is security research. Avoid disruption, accessing other people’s information, and changes to data. Report vulnerabilities privately through our contact form without including credentials or sensitive exploit details. This provision does not authorize access to third-party systems or waive laws that apply to research.

4. Intellectual property and publisher material

The operator retains rights in original TheBlueNuke branding, software, design, and original material to the extent protected by law. Access does not transfer ownership. Statutory exceptions, fair use, and any express open-source or other licenses remain available.

Publishers and other rights holders retain their rights in headlines, reporting, logos, and other third-party material. Attribution and links do not establish permission to republish an article or remove applicable copyright and licensing requirements. We do not claim ownership of third-party journalism. Consult the original publisher’s terms before reusing it.

5. Copyright complaints

Use the TheBlueNuke contact form and begin your message with “Copyright complaint — news.thebluenuke.com.” Identify the protected work, the exact Service URL and material at issue, your authority to act, and a way to contact you. Explain why you believe the use is unauthorized and provide supporting information. We will review complaints and may remove or restrict material where appropriate. Do not submit information you are not entitled to disclose.

This is a general complaint procedure. We do not represent that a DMCA designated agent has been registered or that the Service qualifies for a statutory safe harbor.

6. News, source labels, and accuracy

Reports come from third-party feeds and official agencies and may concern developing, incomplete, disputed, or subsequently corrected events. Automated collection can introduce delays, omissions, duplicates, attribution errors, and other mistakes. A headline is an attributed report, not independent corroboration.

“Official” identifies an originating agency report, not a guarantee that every statement is correct. Source-health labels measure retrieval availability, not truth. Severity, urgency, verification, or confidence indicators, wherever displayed, do not guarantee accuracy or predict outcomes. AI-assisted classification and consolidated event review are prospective capabilities; AI-generated alerts are not currently published. Consult original sources and appropriate authorities before relying on significant developments.

You may report corrections through the contact form with the relevant URL and source evidence. Corrections can change or remove previously displayed information.

7. No individualized professional advice

News and analytical material is general information, not individualized legal, medical, financial, investment, or other professional advice. Seek advice from an appropriately qualified professional for your circumstances. In an emergency, contact the appropriate local emergency service.

8. External websites and services

Links take you to independent publishers and platforms. Their content, availability, terms, and privacy practices are their responsibility. Linking does not imply endorsement. Your interaction with those services is governed by their applicable terms and policies.

9. Availability and enforcement

We may maintain, modify, interrupt, restrict, or discontinue features or access, subject to applicable law. We do not promise uninterrupted operation, a fixed update schedule, permanent storage, or that every source will remain available.

We may proportionately limit or suspend access to address security risks, excessive load, unlawful conduct, or violations of these Terms. Where practical and lawful, we will explain a restriction and consider a request for review through the contact form. Immediate action may be necessary to protect users or systems.

10. Warranties and mandatory rights

To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Service is provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, accuracy, or availability, whether express or implied. We do not guarantee that reports are complete, current, or free from error.

Nothing in these Terms limits a warranty, remedy, or consumer protection that applicable law does not allow us to exclude or restrict.

11. Limits of liability

To the extent permitted by applicable law, the operator is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential losses arising from use of or inability to use the Service, including consequential loss of profits, business opportunities, or data. This exclusion applies only where legally enforceable in your circumstances.

It does not exclude or limit liability for fraud, willful misconduct, gross negligence, death or personal injury caused by negligence where liability cannot be limited, or any other liability or statutory remedy that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited. No monetary cap is imposed by these Terms.

12. Governing law and disputes

Colorado law and applicable United States federal law govern these Terms to the extent permitted by law, without applying conflict-of-law rules that would displace that choice. Mandatory protections of the law applicable to you remain unaffected. No exclusive court or venue is designated. These Terms contain no arbitration requirement, class-action waiver, or mandatory private dispute-resolution process. You may contact us to seek an informal resolution voluntarily.

13. Changes and general provisions

We will date revisions and announce material changes prominently on the dashboard before they take effect where practical, or as otherwise required by law. Where a change requires affirmative agreement, we will obtain it; merely posting revisions or continued browsing will not substitute for legally required agreement. Changes do not retroactively remove accrued rights.

If a provision is unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue to the extent permitted by law. A delay in enforcing a right does not itself waive it. The Privacy Policy explains processing of personal information and does not grant an unrestricted license to use it.

14. Contact

For privacy, access or deletion requests, copyright complaints, corrections, or general legal inquiries, use the TheBlueNuke contact form. Begin with the request type and “news.thebluenuke.com,” include relevant URLs, and provide an email if you want a reply. Do not send passwords, identity documents, payment details, or other sensitive information in your initial message.
