Terms of Service

Effective Date: 2026-06-28 Last Updated: 2026-06-17

Welcome to Newseeze. These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the Newseeze Chrome extension, web dashboard, and related services (collectively, the "Service") provided by Newseeze, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Newseeze," "we," "us," or "our").

By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to these Terms and the terms of our Privacy Policy (available at https://www.newseeze.com/privacy), which explains how information is collected, used and shared. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

1. What Newseeze Does

Newseeze is a pay-per-article reading service. You fund a prepaid wallet, and when you choose to unlock an article from a paywalled publisher site, we deduct a per-article fee from your wallet and help you access the article.

Newseeze is not a subscription service. We do not automatically renew or auto-charge beyond your explicit top-ups.

The browser extension may require access to certain webpages in order to identify participating publisher content and facilitate article unlock functionality.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction) to use the Service. By using the Service, you represent that you meet this requirement.

3. Your Account

To use the Service you must create an account. Authentication is provided by Clerk, Inc. You are responsible for:

We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms, are suspected of fraud, or appear to be operated by automated means without authorization.

3.1 Account and Data Storage

Newseeze intentionally minimizes the amount of personal information it stores directly.

Account authentication is provided by Clerk, Inc., which manages login credentials, email addresses, and authentication-related metadata.

Payment processing is provided by Stripe, Inc. through hosted payment infrastructure. Newseeze does not receive or store full payment card numbers, card security codes, or other sensitive payment credentials.

Newseeze maintains only the operational records necessary to provide the Service, including internal user identifiers, wallet balances, transaction history, purchase records, and publisher-related metadata.

Additional information about our data practices is described in our Privacy Policy (available at https://www.newseeze.com/privacy).

4. Wallet and Payments

4.1 Top-ups

You may fund your Newseeze wallet by adding credits in fixed amounts ($5, $10, $20, or other denominations we offer). Payments are processed by Stripe, Inc. through hosted payment interfaces. Newseeze does not receive or store full payment card numbers, card security codes, or other sensitive payment credentials.

4.2 Per-article fees

When you choose to unlock an article, we display the per-article price before purchase. By clicking the unlock button you authorize us to deduct the displayed amount from your wallet.

4.3 No refunds

Wallet credits are non-refundable once added, except where required by applicable law. Per-article purchases are final once the article is unlocked. If a technical error prevents article access, contact us and we will investigate and, at our sole discretion, restore the credits.

4.4 Inactive wallets

If your wallet is inactive for an extended period, we may suspend or close the account and handle the remaining balance in accordance with applicable unclaimed-property and escheatment laws, which may require us to remit the balance to the appropriate state authority.

4.5 Publisher revenue share

We remit a share of each per-article fee to the originating publisher under commercial agreements. You acknowledge that your payment funds both Newseeze operations and publisher royalties.

5. Acceptable Use

You agree NOT to:

Violation of this section may result in immediate suspension and withholding of wallet balance pending investigation. Newseeze reserves the right to offset any documented costs or damages arising from such violation against the wallet balance, with any remaining balance returned to you.

6. Publisher Content

Articles you unlock through Newseeze are licensed to you for personal, non-commercial reading only. Copyright in all articles remains with the respective publisher. Your Newseeze access does not grant you any license to republish, distribute, or create derivative works.

Newseeze has no control over publisher content and does not endorse or verify the accuracy of any article. Disputes about article content should be directed to the originating publisher.

7. Service Availability

We aim for high availability but do not guarantee uninterrupted service. We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service at any time, with or without notice. We are not liable for any loss resulting from Service interruption. If we permanently discontinue the Service, we will make reasonable efforts to refund any remaining wallet balances.

8. Intellectual Property

The Newseeze name, logo, extension, and associated materials are owned by Newseeze, Inc. These Terms do not grant you any right to use our marks except as incidental to using the Service as intended.

9. Third-Party Services

The Service relies on third-party providers to operate certain functionality:

Newseeze selects service providers that support our data-minimization approach. While these providers may process information on our behalf, they are contractually limited to providing their respective services.

We may also interact with publisher websites and publisher APIs to facilitate article unlocks. Publisher participation in Newseeze does not grant Publishers access to individual reader profiles, reading histories, or personal account information except where required by law or reasonably necessary to resolve payment disputes.

Your use of the Service may also involve interactions with third-party publisher websites and services. Your use of those services is subject to their respective terms. We are not responsible for the availability, content, or practices of third-party services except as required by law and as described in our Privacy Policy (available at https://www.newseeze.com/privacy).

10. Disclaimers

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT. We do not warrant that the Service will be error-free, secure, or uninterrupted, or that article content will be accurate. While we implement reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards, no online service can guarantee absolute security.

11. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, NEWSEEZE AND ITS OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS ARE NOT LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE. Our total aggregate liability shall not exceed the greater of (a) the amount you paid to Newseeze in the 12 months preceding the claim, or (b) $100 USD. Nothing in this section limits your indemnification obligations under Section 12.

12. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Newseeze and its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, and agents from any claim, damage, loss, or expense (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of your violation of these Terms, your misuse of the Service, or your infringement of any third-party right.

13. Termination

You may close your account at any time from the dashboard. We may terminate or suspend your account at any time for violation of these Terms or for any other reason upon thirty (30) days' notice. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including 4.3, 4.4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 11, 12, 15) will survive.

14. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. If changes are material, we will notify you by email or an in-product notice at least seven (7) days before the changes take effect. Continued use after the effective date of the updated Terms constitutes acceptance.

15. Governing Law and Disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. Any dispute shall be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Delaware, and you consent to personal jurisdiction there.

15.1 Binding Individual Arbitration; 30-Day Opt-Out

Please read this Section 15.1 carefully. Except for disputes that qualify for small claims court as described below, you and Newseeze agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms, the Service, or the relationship between you and Newseeze, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, shall be resolved by final and binding individual arbitration.

Arbitration shall be administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under its Consumer Arbitration Rules then in effect, as modified by these Terms. The AAA Rules and information about arbitration are available at www.adr.org. If the AAA is unavailable or unwilling to administer the arbitration consistent with this Section 15.1, the parties shall confer in good faith to select an alternative administrator. If they cannot agree, a court of competent jurisdiction shall appoint an administrator that will enforce this Section 15.1 as written to the maximum extent permitted by law.

You and Newseeze agree that arbitration will be conducted only on an individual basis and not as a class, collective, consolidated, coordinated, mass, or representative action. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, neither you nor Newseeze may seek to join, coordinate, consolidate, or combine claims by or on behalf of multiple persons in arbitration, and the arbitrator shall have no authority to hear or arbitrate any class, collective, coordinated, consolidated, mass, or representative proceeding or to award relief to anyone other than the individual party in arbitration. For the avoidance of doubt, this prohibition is intended to prevent mass arbitration, mass filing, batch arbitration, bellwether arbitration, or any other procedure or device that seeks to aggregate or process together multiple similar claims, and the parties waive any right to such procedures to the maximum extent permitted by law.

If any party attempts to bring, coordinate, or participate in a class, collective, consolidated, coordinated, mass, batch, bellwether, or representative arbitration, then to the maximum extent permitted by law: (a) the arbitration provider shall have no authority to administer such matter in that form; (b) any such claim must be brought, if at all, only in an individual proceeding; and (c) no arbitrator shall have authority to determine claims or issues involving more than one claimant's or one user's dispute at a time.

Notwithstanding the foregoing arbitration requirement, either you or Newseeze may bring an individual action in small claims court for disputes or claims within that court's jurisdiction, provided the action remains individual and is not removed, transferred, coordinated, consolidated, or appealed in a manner inconsistent with the parties' agreement to proceed individually. Either party may also seek temporary, preliminary, or injunctive relief in a court of competent jurisdiction as necessary to protect its rights pending completion of arbitration.

You may opt out of this Section 15.1 by sending written notice of your decision to opt out to legal@newseeze.com within thirty (30) days after the date you first register for the Service. Your notice must include your full name, the email address associated with your account, and a clear statement that you wish to opt out of this arbitration agreement. If you timely opt out, this Section 15.1 will not apply to you, but the remainder of these Terms will continue to apply. If you do not timely opt out, you will be bound by this Section 15.1.

The arbitrator shall decide all issues except that a court of competent jurisdiction shall decide issues relating to the enforceability, validity, or scope of the class, collective, consolidated, coordinated, mass, batch, bellwether, and representative action waiver and the prohibition on mass arbitration set forth in this Section 15.1. The arbitrator may award on an individual basis the same damages and other relief as a court of competent jurisdiction could award to an individual under applicable law.

Unless otherwise required by the AAA Rules or applicable law, the arbitration shall take place in Delaware or, if appropriate under the AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules, by remote proceedings, submission on documents, or at another mutually agreed location. Newseeze will pay arbitration fees as required by the AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules and applicable law. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.

If any part of this Section 15.1 is found unenforceable, that part shall be severed and the remaining parts shall be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law; provided, however, that if the prohibition on class, collective, consolidated, coordinated, mass, batch, bellwether, or representative arbitration is found unenforceable as to a particular claim or proceeding, then that claim or proceeding shall not proceed in arbitration and must be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction, subject to Section 15.2.

15.2 Class Action Waiver

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, YOU AND NEWSEEZE AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF, CLASS MEMBER, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL, OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, COLLECTIVE, CONSOLIDATED, MASS, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Unless both you and Newseeze expressly agree otherwise in writing, no court or tribunal may consolidate more than one person's claims or otherwise preside over any form of class, collective, consolidated, mass, or representative proceeding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either you or Newseeze may bring an individual claim in a court of competent jurisdiction, including small claims court, so long as the matter remains an individual dispute and is not brought or pursued on a class, collective, consolidated, mass, or representative basis.
