Terms of service

These terms govern your access to and use of TocsinWire (the "Service"). By using the Service you agree to them. This is a starting template and will be finalised before general availability. If you are evaluating TocsinWire under a separate trial or order form, that agreement prevails where it conflicts with this page.

1. The Service

TocsinWire monitors official public sources, detects changes, and generates evidence-bound draft text for editorial review. TocsinWire is a tool for journalists and editors; it does not auto-publish, and the customer's human editors are solely responsible for what they choose to publish.

2. Accounts & access

You are responsible for maintaining the security of your accounts and for activity under them. Access is licensed to your organisation for the source packs and tier you subscribe to.

3. Acceptable use

You agree not to misuse the Service, including attempting to access another tenant's data, interfering with monitoring, or using the Service to breach the terms or access controls of any third-party source.

4. Source content & accuracy

The Service surfaces and summarises third-party source material with supporting evidence. We do not warrant that source material is accurate or complete, and AI-assisted drafts may contain errors. Always verify against the linked evidence before publishing.

5. Fees

Paid subscriptions are billed per source pack at the tier and currency stated in your order. Fees are non-refundable except as required by law or expressly agreed.

6. Intellectual property

TocsinWire and its software remain our property. Your editorial content, house style and feedback remain yours.

7. Warranties & liability

The Service is provided "as is" to the extent permitted by law. Our aggregate liability is limited to the fees you paid in the 12 months preceding the claim. Nothing limits liability that cannot be limited by law.

8. Termination

Either party may terminate per the order term. We may suspend access for material breach.

9. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of New Zealand, and the courts of New Zealand have non-exclusive jurisdiction.
