Terms of Service

By downloading the NewsBuster.AI app or using this website, you agree to these terms. We've written them to be readable — please actually read them.

What NewsBuster.AI is

NewsBuster.AI is an AI-assisted fact-checking tool. We help you evaluate the credibility of news claims, viral forwards, and online content. Our verdicts are based on publicly available sources and AI analysis — they are informational, not legal or journalistic conclusions.

We are a tool to help you think, not a replacement for your judgement. A verdict of "REAL" does not mean a claim is 100% accurate. A verdict of "FAKE" does not mean the claim has no basis whatsoever. Always use your critical thinking.

Your account

• You must be 13 or older to use NewsBuster.AI.
• You are responsible for all activity under your phone number.
• One account per person. Creating duplicate accounts to exploit the free tier is not allowed.
• You can delete your account at any time from the app settings.

Acceptable use

You may not use NewsBuster.AI to:

• Submit content that is illegal under Indian law or the laws of your jurisdiction
• Harass, defame, or target individuals
• Abuse the platform programmatically (bots, scrapers, automated submissions)
• Reverse-engineer, decompile, or copy the app or its underlying AI models
• Misrepresent our verdicts — you cannot claim something is "certified fact" by NewsBuster.AI

Buster Feed and public content

When you post a bust to the Buster Feed, you grant NewsBuster.AI a non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to display that content in the app and on our website. You retain ownership. You can delete your posts at any time.

Posts must not contain hate speech, personal attacks, or content that violates Indian IT laws. We reserve the right to remove content that violates these terms without notice.

Subscriptions and payments

Pro and Pro Annual subscriptions are billed via Razorpay. By subscribing, you authorise recurring billing at the stated interval. You can cancel anytime from the app — cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period. See our Refund Policy for details on refunds.

Disclaimers

NewsBuster.AI is provided "as is." We make no warranties that our verdicts are error-free, complete, or suitable for any particular purpose. We are not liable for decisions you make based on our fact-checks.

We use third-party AI models and data sources. While we aim for accuracy, the output of AI systems can be incorrect, biased, or outdated. We continuously work to improve quality.

Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, NewsBuster.AI and its founders shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the service.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of India. Disputes shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of courts in Bengaluru, Karnataka.

Changes to these terms

We'll notify you in-app before making material changes. Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance.
