Terms of Use

Effective date: July 3, 2026

These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your access to and use of My Kind of News (the "Service"), operated by My Kind of News ("Company", "we", "us", or "our"). By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service. How we handle your personal information is described separately in our Privacy Policy.

1. Your Account

You sign in using Sign in with Apple or Sign in with Google. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account and for all activity that occurs under it. You must be at least 16 years old (or the minimum age required in your jurisdiction) to use the Service. You may delete your account at any time from Settings, under the account and sign-out section.

2. Use of the Service

The Service provides a personalised daily news experience, including summaries and articles generated on your behalf, optional narration, and chat. Content is provided for general information only and may be generated with the assistance of automated systems; it may contain errors and should not be relied upon as professional advice. You agree not to misuse the Service, interfere with its operation, attempt to access it by unauthorised means, or use it in violation of any applicable law.

3. Subscriptions, Free Trial and Auto-Renewal

The Service is offered on a subscription basis under two plans, Standard and Premium, each billed either monthly or annually. New users currently receive a free promotional trial (3 months at present; the promotional length may change for future sign-ups); no payment is taken and no card is required to begin a free trial.

Paid subscriptions purchased on our website are processed through our payment partner, Razorpay. By subscribing to a paid plan, you authorise us, through Razorpay, to charge your selected payment method on a recurring basis. Your subscription renews automatically at the end of each billing cycle (monthly or annually) at the then-current price, until you cancel. We will attempt to charge the payment method on file; if a charge fails, your access may be suspended.

Subscriptions purchased within our iOS app are billed to your Apple Account through the Apple App Store. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and your Apple Account is charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period. You can manage your subscription and turn off auto-renewal in your Apple Account settings (Settings, your name, Subscriptions) after purchase, in accordance with Apple's terms.

4. Pricing and Taxes

For subscriptions purchased on our website, plan prices are exclusive of taxes and Goods and Services Tax (GST) at 18% is added at checkout. Current prices are:

  • Standard: ₹49 per month or ₹499 per year (plus 18% GST: ₹57.82 per month / ₹588.82 per year).
  • Premium: ₹149 per month or ₹1,299 per year (plus 18% GST: ₹175.82 per month / ₹1,532.82 per year).

Prices for subscriptions purchased within the iOS app are shown in the app at the time of purchase and are set for your local storefront. We may revise prices from time to time. Where prices change, existing subscribers will be notified in advance, and the revised price will apply from the next renewal following the notice.

5. Cancellation and Refund Policy

You may cancel a website subscription at any time from Settings → Subscription within the Service. Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing period, so you will continue to have access until that date, and you will not be charged again. Subscriptions purchased through the Apple App Store are cancelled from your Apple Account subscription settings.

Payments are generally non-refundable, and we do not provide pro-rated refunds for the unused portion of a billing period. Free trials are never charged; you are only billed if you choose a paid plan. Refunds for App Store purchases are handled by Apple in accordance with Apple's policies.

If you believe you have been charged in error, billed more than once for the same period, or were unable to access the Service due to a fault on our side, please contact us within 7 days of the charge at support@mykindofnews.com. Eligible refunds, where approved at our reasonable discretion or as required by applicable law, will be processed to the original payment method, typically within 5–7 business days.

6. Disclaimers and Limitation of Liability

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we disclaim all such warranties and will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising out of or in connection with your use of the Service.

7. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will notify you by posting a prominent notice within the Service or by email prior to the change becoming effective. Your continued use of the Service after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

8. Billing Support and Contact

For any questions about your subscription, billing, payments, cancellations, or refunds, contact us at support@mykindofnews.com. We aim to respond within a reasonable timeframe.
