Terms of use
The short version: read the site, share it, don’t scrape it into the ground, and don’t rely on a sixty-word summary for anything that matters.
Last updated 7 September 2026
Agreement
By using Concise Signal you agree to these terms. If you don’t, please don’t use the site. “We” and “us” mean Concise Signal.
What you may do
Read it, link to it, quote it with attribution, and send it to anyone. You may reproduce a headline and a short extract with a link back. You may not republish our summaries wholesale, present them as your own, or use the site as a feed for another product without asking first. Licensing and syndication go to hello@concisesignal.com — the answer is often yes, so it is worth asking.
What you may not do
- Scrape the site at a rate that degrades it for other people, or circumvent any rate limiting.
- Attempt to access the admin interface, other people’s data, or our infrastructure.
- Subscribe an address that is not yours.
- Use the site for anything unlawful, or to break someone else’s terms.
Accuracy, and the limits of it
Our summaries are generated by AI from multiple publications and validated automatically before publication. That process is good, not perfect. Stories can be wrong, out of date, missing context, or drawn from reporting that was itself wrong. Confidence labels reflect how many independent sources we saw, not whether something is true.
Treat this site as an index of what is being reported, and read the linked originals before acting on anything. See our disclaimer for the full statement.
Third-party links
Every story links to other publications. We do not control those sites, are not responsible for them, and linking is not endorsement. Their terms and privacy policies apply once you leave.
Intellectual property
The summaries, ranking, code and design are © 2026 Concise Signal. Publishers’ content and trademarks remain theirs. See Copyright & takedowns.
The newsletter
Subscribing is free and confirmed by email. You can leave from the link in any issue, immediately. We may pause, change or stop the newsletter.
Availability
The site is provided as-is and as-available. We may change it, break it, or take it down without notice, and we do not promise it will be online or that any particular story will remain.
No warranty and limitation of liability
To the fullest extent the law allows, Concise Signal provides the site without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, and non-infringement. To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential or punitive damages, or for any loss arising from your reliance on anything here.
Some jurisdictions do not allow these exclusions, in which case they apply to you only as far as that law permits, and nothing here limits liability for fraud or for death or personal injury caused by negligence.
Changes to these terms
We may update these terms; the date above will change when we do. Continuing to use the site after a change means you accept it.
