Masthead terms

The small print, set in short lines. Reading the site counts as agreeing.

Who may read

People of at least 18, and legally adult where they live. Keep your password safe; you answer for what happens on the account.

What the service is

Entertainment in the form of conversation with figures invented by an AI model. Nothing a reporter says is news, fact or advice. The paper, the city and the scandals are fiction from the first word.

Rates and payment

A subscription is bought in USDT, covers a fixed run of days and then lapses without fuss. There are no refunds in the usual course; except where law requires a refund where you live, a payment stays paid. A mistyped sum or the wrong network may lose the money, which is beyond our reach.

House rules

Keep to the style guide, to the law and to the chat's limits. Harvesting the site automatically or reselling a login is out. An account that does either can be closed.

Your copy

Your messages are yours. Sending them lets us store them and run them through the model, and automated filters read them to enforce the style guide.

Corrections

These terms may change. Should these terms shift, the editorial page prints the news on the day it applies to you.
