Fast Break terms of use
Accepting these terms
Using Fast Break means accepting what's on this page. If you don't agree with it, don't use the app — that's the whole of the deal.
These terms cover the Fast Break app on iOS and Android. The Azera Labs website is separate and has its own site terms. What the app collects, and who receives it, is in the privacy policy rather than here.
Who can use Fast Break
You need to be at least 13. Fast Break isn't directed at children under 13 and doesn't knowingly collect data from them, which is what the privacy policy says as well.
Some countries set a higher age for agreeing to terms like these without a parent. Where that's the case, that age applies instead of 13.
What you can do with the app
You get a personal licence to use Fast Break on devices you own. It isn't exclusive, it can't be transferred to anyone else, and it lasts as long as you keep to these terms.
The licence doesn't cover:
- Scraping, crawling, or bulk-extracting what the app produces — the story clusters, the summaries, the feed
- Republishing or redistributing the generated summaries, whole or in part
- Reselling access to the app, or using its output to build a competing product
- Reverse-engineering the app, or working around a technical limit in it
- Using the app to break a law, or to interfere with the service for anyone else
Reading Fast Break, saving stories, and sending one to a friend are all fine and always will be. The line is bulk extraction and republication, not ordinary use.
The reporting belongs to the publishers
Fast Break doesn't own the news. Headlines, article text, photographs, and video belong to the outlets that produced them, and nothing about that changes because a story appears in the app.
What the app does is group the reports covering the same event, show enough of each to tell you what happened, and link out to the original. It's built to send you to the publisher, not to stand in for one.
Publishers who want content removed should email support@azeralabs.dev. No formal notice is needed.
Accounts and ending them
An account needs a working email address and credentials you don't hand to anyone else. Anything done through your account is treated as done by you, so if you think someone else has got into it, say so quickly.
You can delete your account whenever you like, and delete your Fast Break account has the steps.
An account can be suspended or removed for breaking these terms — the scraping and redistribution items above are the ones that would trigger it. Where the reason isn't obvious, you'll be told what it was. Fast Break can also stop operating altogether. If that happens it gets announced before accounts are closed, with enough notice to get a copy of your data out.
Advertising
Fast Break can show ads through Google AdMob. Ads sit behind a feature flag, so they may be switched off entirely at any given time. When they're on, an ad is labelled as an ad and isn't dressed up as a story.
An ad appearing next to a story doesn't mean the advertiser and the publisher have anything to do with each other, and it isn't an endorsement in either direction. What happens after you tap an ad is between you and the advertiser. The privacy policy covers what advertising does with your data and what declining tracking changes.
The app is provided as-is
Fast Break comes with no warranty of any kind. There's no promise that it will be available, that it will be free of bugs, or — the one that matters here — that any story in it is accurate, complete, or current.
That deserves more than one line. Fast Break summarises reporting it didn't write, using software, and a summary can be wrong even when every source underneath it is right. Reporting itself changes: a trade falls through, a score is corrected, an injury report is revised an hour later. Don't make a decision that matters to you on the strength of a Fast Break summary alone. Open the linked article, which is the authoritative version.
None of this takes away rights your local consumer law gives you and doesn't allow anyone to sign away.
Limits on liability
To the fullest extent the law allows, Azera Labs isn't liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising out of using Fast Break — including anything that follows from acting on a story that turned out to be wrong, incomplete, or out of date.
Where liability can't be excluded, it's capped at the greater of what you've paid to use Fast Break in the twelve months before the claim, or $25.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Tennessee, in the United States, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. Disputes go to the state or federal courts located in Tennessee.
If you're a consumer somewhere whose law gives you the right to bring a claim locally, that right stands and this section doesn't remove it.
Changes to these terms
Changes get posted on this page and the last updated date at the top moves with them. A change that affects what you're allowed to do, or what you're giving up, gets said plainly rather than absorbed quietly. Carrying on using the app after a change means accepting it.
