5. Content and Intellectual Property

Content we generate for you

The daily briefings, scripts, and titles generated by Ado are provided for your personal use. You own the content you create using our briefings as a starting point. We do not claim ownership over content you produce.

Content accuracy

Ado uses AI to generate content suggestions based on publicly available news and information. While we work hard to ensure accuracy, we cannot guarantee that all information in briefings is error-free. You are responsible for verifying factual claims before publishing content.

Our intellectual property

The Ado name, logo, application code, design, and underlying systems are owned by Paul Mansell. You may not reproduce or use these without our written permission.

Third-party content

Ado sources story data from publicly available RSS feeds and news sources. We do not claim ownership of the underlying news content. All rights remain with the original publishers.

6. Disclaimer of Warranties

Ado is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we make no warranties, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement.

We do not warrant that the service will be available at all times, free from errors, or that the content briefings will result in any particular outcome for your channel or content.
