Terms of use

Last updated: November 14, 2026

These terms cover your use of Bad News AI at badnewsai.com, operated by Bad News AI. By using the site, you agree to them. If you don’t agree, please don’t use it.

What the service does

Bad News AI suggests drafts for difficult messages and simulates possible replies so you can practice. Drafts are suggestions. You decide what to send, and you’re responsible for the messages you send and their consequences.

Not legal, HR, or professional advice

Nothing on Bad News AI is legal, HR, medical, financial, or mental-health advice. Rehearsal replies are simulations, not predictions of how a real person will react. For messages with legal or contractual consequences (for example resignations under contract, terminations, or disputes), check with a qualified professional.

Content policy

Bad News AI is for delivering hard news honestly and kindly. You may not use it to create messages that:

• scam, defraud, or phish anyone, or help obtain money, passwords, or personal data under false pretenses;
• harass, bully, stalk, intimidate, or threaten anyone, including threats of violence or blackmail;
• impersonate a person, company, or authority, or otherwise deceive someone about who is writing;
• break the law or violate someone else’s rights.

We use automated checks to refuse obvious misuse, and we may block access that breaks this policy. The checks aren’t perfect, and you remain responsible for what you send.

Acceptable use of the service

• Don’t try to break, overload, scrape, or get around rate limits on the service.
• Don’t enter other people’s sensitive personal information unless you have the right to share it.

Price

Bad News AI is free while in beta. We apply daily usage limits to prevent abuse and may change them. If we introduce paid features later, we’ll update these terms and tell you before anything costs money; nothing will be charged without your explicit agreement.

Your content

You own what you type and the drafts you choose to use. You give us permission to process your input only as needed to run the service. We don’t claim any rights to your content.

Availability and changes

This is an early product. Features may change, break, or be removed. We may update these terms; we’ll change the date above when we do.

Disclaimers and liability

The service is provided “as is” without warranties. To the extent the law allows, Bad News AI is not liable for indirect or consequential damages, or for outcomes of messages you send. Our total liability to you is limited to the amount you paid us, if anything, in the 12 months before the claim.
