Terms & Conditions

Last updated: May 18, 2026. Please read our guidelines on feed ownership, aggregator boundaries, and software licensing.

Acceptance of Agreement

By launching and interacting with Informed, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these terms. If you do not agree to the client-side parsing rules, direct network requests, or disclaimers, you should immediately cease using the platform.

1. Aggregator and RSS Usage

Informed is a client-side technology news aggregator that loads public, standard XML schemas (RSS/Atom feeds). By accessing our website, you understand and acknowledge that all headlines, summaries, full article links, and publisher logos displayed belong entirely to their respective authors and media outlets.

2. Intellectual Property & Brand Ownership

The articles and images indexed by this platform are the property of their publishers (such as TechCrunch, The Verge, NY Times). We do not claim authorship, licensing, or commercial distribution rights over foreign feed elements. The source code of Informed itself is open source and can be modified or deployed under general public terms.

3. Disclaimer of Content & Availability

We rely entirely on external publisher XML formats and independent browser CORS proxies to load data. As a result, Informed does not warrant or guarantee that RSS feeds will always be reachable, that parsed image formats will render perfectly, or that third-party proxy networks will be free of lag or rate limits. We provide this client-side template strictly "as is" and "as available".

4. Permitted and Custom Configurations

Our Admin panel allows you to dynamically insert your own custom XML feeds. You are solely responsible for ensuring that the URLs you supply are valid, secure, and that you do not utilize URLs containing destructive parameters. We reserve the right to locally clean and filter configurations in your browser session if they cause rendering loops.

5. Questions or Modifications

Since our code is purely open source, you have full freedom to fork the repository, modify the styles, implement your own proxies, and launch your own customized iterations. If you have licensing questions, feel free to inspect our code or reach out:
