6. Critical Disclaimers

NOT Emergency Services

NukeNewsAlert is NOT a replacement for official emergency alert systems including but not limited to FEMA, local government alerts, 911, or the Emergency Alert System (EAS). Users MUST maintain and rely on existing official emergency notification systems. NukeNewsAlert may experience delays, technical failures, or miss critical events entirely.

NOT Real-Time

Alerts may be delayed 5-30 minutes or more from the actual occurrence of an event. Delays occur due to: RSS feed update intervals, AI processing time, SMS/email delivery queues, and carrier/network delays. Do not rely on this service for time-critical emergency response.

NOT Comprehensive Coverage

We currently monitor only 6 RSS feeds: BBC World, Reuters, Al Jazeera, NPR, The Guardian, and Associated Press. Many news sources are NOT monitored. Critical events may occur that do not appear in our monitored sources or may not be classified as significant by our AI system.

AI Classification Limitations

Our AI classification system may incorrectly score events as more or less significant than they actually are. Critical events could be filtered out if scored below your threshold. The AI may misinterpret context, satire, or breaking news. Users should not rely solely on NukeNewsAlert for situational awareness.

Ongoing Conflict Normalization

Active, ongoing conflicts (such as Ukraine-Russia, Israel-Gaza, and others) are normalized in our classification system to reduce alert fatigue. Only major escalations within these conflicts will trigger alerts. Routine updates about ongoing conflicts may not generate notifications even at lower thresholds.

Delivery Not Guaranteed

SMS delivery depends on Twilio and mobile carrier networks, both of which may experience outages or delays. Email delivery may be filtered to spam folders or blocked by email providers. Neither SMS nor email delivery is guaranteed. You are responsible for ensuring you receive messages from our service.

Use Common Sense

This service is intended to supplement, not replace, normal news consumption and personal emergency preparedness. Continue to maintain awareness through other sources and follow official guidance from government authorities during emergencies.

7. Limitation of Liability

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT.

IN NO EVENT SHALL SOLVEFOR, LLC, ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, OR AGENTS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE.

OUR MAXIMUM LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE SHALL NOT EXCEED THE TOTAL AMOUNT YOU PAID TO US IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM.

WE ARE NOT LIABLE FOR ANY MISSED, DELAYED, OR INACCURATE ALERTS, OR FOR ANY ACTIONS YOU TAKE OR FAIL TO TAKE BASED ON INFORMATION PROVIDED THROUGH THE SERVICE.
