Curivra terms of service

Version: 2026-10-16 · Effective date: 2026-10-15 · Provider ("we"): Brandsap, based in Nagpur, Maharashtra, India · Postal address: available on request from contact@brandsap.com · Contact: contact@brandsap.com

1. What Curivra is

Curivra is a free news app. Each story is a short card that credits and links to its original source. Today Curivra is in a limited test, and its real-news cards are written automatically from official public data: earthquake reports from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and weather alerts from the U.S. National Weather Service (NWS). You see only stories from the topics you choose; topics you exclude always win, and Curivra never fills your feed with other stories. Curivra has no ads, no paid features, no comments and no posts by users.

2. Accepting these terms

Curivra is for adults: you must be at least 18 years old to use it. Before you start, the app asks you to confirm that you are 18 or older and to accept these terms; it links them and our privacy policy. We record the version you accepted (this is version 2026-10-16) and when, with your reader ID; the record is deleted with your data. If you do not accept, do not use Curivra.

3. Guest use and accounts

• You can read as a guest; the app creates a random reader ID for you.
• An account is optional. Sign-in uses Google Firebase Authentication with an e-mail and password or a Google account. Keep your password secure.
• You can delete your data or your account at any time, in the app or at https://curivra-public.briefly-app.workers.dev/delete/.
• We may suspend or end access that abuses the service (for example exceeding rate limits, attacking the service or breaking section 6). We may also end the test programme or the service; we will announce that in the app when we can.

4. Content and its limits

• Short cards, not full reports. The linked original is the authoritative source.
• Not an official warning service. Earthquake and weather cards summarise official data at a moment in time. They can be delayed, incomplete or out of date and are not official warnings or emergency advice. Always follow the issuing agency (weather.gov, earthquake.usgs.gov) and local authorities. Do not rely on Curivra for safety decisions.
• Not advice. Nothing in Curivra is legal, medical, financial or safety advice.
• Automated cards. Cards labelled "Automated card from … data" are produced without a person reading each one first: a fixed template fills in the source's own figures, and a separate automatic check compares every figure, name and time with the source record before publication. The most sensitive events (possible casualties, tsunami flags, the most dangerous weather warnings) wait for a person. No generative AI writes these cards.
• Corrections and withdrawals. Corrected cards are labelled. Withdrawn or expired cards are removed, and the app deletes its copies on your phone. See our editorial standards.
• Third-party links. Original sources open on the publisher's or agency's website under its own terms.

5. Intellectual property

• The Curivra app, its design and the card text written by Curivra belong to Brandsap or its licensors. Source material belongs to its owners and is credited on every card (see sources). Data from USGS and NWS is in the U.S. public domain; using it does not imply that either agency endorses Curivra.
• You may read cards and share links to them for personal, non-commercial use. Do not scrape, bulk-download, republish or resell Curivra content, or use it to train machine-learning models, without our written permission.
• "Curivra" is the name of this service. It is not a registered trademark.
• Copyright complaints: see our copyright page.

6. Acceptable use

Do not try to reach staff or newsroom systems; get around rate limits, sign-in or interest filtering; reverse-engineer the service to scrape it; interfere with it; or use the feedback form to send unlawful content or other people's personal data.

7. Feedback you send

Feedback and problem reports are private and are not published. You allow us to use your suggestions to improve Curivra without any obligation to you. Please do not include sensitive personal information.

8. Changes

Curivra is in development; features can change or stop. We will post changes to these terms with a new version and effective date. When a change is material, the app asks you to accept the new version before you continue; you can delete your data instead.

9. No warranty

Curivra is provided free of charge "as is" and "as available". To the extent the law allows, we make no promise that it will be accurate, complete, timely, uninterrupted or error-free, and we disclaim implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

10. Limitation of liability

To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages, or for decisions you make based on a card. Our total liability for any claim about Curivra is limited to the greater of USD 100 or the amount you paid us for Curivra in the 12 months before the claim. Nothing in these terms limits or excludes liability that cannot be limited or excluded by law (for example, for fraud), or your rights as a consumer that cannot be waived. Whether, and how far, these limits apply to you depends on the law that applies to you.

11. Governing law and disputes

These terms are governed by the laws of India. Subject to the next sentence, the courts at Nagpur, Maharashtra, India have jurisdiction over disputes about these terms or Curivra. If you use Curivra as a consumer, this choice of law does not take away the protection of the mandatory laws of the country where you live, and you may also bring a claim in the courts where you live if that law allows it. Before bringing a claim, please contact us so we can try to resolve it informally. These terms contain no arbitration clause and no class-action waiver.

12. App stores

If you installed Curivra from Google Play, Google Play's terms also apply to your use of the store.
