Terms of Use

Last updated 19 October 2026

These terms are the agreement between you and Raunak Kalra ("we", "us") for using the ThinkGist app and its website pages. By creating an account, commenting or otherwise using ThinkGist you agree to them, to our Privacy Policy and to our Community Guidelines. If you do not agree, please do not use ThinkGist.

1. What ThinkGist is

ThinkGist summarises the day's news from many publications into short cards and longer explainers, with links to the original reports. The summaries are written with the help of AI and checked by automated rules. They can contain mistakes or leave things out.

• ThinkGist is for general information. It is not legal, financial, medical or other professional advice.
• Always check the original report before relying on something, especially for anything important.
• The articles we link to belong to their publishers. We do not control those sites and are not responsible for them.

2. Your account

• You must be 18 or older to create an account. Reading without an account is open to everyone.
• Give accurate details, keep your password safe and tell us if you think someone else has used your account. You are responsible for what happens under your account.
• One person, one account. Do not create accounts to get around a ban or a limit.

3. Your comments

• You keep ownership of what you write. By posting a comment you give us a free, worldwide licence to show it in ThinkGist for as long as it stays up.
• You are responsible for your comments. They must follow our Community Guidelines and the law.
• We may remove any comment, and suspend or close any account, that breaks these terms or the guidelines, or for safety or legal reasons. You can delete your own comments at any time.
• You can report a comment from the app. We review reports, but we cannot promise to read every comment before it appears.

4. Using ThinkGist fairly

Do not: copy or collect ThinkGist's content in bulk by automated means; try to break, overload or get unauthorised access to our systems; reverse-engineer the app; use it for anything unlawful; or use it to harass or harm others.

5. Our content

The app, its design, the way the news is organised and our summaries belong to us or our licensors and are protected by law. You may use them for your own personal reading, and share a story using the app's share button. Nothing here gives you ownership of our content, or of the publishers' articles and photographs that we link to or show with credit.

6. Notifications and emails

If you switch on notifications you will receive them until you switch them off. We will also email you when you need to confirm your address or reset your password.

7. The service may change

ThinkGist is provided free of charge. We may change, pause or stop any part of it, or these terms, at any time. If we make an important change to these terms we will tell you in the app, and continuing to use ThinkGist afterwards means you accept the change.

8. No guarantees, and limits on our responsibility

ThinkGist is provided "as is" and "as available". To the fullest extent the law allows, we do not promise that it will be accurate, uninterrupted or error-free, and we are not liable for losses that come from relying on it, from comments written by other readers, or from sites we link to. Nothing in these terms limits any right you have under law that cannot be limited, or our responsibility for anything the law does not allow us to exclude.

9. Ending your use

You can stop using ThinkGist at any time and delete your account in the app (Account settings, then "Delete my account"; see the Privacy Policy). We may suspend or end your access if you break these terms.

10. Apple

These terms are between you and us, not Apple. Apple is not responsible for ThinkGist or for supporting it. If you downloaded ThinkGist from the App Store, Apple's standard terms for apps also apply to you, and Apple can enforce them against you.

11. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of India, and the courts of India will have jurisdiction, subject to any consumer rights you have in the place you live.
