Legal

Terms & Conditions

Last updated and effective: July 26, 2026

These Terms & Conditions ("Terms") are a binding agreement between you and PowderKeg Intelligence LLC ("PowderKeg," "we," "us," or "our"). They govern your access to and use of the PowderKeg Intelligence mobile application, PowderKeg Pro, powderkeg.info, and related content and services (collectively, the "Service").

By creating an account, checking the agreement box during registration, purchasing PowderKeg Pro, or otherwise using the Service, you agree to these Terms and acknowledge our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Service. If you use the Service for an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization.

Eligibility

You may not use the Service if you are under 13. If you are under the age of legal majority where you live, you represent that a parent or legal guardian has reviewed and agreed to these Terms and supervises your use. You must be legally able to enter this agreement and may not use the Service where doing so is prohibited by law. App-store content ratings may impose a higher minimum age.

Accounts and Security

Some features require an account and verified email address. You agree to provide accurate information, keep it current, protect your device and credentials, and promptly notify us of suspected unauthorized access. You are responsible for activity through your account except to the extent caused by our breach of these Terms or applicable law. Do not share, sell, transfer, or use another person's account without permission.

You may sign in through Apple or Google. Your use of those providers is also governed by their terms. We may require reauthentication, email verification, App Check, rate limits, or other safeguards to protect accounts and the Service.

The Service Is Informational

PowderKeg provides news alerts, public-source information, community features, market information, predictions, AI-generated context, and analytical tools concerning rapidly changing world events. Content may be delayed, incomplete, inaccurate, unavailable, disputed, or changed after publication. Severity labels, regional groupings, predictions, summaries, charts, notifications, AI explanations, and citations are editorial or automated aids, not guarantees.

The Service is not an emergency service and does not provide military, intelligence, security, legal, financial, investment, medical, travel-safety, or other professional advice. Do not rely on the Service as your sole source for personal safety, operational decisions, trading, or other high-impact decisions. Verify important information with qualified professionals and authoritative sources. If there is an emergency, contact the appropriate local emergency or public safety authority.

User Content and Community Features

"User Content" means posts, images, predictions, comments, replies, reports, profile information, prompts, and other material you submit. You retain any ownership rights you have in your User Content. You represent that you have all rights and permissions needed to submit it and that its submission and our permitted use will not violate law or another person's rights.

When you publish User Content to a public area, you grant PowderKeg a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, transferable, and sublicensable license to host, store, reproduce, format, adapt, publish, display, distribute, index, analyze, and create technical or promotional excerpts from that content solely to operate, secure, improve, promote, and provide the Service. This license lasts while the content remains on the Service and for a reasonable period in backups, legal records, and materials already created, subject to applicable law. Private Conflict AI chats are licensed only as needed to provide, secure, support, and comply with law for that feature; we do not treat them as public content.

You understand that public User Content can be viewed, copied, quoted, indexed, or reshared by others. Removing an account or item cannot recall copies made by other users or third parties.

Acceptable Use

You may not use the Service to:

  • violate law, sanctions, export controls, court orders, or another person's rights;
  • threaten, harass, exploit, defame, impersonate, dox, or incite violence against a person or group;
  • publish illegal content, sexual content involving minors, non-consensual intimate material, or instructions that meaningfully facilitate terrorism, violent wrongdoing, weapons construction, cyber abuse, or evasion of law enforcement;
  • misrepresent manipulated or fabricated material as authentic in a way likely to cause harm, or intentionally spread false information about an ongoing emergency;
  • infringe copyright, trademark, privacy, publicity, confidentiality, or other rights;
  • upload malware or harmful code, probe or bypass security, interfere with operation, scrape the Service at unreasonable volume, or access data or accounts without authorization;
  • automate account creation, voting, likes, comments, searches, AI requests, ad interactions, or other activity without our written permission;
  • reverse engineer, decompile, extract source code from, copy, modify, resell, sublicense, or create a substitute for the Service except where applicable law expressly permits it; or
  • use Service content or Conflict AI output to train a competing model or service, build a competing database, conduct surveillance, or make solely automated decisions with legal or similarly significant effects about a person without our written permission and a lawful basis.

Moderation and Enforcement

We may, but are not obligated to, review, label, limit distribution of, remove, preserve, or disclose User Content; investigate reports; restrict features; or suspend or terminate accounts where we reasonably believe it is necessary to operate or secure the Service, enforce these Terms, address legal or safety risk, or protect users or third parties. Automated systems may assist with abuse prevention, rate limits, entitlement checks, and content workflows, but we do not promise to detect every violation.

If you believe content violates these Terms or your rights, use the in-app reporting tools or email support@powderkeg.info. Include enough detail for us to identify the content and evaluate the issue. Knowingly submitting a false or abusive report may violate these Terms.

Artificial Intelligence Features

Conflict AI and other AI features use third-party models and search services. Inputs may be processed by those providers as described in our Privacy Policy. Before Conflict AI first shares content for an account on a device, the app presents a disclosure and asks for permission. You are responsible for the material you submit and for evaluating any output before using or sharing it.

AI output is generated probabilistically and may be inaccurate, outdated, incomplete, biased, offensive, or similar to output provided to others. It may misidentify sources or people and may not reflect PowderKeg's views. PowderKeg does not guarantee factual accuracy, uniqueness, availability, non-infringement, or fitness of AI output. To the extent permitted by law and subject to third-party rights, you may use output generated for you, but you receive no ownership in the underlying models, systems, Service content, or third-party material.

Conflict AI may impose per-minute, weekly, model, length, or other usage limits. Limits and available models may change to protect safety, reliability, and cost, provided we do not deceptively eliminate the recurring value of an active paid subscription.

PowderKeg Pro Subscriptions

PowderKeg Pro is an optional auto-renewing subscription that may include an ad-free experience and access to designated Pro features, content, higher limits, or models. The specific benefits, billing period, trial or introductory offer, localized price, taxes, and renewal terms shown on the store purchase screen at the time you subscribe are part of these Terms. Free features remain available without a subscription unless clearly stated otherwise.

  • Billing and renewal. Apple App Store or Google Play charges your store account when you confirm the purchase. Unless you cancel, an auto-renewing subscription renews for the disclosed billing period and at the price communicated through the store, subject to any required notice or consent for price changes.
  • Trials and offers. Eligibility is determined by the store. Unless you cancel before a trial or introductory period ends, the subscription converts to the paid recurring price shown at purchase.
  • Cancellation. Cancel through your Apple or Google account subscription settings or the Manage Subscription control in PowderKeg. Cancellation normally takes effect at the end of the current paid period. Uninstalling the app or deleting your PowderKeg account does not cancel a subscription.
  • Refunds. Apple or Google controls store billing and refunds. Payments are non-refundable except as required by law or the applicable store's refund policy. If a refund, chargeback, or reversal is granted, Pro access may end.
  • Restoration and account matching. Use Restore Purchases while signed in to the correct store and verified PowderKeg accounts. RevenueCat helps us associate store status with your PowderKeg account. Contact support if a completed purchase is not activated.
  • Changes. We may add, improve, replace, or retire individual Pro features and may change future prices for legitimate business, legal, security, provider, or product reasons. Store-required notice and consent rules apply to renewal price changes. We will continue to provide sustained recurring value during an active subscription or offer a remedy required by applicable law.

Advertising

Eligible non-Pro users may see third-party ads. Ads do not constitute PowderKeg's endorsement of an advertiser or claim. Your interactions with an advertiser are between you and the advertiser. Do not manipulate ad impressions or clicks. Advertising data and choices are described in our Privacy Policy.

Our Content and License to You

The Service, including software, design, branding, databases, editorial content, compilations, graphics, and technology, is owned by PowderKeg or its licensors and protected by intellectual property laws. Subject to these Terms, PowderKeg grants you a limited, personal, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable license to install and use the app and access the Service for lawful, non-commercial purposes.

Third-party articles, marks, market data, links, images, and other materials remain subject to their owners' rights and terms. No license is granted except as necessary to use the Service as intended. "PowderKeg," PowderKeg branding, and related marks may not be used without written permission.

Copyright and Other Rights Complaints

If you believe material on the Service infringes a copyright or other right, email support@powderkeg.info with: your contact information; identification of the protected work or right; the exact location of the challenged material; a statement of your good-faith belief that the use is unauthorized; a statement under penalty of perjury that the notice is accurate and you are authorized to act; and your physical or electronic signature. We may forward the notice to the affected user. Misrepresentations may create liability.

Third-Party Services and Links

The Service depends on or links to third-party stores, identity providers, cloud services, ad networks, subscription services, search and AI providers, news sources, and websites. Their terms and privacy policies govern their services. We do not control and are not responsible for third-party content, availability, security, transactions, or practices. Mobile data, roaming, internet, device, and third-party charges are your responsibility.

Updates, Availability, and Beta Features

We may update the app and require a supported app or operating-system version for security or compatibility. We do not guarantee that every feature will be available on every device, platform, region, or account. Features described as beta, preview, experimental, or coming soon may be changed or discontinued and may be less reliable. We may use remote configuration to stage or disable features for safety, reliability, cost, or rollout reasons.

We may suspend, limit, or discontinue all or part of the Service. Where reasonably practicable, we will give notice of a material discontinuation affecting paid users and provide any remedy required by law. Outages, provider failures, connectivity, emergencies, and rapidly changing events may affect delivery or timeliness of alerts and content.

Account Closure and Termination

You may stop using the Service at any time and may use the in-app Delete Account control. That control initiates deletion of your account and associated user data from systems configured for automated deletion, but it does not cancel a store subscription. Certain public content, transaction records, moderation records, backups, de-identified records, or processor copies may remain where reasonably necessary or legally permitted, as described in the Privacy Policy.

We may suspend or terminate access if you materially or repeatedly breach these Terms, create legal or security risk, fail to pay applicable charges, or if we discontinue the Service. Where appropriate, we will consider the nature and severity of the issue and provide notice or an opportunity to appeal. Sections that by their nature should survive termination—including ownership, licenses already granted, disclaimers, liability limits, indemnity, and dispute terms—will survive.

Disclaimers

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE SERVICE AND ALL CONTENT AND OUTPUT ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE." POWDERKEG AND ITS LICENSORS DISCLAIM ALL EXPRESS, IMPLIED, AND STATUTORY WARRANTIES, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, TIMELINESS, QUIET ENJOYMENT, AND WARRANTIES ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, ERROR-FREE, OR FREE OF HARMFUL COMPONENTS, OR THAT CONTENT, ALERTS, SEARCH RESULTS, PREDICTIONS, MARKET INFORMATION, OR AI OUTPUT WILL BE ACCURATE OR COMPLETE.

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain warranty exclusions, so some exclusions may not apply to you. Nothing in these Terms excludes non-waivable consumer guarantees or other rights under applicable law.

Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, POWDERKEG AND ITS OFFICERS, MEMBERS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, LICENSORS, AND SERVICE PROVIDERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES; LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, GOODWILL, OR BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY; PERSONAL-SAFETY OR OPERATIONAL DECISIONS; OR THE COST OF SUBSTITUTE SERVICES, ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THE SERVICE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THEIR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE OR THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID TO POWDERKEG FOR THE SERVICE DURING THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO LIABILITY OR (B) US $100. These limits do not apply to liability that cannot lawfully be limited, which may include liability for fraud, willful misconduct, gross negligence, or death or personal injury caused by negligence in some jurisdictions.

Indemnification

To the extent permitted by law, you will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless PowderKeg and its officers, members, employees, and contractors from third-party claims, damages, judgments, losses, and reasonable legal fees arising from your unlawful User Content, your material breach of these Terms, or your infringement or misuse of another person's rights. This obligation does not apply to the extent a claim results from PowderKeg's own conduct. We may control the defense and settlement, and you agree to cooperate; we will not settle a claim imposing non-monetary obligations on you without your consent.

Governing Law and Disputes

Before filing a claim, you and PowderKeg agree to try in good faith for 30 days to resolve it informally by sending a detailed notice to the contact address below. This does not prevent either party from seeking urgent injunctive relief or using a small-claims process where eligible.

Except where your local consumer law requires otherwise, these Terms are governed by the laws of the State of New Mexico, without regard to conflict-of-law rules, and any judicial proceeding must be brought in the state or federal courts located in Bernalillo County, New Mexico. You and PowderKeg consent to personal jurisdiction and venue there. Nothing in these Terms deprives a consumer of mandatory protections or forums available under the law of the consumer's residence.

Additional Terms for Apple Users

If you obtained the app through Apple's App Store, you acknowledge that these Terms are between you and PowderKeg, not Apple, and PowderKeg—not Apple—is solely responsible for the app and its content. Your license is limited to a non-transferable license to use the app on Apple-branded products you own or control as permitted by the Apple Media Services Terms and Usage Rules, including any permitted Family Sharing or volume-purchase use.

  • Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for the app.
  • If the app fails to conform to an applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple may refund the purchase price, if any, as required by its terms. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation.
  • PowderKeg, not Apple, is responsible for addressing claims relating to the app, including product liability, legal or regulatory compliance, and consumer-protection claims.
  • PowderKeg, not Apple, is responsible for investigating, defending, settling, and discharging a claim that the app infringes a third party's intellectual property rights.
  • You represent that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo or designated as a "terrorist supporting" country and are not listed on a U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
  • You must comply with applicable third-party agreement terms when using the app.
  • Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them against you upon your acceptance.

Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms for legitimate legal, security, provider, or product reasons. We will post the revised Terms and update the "Last updated" date. If a change materially reduces your rights or affects an active paid subscription, we will provide additional notice and obtain consent where required by law or store rules. Changes apply prospectively from their effective date. If you do not agree to revised Terms, you must stop using the Service and cancel any subscription before its next renewal.

General

These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between you and PowderKeg about the Service, except for terms shown at purchase or additional terms expressly accepted for a feature. If a provision is unenforceable, it will be enforced to the maximum extent permitted and the remaining provisions remain effective. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms without our written consent; we may assign them in connection with a merger, reorganization, financing, or sale of the Service or business. Headings are for convenience only.
