Terms

Last updated: December 8, 2025

Plain-language terms for using Wicks sites and services.

What Wicks provides

Wicks operates community-focused projects including Wicks Local, an AI-assisted news aggregation service. Our content is provided for informational purposes.

AI-generated content

Important: Wicks Local uses AI to synthesize news from local sources. While we work to ensure accuracy, AI-generated summaries may contain errors, omissions, or misinterpretations. Always verify important information from the original sources we link to.

We're transparent about using AI. It helps us process information from many sources, but it's not perfect. Use your judgment, especially for anything that affects your decisions.

Not professional advice

Nothing on Wicks sites constitutes professional, legal, medical, financial, or safety advice. Weather updates, traffic information, and community news are for general awareness only. For emergencies, contact appropriate authorities.

External links

We link to original news sources and other websites. We're not responsible for their content, accuracy, or privacy practices.

Intellectual property

Original Wicks content is © 2025 Wicks LLC. News excerpts and summaries are provided under fair use principles with attribution to original sources. All trademarks belong to their respective owners.

Changes

We may update these terms as our projects evolve. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance.

Provided as-is

Our sites and content are provided "as is." We do our best, but we can't guarantee everything will be accurate, complete, or available when you need it. Use your judgment.

Limits on liability

If something goes wrong, Wicks LLC isn't liable for indirect or consequential damages. We're a small project trying to do good work—our total liability is limited to $100. We hope it never comes to that.

Governing law

These terms are governed by Indiana law. Any disputes would be resolved in Indiana courts, though we'd much rather just talk it out.
