Whyworld — Terms of Use

Effective date: 1 October 2026 · Last updated: 6 October 2026

These terms are an agreement between you and Srofia ("we") for the Whyworld app. By using the app, you accept them. The Apple standard EULA also applies when you use the app on Apple devices.

Important — AI-generated content. Whyworld's summaries, titles and briefs are generated automatically by AI (Google Gemini) from third-party public sources and may be inaccurate, incomplete or out of date. They are for general information only — not journalism by Srofia and not professional advice. Always check the original sources before relying on or sharing anything. Spot an error? Tap "Report" or email support@srofia.com. See section 2.

1. The service

Whyworld shows what countries are talking about, with short summaries and the reason each topic is in the news ("why now"). Section 2 explains how this content is made and its limits.

2. AI-generated content & no warranty

  • Made by AI, not by journalists. Topic summaries, titles, "why now" explanations and briefs are generated automatically by artificial intelligence (Google Gemini) from third-party public sources: Google Trends and news publishers' articles found through GDELT. No person at Srofia writes, edits or checks each item before it is shown.
  • It can be wrong. We use automated safeguards (every sentence is tied to a source, sensitive topics get a second AI check, and when confidence is low only headlines and links are shown). Even so, AI content may be inaccurate, incomplete, outdated, mistranslated, taken out of context, or may not reflect what the sources actually say.
  • General information only. The content is provided "as is" and "as available", for general information only. It is not journalism or news reporting by Srofia, and it is not professional advice of any kind, including legal, financial, investment, medical, health or safety advice. It does not represent the views of Srofia.
  • No endorsement or guarantee. Srofia does not verify, endorse or guarantee the accuracy, completeness, timeliness or reliability of any AI-generated content or of any third-party source.
  • Check before you rely or share. You must verify information with the original sources (linked on every topic) before relying on it, acting on it or sharing it. You are solely responsible for how you use the content.
  • Limitation. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Srofia disclaims all warranties and is not liable for any loss or damage arising from reliance on, or use or sharing of, AI-generated content or third-party sources.
  • Third-party sources. Headlines, snippets, articles and links belong to their publishers, who are responsible for them. Linking to a source does not mean we endorse it.
  • Report incorrect content. Tap "Report" on any topic in the app, or email support@srofia.com with the topic and what is wrong. We review reports and correct or remove content where appropriate; topics that are reported repeatedly are hidden automatically.

Nothing in this section limits rights you have as a consumer under the law of your country, or any liability that cannot be limited or excluded by law.

3. Third-party content

Headlines, snippets and links belong to their publishers. We show short extracts with attribution and link to the original. If you are a rights holder and want something removed, contact support@srofia.com.

4. Free use, ads and Whyworld Plus

  • Free version: includes a limited set of countries and shows ads.
  • Whyworld Plus is an auto-renewing subscription. Current prices are shown in the app before you buy.
    • Monthly: US$3.99 per month (or the local equivalent).
    • Yearly: US$29.99 per year (or the local equivalent), including a 3-day free trial if you are eligible.
    • Founding member offer: when available, a limited yearly plan at US$19.99 per year (or the local equivalent). It renews at the same price every year for as long as you stay subscribed.
  • Billing:
    • Payment is charged to your Apple ID or Google Play account when you confirm the purchase. If you take the trial, payment is charged when the trial ends.
    • The subscription renews automatically unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the period ends.
    • Manage or cancel in your App Store or Google Play account settings. Deleting the app does not cancel a subscription.
    • If you buy during a free trial, any unused part of the trial ends.
    • Refunds are handled by Apple or Google under their policies.
  • Restore: use "Restore purchases" in the app.

5. Acceptable use

Do not:

  • copy, scrape or resell the app's content in bulk;
  • interfere with the app or its servers;
  • reverse-engineer the app except where the law allows;
  • use the app against the law.

6. Changes and availability

We may change, add or remove countries, sources or features, and the service may be unavailable at times.

If we stop the paid service, you will not be charged for future periods.

7. Liability

The app is provided "as is". To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for decisions made based on summaries or other AI-generated content (see section 2), or for indirect or consequential losses. Our total liability is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim.

Nothing in these terms limits rights you have as a consumer under the law of your country, or liability that cannot be limited by law.

8. Ending

You can stop using the app at any time. We may suspend access if these terms are seriously breached.

9. Law

  • These terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Türkiye. The courts of Istanbul, Türkiye, have jurisdiction.
  • If you are a consumer: this does not take away the protection of the mandatory consumer laws of your country of residence, and you may also bring claims in the courts there.
