These terms govern your use of The Whys, a website run by Layernine Ltd, a company registered in England and Wales (company number 14628201). By using the site you agree to these terms. If you do not agree with them, please do not use the site.

About the service

The Whys turns public news headlines into plain questions and answers. The summaries you read are generated automatically using AI from public news feeds. They are provided for general information only. Nothing on the site is professional, legal, financial, or other advice, and you should not treat it as such.

Accuracy and reliance

AI-generated summaries can be incomplete, out of date, or simply wrong. We take reasonable care, but we cannot guarantee that any story is accurate or current. We link to the original reporting from every story, and you should read that source and make your own checks before relying on anything you find here. You use the content at your own risk.

Availability

The Whys is provided free of charge. We may change, suspend, or withdraw any part of the site at any time, and we do not promise that it will always be available or free of faults. We may also update or remove stories without notice.

Acceptable use

You may read the site and share links to it for your own personal, non-commercial use. You must not scrape, copy, republish, or resell our content on a systematic or commercial basis, attempt to gain unauthorised access to the site or its systems, or use the site in any way that is unlawful or that could damage it or disrupt it for other people.

Intellectual property

The name, branding, design, and original written content of The Whys belong to us or are licensed to us. Source material drawn from news publishers remains the property of those publishers. Where a story contains public sector information, that material is used under the Open Government Licence v3.0. Nothing in these terms transfers any of these rights to you beyond the personal use described above.

Links to other sites

The site links out to third-party websites, including the original news sources. We do not control those sites and are not responsible for their content, availability, or privacy practices. A link is not an endorsement.

No warranties

The site and its content are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we make no warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, about the site, including that it will be accurate, uninterrupted, or error free.

Our liability

Nothing in these terms limits or excludes our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud, or for anything else that cannot be limited or excluded under the law of England and Wales. Subject to that, we are not liable for any loss or damage arising from your use of, or inability to use, the site, or from your reliance on any content on it.

If you use the site as a consumer, these terms do not affect your statutory rights.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales, and any dispute will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. The date at the top of the page shows when they were last changed, and continued use of the site after a change means you accept the current version.
