What the site provides

Release Terminal is an independent publication. We explain selected AI product announcements in plain English and link to the original sources. We are not an official source of information, website or spokesperson for any AI provider. We are not affiliated with or endorsed by the providers we cover. Product names and logos identify the products being discussed.

The site is free to read and requires no account or login. Our summaries are for general information and may contain errors or become outdated. Coverage is selective and updated manually. An announcement does not guarantee that a feature, usage allowance or offer is available to your account. Check the provider’s official announcements and terms for eligibility, timing, pricing and later changes before you act. A countdown reaching zero does not confirm that a planned change happened.

We aim to report accurately and review reported errors. We cannot promise complete coverage, uninterrupted access or that information will always remain current. These limits do not remove any rights you have under law.

Sharing and responsible use

You may link to our pages. For material we own, you may share the cards we provide for download, with their attribution intact and without presenting altered claims as ours. This permission does not grant rights in third-party text, artwork, logos or trademarks. Those rights remain with their owners. Ask us about other uses of our original material.

Do not impersonate Release Terminal, use the site unlawfully, interfere with its operation or attempt to access private booking or administration records without permission.

Corrections and rights concerns

To report an error, send the page URL and the source or explanation supporting a correction. For a copyright, trademark or privacy concern, identify the material, explain your concern and tell us how to contact you. If you act for someone else, explain your authority. Do not send unnecessary identity documents. We will review the request and may ask for more detail.

Sponsors and external services

Sponsorship does not affect which announcements we cover or their order. Paid placements are labelled. An advertisement or external link is not an endorsement. External providers set the terms for their own products and services.

Sponsor checkout is not open. A sponsorship enquiry does not reserve a placement or create a payment obligation. Any future booking will have separate terms shown before acceptance.

Your legal rights

New Zealand law governs these terms, and New Zealand courts have non-exclusive jurisdiction. Nothing here excludes or limits rights or remedies that cannot lawfully be excluded, including under the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 and Fair Trading Act 1986 where applicable. Any mandatory rights you have elsewhere continue to apply.

We may update these terms for future use of the site. Updates do not retrospectively change an accepted sponsorship booking.
