Terms of Service

Effective date: November 9, 2026

Digg Inc. ("Digg," "we," "us," or "our") operates Digg at https://digg.com. These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of Digg.

By accessing or using Digg, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use Digg.

1. Acceptance and Eligibility

You must be at least 14 years old to use Digg. If you are under 18, or under the age of majority where you live, you may use Digg only with the permission of a parent or legal guardian who agrees to these Terms for you. By using Digg, you confirm that you meet these requirements.

When you are signed in, we ask you to accept these Terms and our Community Guidelines. Accepting them confirms that you meet the age requirements above. You must accept them before you comment, reply, Digg a comment, report a comment or edit one. We record when you accepted and which version of these Terms you accepted. When these Terms change, we ask you to accept them again.

These Terms form a binding agreement between you and Digg Inc. If you are using Digg on behalf of an organization, you confirm that you are authorized to bind that organization to these Terms.

2. The Service

Digg is an automated, editorial product that aggregates public information from sources such as X, GitHub, and other public sites; generates AI-driven rankings, summaries, classifications, and topic signals; and publishes them at digg.com. Digg is provided as a public, free service. Eligible registered users can submit comments and replies and participate in discussions directly on the Digg website.

Digg may add, change, or remove features at any time. We may also change or discontinue the service in whole or in part without notice.

3. Rankings, Summaries, and AI Content

Digg's rankings, summaries, classifications, sentiment signals, vibe scores, and similar outputs are editorial product features produced by automated processes. They represent opinion and inference, not statements of fact about any person, organization, or work.

Inputs to these processes include publicly available information. The outputs may be inaccurate, incomplete, out of date, or surprising. Digg does not warrant the accuracy of any ranking, summary, label, score, or AI-generated description, and you should not rely on them as authoritative.

If a public profile or item about you appears on Digg and you believe it is incorrect or should be removed, you may contact us at legal@digg.com using the process described in our Privacy Policy. We review requests in good faith and exercise editorial discretion subject to applicable law. Nothing in these Terms limits any removal obligation or privacy right that applies by law.

4. Third-Party Content and DMCA

Digg references and excerpts content from third-party sources, including links to public posts, articles, repositories, and media. Digg does not own that source content, and ownership remains with the original rights holders. The presence of a link, excerpt, or summary on Digg is not an endorsement and does not imply any affiliation. Users also retain ownership of the comments and other content they submit, subject to Section 8.

If you believe content on Digg infringes your copyright, you may send a notice under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) to our designated agent:

Digg Inc.
Attn: DMCA Designated Agent
Email: copyright@digg.com

A complete DMCA notice must include (a) a physical or electronic signature of the rights holder or an authorized agent; (b) identification of the copyrighted work claimed to be infringed; (c) identification of the material to be removed or disabled and information sufficient to locate it on Digg; (d) your contact information; (e) a statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use is not authorized; and (f) a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information is accurate and that you are authorized to act on behalf of the rights holder.

We respond to valid DMCA notices by expeditiously removing or disabling access to the identified material as required by law. When we remove a user's submission under this process, the user sees a removal notice on Digg. We may forward notices and their contact information to the user or source associated with the content.

If your submission was removed because of mistake or misidentification, you may send a counter-notice to copyright@digg.com. It must include your physical or electronic signature; identification of the removed material and its previous location; a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed or disabled because of mistake or misidentification; your name, address and telephone number; and a statement consenting to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for your address (or, if outside the United States, a federal district where Digg may be found) and accepting service of process from the original notice sender or their agent.

We forward a valid counter-notice to the original notice sender. Under the DMCA process, we restore access no sooner than 10 and no later than 14 business days after receiving a valid counter-notice, unless our designated agent first receives notice that the claimant has filed a court action seeking to restrain the alleged infringement. A copyright counter-notice does not override an independent restriction for another violation of these Terms.

We maintain a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances, accounts of repeat copyright infringers.

5. Sponsorships, Advertising, and Paid Placements

Digg may display advertising, sponsorships, promoted placements, paid partner messages, or other commercial content, and Digg may receive compensation for those placements. We may use an ad server or other service providers to deliver, measure, pace, and report on those placements. Any collection or use of information in connection with advertising and sponsorships is described in our Privacy Policy.

Paid placements will be identified with clear labels such as "Sponsored," "Advertisement," "Ad," or similar wording in or near the placement. Because Digg includes feed-style and editorial-style surfaces, we work to identify commercial placements clearly and before or as users interact with them so users can distinguish them from Digg's rankings, summaries, story groupings, and other editorial product features.

Sponsorship does not mean that Digg endorses the advertiser, sponsor, product, service, offer, claim, landing page, or linked site. Sponsors and advertisers are responsible for their own content, claims, offers, products, services, landing pages, compliance with law, substantiation for advertising claims, intellectual property rights, and any required disclosures, including disclosures for endorsements, testimonials, or other material connections.

Digg may reject, remove, suspend, label, reposition, or modify the presentation of any ad or sponsorship at our discretion, including if we believe it is misleading, low quality, unsafe, unlawful, inappropriate for Digg, or inconsistent with our product or editorial standards.

Ads and sponsored placements may link to third-party sites or services. Those third-party sites and services are governed by their own terms and privacy policies, not these Terms. Digg is not responsible for purchases, sign-ups, offers, claims, or transactions on third-party advertiser or sponsor sites.

Unless Digg clearly says otherwise in a particular placement, sponsorships and ads do not affect Digg's editorial rankings, AI-generated summaries, story clustering, topic selection, or other editorial product judgments.

6. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

• access Digg by automated means outside of any interfaces or rate limits we publish, including scraping or crawling beyond what we permit;
• bulk export, mirror, or republish substantial portions of Digg's rankings, summaries, embeddings, or other product outputs;
• use Digg or any data obtained from Digg to train, fine-tune, or evaluate machine learning models without our prior written permission;
• reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to derive the source code or non-public APIs of Digg;
• interfere with, disrupt, or attempt to gain unauthorized access to Digg, its servers, networks, or accounts;
• use Digg in violation of any law or in a way that infringes the rights of others;
• circumvent any access controls, technical limits, or rate limits;
• introduce malware or any harmful code to or through Digg;
• submit spam, unsolicited bulk advertising, repeated self-promotion across unrelated discussions, scams, phishing, manipulative repetitive content, or promotions intended to exploit search rankings;
• harass or intimidate a person, organize targeted abuse, or attack people based on protected characteristics;
• threaten or encourage real-world violence, submit sexual exploitation or pornographic content, or encourage or instruct self-harm;
• disclose another person's private personal information without authorization;
• impersonate others, manipulate Diggs, coordinate abusive reports, or evade moderation restrictions.

Good-faith disagreement, criticism of ideas, products, companies and public actions, and discussion of sensitive news are allowed within these rules. Context matters, and disagreement alone is not a reason to report someone.

7. User Accounts

Digg offers public user accounts, profiles, and participation features. Accounts are authenticated through Clerk. Administrative access is restricted to authorized personnel and is also governed by internal policies.

You are responsible for keeping your account information accurate, safeguarding your credentials, and activity you authorize through your account. Notify us promptly of unauthorized access. You must not impersonate another person or evade an account restriction or suspension. We may restrict or suspend accounts under Section 14. Our Privacy Policy explains how we process account information and how to exercise applicable privacy rights.

Accounts primarily used for spam, unsolicited promotion, scams or search-ranking manipulation may be restricted or suspended, and their content may be hidden or removed from public view. Hiding content does not necessarily erase our internal records. Retention and deletion are described in our Privacy Policy.

8. User-Submitted Content and Moderation

Digg accepts comments, profile information, and other contributions through the features made available to you. Public contributions can be seen by other people.

You retain ownership of the comments, replies and other content you submit. You are responsible for your submissions and must have the rights needed to submit them. You grant Digg a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, format, display and distribute your submissions, and to process them using automated systems and human review, as reasonably necessary to operate, secure and improve Digg. We may sublicense these rights to service providers for those purposes. This license does not override your rights under applicable privacy and data protection law.

Published comments and replies are public on Digg, including through Digg's public API and tools for connected applications. Others may copy or retain public content. Deleting a comment removes its text from public display on Digg, but does not necessarily delete copies held by others or records retained for security, moderation, legal compliance or dispute resolution. A placeholder may remain to preserve replies. Closing an account may leave previously published text visible without its account attribution. That text may still identify you if you included personal information. Our Privacy Policy explains your choices and rights. The license above continues after deletion or account closure only to the extent reasonably necessary for the continued display and retention described here and in our Privacy Policy, subject to applicable law.

8.1 Moderation

We use automated systems and human review to enforce these Terms and our community rules in Section 6. Our Community Guidelines explain how we apply these rules to comments. We may screen, delay, restrict, remove or decline to publish comments; restrict or suspend accounts; and limit or close discussions. Some moderation decisions are made automatically without prior human review. These practices are subject to applicable law.

New comments and edits may be held for screening or review before publication. While an edit is checked, the previously published version may remain visible. Reports may cause content to be screened again or temporarily hidden. Moderators may review decisions and restore or remove content.

Our systems and reviewers can make mistakes. Publication does not mean that we endorse or guarantee the accuracy, legality or safety of a comment, and we cannot guarantee that all violations will be detected.

You can report a comment using the reporting option on the website. For a moderation inquiry or a request to review a decision, contact legal@digg.com with the comment's location or your account identifier and an explanation of your concern. Do not include passwords or other account credentials. Any notice, explanation, review or appeal rights required by applicable law remain available.

9. Paid Plans

Paid subscriptions are not currently offered on Digg.

If and when Digg offers paid plans, the additional terms presented at the time of purchase (including pricing, billing cycles, automatic renewal, taxes, and refund eligibility) will apply and be incorporated into these Terms. Failure to pay may result in suspension or termination of access to paid features.

10. Intellectual Property

Digg owns the summaries, embeddings, layout, code, and brand associated with Digg, including all related intellectual property rights. The names, logos, and look and feel of Digg are trademarks of Digg Inc. You may not use any Digg trademark without our prior written permission.

Third-party content referenced or summarized on Digg remains the property of its respective owners. Digg does not claim ownership of source content.

We grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use Digg for your personal, non-commercial use, subject to these Terms. All rights not expressly granted are reserved.

11. Disclaimers

Digg is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranty of any kind, express or implied. We disclaim all warranties, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, and any warranty arising out of course of dealing, course of performance, or usage of trade.

Without limiting the foregoing, Digg does not warrant the accuracy, completeness, timeliness, or reliability of any ranking, summary, AI-generated output, third-party link, or other content. You assume all risk associated with your use of Digg.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Digg is not responsible for any content authored or controlled by third parties, including content reached through links from Digg.

12. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, in no event will Digg, its affiliates, or its personnel be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, including loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill, or other intangible losses, arising out of or relating to your use of Digg, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Digg's total aggregate liability arising out of or relating to these Terms or your use of Digg, regardless of the cause of action, will not exceed the greater of (a) one hundred U.S. dollars ($100) or (b) the amounts you paid Digg in the twelve months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the liability.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages. To the extent your jurisdiction does not permit a particular limitation, the limitations above apply to the maximum extent permitted by law.

13. Indemnification

You will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Digg, its affiliates, and its personnel from and against any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to (a) your use of or access to Digg; (b) your violation of these Terms or applicable law; (c) any content you submit to Digg; or (d) your infringement of any third-party right.

Digg reserves the right to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter for which you are required to indemnify Digg, in which case you will cooperate with Digg in asserting any available defenses.

14. Termination and Suspension

We may suspend, restrict, or terminate your access to Digg, in whole or in part, at any time, with or without notice and at our sole discretion, including for any violation of these Terms, subject to applicable law and any required notice or review rights. Suspension may hide your comments and related activity from public view and may withdraw your Diggs on posts. Reinstatement may restore hidden comments and related activity, but withdrawn Diggs on posts are not restored. Suspension is not a request to erase personal information.

Sections that by their nature should survive termination will survive, including Sections 3, 4, 5, 8 (within its stated limits), 10, 11, 12, 13, 15, and 16.

15. Governing Law and Disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.

Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or your use of Digg will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in San Francisco, California, and you and Digg consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts and waive any objection to venue in those courts.

Jury trial waiver. To the maximum extent permitted by law, you and Digg each waive the right to a trial by jury in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to these Terms or your use of Digg.

Class action waiver. You and Digg each agree to bring any dispute on an individual basis only, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any class, collective, consolidated, or representative action. The court may not consolidate the claims of more than one person.

One-year time limit. Any cause of action arising out of or relating to these Terms or your use of Digg must be filed within one year after the cause of action accrues, or it is permanently barred.

16. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. The effective date above shows when these Terms were last updated. If we make material changes, we will provide notice through Digg or other reasonable means. Your continued use of Digg after a change takes effect constitutes your acceptance of the updated Terms.
