Agreement to Terms

By downloading, installing, accessing, or using the Oval Brief mobile application (the “App”), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service (“Terms”). If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the App.

The App is operated by Hans Luther (“we,” “our,” or “us”).

Description of Service

Oval Brief is a civic technology application that provides AI-generated summaries and analysis of executive branch actions, including executive orders, presidential memoranda, and related government documents. The App is designed to make dense government documents more accessible to everyday citizens.

Not a Government Application

Oval Brief is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by the United States Government, the Federal Register, the National Archives, or any government agency. This is an independent application providing summaries of publicly available government documents for informational and educational purposes only.

The information provided should not be construed as official government communications or interpretations.

IMPORTANT: AI-Generated Content Disclaimer

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT CONTAINS IMPORTANT LIMITATIONS REGARDING THE CONTENT PROVIDED BY THE APP.

Nature of AI-Generated Content

The App uses artificial intelligence, including large language models, to generate summaries, impact assessments, topic classifications, and other analysis of government documents (“AI Content”). You acknowledge and agree that:

  1. AI Content is not official government information. All AI Content is generated by automated systems and does not represent the official position, interpretation, or guidance of any government agency, elected official, or legal authority.

  2. AI Content may contain errors, inaccuracies, or omissions. Despite our best efforts to ensure quality, AI systems can produce incorrect, incomplete, misleading, or outdated information. This includes but is not limited to:

    • Factual errors in summaries
    • Incorrect characterization of legal effects
    • Misattribution of provisions to executive orders
    • Inaccurate impact assessments
    • Erroneous relationship mappings between documents
    • Outdated information that does not reflect subsequent amendments, revocations, or court rulings

  3. AI Content is not legal, financial, or professional advice. Nothing in the App constitutes legal advice, financial guidance, tax advice, or any other form of professional counsel. The App is for general informational purposes only.

  4. You must verify with official sources. Before relying on any information from the App for any purpose, you must independently verify such information by consulting official government sources, including the Federal Register, WhiteHouse.gov, or relevant agency websites. Links to official documents are provided for this purpose.

No Guarantee of Accuracy

WE MAKE NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, REGARDING THE ACCURACY, COMPLETENESS, RELIABILITY, SUITABILITY, OR TIMELINESS OF ANY AI CONTENT. AI systems are inherently probabilistic and may produce different outputs for similar inputs. We do not and cannot guarantee that AI Content will be error-free.

Your Responsibility

You assume full responsibility for:

  • Verifying any information before acting on it
  • Consulting appropriate professionals (attorneys, accountants, etc.) for matters requiring professional advice
  • Understanding that executive orders and government actions may be subject to ongoing litigation, amendment, or revocation not reflected in the App
  • Any decisions or actions you take based on information from the App

Official Government Content

The App displays and references content from official government sources, primarily the Federal Register. This content is in the public domain and is provided as-is. We do not modify official document text, but we cannot guarantee that official content is displayed without transmission errors.

When viewing official documents, always use the provided links to access authoritative sources directly.
