Terms of Service
Last updated September 1, 2026
1. The service
Go Big News (https://www.gobignews.com) is a software discovery, review, and business-news publication operated by Adnovation Technologies LLC. We use AI to organize and explain software information and public user feedback. Ratings, review totals, prices, features, and other product details are informational estimates and may change or be incomplete. Companies receive public profiles, can verify their domains to claim those profiles, and can publish official Company News. Public X profiles may be listed, and the controller of the matching X account may claim one and publish Profile News. We also publish Staff News. By using the site, you accept these terms. If you use it for a company, you confirm that you are allowed to act for that company.
2. Accounts and publisher claims
Signing in requires a valid email address. Claiming a company profile requires proving control of that company's web domain through the verification methods we provide. We may revoke claims obtained through false or expired verification, and we may merge duplicate profiles of the same company.
Claiming an X profile requires connecting the matching X account. This verifies account control only, not legal identity, occupation, employment, affiliation, or the truth of later submissions. We may revoke abusive or improperly obtained claims.
3. Publishing Company and Profile News
Publishing Company or Profile News is free. Submissions may be reviewed before or after publication, and we may decline, edit for standards, or remove content that violates these terms or our editorial policy. This publication covers positive and neutral business developments; we do not publish attacks, unverifiable claims, or content you do not have the right to publish. Published stories receive permanent URLs; material errors are handled through corrections rather than silent edits.
You retain ownership of content you publish and grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive license to host, display, distribute, and excerpt it as part of operating the publication. You are responsible for the accuracy of what you publish and warrant that you hold the necessary rights, including for uploaded images.
4. Paid promotion
Paid features buy distribution, never coverage. A Story Boost is a fixed-price promotional placement: it adds ranking strength to a specific published story wherever that story is eligible to rank, and that strength decays on the published schedule until the promotion window ends. Publishing Power is the permanent dollar amount a company has purchased through promotion or direct payment. It remains with the company and strengthens future articles. A Story Boost gives its article five times the temporary strength that the same dollar amount of Power gives a new article. It also adds the ordinary permanent Power amount to the company or profile that published the story. A Story Boost bought while publishing is called a Launch Boost. All prices are shown before payment. Stripe processes payments for us, and we never see or store card numbers. Receipts or card statements may show Adnovation Technologies LLC.
Profile Power is paid Power for a public X profile. It strengthens Profile News the profile publishes in the future, but does not rank the listing on the Founder or All tabs; those lists use readership. “Founder” is a leaderboard category, not our verification or assertion that the listed person is a founder. Go Big News is not affiliated with X. Anyone may buy Profile Power; no X login, ownership, or affiliation is required. A listing or payment does not grant control over the profile, verify identity, imply endorsement, buy coverage, guarantee coverage, or provide publishing access. Publishing requires a separate verified claim. Profile Power cannot be transferred to a company or used for Company News. We may hide or correct listings that are irrelevant, misleading, abusive, or no longer resolve to the intended public profile.
Paid promotion never buys editorial approval, favorable coverage, protection from corrections, or placement in editorial products such as Most Read. Publishing Power is a non-consumable platform upgrade. It cannot be spent, redeemed for money, or transferred between customers (when duplicate profiles of the same company are merged, it follows the company). Publishing Power and Profile Power may be corrected when required by fraud review, abuse prevention, or violation of these terms.
5. Refunds
Promotion begins immediately after payment, so completed promotion is generally non-refundable. Exceptions: if a story attached to a Boost is rejected in review and not published, the Boost is refunded in full; and if we fail to deliver a purchased promotion, contact us and we will refund it. Nothing here limits rights you hold under applicable consumer law. Refund requests: support@gobignews.com.
If a public X profile is already ineligible when its payment completes, we issue a full refund. If a listing is hidden later for moderation or after a removal request, earlier Profile Power payments are not automatically refunded because the promotion began immediately. A later refund, payment reversal, or dispute also does not automatically alter previously delivered Publishing Power or Profile Power. We may adjust promotional records to prevent fraud or abuse. Contact us if you believe a payment should be reviewed as an exception.
6. Acceptable use
You may not impersonate a company or person, claim a profile you are not authorized to manage, publish false or misleading information, attempt to manipulate readership metrics or rankings outside the paid features we offer, or interfere with the site's operation or security.
7. Disclaimers and liability
The site is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind. Rankings, readership figures, and coverage are provided for general information and are not investment, legal, or professional advice. To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total liability arising from the service is limited to the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the claim arose.
8. Changes and contact
We may update the service and these terms; material changes will be reflected on this page with a new date. Continued use after a change constitutes acceptance. Questions: support@gobignews.com.
