Disclaimer
This site began as a personal, curiosity-driven hobby project to explore what is possible with automated news aggregation, translation, and AI-assisted rewriting. Over time, it has grown into a small service for international speed skating fans who want easier access to news that is normally available only in Dutch. We run this project because we enjoy the sport and the technology behind it, not because we aim to compete with official publishers.
We recognise that what we do sits close to the legal and moral boundaries of acceptable use. Because of that, we have made deliberate choices to reduce risk and remain respectful of the original creators.
We do not store or republish copyrighted images.
Any images you see are hot-linked directly from their original source, meaning no copies are hosted or distributed by us.
We do not claim ownership of external content.
Every article clearly references its original source through metadata and linking.
We do not republish full articles.
All text is summarised, rewritten, or translated using automated tools to avoid reproducing copyrighted material verbatim.
We do not bypass paywalls or closed platforms.
Only openly accessible public sources are processed.
We honor removal requests.
If any rights holder wants their material removed or excluded, we comply immediately.
We display ads, but only to cover operational costs.
Any ad revenue is used solely to support hosting, bandwidth, and processing expenses.
This is not a commercial business or profit-driven project.
This site is a fan-made initiative, created with respect for the sport and its community. If any part of this project raises concerns, legal, ethical, or otherwise, we invite direct contact so we can address it quickly and respectfully.
