Terms of Use
The terms on which APLive News is made available to you, including acceptable use, intellectual property, disclaimers and limits of liability.
Last updated: 15 September 2026
1. These terms
These Terms of Use govern your use of aplivenews.com and anything made available through it (the “Site”). By accessing or using the Site you agree to them. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site. They incorporate our Privacy Policy, Editorial Standards and Corrections Policy, each of which forms part of this agreement.
2. Changes
We may amend these terms by posting a revised version with a new date. Changes take effect when posted and apply to use of the Site after that point; where a change is material we will give reasonable prominent notice. Continuing to use the Site after a change means you accept it.
3. Who may use the Site
You must be at least 16 and legally capable of entering a binding agreement. You must not use the Site where doing so would breach the law that applies to you, and you are responsible for determining whether it does.
4. Licence to use our content
We grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to access and read the Site. That licence does not permit you to:
- reproduce, republish or redistribute substantial parts of the Site;
- use the Site or any part of it commercially without our written permission;
- scrape, harvest or systematically extract content, or extract it at a scale that burdens our servers;
- use the Site or its content to train, fine-tune or evaluate a machine learning model without our written permission;
- frame or mirror the Site, present it as your own, remove any attribution, or misrepresent your identity or affiliation.
Short quotations for reporting, criticism, comment or teaching are welcome with a clear credit and a link to the original article.
5. Acceptable use
You must not attempt to gain unauthorised access to the Site or any connected system, interfere with its operation or security, impose an unreasonable load on it, introduce malicious code, circumvent any access control or rate limit, or use the Site to send unlawful, defamatory, infringing, harassing or deceptive material.
6. Intellectual property
Unless stated otherwise, the text on this Site is our work and remains our property, protected by copyright and other rights. Photographs and other images may be licensed from third parties and carry their own terms; a credit on an image transfers no right in it to you. Trade marks appearing on the Site belong to their owners and their use implies no endorsement or association.
7. Material you send us
If you send us a tip, a pitch, a correction or any other material, you confirm it is yours to send and does not infringe anyone's rights, and you grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to publish and edit it in connection with the Site. We may decline, edit or remove anything unlawful, misleading, abusive or off topic. How we treat correspondence about a story is set out in our Privacy Policy.
8. Journalism, not advice
Our journalism is published as information. Nothing on this Site is legal, financial, medical, tax or investment advice, it is not tailored to you, and it creates no professional relationship. You should not act on it without taking advice appropriate to your circumstances from someone qualified in your jurisdiction.
9. Accuracy and corrections
We take care to publish accurate reporting and we correct errors under our Corrections Policy. News moves; an article reflects the position at its date, we do not undertake to update every page, and its presence here is not a representation that its contents remain current.
10. Third-party content and links
We link to and quote third parties where it helps our readers. Quoting a person or organisation reports what they said; it does not endorse it. We do not control linked sites and are not responsible for their content, products, services, accuracy, security or privacy practices.
11. Availability
The Site is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. We do not warrant that it will be uninterrupted, timely, error-free or secure, and we may change, suspend or withdraw all or part of it at any time without notice.
12. Disclaimer of warranties
To the fullest extent permitted by law we exclude all representations, warranties, conditions and terms, express or implied, including any implied warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, completeness or non-infringement.
13. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law we shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, punitive or exemplary loss, nor for any loss of profit, revenue, business, opportunity, goodwill, anticipated saving or data, arising out of or in connection with your use of, or inability to use, the Site or anything you rely on from it — whether in contract, tort (including negligence), breach of statutory duty or otherwise. Where liability cannot lawfully be excluded, our total aggregate liability is limited to one hundred United States dollars (USD 100).
Nothing in these terms excludes or limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for any other liability that cannot lawfully be excluded. If you are a consumer, these terms do not affect your statutory rights.
14. Indemnity
You agree to indemnify us against any claim, loss, liability, cost or expense (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your breach of these terms, your misuse of the Site, or your infringement of a third party's rights.
15. Suspension
We may restrict or withdraw your access at any time, without notice, if we reasonably consider that you have breached these terms.
16. General
If any provision is held unenforceable the remainder continues in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of it. You may not assign your rights under these terms; we may assign ours to a successor to the publication. These terms are the entire agreement between us regarding the Site.
17. Governing law and jurisdiction
These terms and any dispute arising out of them, including non-contractual disputes, are governed by the laws of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction — except that if you are a consumer resident elsewhere you keep the benefit of any mandatory protections and the right to bring proceedings in the courts of your country of residence.
