Terms of Use

Acceptance of terms

By accessing HotNews (hotnews.pub) you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.

Content and accuracy

Articles are published for general information only. We work to keep content accurate and current, but we do not guarantee completeness, accuracy or timeliness. Content is provided "as is", without warranties of any kind. Nothing on this site constitutes professional, financial, legal or medical advice.

Intellectual property

The articles, headlines and page layout of this site are produced by the HotNews editorial desk and belong to HotNews; they are protected by copyright. Some of the images we publish are photographs or graphics whose rights remain with third parties. We do not claim those images as our own, and publishing them does not transfer their ownership to this site.

You are welcome to quote brief excerpts with a visible link to the original page. Republishing full articles, or copying content systematically, requires prior written permission.

If you believe an image on this site belongs to you and should not be published here, write to legal@hotnews.pub. The claim is compared with the records we hold for the story concerned, and the material comes down when the claim holds up.

Corrections and removals

If something published here is wrong, we want to hear about it. Correction requests, reports of a factual error, and complaints about rights — including a claim over an image — are received at legal@hotnews.pub.

Each request is compared with the records the story rested on. If the story does not hold up, it is withdrawn: the address stays live, the text is replaced by a short notice stating the reason, and the page is taken out of search indexing. We act as soon as we are able and do not promise a response time we cannot keep.

Acceptable use

You agree not to interfere with the operation of the site, not to attempt unauthorized access, and not to use automated means to inflate view counts or to scrape content at a scale that degrades the service for others.

Third-party links

Articles may reference external websites. We are not responsible for the content or practices of those websites.

Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, HotNews shall not be liable for any indirect or consequential damages arising from your use of the site.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. The date shown on this page always reflects the current version. Continuing to use the site after a change means you accept the updated terms.
