Terms of Service

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the website at cubednews.com and its content (together, the “Service”), operated by Cubed News (“we”, “us”, “our”). By accessing or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree with them, please do not use the Service.

1. Use of the Service

Cubed News provides journalism, analysis, and explanatory content for general information. You may read, link to, and share our content for personal, non-commercial purposes, and you may quote brief excerpts with clear attribution and a link back to the original page, consistent with fair dealing and fair use.

You agree not to use the Service in any way that is unlawful or that could damage, disable, or impair it. In particular, you agree not to: scrape, harvest, or systematically download our content at scale without our written permission; republish whole articles or substantial portions of them elsewhere; use automated tools to overload our infrastructure; attempt to gain unauthorised access to any part of the Service; or use our content to train commercial machine-learning models without a licence. We reserve the right to restrict or terminate access for anyone who breaches these Terms.

2. Intellectual Property

All content published on Cubed News — including articles, headlines, photographs, illustrations, graphics, the “Cubed News” name, the tagline “Daily News, Reframed.”, logos, and the overall look and feel of the site — is owned by or licensed to us and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual-property laws. Nothing in these Terms transfers any ownership to you. You may not reproduce, distribute, modify, or create derivative works from our content except as expressly permitted above or with our prior written consent.

If you submit material to us — for example a pitch, a letter, a correction, or a contribution — you confirm that you have the right to do so and you grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to use, edit, and publish it in connection with the Service. We describe how submissions are handled on our contributor and contact pages.

3. Accuracy and the Nature of Our Content

We work hard to be accurate, fair, and well-sourced, and we correct errors promptly when they are brought to our attention. Even so, our content is provided for general information and analysis. It reflects our editorial judgement and the state of knowledge at the time of publication, and it may become out of date. The Service is not a substitute for professional advice. Please read our Disclaimer, which forms part of these Terms, before relying on anything you read here.

4. Third-Party Links and Advertising

The Service contains links to third-party websites and may display advertising. We provide links for convenience and reference; we do not control those sites and are not responsible for their content, accuracy, or practices. The inclusion of a link or an advertisement is not an endorsement. Your dealings with any third party — including any purchase — are solely between you and that third party.

5. Disclaimers

The Service is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, to the fullest extent permitted by law. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or free of harmful components, or that any information on it is complete, current, or fit for a particular purpose. You use the Service at your own risk.

6. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Cubed News and its editors, contributors, and service providers will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, data, goodwill, or other intangible losses, arising out of or relating to your use of, or inability to use, the Service. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits any liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence or for fraud.

7. Indemnity

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Cubed News and the people who work on it from any claim or demand, including reasonable legal costs, arising from your breach of these Terms or your misuse of the Service.

8. Changes to These Terms

We may revise these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will update the page and, where the change is material, indicate that it has been revised. Your continued use of the Service after a change takes effect means you accept the updated Terms.

9. Governing Framework and Contact

These Terms are intended to operate alongside the laws applicable to a publication of general circulation. Any dispute will be handled in good faith and, where it cannot be resolved informally, under the applicable law and the jurisdiction of the courts competent to hear it. If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in full force.
