Terms of use

By using MNC News you accept the terms below. They are written to be read rather than to be skipped.

Trial operation

This site is in trial operation. The stories published here are newsroom drafts written to build and test the page templates. They describe no real person, organization or event, and must not be relied on or cited as reported fact. Do not make any decision on the basis of anything published here during this period.

Using our material

Text on this site is the work of MNC News. You may quote a reasonable extract for review, comment, teaching or news reporting, with attribution and a link to the original page. Republishing a full story, or a substantial part of one, needs written permission — ask through contact.

Photographs

Photographs are not ours. They come from Wikimedia Commons under public domain or Creative Commons licences, and their terms are set by their authors, not by us. If you want to re-use an image, follow the licence linked on the picture credits page rather than these terms.

Comments

Comments are stored in your own browser during the trial period and are visible only to you. When comments become public, the standard will be simple: argue with the story, not with the reader. Abuse, harassment and material that could identify a private individual will be removed.

Accounts

Account features are not yet connected to a server. Anything you enter stays on your device. Do not enter a password you use elsewhere, and do not treat any part of this site as secure storage.

Links out

We link to other sites where they are the source or the subject. We do not control them and are not responsible for what they publish or collect.

No warranty

The site is provided as it is, without warranty of any kind. We do not guarantee that it will be available, accurate or uninterrupted, and this is particularly true during trial operation.

Changes

These terms may change. Material changes will be described on this page rather than made silently.
