These terms govern your use of the ISU News website. By using the site you accept them. If you do not accept them, please do not use the site. We have tried to keep the language readable while remaining precise about the things that matter.
Last updated: July 2026
1. Copyright and ownership
All editorial content on this site, including articles, headlines, photographs, illustrations, charts, and the arrangement and selection of that material, is protected by copyright and owned by ISU News or licensed to us by its owner. Our name and logo are our marks.
You may read, print, and share links to our articles for personal, non-commercial purposes. You may quote a short excerpt for the purposes of comment, criticism, review, or news reporting, provided you attribute it to ISU News and link to the original article.
2. What you may not do
Without our written permission you may not republish an article in full or in substantial part, translate it, incorporate it into another publication or product, use it for commercial purposes, or present it in a way that suggests we endorse you. You may not systematically copy, scrape, mirror, or harvest content from this site, whether manually or by automated means, and you may not use our content to train or fine-tune machine learning systems without a licence from us.
You may not attempt to gain unauthorised access to the site or its infrastructure, interfere with its operation, circumvent access restrictions, introduce malicious code, or place a load on our servers that impairs service for other readers.
Requests for republication, syndication, translation, or licensed reuse are welcome. Write to permissions@isunews.com.
3. Comments and reader contributions
Where comments are enabled, you are responsible for what you post. You must not post material that is unlawful, defamatory, harassing, threatening, hateful, obscene, deceptive, infringing of someone else’s rights, or commercial spam. You must not impersonate another person or misrepresent your affiliation.
By submitting a comment you grant us a non-exclusive, perpetual, royalty-free licence to publish, store, reproduce, and remove it. We moderate at our discretion, may edit or delete any contribution, and may block accounts or addresses. We are not obliged to publish or preserve any submission, and the presence of a comment is not our endorsement of it.
4. Editorial content is not professional advice
Our articles are journalism. They are researched carefully and sourced transparently, but they are general explanatory material and not advice tailored to your circumstances. Nothing on this site constitutes legal, medical, financial, investment, tax, or other professional advice, and it should not be relied upon as a substitute for consulting a qualified professional.
Where we describe medical or health matters, consult a clinician about your own situation. Where we describe financial or market matters, we are not investment advisers and nothing published here is a recommendation to buy, sell, or hold any asset. Where we describe legal matters, laws differ by jurisdiction and change over time.
5. Accuracy and availability
We work hard to be accurate and we correct errors under our corrections policy. Even so, the site is provided as is. We do not warrant that content is complete, current, or error-free, or that the site will be available without interruption. Articles reflect the information available at the time of publication, and older pieces may have been overtaken by events.
6. Links to other sites
We link to external sources so that readers can verify our reporting. Those sites are not under our control. We are not responsible for their content, accuracy, availability, security, or privacy practices, and a link is not an endorsement. Following an external link is at your own risk and subject to that site’s own terms.
7. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, ISU News and its contributors will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, or special loss arising from your use of this site or reliance on its content, including lost profits, lost data, or business interruption, whether or not we were advised of the possibility. Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited, and some jurisdictions do not permit certain exclusions, in which case those provisions apply only to the extent permitted.
8. Indemnity
You agree to indemnify us against claims, losses, and reasonable costs arising from your breach of these terms or from material you submit to the site.
9. Advertising and commercial content
Advertisements appearing on this site are the responsibility of their advertisers. We do not verify advertisers’ claims and we are not party to transactions between you and an advertiser. Any commercial content we publish is clearly labelled and does not influence our editorial coverage, as described in our editorial guidelines.
10. Copyright complaints
If you believe material on this site infringes your copyright, write to permissions@isunews.com with sufficient detail to identify the work, the location of the material on our site, your contact information, and a statement of your good-faith belief that the use is unauthorised. We investigate all such notices and remove infringing material where a complaint is substantiated.
11. Changes to these terms
We may revise these terms and will update the date above when we do. Continued use of the site after a change constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
12. Severability and entire agreement
If any provision of these terms is found unenforceable, the remainder continues in force. These terms, together with our privacy policy, constitute the agreement between you and ISU News concerning your use of this site.
13. Contact
Questions about these terms may be sent through our contact page.
