1. Our content
The stories, photos, videos, graphics, e-paper and design of News Pillar belong to us or to those who licensed them to us, and are protected by copyright.

You may not copy, republish, sell, frame or broadcast our content, or use it to train artificial intelligence systems, without our written permission.
Some stories come from news services and other publishers. They belong to their owners, and we name the original source under the headline.
2. Information, not advice
We work hard to be accurate, but news develops quickly and mistakes can happen. Our content is for general information and is not legal, medical, financial or other professional advice. Market prices, exchange rates, weather, air quality, prayer times and match scores come from outside sources and may be delayed or wrong; check them before you rely on them.
3. Your account
- You must be 18 or older, or have your parent's or guardian's consent, to create an account.
- Your account is for you alone. Give true details, keep your phone and the accounts you sign in with secure, and tell us if you think someone else has used your account.
- We may suspend or block an account that breaks these terms.
4. Comments and community rules
You are responsible for what you post. Our moderators check comments before they appear, and we may refuse or remove any comment. Do not post anything that:
- is unlawful, defamatory, obscene or pornographic, or invades someone's privacy;

By posting a comment, you allow us to publish and display it on News Pillar free of charge. You keep whatever rights you have in it. If you see a comment that breaks these rules, use its report button.
5. Polls and reactions
You may vote once in each poll and react once to each story. Poll results show what our readers chose; they are not scientific surveys.
6. Newsletters and alerts
Newsletters and breaking news alerts are free and optional. You can unsubscribe from the newsletter through the link in every email, and turn off alerts in your browser's settings.
7. Live video and e-paper
Live video and the e-paper are for personal viewing. Do not record, rebroadcast or redistribute them without our written permission.
8. Advertising and other websites
Our pages carry advertisements, including ads served by Google. Advertisers are responsible for their ads, and an ad does not mean we endorse what it offers. Links to other websites are there for your convenience; we are not responsible for their content or their privacy practices.

Do not try to break into, overload or disrupt the website; get around its limits or security; collect content or data from it with automated tools without our permission; or use our employee ID verification pages for anything other than checking a card.
