These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of surprisingnewssite.com and the content, features, and services available through it (collectively, the “Site”). By using the Site, you agree to these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Site.
News and Informational Content
The Site provides news, commentary, opinion, and other general information. Opinion pieces represent the views of their identified authors. Content is not legal, financial, medical, or other professional advice, and you should not rely on it as a substitute for advice from a qualified professional.
Ownership and Permitted Use
Unless otherwise stated, the Site’s design, branding, original text, graphics, and other original material are owned by or licensed to Surprising News and are protected by copyright, trademark, and other laws. You may access the Site and share links for personal, non-commercial use. You may quote brief excerpts with clear attribution and a link to the original page where permitted by law.
You may not reproduce full articles, republish images or video, remove credits or rights notices, scrape the Site at scale, create a competing archive, sell Site content, or use Site content to train an automated system without prior written permission or another valid legal basis. Nothing in these Terms transfers any intellectual-property rights to you.
Licensed and Third-Party Material
Some articles, images, videos, quotations, or other material may be supplied by licensed publishers or other third parties. That material remains subject to the rights, attribution requirements, and restrictions of its respective owner. Source and image credits are provided where applicable. A link or embed does not imply that Surprising News owns or endorses third-party material.
Comments and Other Submissions
You remain responsible for comments and other content you submit. By submitting content for public display, you grant Surprising News a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, reproduce, format, and display it in connection with operating and promoting the Site.
Do not submit material that is unlawful, threatening, harassing, defamatory, deceptive, invasive of privacy, infringing, obscene, malicious, spam, advertising, or designed to disrupt the Site. Do not impersonate another person or publish another person’s sensitive personal information. We may moderate, edit, refuse, or remove submissions and may restrict access at our discretion, but we are not obligated to monitor every submission. First-time comments may be held for approval.
Acceptable Use
You must not attempt to gain unauthorized access; bypass security or rate limits; introduce malware; interfere with the Site or other users; probe for vulnerabilities without written authorization; use automated means that place an unreasonable load on the Site; or use information from the Site for unlawful activity.
Newsletter and Communications
If you subscribe, you authorize us to send the requested news and related publication emails. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in an email or by contacting us. Service-related messages needed to process a request may still be sent.
Third-Party Links and Services
The Site may link to or embed services operated by others, including video platforms and original news sources. We do not control and are not responsible for their availability, content, security, products, or privacy practices. Your dealings with a third party are between you and that party.
Copyright Complaints
If you believe material on the Site infringes your copyright, use our Contact page to send the page URL, identification of the protected work and disputed material, your contact information, a good-faith statement, a statement that the information is accurate and that you are authorized to act, and your physical or electronic signature. We may remove material while reviewing a complete notice and may forward the notice to the content provider.
Disclaimer of Warranties
To the fullest extent allowed by law, the Site is provided “as is” and “as available.” We do not warrant that every item is complete, current, accurate, uninterrupted, error-free, or free of harmful components. News develops quickly, and published information may be corrected or updated.
Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent allowed by law, Surprising News and its owners, staff, contributors, licensors, and service providers will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, lost profits or data, or losses arising from your use of or inability to use the Site. Nothing in these Terms excludes liability that cannot legally be excluded.
Indemnification
To the extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify and hold Surprising News harmless from claims, liabilities, damages, and reasonable costs arising from your unlawful use of the Site, your submissions, or your violation of these Terms or another person’s rights.
Suspension and Termination
We may suspend or terminate access, remove content, or take protective measures when we reasonably believe these Terms have been violated or the Site, its readers, or another person may be at risk. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination will continue to apply.
Governing Terms and Disputes
These Terms are governed by applicable United States law and the law of the jurisdiction in which Surprising News is established, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Before filing a claim, please contact us and allow a reasonable opportunity to resolve the issue informally. Mandatory consumer rights in your place of residence are not limited by this section.
Changes and Severability
We may revise these Terms by posting an updated version and changing the date above. Continued use after the effective date means you accept the revised Terms. If any provision is unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in effect. These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the complete agreement governing use of the Site unless we agree otherwise in writing.
