Access to HumanCrisisNews
HCN provides news, journalism, analysis, information, and related digital content for general informational and public-interest purposes. We may add, modify, suspend, or remove website features, sections, articles, services, or other content as our website and editorial operations develop.
Access to the website does not create an employment, agency, partnership, professional-advisory, or other special relationship between you and HumanCrisisNews unless expressly established through a separate written agreement.
You are responsible for using the website in a lawful and responsible manner. You should not use HCN in a way that interferes with the operation or security of the website, attempts to gain unauthorized access, damages website systems, or violates applicable law or the rights of other people.
News Content, Accuracy and Editorial Information
HumanCrisisNews works to publish information that is accurate, responsibly sourced, and appropriately presented. News can develop quickly, and information available at the time of publication may later change, be corrected, updated, or placed in additional context.
HCN content is provided for general informational purposes and should not automatically be treated as professional legal, medical, financial, investment, security, employment, or other specialized advice. Where a matter requires professional advice or a decision with significant personal or financial consequences, readers should consult an appropriately qualified professional.
HCN may distinguish reporting from analysis, commentary, opinion, or information attributed to other people and organizations. The publication of a claim, allegation, statement, or third-party position does not necessarily mean that HCN independently endorses or guarantees that claim. Readers should consider the context, sourcing, date, and nature of the material they are reading.
Intellectual Property and Permitted Use
The HumanCrisisNews website and its original editorial materials, including articles, written content, graphics, logos, design elements, photographs, videos, audio, and other original materials, may be protected by copyright, trademark, or other applicable intellectual-property laws. Ownership of third-party material remains with the respective rights holder.
Unless otherwise stated or permitted by applicable law, you may access, read, share, and link to HCN content for personal, informational, educational, or ordinary social-media purposes, provided that the content is not misleadingly altered or presented as originating from another person or organization.
You may not reproduce, republish, distribute, sell, systematically copy, scrape, modify, create derivative works from, or commercially exploit substantial portions of HCN content without appropriate permission where permission is required. Nothing in these Terms transfers ownership or intellectual-property rights from HumanCrisisNews or its licensors to a website visitor.
Permitted Use: Personal reading, sharing links, educational reference, and ordinary social-media sharing are generally allowed. Commercial reproduction, scraping, or systematic copying may require permission under applicable law. Legitimate search-engine indexing and other authorized automated access necessary for the normal operation of the internet are not prohibited by this section.
User Submissions, Tips and Communications
HCN may provide channels through which readers can submit story tips, corrections, comments, inquiries, applications, feedback, documents, or other communications. Submitting information to HCN does not guarantee publication, a response, attribution, confidentiality, or use of the material.
You are responsible for ensuring that information you submit is accurate to the extent reasonably known to you and that you have the right to provide the material. You should not knowingly submit fraudulent, unlawful, malicious, defamatory, threatening, or intentionally misleading material.
Submitting a tip or communication does not establish a journalist-source relationship, confidentiality arrangement, legal representation, or other special obligation unless HCN has expressly agreed to such an arrangement. Readers should avoid sending highly sensitive personal information through ordinary website forms unless it is genuinely necessary for the purpose of the communication.
Our handling of personal information submitted through the website is described in our Privacy Policy.
Reader-Submitted Material: When you submit a story tip, photograph, document, comment, or other material to HCN, you retain any rights you already own unless a separate written agreement states otherwise. By submitting material, you authorize HCN to review it for editorial, verification, moderation, and response purposes. HCN will not treat submission alone as an unrestricted transfer of copyright or as automatic permission for every form of publication or commercial reuse. If HCN wishes to publish or otherwise use submitted material, any additional permission needed will be obtained or established as required by the circumstances and applicable law.
Prohibited and Abusive Use
You may not use HumanCrisisNews to interfere with the website, attempt unauthorized access, introduce malicious code, overload or disrupt systems, circumvent security measures, scrape or systematically extract content in a manner that is not permitted, impersonate HCN or another person, or use the website for unlawful activity.
You must not use HCN content or website features to facilitate fraud, harassment, threats, abuse, deception, unlawful discrimination, or other conduct prohibited by applicable law. You must also not deliberately manipulate or misrepresent HCN content in a way that falsely suggests that HumanCrisisNews published, endorsed, or verified something that it did not.
HCN may take reasonable steps to protect the website, its systems, its readers, and its editorial operations from misuse or security threats.
Prohibited: Scraping, unauthorized access, malicious code, impersonation, fraud, harassment, and deliberate misrepresentation of HCN content are strictly prohibited.
Third-Party Websites, Advertising and External Services
HumanCrisisNews may contain links to external websites, social-media platforms, advertisements, embedded content, videos, tools, or other services operated by third parties. These external services are not necessarily controlled by HCN, and their availability, content, security, privacy practices, and terms may change independently.
A link, advertisement, sponsorship, embedded feature, or reference to an outside organization does not by itself constitute an endorsement, guarantee, or recommendation by HumanCrisisNews unless HCN expressly states otherwise. Readers should evaluate third-party services independently and review their applicable terms and privacy policies before using them.
Third-party advertising or technology may also be displayed on HCN. Advertising relationships and technical providers may change over time, and their services may operate under separate terms and privacy practices.
Copyright Concerns and Requests
If you believe that material available on HumanCrisisNews infringes your copyright or other intellectual-property rights, please contact us through our Contact Us page.
Please include the URL of the material, a description of the work concerned, your contact details, and sufficient information to explain your concern. Please provide accurate information and identify yourself as the rights holder or an authorized representative.
HCN may review the request and take appropriate action where warranted. Any formal notice or counter-notice process required by applicable law will be handled in accordance with that law.

Advertising, Sponsorships and Affiliate Relationships
HumanCrisisNews may display advertising or publish clearly identified sponsored content and may use affiliate links where applicable. Advertising, sponsorships, and affiliate relationships do not automatically determine our editorial conclusions or guarantee positive coverage of a company, product, service, or organization.
Where disclosure is required, HCN will make reasonable efforts to identify paid or commercial relationships clearly. Readers should review the relevant disclosure and the third party’s own terms before making a purchase or using an external service.
Commercial Disclosure: Editorial decisions remain independent of advertising and commercial relationships. Where content is paid for, sponsored, or contains affiliate links, HCN aims to identify the commercial nature of that material where applicable law or platform policy requires.
Disclaimers and Limitation of Responsibility
HumanCrisisNews makes reasonable efforts to maintain useful, accurate, and accessible information, but the website and its content are provided on an “as available” basis. HCN does not guarantee that every article, page, feature, link, service, or piece of information will always be complete, current, uninterrupted, error-free, or available.
To the extent permitted by applicable law, HumanCrisisNews is not responsible for losses or damages arising from reliance on website content, interruptions or unavailability of the website, technical failures, third-party websites or services, or changes to information after publication. Nothing in these Terms is intended to exclude or limit any liability, right, or protection that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited under applicable law.
For additional information about the nature and limitations of HCN content, readers should also review our Disclaimer.
Changes to the Website and These Terms
HumanCrisisNews operates in a changing digital and editorial environment. We may update, replace, modify, suspend, or discontinue parts of the website, its content, features, or services when reasonably necessary for editorial, technical, operational, legal, security, or business reasons.
We may also revise these Terms of Use when our website, services, technology, legal obligations, or operating practices change. When material changes are made, we will update this page and revise the “Last Updated” date where appropriate.
Readers are encouraged to review this page periodically, particularly when using new features or services.
Applicable Law and Disputes
These Terms are subject to applicable law. The law governing these Terms and the courts or dispute-resolution procedures that may apply are determined in accordance with the legally relevant circumstances and any mandatory protections that apply to a reader or other party.
Nothing in these Terms is intended to remove a legal right or protection that cannot lawfully be waived or restricted. Where necessary, HCN may provide additional jurisdiction-specific terms or notices.
Important: If you have a legal concern about these Terms or their application, you are encouraged to seek independent legal advice. Different jurisdictions may provide different rights and protections that cannot be waived by these Terms.
Contact, Governing Rules and General Terms
If you have a question about these Terms, believe content or website use raises a legal or policy concern, or need clarification about how these Terms apply, you can contact HumanCrisisNews through our Contact Us page.
These Terms are intended to be interpreted consistently with applicable law. If a particular provision is found to be unlawful, invalid, or unenforceable in a particular jurisdiction, that provision will apply only to the extent legally permitted, and the remaining provisions will continue to operate to the extent permitted by law.
These Terms, together with the other policies expressly referenced on the HCN website, describe the general rules governing use of HumanCrisisNews. Where a separate written agreement or legally required notice applies to a particular service or relationship, that agreement or notice may govern the relevant matter to the extent applicable.
