Last updated: August 21, 2026

1. Agreement to terms

These Terms of Use are a binding agreement between you and Morning News Watch. By accessing the website or subscribing to the newsletter, you agree to these terms and to our Privacy Policy. You must be at least 16 years old and have the legal capacity to enter into this agreement.

2. License and access

We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access the website and newsletter for personal, non-commercial use. You may read, share links to, and quote brief excerpts of our content with attribution. You may not reproduce, republish, or distribute our content commercially, or create derivative works from it, without our prior written permission.

3. Platform protection

You may not attempt to gain unauthorized access to our systems, servers, databases, or administrative areas; probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of our systems; circumvent security or authentication measures; or interfere with the operation of the services.

4. Content and intellectual property

The website, newsletter, and all original content, design, and branding are our property or licensed to us and are protected by copyright, trademark, and other laws. Our articles cite and link to third-party sources; those underlying works remain the property of their respective owners.

5. Prohibited activities

You agree not to: scrape, harvest, or bulk-download our content; use our content to train artificial intelligence models without our written permission; use our services for any unlawful purpose; impersonate us or others; send spam or introduce malware; or misuse our forms, including submitting false subscription or privacy requests on behalf of others.

6. Newsletter subscription

By subscribing you consent to receive our email newsletter, which may include advertising and sponsored content. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in every email or our unsubscribe page. We log subscription and unsubscribe events (including date, time, IP address, and user agent) as described in our Privacy Policy.

7. Third-party links and services

Our content links to third-party websites, including the news sources we cite and advertiser sites. We do not control and are not responsible for third-party content, products, or services.

8. Disclaimers

The services and all content are provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, express or implied. While accuracy is central to our editorial process, news develops quickly and we do not warrant that content is complete, current, or error-free. Nothing on this site constitutes professional, legal, financial, or investment advice.

9. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of the services. Our total aggregate liability for any claim relating to the services will not exceed one hundred U.S. dollars ($100).

10. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold us harmless from claims, damages, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from your use of the services or your violation of these terms.

11. Dispute resolution

Any dispute arising from these terms or the services will be resolved by binding individual arbitration, and you waive the right to participate in a class action, except where such a waiver is prohibited by law. Either party may instead bring qualifying claims in small-claims court.

12. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the United States and the state in which we operate, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.

13. Copyright complaints

If you believe content on our services infringes your copyright, send a notice with the identification of the work, the allegedly infringing material, your contact information, and a good-faith statement to our contact address. We respond to valid notices consistent with the DMCA.

14. Termination

We may suspend or terminate access to the services, or discontinue the services, at any time. Sections of these terms that by their nature should survive termination will survive.

15. Changes to these terms

We may modify these terms from time to time by updating this page and its date. Continued use after changes take effect constitutes acceptance.

16. Severability and entire agreement

If any provision of these terms is found unenforceable, it will be modified to the minimum extent necessary, and the remainder will remain in effect. These terms and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between you and us regarding the services.
