You must not use CLNN’s platform to distribute spam, malicious links, fraudulent schemes or material that knowingly infringes another person’s legal rights.
6. Editorial Content
News and editorial material published on CLNN is intended for general information and journalistic purposes.
News may develop rapidly. Information available at the time of publication may subsequently change, be corrected or be supplemented by new developments.
CLNN seeks to distinguish verified facts from allegations, claims, commentary and opinion.
Publication of a statement or allegation does not necessarily mean that CLNN endorses it.
Our editorial standards are further described in our Editorial Policy and Code of Ethics.
7. Accuracy and Corrections
CLNN makes reasonable efforts to verify information before publication.
However, we cannot guarantee that every article will always be completely accurate, complete or current.
Where a material factual error is identified, CLNN may correct, clarify or update the relevant content in accordance with our Corrections Policy.
Users who identify a potential factual error are encouraged to contact our editorial team with relevant supporting information.
8. Legal and Court Reporting
CLNN may publish reports concerning courts, legal proceedings, investigations, arrests, FIRs, charges, judgments, government actions and other legal developments.
Users should understand that:
An allegation is not a finding of guilt.
An FIR is not a conviction.
An arrest does not establish guilt.
A submission by a lawyer or party is not necessarily a finding of the court.
Legal matters may also change through appeals, subsequent orders, settlements, reviews or other proceedings.
Readers should consult the relevant official record or qualified legal professional where a legal issue directly affects them.
9. No Professional Advice
Information published on CLNN should not be treated as professional advice.
This includes information relating to legal, financial, medical, tax, regulatory, employment or other specialised matters.
If you require advice concerning your individual circumstances, you should consult a suitably qualified professional.
Use of information published on CLNN does not create a lawyer-client, doctor-patient, financial-adviser-client or other professional relationship.
10. Intellectual Property
Unless otherwise stated, CLNN’s original content and branding are protected by applicable intellectual-property laws.
This includes original articles, reports, photographs, videos, graphics, illustrations, designs, logos, trademarks and other original material.
Access to the website does not transfer ownership of any intellectual-property rights to the user.
Users may not reproduce, distribute, modify, commercially exploit or republish substantial portions of CLNN’s protected content without appropriate permission or a lawful basis.
Our Copyright Policy and Fair Use Policy provide additional information concerning permitted uses of content.
11. Sharing CLNN Content
We encourage readers to share our journalism responsibly.
You may generally share links to CLNN articles through social media, messaging platforms, email or other lawful channels.
When sharing an article, users should not alter the headline, quotation or accompanying information in a way that materially misrepresents the original report.
Sharing a link does not grant permission to copy the underlying article or visual material in full.
12. User-Submitted Content
CLNN may provide opportunities for users to submit news tips, photographs, videos, documents, comments, opinions or other material.
By submitting content, you represent that you have the necessary rights or authority to submit it and that the material does not knowingly violate applicable law or another person’s rights.
You remain responsible for the content you submit.
Submission does not guarantee publication.
CLNN may review, verify, edit, modify, reject or decline to publish submitted material based on editorial considerations.
13. News Tips and Confidential Material
Individuals may provide information to CLNN concerning matters of public interest.
Where appropriate, our newsroom may use submitted information for research, verification, investigation and reporting.
However, electronic communication cannot always be guaranteed to be completely secure.
If you intend to provide highly sensitive or confidential information, you should carefully consider the communication method you use and avoid unnecessarily including personal information belonging to others.
Where confidentiality has been expressly promised, CLNN will seek to protect the source in accordance with its editorial practices and applicable law.
14. User Comments and Contributions
Where CLNN provides comment sections or other public participation features, users are responsible for their contributions.
Comments and submissions should remain relevant and lawful.
We may remove content that is defamatory, threatening, abusive, discriminatory, fraudulent, obscene, deliberately misleading, invasive of privacy, infringing of copyright or otherwise inappropriate.
Moderation decisions are subject to editorial discretion.
15. User Responsibility
You are responsible for ensuring that information you provide to CLNN is accurate to the best of your knowledge and that you have the right to provide it.
You should not knowingly submit false allegations, forged documents, manipulated material or misleading information intended to harm another person or improperly influence editorial decisions.
Submitting material to a news organisation does not make that material automatically true or publishable.
CLNN may independently verify information before relying upon it.
16. Privacy
Your use of the CLNN website is subject to our Privacy Policy.
We may collect and process certain information when you visit or interact with our website, submit information or use particular features.
Our Privacy Policy explains how such information may be collected, used, stored, shared and protected.
17. Cookies
CLNN may use cookies and similar technologies to support website functionality, security, analytics, audience measurement and advertising where applicable.
Your use of cookies is addressed in our Cookie Policy.
Depending on your browser, location and the technologies being used, you may have options to manage or restrict certain cookies.
18. Advertising and Commercial Content
The CLNN website may contain advertising, sponsored material or other commercial communications.
Advertising and commercial relationships are intended to remain separate from independent editorial decision-making.
The presence of advertising does not mean that CLNN endorses the advertised product or service.
Similarly, advertisers and commercial partners do not automatically control the editorial treatment of news stories.
19. Third-Party Websites
The CLNN website may contain links to external websites, applications, social-media platforms, government websites, court portals or other third-party services.
These services are operated independently of CLNN.
We are not responsible for the availability, content, security, privacy practices or terms of external websites.
Users should review the terms and privacy policies of third-party services before using them or providing personal information.
20. Website Availability
We seek to keep our website accessible and functional but do not guarantee uninterrupted availability.
The website may occasionally be unavailable because of maintenance, technical problems, hosting issues, security incidents, network failures or circumstances beyond our reasonable control.
CLNN may modify, suspend or discontinue features of the website where reasonably necessary.
21. Security
Users must not attempt to compromise the security or integrity of the CLNN website.
This includes unauthorised access, hacking, malicious code, denial-of-service attacks, vulnerability exploitation, interference with servers or attempts to bypass technical restrictions.
Where you identify a potential security vulnerability, you should report it responsibly rather than exploit it.
22. Artificial Intelligence and Digital Material
CLNN may use technological tools, including artificial intelligence, for legitimate newsroom functions such as research assistance, transcription, translation, organisation and analysis.
Human editorial review remains responsible for published journalism.
We do not knowingly present fabricated quotations, invented sources, fictional events or materially misleading synthetic material as genuine information.
Where AI-generated or materially manipulated content is used in circumstances where readers could reasonably mistake it for authentic documentary material, appropriate disclosure may be provided.
23. Copyright Complaints
If you believe material published on CLNN infringes your copyright, you may contact our Legal Department.
A copyright complaint should provide sufficient information to identify the copyrighted work, the material complained of and the basis of the rights claim.
We may review the complaint and take appropriate action where warranted.
Our Copyright Policy provides further information.
24. Editorial Complaints and Corrections
Users who believe that a published report contains a material factual error may request a review.
A correction request should identify the relevant article and explain the specific factual issue, preferably with supporting evidence.
Disagreement with an editorial opinion, interpretation or unfavourable coverage does not necessarily constitute a factual error.
Correction requests are assessed independently in accordance with our Corrections Policy.
25. Disclaimer of Warranties
To the extent permitted by applicable law, the CLNN website and its content are provided without guarantees that the website will always be uninterrupted, completely error-free or continuously current.
CLNN makes reasonable efforts to maintain reliable information but does not guarantee that all content will remain accurate after publication or that every external source referred to on the website will remain available.
26. Limitation of Liability
To the extent permitted by applicable law, CLNN and its owners, editorial personnel, employees, contributors and service providers shall not be liable for losses arising solely from reliance on general information published through the website.
This limitation does not apply to liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or restricted.
Nothing in this Agreement is intended to remove any mandatory statutory rights available to users.
27. Indemnification
To the extent permitted by law, you agree to be responsible for claims, losses, liabilities or expenses arising from your unlawful use of the CLNN website, violation of this User Agreement or infringement of the rights of another person.
This provision does not affect rights that cannot legally be excluded.
28. Suspension or Termination of Access
CLNN may restrict or suspend access to particular website features where reasonably necessary to protect the website, its users, its personnel or its editorial operations.
Such action may be taken where there is suspected misuse, security abuse, unlawful conduct or violation of this Agreement.
Where applicable, this does not affect rights or remedies available under law.
29. Changes to This User Agreement
CLNN may revise this User Agreement from time to time.
Changes may be made to reflect developments in our website, services, technology, business practices or applicable law.
The revised version will be published on this page with an updated “Last Updated” date.
Your continued use of the website after changes are published may constitute acceptance of the revised Agreement, subject to applicable law.
30. Governing Law
This User Agreement shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of India, subject to applicable statutory provisions.
Subject to applicable law, disputes relating to this Agreement or use of the CLNN website shall be subject to the jurisdiction of the competent courts in Delhi, India.
Nothing in this provision is intended to prevent a user from exercising a mandatory legal right or remedy available under applicable law.
31. Severability
If any provision of this User Agreement is found to be invalid, unlawful or unenforceable, that provision will be interpreted or modified to the minimum extent necessary where legally permissible.
The remaining provisions will continue to apply to the fullest extent permitted by law.
