Last updated: November 4, 2026
These Terms & Conditions explain the conditions for accessing and using The News Mention, including its articles, guides, checklists, downloadable resources and other website features. In these terms, “we,” “us” and “our” refer to the operator of The News Mention, and “you” refers to a website visitor or user.
Please read these terms before using the website. If you do not agree with them, please stop using the website. Nothing in these terms excludes rights or protections that cannot lawfully be excluded.
1. About our website and content
The News Mention publishes informational content, including coverage of artificial intelligence, business software, cloud services, cybersecurity, technology policy and other subjects. We also provide practical resources such as spreadsheets, sample policies, questionnaires and operational checklists.
Our content is intended for general information and education. It does not establish a professional advisory relationship or replace advice tailored to your circumstances.
2. Professional advice and independent decisions
Articles and resources are not personalized legal, financial, tax, investment, medical, employment or cybersecurity advice. Where a decision involves specialist obligations or material risk, consult an appropriately qualified professional.
You are responsible for evaluating whether information, products, configurations or procedures are suitable for your situation. Check current official documentation, contractual terms and applicable requirements before acting.
3. Accuracy, dates and availability
We aim to publish useful and accurate information, but errors, omissions and outdated details can occur. Prices, software interfaces, product features, eligibility requirements and third-party policies may change after publication.
A publication, update or verification date identifies the context of the relevant content; it is not a promise of continuous monitoring. We may correct, update, replace or remove material without keeping every previous version publicly available.
We do not guarantee uninterrupted website access or the continued availability of any particular article, download or feature. Please report suspected errors through the contact details below.
4. Technical instructions and security guidance
Technical procedures depend on your subscription, permissions, devices, settings and service environment. A documented feature may not be available or behave identically in every account.
Only perform administrative or security actions on systems you own or are authorized to manage. Assess the effect of changes, preserve necessary data and use an appropriate test environment before applying procedures to production systems.
Descriptions of proposed tests, fictional scenarios or illustrative results must not be interpreted as evidence of independently completed testing. Refer to the methodology and limitations stated in the relevant article.
5. Downloads, spreadsheets and editable templates
Unless a resource states different terms, you may download, copy and adapt our original templates, checklists and spreadsheets for your personal use or internal business operations, including internal team training.
You may not sell, sublicense or publicly redistribute the original resource or a substantially similar version without our written permission. This does not restrict rights granted by a separate license or applicable law.
Resources are starting points. Replace placeholders, check formulas and assumptions, and adapt the material to your requirements. Sample figures, fictional vendors and example decisions are not recommendations or measured outcomes unless expressly identified otherwise.
We do not guarantee compatibility with every application, spreadsheet version or workflow. Legal and policy templates require review before adoption and do not guarantee compliance.
6. Intellectual property and permitted sharing
Rights in website material remain with the relevant rights holders. Except where separately licensed or otherwise permitted, accessing the website does not transfer ownership of its articles, graphics, branding or resources.
You may share links to our public pages and use brief attributed quotations where permitted by law. Obtain permission before reproducing full articles, substantial portions of our content or original resources for public distribution.
Third-party trademarks, product names, photographs and other materials remain subject to their owners’ rights. Their appearance on this website does not itself imply sponsorship, partnership or endorsement.
7. External links and third-party services
Our pages may link to external websites, software providers, retailers and other services. Those services operate under their own terms, privacy practices, prices and policies.
A link or mention does not mean that we control the service or have independently verified every claim it makes. Check the provider’s current terms before registering, purchasing, connecting an account or sharing information.
Unless expressly stated otherwise, purchases and agreements made with third parties are between you and that provider. We do not process their refunds, cancellations or service complaints.
8. Advertising, sponsorships and affiliate links
The website may display advertising, sponsored material or affiliate links. Where a commercial relationship requires disclosure, the relevant content should identify that relationship clearly.
If an affiliate link is used, we may receive compensation when a qualifying action or purchase occurs. Review any disclosure accompanying the recommendation or link. This general terms page does not replace disclosures required within individual content.
Advertising placement or a sponsored relationship is not a guarantee of a product’s suitability, performance or safety.
9. Acceptable use of the website
Do not use the website to:
- Carry out unlawful, fraudulent or deceptive activity.
- Attempt unauthorized access to accounts, systems or nonpublic information.
- Introduce malware or interfere with the website’s security or availability.
- Submit spam, threats, harassment or material that infringes another person’s rights.
- Misrepresent your identity, affiliation or authorization.
- Use automated access in a way that bypasses access restrictions or materially disrupts the service.
We may restrict access where reasonably necessary to address misuse, protect the website or meet applicable obligations.
10. Comments and submitted material
If you submit comments, feedback or other material through an enabled website feature, you remain responsible for its accuracy, lawfulness and permissions. Do not include information you are not authorized to disclose.
For material submitted specifically for public display, you grant us a nonexclusive permission to host, display and format it as needed to operate that feature. You retain any ownership rights you hold. This permission does not turn a private email into permission to publish it.
We may moderate or remove submissions, including spam, unlawful material and content that violates these terms. Submitting an article or proposal does not guarantee publication; separate contributor terms may apply.
11. Privacy and communications
These terms do not replace a privacy notice. Review the privacy and cookie information made available on the website for details about personal information and tracking technologies.
When contacting us, provide only the information needed for your request. Do not send passwords, payment-card security codes, API secrets or confidential customer records through ordinary email.
12. Warranties and limitations of liability
To the extent permitted by applicable law, the website and its resources are provided on an “as available” basis without a guarantee that they will meet every requirement, remain error-free or produce a particular result.
To the extent permitted by law, we are not responsible for losses arising from reliance on general content, changes made to your systems, unsuitable use of a template, third-party services or interruptions outside our reasonable control.
These provisions do not exclude or limit liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited, including liability for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation and any mandatory consumer protections.
13. Changes to these terms
We may update these terms to reflect changes to the website, resources or applicable requirements. The revised date will appear at the top of this page. Where required, we will provide additional notice or obtain agreement before a material change takes effect.
