Social media. Our accounts on X, Facebook, Instagram and YouTube are also governed by the terms of those platforms.
Reader support. If we accept donations or sponsorship, they are voluntary and do not buy editorial influence. [Add payment terms here if you collect payments.]
Changes to services. We may add, change or end any service at any time.

We will review each complaint fairly. We may correct, update, add a note to, or remove content where appropriate. Please do not make false or malicious complaints.

Our website displays advertisements and may link to third-party websites. We do not control or endorse them and are not responsible for their content, products or privacy practices. Dealings with advertisers are solely between you and them.
8. Disclaimer and Limitation of Liability
We work hard to publish accurate and timely news, but we cannot guarantee that all content is complete, error-free or up to date. The website is provided “as is” and “as available”. News in a developing region can change quickly, and our reporting should not be used as legal, financial or medical advice.
To the extent permitted by law, The Azadi Times is not liable for indirect or consequential losses arising from your use of the website, or from reliance on its content. Nothing in these terms limits any liability that cannot be limited under applicable law.

We may update these terms from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top shows the latest version. Continued use of the website after changes means you accept the revised terms. For significant changes affecting newsletter subscribers, we will notify you by email or on our website.
