Terms of Service
This page is maintained by The Global Wire to explain the rules that apply when you use our website, newsletters and content. It is not legal advice; if you need advice for your own situation, please consult a qualified attorney.
1. Agreement to terms
By accessing or using The Global Wire website, mobile view, RSS feeds or newsletters, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, please do not use our services. We may update these terms from time to time; the current version is always available on this page.
2. Our content and how you may use it
The Global Wire publishes original news writing that rewrites and contextualises reporting from other credited outlets. You may read, share links to, and quote short excerpts for personal, educational or editorial purposes, provided you include clear attribution and a link back to the original article page. You may not republish full articles, scrape our content systematically, or resell our feeds without written permission.
3. Intellectual property
Our original writing, design, code and branding are the property of The Global Wire or its licensors. Headlines and excerpts from third-party sources remain the property of their respective publishers and are credited and linked on every article. Nothing in these terms grants you a licence to our trademarks or to reproduce our content beyond the limited uses described above.
4. User conduct
You agree not to use the site to distribute malware, spam, abusive content or unlawful material; to interfere with our servers or networks; or to attempt to access restricted areas of the site. We may suspend or block access for behaviour that violates these rules or harms other users.
5. Newsletters and accounts
When you subscribe to a newsletter, we collect and store your email address and section preferences so we can send the digest you requested. You can update your preferences or unsubscribe at any time using the link in every email or on the newsletter management page. We do not sell or rent subscriber lists.
6. Advertising
The Global Wire displays advertising served through Google AdSense and similar programmatic networks. Advertisements are clearly separated from editorial content. We do not accept paid placements presented as journalism, and advertisers do not influence our coverage. Ad personalisation is controlled by your consent choices via the cookie banner.
7. Disclaimers
We aim for accuracy, but we do not guarantee that every article is complete, error-free or up to date at the moment you read it. News changes quickly; material corrections are made promptly and noted on the article where appropriate. Use our content at your own risk.
8. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, The Global Wire and its operators will not be liable for any indirect, incidental or consequential damages arising from your use of the site or reliance on its content.
9. Governing law and disputes
These terms are governed by the laws of the United States and the State of Delaware, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute will be resolved in the courts located there.
10. Contact us
Questions about these terms can be sent to the newsroom. For legal correspondence, please include 'Legal' in the subject line and we will route your message to the appropriate desk.
