Last updated: October 9, 2026
These Terms of Service govern your access to and use of US News Zone (usnewszone.com), published by 24World Media. By accessing or using this website, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, do not use the site. We may revise these terms; your continued use after a revision takes effect constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
1. The service
US News Zone provides news articles, video pages, photography and related editorial content for general information. Content is provided as journalism, not as professional advice. Nothing on this site constitutes legal, medical, financial or other professional advice, and you should consult a qualified professional for advice about your specific circumstances. Health content is informational only and is never a diagnosis or treatment recommendation.
2. Intellectual property
Unless otherwise credited, the content of this site, including text, design, logos and compilations, is owned by or licensed to 24World Media and is protected by United States and international copyright and trademark law. Photographs credited to third-party archives remain the property of their licensors and are used under the licences stated in their captions. You may read, share links to, and quote brief excerpts of our content with attribution and a link to the original, as permitted by fair use. You may not republish full articles, scrape the site systematically, remove credits, or use our content to train machine-learning systems without written permission, except where applicable law permits otherwise.
3. Acceptable use
You agree not to use this site unlawfully; not to attempt to breach its security, overload its systems, or interfere with other readers’ access; not to submit false information through our forms; not to impersonate any person; and not to use automated systems to collect content or data from the site beyond ordinary indexing by recognized search engines that follow our robots directives. We may suspend or block access for violations.
4. User submissions
Messages sent through our contact form, tips, comments where enabled, and other submissions remain your responsibility. By submitting material, you grant us the right to review it, to use information from it in our reporting with appropriate verification and source protection, and to store it as described in our Privacy Policy. Do not submit material you do not have the right to share. We are not obliged to publish, reply to, or retain any submission.
5. Advertising and third-party links
This site may display advertising and links to third-party websites and embedded content, including videos hosted by third parties. We do not control, endorse or accept responsibility for third-party sites, products or services, and your dealings with them are solely between you and the third party. Advertising is labelled as such and does not constitute endorsement.
6. Accuracy and corrections
We work to verify everything we publish and we correct errors under our published Corrections policy. However, news evolves, and we do not warrant that content is complete or current at the moment you read it. Figures, prices, schedules and results may change after publication.
7. Disclaimer of warranties
The site and its content are provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement, to the fullest extent permitted by law.
8. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, 24World Media, US News Zone, and their staff and contributors will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential or punitive damages, or loss of profits, arising from your use of or inability to use this site or reliance on its content. Our aggregate liability for any claim arising from the site will not exceed one hundred United States dollars. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot lawfully be limited.
9. Indemnity
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless 24World Media and US News Zone from claims, damages and expenses, including reasonable legal fees, arising from your violation of these terms or misuse of the site.
10. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Illinois and applicable federal law of the United States. Disputes arising from these terms or the site will be brought in the state or federal courts located in Illinois, and you consent to their jurisdiction, unless applicable law requires otherwise.
11. Changes and contact
We may update these terms and will post the revised version at this address with a new effective date. Questions about these terms may be sent through the form on our Contact page to US News Zone, 24World Media, 1411 N Sterling Ave, Palatine, IL 60067.
12. Comments and community features
Where comments or other community features are enabled on this site, you remain responsible for what you post. By posting, you agree not to post unlawful, defamatory, harassing, threatening, discriminatory or infringing material, personal information about others, spam, or material that impersonates any person. We may moderate, edit for length or clarity where a feature permits, or remove comments at our discretion, and we may suspend posting privileges for violations, without any obligation to publish or retain any comment. Comments reflect the views of their authors and not of US News Zone or 24World Media. Do not rely on comments for information; our reporting is the content we stand behind.
13. News tips and materials you send us
Materials sent to us as news tips, including documents and media, are received for journalistic evaluation. Submitting material does not guarantee publication, payment or return of the material. You should keep your own copies of anything you send. Where we agree to protect the identity of a source, that agreement is honored as described in our Code of Ethics; no term in this document overrides a source-protection commitment made by our newsroom. Do not send us material that you are not legally entitled to share, and understand that reporting based on submitted material remains subject to our independent verification.
14. Availability and changes to the site
We may change, suspend or discontinue any part of this website, including sections, features and archives, at any time. We may also impose limits on certain features. We will use reasonable efforts to keep the site available, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation, and we are not liable for delays or failures caused by events beyond our reasonable control, including failures of hosting, network or third-party providers.
15. Copyright complaints
If you believe that content on this site infringes your copyright, you may notify us through the Contact page with: your contact details; identification of the copyrighted work you claim has been infringed; identification of the material on this site that you claim is infringing, with its address; a statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent or the law; and a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act for the owner. On receiving a compliant notice, we will act expeditiously to remove or disable access to the material as the law requires. Repeat infringers’ access may be terminated where appropriate.
16. Termination of access
We may suspend or terminate your access to this site, in whole or in part, if we reasonably believe you have violated these terms, misused the site, or created risk for the site, other users or us. Sections of these terms that by their nature should survive termination, including intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability and governing law, will survive.
17. Miscellaneous
These terms, together with our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding this website and supersede prior understandings about its use. If any provision of these terms is held unenforceable, that provision will be modified only as necessary to make it enforceable, or severed, and the remaining provisions will continue in full effect. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of it or of any other provision. You may not assign your rights under these terms; we may assign ours in connection with a transfer of this publication or our business. Headings are for convenience only and do not affect interpretation. Notices to us under these terms should be sent through the Contact page or by mail to US News Zone, 24World Media, 1411 N Sterling Ave, Palatine, IL 60067.
18. Severability of content and third-party rights
Certain content on this site is provided by third parties, including licensors, partners and embedded-media providers, and is subject to those parties’ own terms in addition to these. Nothing in these terms grants you any right in third-party content beyond what its owner permits. If any part of a page on this site, including an embed, link or advertisement, is unavailable, unlawful or removed, the remainder of the page and of these terms is unaffected.
19. Questions about specific content
Questions about the meaning, availability or reuse of particular articles, photographs or videos should be directed through the Contact page with the address of the item in question. Licensing enquiries for republication of our reporting are handled as described on our Services page, and no permission for republication should be assumed from the absence of a reply. For clarity, sharing a link to our content, and quoting brief excerpts with attribution and a link as permitted by applicable law, require no permission; systematic republication always does.
