Last Updated: 02 November 2026

These Terms and Conditions govern your access to and use of the website operated by Newsare.org. By accessing or using the site you agree to be bound by these terms. If you do not agree you must leave the site immediately.

Who Operates the Site and Acceptance of the Terms

Newsare.org publishes an online entertainment magazine focused on celebrity culture and entertainment news relevant to audiences in South Africa. The site is operated from South Africa and these terms form a binding contract under South African law. Continued use of the site after any update constitutes acceptance of the revised terms. A contact form is available on the Contacts page and general enquiries may be sent to [email protected].

Eligibility and Permitted Use

You must be at least 18 years old to use interactive features such as comment sections or newsletter subscriptions. The site is intended for personal, non-commercial entertainment and information purposes. You may view articles, share links on social media and quote short excerpts provided you credit Newsare.org and include a link back to the original page. Any other reproduction or commercial exploitation requires prior written consent.

Prohibited Conduct

You must not post defamatory, obscene, hateful or unlawful material. Automated scraping, data mining or attempts to interfere with site security are forbidden. Impersonation of Newsare.org staff or other users is not permitted. Violations may result in immediate removal of content and restriction of access without notice.

Accounts, Submissions and User Content

Although customer reviews are not offered, the blog may allow registered users to submit comments or guest contributions. By submitting material you grant Newsare.org a perpetual, royalty-free licence to use, edit and display that content on the site and associated platforms. You remain responsible for ensuring your submissions do not infringe third-party rights. Newsare.org reserves the right to moderate or delete any submission at its sole discretion.

Ownership of Site Content, Trademarks and Permitted Limited Use

All articles, photographs, graphics and other material on the site are protected by South African copyright law. The name Newsare.org and associated logos are trademarks. You may not copy, modify or distribute any content beyond the limited personal-use rights described above. Any unauthorised use may lead to legal action.

Third-Party Services and Links

The site may contain links to external websites and embedded content from third-party platforms. These links are provided for convenience only. Newsare.org does not control or endorse third-party sites and accepts no liability for their content, privacy practices or availability. Use of such services is at your own risk.

Availability, Changes, Suspension and Termination

Newsare.org strives to maintain continuous access but cannot guarantee uninterrupted service. The site may be suspended for maintenance, security reasons or legal compliance. Newsare.org may modify, suspend or terminate any part of the site or these terms at any time. Upon termination your right to access the site ceases immediately.

Disclaimers Subject to Mandatory Consumer Law

While every effort is made to ensure accuracy, entertainment news and celebrity information may change rapidly. The site is provided on an as-is basis. Nothing in these terms excludes or limits any rights you may have under the Consumer Protection Act 68 of 2008 or other mandatory South African legislation.

Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Newsare.org and its directors, employees and agents shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental or consequential damages arising from your use of the site. Liability for direct losses is limited to the amount you have paid to Newsare.org in the preceding twelve months, which is typically zero for free content. This limitation does not affect non-excludable consumer rights.

Indemnity

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Newsare.org against any claims, losses or expenses arising from your breach of these terms or from content you submit. This indemnity survives termination of your access to the site.

Governing Law, Courts and Consumer Dispute Rights

These terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of South Africa. Any dispute shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the South African courts, with the High Court of South Africa, Gauteng Division, Pretoria, as the preferred venue for serious matters. Consumers retain the right to approach the National Consumer Commission or other statutory bodies for disputes falling under the Consumer Protection Act.

Severability, Waiver, Changes, Contact Route and Last-Updated Date

If any provision of these terms is found invalid, the remaining provisions continue in full force. Failure to enforce any right does not constitute a waiver. Newsare.org may update these terms periodically and will indicate the date of the latest revision at the top of this page. For questions regarding these terms please use the contact form on the Contacts page or write to [email protected]. The physical address for formal notices is 7 Arsenal Street, Weltevreden Valley, Cape Town, 7785, South Africa. This document was last updated on 02 November 2026.
