Terms of Use

Published by Dateline Communications Private Limited Effective Date: 20 May 2026

These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the Express News services operated by Dateline Communications Private Limited ("Dateline Communications", "we", "us", or "our"), including our websites (such as expressnews.network), our Express News mobile application (the "App"), our live news channel as delivered through these platforms, and our branded pages on third-party platforms such as YouTube (collectively, the "Services").

Please read these Terms carefully. By accessing or using the Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms and by our Privacy Notice. If you do not agree, please do not use the Services.


1. About the Services

Express News provides Bengali-language news, including a live 24/7 news channel, news articles, video content, and related features. Through the App you can watch the live stream, read news content, and record and share segments of the live broadcast for personal use.

We may add, change, suspend, or remove features of the Services at any time. We may also stop providing the Services, or any part of them, at our discretion.


2. Eligibility

The Services are intended for a general audience and are not directed at children under the age of 13 (or the minimum age required in your jurisdiction). By using the Services, you confirm that you are old enough to do so under the laws that apply to you, or that you have the consent of a parent or guardian.


3. Accounts (Website Only)

The App does not require or offer user accounts. On our website, certain features may allow you to create an account. If you create an account:

  • You are responsible for keeping your login credentials confidential and for all activity that occurs under your account.
  • You agree to provide accurate information and to keep it up to date.
  • You must notify us promptly of any unauthorised use of your account.

We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms.


4. Licence to Use the Services

Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to access and use the Services for your own personal, non-commercial use.

You may download and use the App on a device that you own or control, solely for your personal use, in accordance with these Terms and the rules of the app store from which you obtained it.


5. Intellectual Property

All content made available through the Services — including news reports, articles, video, audio, graphics, logos, the "Express News" name and marks, and the design and layout of the Services — is owned by or licensed to Dateline Communications Private Limited and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual-property laws.

Except as expressly permitted in these Terms, you may not copy, reproduce, republish, broadcast, distribute, sell, license, or create derivative works from our content without our prior written permission.


6. The Recording Feature

The App allows you to record segments of the live broadcast and save them to your own device.

  • Recordings are made and stored locally on your device. We do not upload or store your recordings.
  • Recordings are provided for your personal, non-commercial use only.
  • You are responsible for how you use and share any recording. You must not use recordings in any way that infringes our intellectual-property rights or those of any third party, or that is unlawful, misleading, defamatory, or otherwise in breach of these Terms.
  • You must not edit or present recordings in a way that misrepresents Express News's reporting or falsely attributes content to us.

We reserve all rights in the broadcast content. The recording feature does not transfer any ownership of our content to you.


7. Acceptable Use

When using the Services, you agree that you will not:

  • use the Services for any unlawful purpose or in violation of any applicable law or regulation;
  • copy, scrape, harvest, or systematically extract content or data from the Services except as expressly permitted;
  • redistribute, rebroadcast, or commercially exploit our content without authorisation;
  • interfere with, disrupt, or attempt to gain unauthorised access to the Services, our servers, or any systems or networks connected to the Services;
  • introduce viruses, malware, or other harmful code;
  • circumvent, disable, or interfere with security-related features of the Services;
  • reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the App except to the extent permitted by law; or
  • use the Services in any way that could damage, disable, or impair them or interfere with any other party's use.

8. Third-Party Content, Links, and Platforms

The Services may include content from, links to, or features provided by third parties (for example, embedded video, content-delivery networks, or our pages on platforms such as YouTube and Facebook). We do not control and are not responsible for third-party content, websites, or services, and their inclusion does not imply our endorsement. Your use of any third-party service is governed by that third party's own terms and privacy policies.


9. News Content and Editorial Standards

We aim to report accurately and fairly in line with our published Editorial Guidelines. However, news is reported as events unfold, and we provide our content on an "as is" basis. We do not warrant that all content will be free from error or omission at all times. Opinions expressed in commentary or analysis are those of their authors and are identified as such.

If you believe our coverage is inaccurate or unfair, you may contact us using the details below or as set out in our Editorial Guidelines.


10. Future Paid Features

The Services are currently provided free of charge. We may, in the future, introduce paid features, subscriptions, or in-app purchases. If we do, we will make the applicable pricing and additional terms clear before you choose to purchase, and any such purchases will also be subject to the rules of the relevant app store or payment provider.


11. Disclaimers

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Services and all content are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis, without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, or non-infringement.

We do not warrant that the Services will be uninterrupted, secure, timely, or error-free, that the live stream will always be available, or that defects will be corrected. You use the Services at your own risk.


12. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Dateline Communications Private Limited and its directors, employees, and agents will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, data, goodwill, or other intangible losses, arising out of or relating to your use of (or inability to use) the Services.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits any liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law.


13. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Dateline Communications Private Limited and its directors, employees, and agents from any claims, damages, liabilities, costs, or expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your misuse of the Services, your violation of these Terms, or your infringement of any rights of a third party.


14. Suspension and Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Services, in whole or in part, at any time, with or without notice, if we reasonably believe you have violated these Terms or if we discontinue the Services. You may stop using the Services at any time. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination (including intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, and governing law) will continue to apply.


15. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Effective Date" above and post the updated Terms. Your continued use of the Services after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
