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.
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.
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.
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:
We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms.
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.
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.
The App allows you to record segments of the live broadcast and save them to your own device.
We reserve all rights in the broadcast content. The recording feature does not transfer any ownership of our content to you.
When using the Services, you agree that you will not:
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
These Terms are governed by the laws of India. Subject to applicable law, the courts at Durgapur, West Bengal, India, will have jurisdiction over any disputes arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services.
