By accessing or using the website, visitors are expected to comply with applicable law and the lawful conditions governing the website's content and services.

Normal use includes reading articles, following links, consulting available information and sharing links to publicly accessible PlanetPress24 pages.
Users must not intentionally interfere with the website's operation or use it in ways that infringe the rights of the publisher, contributors or third parties.
- Lawful access: Use the website in compliance with applicable law and avoid activities involving fraud, harassment or unlawful conduct.

Ownership and permitted sharing
Unless otherwise indicated, the copyright and other intellectual-property rights in original PlanetPress24 content, website design, branding and related materials belong to Bigmedia24 Dynamics Ltd. or the relevant rights holders.
Some content may include licensed material, public-sector information, third-party graphics, photographs, quotations, datasets or material used under applicable legal exceptions.
The presence of such material on PlanetPress24 does not necessarily mean that the publisher owns it or can authorise further reproduction.
- Reading and ordinary browser use: You may access publicly available content and make technically necessary temporary copies associated with normal lawful browsing.
- Article links: You may ordinarily share links directing others to the original PlanetPress24 pages.
- Short quotations: Quotations may be used where permitted by applicable copyright law, including relevant conditions concerning fair dealing, attribution and purpose.
- Full republication: Reproducing substantial articles, complete images, graphics or other protected works generally requires an appropriate licence or a valid legal exception.
- Commercial reuse: Syndication, commercial redistribution, inclusion in products or services and other substantial reuse may require prior permission.
- Third-party rights: Separate copyright, database, trademark or licensing restrictions may apply to material supplied by external providers.
Automated collection, indexing and AI-related use
PlanetPress24 recognises that search engines, accessibility tools, news aggregators and automated technologies can help readers discover published information.
However, public accessibility does not automatically create a licence to copy, reproduce, train systems on or commercially redistribute protected website content.
Search engine indexing
Ordinary indexing and linking should respect applicable law, technical access controls and the website's published machine-readable instructions where relevant.
Automated extraction
Large-scale scraping or systematic extraction must not overload the service, circumvent effective restrictions or infringe copyright, database or other rights.
AI training and datasets
No general contractual licence is granted for copying protected material into commercial AI training datasets. Any applicable statutory exceptions or lawful rights are unaffected.
News aggregation
Linking to original articles is distinct from reproducing substantial editorial material. Aggregators remain responsible for respecting applicable rights.
Security testing
Automated requests must not amount to unauthorised access, exploitation, denial-of-service activity or interference with website infrastructure.
Licensing enquiries
Organisations seeking syndication, substantial content reuse or structured access may contact the publisher to discuss suitable arrangements.
Submitting information to PlanetPress24
Readers may contact PlanetPress24 with news tips, corrections, complaints, eyewitness accounts, research findings, documents or other information relevant to potential editorial coverage.
Sending material to the publisher does not guarantee publication, payment, a response, anonymity or confidential treatment.
It also does not automatically transfer copyright or establish a contract for commissioned journalism.
By voluntarily sending material for consideration, you authorise PlanetPress24 and its publisher to receive, store and internally review it for the purpose of handling the submission, subject to applicable law and our Privacy Policy. This limited permission does not automatically authorise public reproduction of protected material.
Additional permissions, licences, attribution arrangements or payment terms may be agreed separately if necessary.
General information is not professional advice
PlanetPress24 publishes international news, commentary, research-based explanations, market information and other general-interest material.
While we aim to report responsibly and maintain editorial standards, information can be incomplete, disputed, outdated or affected by developments occurring after publication.
Different types of information may also require specialist interpretation or professional assessment.
News and analysis
Reporting and analysis may develop as new evidence emerges. Early accounts of breaking events may contain uncertainty.
Financial information
Market reporting, investment commentary, prices and forecasts are not automatically personalised financial advice.
Medical information
Health reporting and educational articles do not replace diagnosis, treatment or advice from suitably qualified healthcare professionals.
Legal information
General descriptions of laws or legal developments do not constitute advice tailored to a particular legal situation.
Scientific research
Preliminary studies, hypotheses and developing findings should not be treated as conclusive evidence.
Travel and practical information
Entry requirements, transport schedules, restrictions, prices and other practical details may change without notice.
For additional information, see our Financial Disclaimer.
Information may be corrected or updated
PlanetPress24 seeks to report material facts accurately and to address substantiated editorial errors appropriately.
Articles may be revised to correct mistakes, add relevant information, clarify earlier statements or reflect new developments.
The appropriate treatment of changes depends on their significance, the nature of the original publication and the available evidence.
- Readers may report specific factual concerns and provide supporting evidence.
- The editorial team may review source material and seek clarification from relevant parties.
- Where material errors are established, an appropriate correction or clarification should be considered.
- A disagreement with an opinion or analytical conclusion does not necessarily establish a factual error.
- A request for removal does not automatically require removal of lawful public-interest reporting.
- Material corrections should be handled transparently where appropriate.
Our procedures are explained in the Corrections Policy.
Use of AI-assisted editorial technologies
PlanetPress24 may use artificial intelligence and automated digital tools to assist with research organisation, drafting, translation, summaries, data processing and other publishing activities.
Such technologies have limitations. They may generate incorrect information, misinterpret sources, produce misleading wording or fail to reflect recent developments.
Editorial responsibility remains with the publisher and the people authorised to manage publication.
AI-assisted text
AI assistance does not independently establish the truth or accuracy of a factual claim.
Automated summaries
Summaries can omit qualifications or context and may require comparison with original source material.
Synthetic illustrations
AI-generated imagery should not mislead readers into treating a fictional scene as genuine documentary evidence.
Editorial accountability
Material errors introduced by automated workflows remain subject to correction and applicable legal obligations.
Additional information appears in the AI Content Policy.
Links do not automatically mean endorsement
PlanetPress24 may link to external publications, public authorities, research organisations, social media platforms, financial-service providers, commercial websites and other third-party resources.
These external resources operate independently and may change their content, terms, prices, availability or privacy practices.
We do not control every linked website and cannot guarantee the continuing accuracy, security or availability of third-party information.
- External ownership: Linked websites and services remain subject to their respective operators and applicable terms.
- Changing content: A linked page may change or become unavailable after a PlanetPress24 article is published.
- Commercial transactions: Purchases, registrations or agreements made with third parties are generally governed by the relevant third-party provider.
- Security: Readers should exercise appropriate caution before providing sensitive information or making payments through external websites.
- Privacy: External services may apply their own data-protection notices, cookie practices and legal arrangements.
Advertising must be distinguishable from journalism
PlanetPress24 may display suitable advertising or other clearly identifiable commercial communications to support the publication.
Advertisers and commercial partners are responsible for their own products, services, claims and relevant legal obligations.
Commercial relationships do not grant advertisers the right to determine independent editorial coverage or require favourable reporting.
Clear identification
Advertising, sponsorship and paid partnerships should be recognisable as commercial material.
Editorial independence
Advertising payments must not determine factual reporting, independent investigations or editorial conclusions.
Advertising restrictions
PlanetPress24's advertising policy excludes gambling, alcohol and tobacco or nicotine promotions, including relevant indirect advertising.
Further information is available on our Advertise page.
Privacy and cookies are addressed separately
Personal data collected or processed in connection with PlanetPress24 is subject to applicable data-protection law.
Where relevant, personal information may be processed in connection with reader correspondence, editorial enquiries, corrections, security measures and website operations.
The applicable purposes, legal bases, retention arrangements and rights are addressed in our privacy documentation.
Digital services may change or become temporarily unavailable
PlanetPress24 may update its website layout, publishing systems, content categories, technical infrastructure and available features.
From time to time, access may be interrupted because of maintenance, technical failures, security incidents, external service interruptions or circumstances beyond the publisher's reasonable control.
We aim to maintain a reliable publication but do not promise uninterrupted or error-free access to every website function.
- Pages or features may be updated, reorganised or discontinued.
- Content may be temporarily unavailable during maintenance or technical incidents.
- External data feeds and embedded services may fail independently of PlanetPress24.
- Security measures may require temporary restrictions on particular requests or access patterns.
- Previously published articles may be corrected, updated or lawfully removed.
Nothing in this section removes any legal obligation or remedy that cannot lawfully be excluded.
Accuracy, reliance and legal responsibility
PlanetPress24 aims to maintain high editorial and technical standards. However, a news publication cannot guarantee that all information will remain complete, accurate or current at every moment.
Readers should exercise appropriate judgement when relying on general information, particularly where financial, legal, medical, technical or other significant decisions are involved.
To the extent permitted by applicable law, the publisher does not provide a general guarantee that the website will always be uninterrupted, free from technical errors or suitable for every individual purpose.
Any exclusion or limitation of liability is subject to applicable law, including mandatory consumer protections and liabilities that cannot lawfully be excluded.
Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability for fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation, death or personal injury caused by negligence where such exclusion is prohibited, or any other liability, duty, remedy or statutory right that cannot lawfully be excluded or restricted.
These Terms do not relieve the publisher of applicable responsibilities concerning editorial conduct, data protection, intellectual property, advertising, consumer protection or other relevant legal requirements.
Protecting the publication and its users
Where necessary and lawful, Bigmedia24 Dynamics Ltd. may take proportionate measures to protect the website, its systems, its content and other users from unlawful or abusive activity.
Such measures may include restricting harmful automated requests, blocking malicious traffic, preserving relevant security records or reporting suspected unlawful conduct to competent authorities where appropriate.
The publisher may also seek appropriate remedies for infringement of intellectual-property rights, unauthorised access or other actionable misuse.
Irish law and mandatory international protections
PlanetPress24 is published by Bigmedia24 Dynamics Ltd., a company registered in Ireland.
These Terms are intended to be governed by the laws of Ireland, subject to any mandatory rules that apply under relevant consumer-protection, private-international-law or other legislation.
Where legally permissible, disputes relating to these Terms may be brought before the competent courts of Ireland.
This does not prevent a consumer from relying on mandatory protections or jurisdictional rights available under applicable law, including rights that may arise in the consumer's country of habitual residence.
Updates to these Terms
These Terms may be revised to reflect changes in website services, publishing practices, applicable law, technology or organisational requirements.
The current version will be made available on this page. Where a change requires additional notice or consent under applicable law, those requirements must be observed.
Unless otherwise required by law or expressly agreed, revisions do not automatically remove rights or remedies that arose before the changes took effect.
If a particular provision is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions should continue to apply to the extent legally possible, without altering any mandatory rights.
