Terms of service

Last updated August 2026.


Using this site

Health Newspapers is a free, publicly accessible publication. By using the site you agree to these terms. If you don’t agree with them, the only enforceable step available to either of us is for you to stop using the site.

Not medical advice

Nothing on this site is medical advice, diagnosis, or a treatment recommendation. It is journalism about health research, policy, and practice. Decisions about your health belong with a clinician who knows your situation. See our editorial standards.

Content and AI use

Articles are drafted with AI assistance from cited primary sources, under human editorial responsibility, as described in our AI disclosure. We correct errors and keep a public record of corrections; see our corrections page.

Intellectual property

Articles, illustrations, and the games on this site are Health Newspapers’ own work unless otherwise credited. You’re welcome to link to and quote our work with attribution. Republishing full articles requires our permission.

Games and quizzes

Games and quizzes are provided for entertainment and general interest. Progress is stored locally in your browser and is not backed up by us; clearing your browser data will clear your streaks.

Advertising

Paid placements are clearly labeled as advertising or sponsored content and are never presented as independent editorial coverage. We are not responsible for the content, products, or claims of third-party advertisers or the sites their links lead to.

No warranty

The site is provided as-is. We work to keep it accurate and available, but we make no guarantee that it will be error-free, uninterrupted, or fit for any particular purpose.

Limitation of liability

To the extent permitted by law, Health Newspapers is not liable for damages arising from your use of, or inability to use, the site or its content.

Changes

We may update these terms as the site changes. Continued use after an update means you accept the revised terms.
