Terms of use
Last updated: October 2026
These terms apply to Local Gazette US (https://localgazette.news) and other sites in the Local Gazette US network. By using this site you agree to them.
Using the site
- Content is for personal, non-commercial reading unless we agree otherwise in writing.
- You may link to our articles. Do not scrape, republish or frame our content as your own.
- Do not attempt to disrupt the site, overload our servers, or misuse forms and APIs.
Accuracy
We aim for accurate local reporting and attribute sources. News moves quickly and errors can happen. See our editorial policy for how we correct mistakes. Content is provided as-is and is not professional advice (legal, financial or otherwise).
Third-party links and ads
Articles may link to original sources. We may show advertising (including Google AdSense) and sponsor slots. Third-party sites and advertisers have their own terms and privacy policies — we are not responsible for their content or practices.
Advertising enquiries
US advertising starts at $299 per month and is quoted in US dollars. New campaigns begin with an enquiry and inventory review, not an automatic public checkout. Contact [email protected] for availability and details. Placements, dates, payment, applicable taxes and campaign terms are agreed in writing before publication. Existing customers retain their agreed prices and terms.
Previous advertising bookings — existing customer terms
The following terms apply to existing agreements only, not new offers. Public self-service advertising closed on 8 October 2026. Your existing booking keeps its agreed currency, price and included benefits.
Local Supporter subscriptions
- Existing Local Supporter subscriptions are billed monthly in US dollars through Stripe at the price agreed when the booking was made.
- The plan includes the placements and deliverables agreed at booking. Copy, claims, links and artwork remain subject to review, and payment does not automatically publish supplied material.
- You may cancel through Stripe's billing portal from the checkout confirmation page. Cancellation stops future renewals; service normally continues until the end of the paid billing period.
- Paid placements are clearly labelled and do not influence editorial decisions. We do not guarantee traffic, enquiries, rankings, sales or any other commercial result.
Custom advertising campaigns
The scope, currency, price and delivery of bespoke or multi-city campaigns are those agreed in writing before payment. Paid placements are clearly labelled and do not influence editorial decisions.
User submissions
If you submit tips, directory/jobs listings, marketplace posts or advertising enquiries, you confirm the information is lawful and accurate, and you grant us permission to publish and moderate it. We may refuse or remove submissions that breach these terms or our editorial standards.
Image rights and licensing
Images are protected by copyright and are not licensed for reuse unless a caption, source or separate written agreement says otherwise. Copyright normally remains with the photographer, creator or supplying organisation named in the image credit. A source credit does not transfer those rights to Local Gazette.
To request permission or ask who controls the rights to a particular image, use our contact page. We will either confirm the available terms or direct you to the credited rights holder.
