7. Editorial disclaimer and accuracy

4minit summarises and comments on news and public information sources. We aim to be accurate, fair, timely, and useful, but we do not guarantee that every item will always be complete, current, or free from error.

News develops quickly. Facts, figures, headlines, and circumstances can change after publication. You should verify important information using primary sources where appropriate.

8. No professional advice

Content published by 4minit is for general informational purposes only. It is not legal, financial, investment, tax, medical, or other professional advice.

You should not rely on the website or newsletter as a substitute for your own judgment, independent verification, or professional consultation.

9. Third-party links and external content

The website and newsletter may contain links to third-party websites, publications, tools, platforms, or services. These are provided for convenience and reference only.

We do not control and are not responsible for the content, availability, security, or privacy practices of third-party sites or services.

10. Intellectual property and permitted use

Unless otherwise stated, the 4minit name, branding, site design, original copy, newsletter content, layout, and other original materials are owned by or licensed to 4minit and are protected by applicable intellectual property laws.

You may read, share, and link to our content for personal, non-commercial purposes. You may not reproduce, republish, redistribute, or commercially exploit substantial portions of our original content without permission, except where lawful exceptions apply.

This includes, without limitation, loss arising from reliance on content, technical interruptions, data issues, or third-party services, except where liability cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.
