Terms and Conditions: The Crucial Structure of Our Online Newsroom
The majority of people click “I Agree” without actually reading anything. This page is more important than you might imagine, though, if you manage a news blog or care about how your data is handled.
Being the creator of What’s In Trending, I’ve discovered that a strong Terms & Conditions page is more than just legalese. It serves as the cornerstone of our readers’ and our own trust. I can attest that Google’s reviewers pay close attention to this page because I have assisted numerous publishers in getting their websites approved by AdSense. They must observe that you have set up explicit guidelines for user conduct, intellectual property, and advertising management.
The point here is not to scare anyone off. It’s about making a clear, safe place where great journalism can grow. Think of these as the rules that make sure our online newsroom works well for everyone in our community.
You are agreeing to a contract with us when you go to What’s In Trending (https://whatintrending.com). These rules govern our relationship.
By accessing our website, you agree to:

Your only option is to discontinue using our service if you disagree with any aspect of it.
These terms are subject to change at any time. We’ll let you know when there are major changes by updating this page and adding a new “Last Updated” date. It is your job to check this site regularly, but once you know the basics, big changes don’t happen very often.
One of the most frequent places for bloggers to run into issues is here. Let me be very clear about who owns what.

Fact-based contributions: When feasible, provide evidence to support assertions.

Let’s address the most pressing issue: advertising. Being a Google AdSense publisher, we must be open and honest about how our site’s advertising operates.
Our main partner for displaying pertinent, non-intrusive ads is Google AdSense. These advertisements assist in funding:
Costs and bandwidth of servers
Research and content production
Security and technical upkeep
Your Obligations About Advertising
Avoid clicking on ads in a fake way: We risk being permanently banned if we click on our own advertisements or encourage others to do so, as this is against AdSense policy. I’ve witnessed it occur on otherwise excellent websites.
Third-party tracking: To deliver relevant advertisements, ad networks may make use of cookies and tracking technologies. You can use Google’s Ads Settings to opt out.
External offers: We have no control over the caliber, precision, or availability of goods or services that outside parties promote.
At no additional expense to you, we occasionally include affiliate links in our Content in exchange for a small commission. Only goods and services that we truly believe in are promoted by us. Our editorial coverage is never influence by these relationships because we value our reputation for truthful reporting more than any commission.
For a news outlet in particular, this is where we must be extremely clear.
The news moves quickly, even though we aim for 100% accuracy in our reporting. Corrections are sometimes required. Consequently
We cannot promise:
Timeliness of all data
Our service is available without interruption, around the clock.
Those mistakes will be fixed right away.
No Expert Guidance
Legal counsel
Financial guidance
Medical guidance
Any additional expert services
Please talk to experts in the field before making any big decisions.

Our entire liability to you for any claim resulting from your use of our website will not be greater than the amount you paid us (if any) during the previous six months, to the maximum extent allowed by law.
6. Third-Party inks & Content: Citing sources is essential to good journalism. When we include links to outside websites:
Their accuracy, privacy policies, and Content are not our responsibility.
A link’s existence does not indicate endorsement.
You visit external websites at your own risk.
Although we make every effort to screen our sources carefully, the internet is constantly evolving. Please let u know if you find any broken or inappropriate links.
Your privacy is important. Here are the main points of our extensive Privacy Policy, which goes into great detail about how we handle your data:

Although we support second chances, there are instances when we must defend our community. Users may have their access suspended or terminated if they:
Consistently break these terms.
Please take part in unlawful activities using our platform.
Try to damage our technology infrastructure.
Make several accounts to avoid being banned.
The laws of [ USA ] govern these terms. In the event of a disagreement, we commit to trying to resolve it by:
Straightforward discussion (send us an email; we’re sensible people)
An impartial third-party mediator
Finally, a legally binding arbitration
We would much rather have a conversation than go to court to resolve issues.
Look, I understand that reading this was a lot. However, I wanted to make something comprehensive yet approachable after witnessing far too many gifted bloggers have their AdSense applications denied due to technicalities in their Terms & Conditions.
The essence of these terms is straightforward: we offer high-quality Content, you interact with it civilly, and we all cooperate to keep a useful resource for news consumers. Respect for one another and shared accountability are key.
I’d be happy to explain our thinking if you have any questions about any of these terms—
