Terms of Use

Last updated: June 2026

By accessing and using The NE Times ("the website"), you agree to these Terms of Use. If you do not agree, please do not use the website.

1. Important disclaimer — nature of our content

The NE Times is an independent commentary and analysis publication, published for general information purposes only. We do not provide live, breaking or real-time news coverage, and we do not operate as a primary news-gathering wire. What we publish is our own editorial writing — opinion, analysis, interpretation and context on the events and issues of the day. Where our commentary refers to facts first reported by third-party outlets — news agencies, newspapers, broadcasters and other websites — we credit those sources.

Our articles contain opinion and editorial judgement, and the underlying facts they discuss originate from those external sources. We make reasonable efforts to ground our commentary fairly and accurately, but it should be treated as analysis and opinion and not as a substitute for the original reporting or for professional, legal, financial, medical or other advice. Readers are encouraged to refer to the original sources and verify any information before relying on it.

2. Use of the website

You may access our content for personal, non-commercial use. You agree not to misuse the website, attempt to disrupt its operation, or access it in any unlawful way.

3. Intellectual property & third-party rights

The original layout, design, compilation, editing and presentation of this website are owned by or licensed to The NE Times. However, the underlying news, facts, names, images and source material may be the property of the respective third-party owners, publishers and rights holders from whom the information is drawn, and all such rights remain with them. Trademarks, logos and brand names mentioned belong to their respective owners. If you are a rights holder and believe content has been used incorrectly or without appropriate credit, please contact us via our corrections page and we will review it promptly.

4. Accuracy, sourcing & informational use

Content on this website is original commentary and analysis on news reported elsewhere, and is provided for general information only. It reflects our opinions and editorial judgement. While we make reasonable efforts to ground our commentary in fairly reported facts, we do not independently verify every detail and make no warranties as to the completeness, accuracy, timeliness or reliability of any content. Information may be incomplete or superseded by later developments. Nothing on this website should be relied upon as live news or as professional advice. Where we get something wrong, we correct it — see our corrections policy.

5. AI-generated images

Unless explicitly stated otherwise, all images on this website are artificially generated using AI image-generation tools and are purely illustrative. They are not real photographs of the events, people, places or products described, and must not be relied upon as authentic, documentary or evidentiary material. Any resemblance to a real person, place, brand or event is incidental and unintended. See our Disclaimer for details.

6. Third-party links

Our website may contain links to external sites, including the original sources of the news we discuss. We are not responsible for the content, accuracy or practices of those sites.

7. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, The NE Times shall not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your use of, reliance on, or inability to use the website or its content.

8. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. Continued use of the website after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.

9. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of India, and any disputes will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts at New Delhi, India.
