Terms of Service & Syndication Policies

NewsGrab functions as an independent trilingual news discovery and analysis platform indexing public feeds across verified Sri Lankan and international newsrooms (including Ada Derana, Hiru News, Daily Mirror, Virakesari, and BBC).

• Statutory Compliance (Sri Lanka IP Act No. 36 of 2003): All indexing and quotation on NewsGrab are conducted strictly under the "Fair Practice" provisions of Section 12(1)(a) of the Intellectual Property Act No. 36 of 2003 of Sri Lanka and international Fair Use doctrines. NewsGrab does not serve as a market substitute for original reporting.
• Executive Synthesis Model: NewsGrab displays original transformative synthesis—specifically concise editorial lead summaries, AI-generated key takeaways, and cross-publisher perspective comparisons. We do not reproduce unabridged article bodies.
• Direct Publisher Referral: Every story presented on NewsGrab includes clear publisher attribution, timestamping, and a prominent outbound link directing readers directly to the original publisher's website.
• Intellectual Property & Trademarks: All headlines, original photography, and reporting remain the intellectual property and copyright of their respective originating news organizations.

Financial indicators, exchange rates (USD/LKR, GBP/LKR, EUR/LKR), and Colombo Stock Exchange (CSE) data displayed on NewsGrab are provided for informational and editorial awareness only.

NewsGrab is not an investment adviser, broker, or financial institution. Exchange rate fixing data is aggregated from official Central Bank of Sri Lanka daily releases. We recommend consulting licensed financial advisers or commercial banking partners before executing commercial currency or equity transactions.

NewsGrab displays advertisements served by Google AdSense, Google Ad Manager, and vetted direct corporate sponsors. All commercial placements are explicitly demarcated with "ADVERTISEMENT" or "SPONSORED" labels in accordance with Google Publisher Policies and IAB standards.

Advertisements are served on our original index views, analytical dashboards, and aggregated comparison layouts—never on scraped full-text articles. Advertisers are solely responsible for the contents and claims in their promotional materials. Commercial sponsorship does not influence our unbiased algorithmic news curation.

NewsGrab deeply values the work of newsrooms and investigative journalists. If you are a copyright holder, editorial representative, or publisher and wish to adjust how your public feed is indexed, or request immediate exclusion of your content from our discovery index, we honor all verified requests within 24 hours:

Please provide the URL of the affected content, proof of ownership or agency, and specify the desired action (e.g. index exclusion, attribution adjustment, or feed removal).
