Terms of use

Using our content

Our reporting is free to read and link. You may quote briefly with attribution and a link back to the story. Republishing full stories, or any commercial use, needs permission — contact the newsroom.

AI-generated content

Every story is written with AI assistance and reviewed by a human before publication; each story says so on the page. We stand behind our corrections process, but we make no warranty about completeness or timeliness — check the public record, and tell us when we’re wrong.

Acceptable use

Don’t scrape the site aggressively, don’t present our reporting as your own, and don’t use the site to break the law.

No warranty

The site is provided as-is. We work to be accurate; we don’t promise to be perfect.

Changes

If these terms change, we’ll update this page with a new effective date.
