News aggregation only

Afrinews (“we”, “our”) operates afrinews.app (the “Site”) as a real-time news aggregator. We collect, index, and display titles, short excerpts or descriptions, publication metadata, and hyperlinks to articles, posts, and content hosted by third-party publishers, platforms, and users (“Third-party content”). We do not host, reproduce, or distribute full articles or media on our servers except as needed for the Site to function (e.g. thumbnails or excerpts as permitted by law or presented by third-party feeds).

No ownership or endorsement

Articles, titles, images (if any), trademarks, logos, and other content shown via the Site remain the property of their respective owners. Display on Afrinews does not imply ownership, affiliation, sponsorship, or endorsement of any third-party content, publisher, or viewpoint. Titles and excerpts may be generated or formatted by automated systems; the authoritative version is always the linked source for each item.

No warranty of accuracy, timeliness, or completeness

Third-party content is provided “as is” and “as available.” We do not warrant that any title, excerpt, link, timestamp, or categorization is accurate, complete, up to date, lawful, or fit for a particular purpose. Aggregated feeds may contain errors, duplicates, mistaken automated translations, or outdated items. You use the Site at your own risk.
