Terms of use
The deal between you and us, in plain language.
1. What this covers
These terms apply to Tokyo Dispatch. By reading the site you accept them. If you do not, please stop using it.
2. Our content
We report on and translate journalism published elsewhere, and we name the publication that did the original work. Facts themselves belong to nobody, but the words, photographs and layout you find here belong to their owners — us, or the outlet we are crediting. You may read, quote briefly with a link back, and share links. You may not republish our articles in whole or in part, including by scraping or by feeding them to a service that rebuilds them.
Where we quote another publication, the quotation remains theirs. If you believe something here infringes your rights, write to [email protected] and we will look at it promptly.
3. Accuracy, and what we promise
We work from published sources and we say where they came from. We are human and we make mistakes; when we do, we correct them under our corrections policyrather than quietly deleting. We do not promise the site will always be available, complete or free of error.
4. Acceptable use
Do not attack the site, attempt to break its security, or use automated tools to copy it in bulk. Automated access that respects robots.txt — search engines, archives — is welcome.
5. Comments and correspondence
We do not host comments. If you email us, we may publish what you sent — attributed — unless you ask us not to. We may edit for length and clarity.
6. Links to other sites
We link to the reporting we work from and to other sources. We are not responsible for what those sites publish or for their terms and privacy practices.
7. Liability
To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss arising from your use of the site. Nothing here limits liability that cannot lawfully be limited.
8. Personal data
How we handle data is set out in our privacy policy.
9. Changes
We may update these terms. The date at the top of this page is the version in force; continuing to use the site after a change means you accept it.
10. Questions
Write to [email protected], or to[email protected] for anything about your data.
