Accuracy
We report as accurately as we can and we correct our mistakes — our editorial policy explains how. News develops, though, and a story that was accurate when published may be overtaken by events. Nothing on this site is legal, financial, medical or professional advice; do not act on it as if it were.
Advertising
This site carries advertising, served mainly through Google AdSense. Ad slots are labelled. We do not choose the individual ads that appear and we do not endorse the advertisers, their products or their claims. Any dealing you have with an advertiser is between you and them.
Links to other sites
We link to external sources so you can check our reporting. We do not control those sites and are not responsible for their content or availability.
Availability
We aim to keep the site up at all times but do not guarantee uninterrupted access. We may change, suspend or withdraw any part of the site, and we may edit or remove an article — for example to correct it or to comply with a legal obligation.
Limitation of liability
To the extent permitted by law, Lanka Update is not liable for indirect or consequential loss arising from your use of the site or your reliance on its content. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot lawfully be limited.
Your data
How we handle personal data is set out in the privacy policy, which forms part of these terms.
Governing law
These terms are governed by French law, and the courts of France have jurisdiction. This does not remove any protection you have under the consumer law of your country of residence.
Changes
We may update these terms. The date above shows the current version; continuing to use the site after a change means you accept it.
