Terms and Conditions of Use

Last updated: June 2026

These Terms and Conditions of Use ("Terms") govern your access to and use of harbingerstandard.com ("Website"), operated by Harbinger Bros. LLC. By accessing or using this Website, you agree to these Terms.

1. Nature of the Service

Harbinger Standard is a free, publicly accessible digital news portal providing journalistic content focused on Africa. The Website is offered free of charge and without registration. No contractual relationship is established between the Operator and the user unless specifically agreed in writing.

2. Intended Audience

Harbinger Standard is an independent news publication owned and operated in the United States.

Its primary audience consists of readers in the United States and an international audience with an interest in global affairs. Harbinger Standard provides reporting and analysis on Africa, politics, economics, geopolitics, travel, health, culinary topics, culture, science, and developments in individual African countries as part of its international news coverage.

Although Harbinger Standard provides journalistic coverage of Africa, it does not specifically direct its services at, or target, readers located in Africa. Our coverage of the region forms part of a broader, globally oriented news offering intended for an international audience, irrespective of a reader's own location.

The publication is not specifically directed at residents of any Member State of the European Union. Coverage of African institutions, countries, and events is provided solely for journalistic and informational purposes and should not be interpreted as targeting any particular EU jurisdiction or market.

Editorial decisions are made independently and are based on newsworthiness and public interest rather than the geographic location of readers.

3. Permitted Use

Permitted uses: reading content for personal, non-commercial informational purposes; sharing links to articles; quoting brief excerpts with clear attribution to Harbinger Standard and the author; printing articles for personal use.

5. Intellectual Property

All content — text, articles, photographs, graphics, logos, and design — is protected by copyright. Copyright in original editorial content belongs to the Operator or the named author. Third-party content is subject to respective licence terms. The Harbinger Standard name, logo, and tagline are unregistered trademarks. For licensing: support@harbingerpressmedia.com

6. Disclaimer of Warranties

The Website and content are provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, to the fullest extent permitted by law. No warranty is made regarding uninterrupted availability, error-free content, or absence of malicious components.

7. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Operator is not liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of the Website. The Operator's total liability shall not exceed EUR 100.

8. External Links

Links to external websites are provided for informational purposes. The Operator has no control over linked pages and accepts no liability. Inclusion of a link is not an endorsement. Report legal violations to support@harbingerpressmedia.com.

9. Changes

The Operator may modify, suspend, or discontinue the Website at any time. Terms may also be modified; changes take effect upon publication. Continued use constitutes acceptance of revised Terms.

10. Applicable Law and Jurisdiction

Harbinger Standard does not direct its services specifically at consumers in the European Union (see Section 2, Intended Audience, above). These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Wyoming, United States. Disputes are subject to the courts of the State of Wyoming, United States, to the extent legally permissible.
