Using the site
You may read, link to and share our stories for personal, non-commercial purposes. Please do not scrape the site in bulk, interfere with its operation, or attempt to access parts of it that are not public.
Our content
Text, design and original illustrations on CosmosLens are protected by copyright. You may quote short passages with a link back to the original story. To republish a full story, ask us first.
Many images belong to their creators or are in the public domain; each caption lists the source and license that applies to that image.
Your submissions
When you send us a pitch, letter or tip, you confirm that it is yours to share. We may quote letters, edited for length, unless you ask us not to. Commissioned work is covered by a separate agreement; see writing for us.
Information, not advice
We work hard to be accurate, and we correct mistakes when we find them. Our stories are journalism, not professional, medical or financial advice, and science changes as new evidence arrives.
Links and advertising
We link to other websites and show ads from third parties. We are not responsible for their content or practices, and an ad appearing on our pages is not an endorsement.
Liability
The site is provided as it is. To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for losses arising from your use of it. Nothing in these terms limits rights you have under consumer law that cannot be excluded.
Changes and contact
We may update these terms and will change the date above when we do. Questions go to editors@cosmoslens.com.
