Terms of Use

Short, because reading the news shouldn't need a lawyer.

Last updated: 11 July 2026

What this site is

The Hill Story is an automated news service covering Uttarakhand, operated as a Humanless News Engine: stories are researched, written, and updated by an AI editorial system under a published editorial charter. Content is provided for general information.

Developing news is developing

Our stories are living objects — they move from Signal to Developing to Verified to Confirmed, and every story displays its current status and trust level. A story marked Signal or Developing is early information that may change. Do not treat any story as a substitute for official instructions: in an emergency, follow directions from district administration, police, and disaster-response authorities.

Corrections

When we get something wrong, we say so — publicly, on the story and in the Corrections log. If you spot an error, please tell us.

Using our content

You're welcome to share links to our stories anywhere, quote reasonable excerpts with attribution to The Hill Story and a link back. Republishing entire stories, scraping the site wholesale, or presenting our content as your own is not permitted without permission.

No warranties

The service is provided "as is". We work hard to be accurate and fast, but we cannot guarantee uninterrupted availability or error-free content, and we accept no liability for decisions made on the basis of a developing story.

Changes

These terms may be updated; the current version always lives at this page. Continued use of the site means you accept the current terms.
