Because trust begins with clarity.
We built MathuraTimes.com not just to publish news, but to create a platform where truth and responsibility meet. And when that happens, there must be a clear understanding between the one who shares and the one who reads. This page is that understanding — not in legal jargon, but in plain language.
1. Who We Are
MathuraTimes.com is a privately owned, independent local news and information platform based in Mathura. We aim to cover stories that impact local communities, cultural life, city development, and the lived experiences of people in and around Mathura-Vrindavan.
We are not affiliated with any government authority, political organization, or religious trust, unless explicitly mentioned in a specific piece of content.
2. What You Agree to When You Visit Us
By using MathuraTimes.com, you agree to the following:
- You will not misuse the platform or its content for any illegal, defamatory, or harmful purposes.
- You acknowledge that while we try our best to be accurate and timely, all information on this site is subject to change, and should be independently verified if used for important decisions.
- You understand that content is offered “as-is”, without any warranties, promises, or guarantees of accuracy, completeness, or reliability.
- You will not copy or republish our content without clear written permission or proper credit.
We write for our readers — but plagiarism helps no one.
3. Community Conduct
We invite readers to engage — through comments, feedback, article suggestions, and even corrections. But the space we share must be civil, respectful, and constructive.
We reserve the right to moderate or delete any user comment that is:
- Abusive, threatening, or inflammatory
- Spam or promotional in nature
- Spreading misinformation or hate speech
- Offensive to religious, regional, or personal sentiments
This is not censorship. This is civic discipline.
4. Content Ownership and Use
All articles, reports, images, graphics, and digital materials published on MathuraTimes.com are the intellectual property of the platform or its contributors, unless otherwise credited. Unauthorized reproduction, distribution, or commercial use of our content may lead to legal action.
If you’d like to reprint or reference any piece of content, please write to us for permission — we are open to collaboration, but not without conversation.
5. External Links and References
Sometimes, our articles may link to external websites — government portals, temple boards, official press releases, or third-party blogs. These are shared for additional context, not as endorsements.
We are not responsible for the content, policies, or accuracy of external websites.
6. Liability Clause
MathuraTimes.com shall not be held liable for any:
- Loss, damage, or inconvenience caused by reliance on information published on this website
- Travel delays, booking issues, darshan changes, or missed opportunities based on unverified data
- Comments or contributions made by readers or third parties
Our goal is awareness — not assurance.
7. Updates to Terms
As the platform evolves, so may these terms. We reserve the right to update or change this policy without prior notice. It is the user’s responsibility to review this page periodically to stay informed.
8. Final Word – Let This Be a Shared Space
MathuraTimes.com is more than just a domain name. It’s a platform built on the belief that local voices deserve dignity, and facts deserve a home. If you use this space, use it with intention. If you read our words, read them with care. And if you share them, share them with credit.
Because journalism, at its best, is not a service.
It is a shared responsibility.
