These Terms & Conditions govern access to and use of the AAN TV website at https://www.aantv.org/. AAN TV is a pan-African media organisation based in Lagos, Nigeria, publishing news, analysis, interviews, videos, and other content concerning Africa and its people.
By accessing or using the website, you agree to these terms and our applicable Privacy Policy and Cookies Policy. If you do not agree, please discontinue use of the website.

You may use the website to read, view, share, and engage with content for lawful purposes. You must not:
- Use the website for unlawful, fraudulent, or malicious purposes.
- Attempt unauthorised access to website systems or user information.
- Disrupt website operation, security, or availability, or upload harmful code.

3. News and Information
AAN TV seeks to provide accurate, relevant, and responsible journalism. News develops over time, and information may be updated, corrected, or supplemented as new evidence becomes available. Although we take reasonable steps to verify information, we do not guarantee all content will always be complete, current, or free from error. Content is provided for general informational purposes and is not individualised legal, financial, medical, or other professional advice.
4. Intellectual Property
Unless otherwise indicated, original articles, photographs, videos, graphics, logos, branding, and other materials published by AAN TV are owned by or licensed to AAN TV and may be protected by intellectual property laws. You may read and share links for personal, non-commercial purposes. Except as permitted by law or authorised in writing, you must not reproduce, republish, distribute, modify, commercially exploit, or publicly display content without required permission. Third-party materials remain subject to their owners' rights.
5. Google Sign-In and Commenting
Visitors may read articles without signing in. To comment, visitors may be required to authenticate using Google Sign-In. AAN TV does not intend to use a separate AAN TV email-and-password sign-in form for this purpose. Google authentication is subject to Google's terms and privacy policies, and the information shared with AAN TV depends on the sign-in configuration and permissions.
Signing in to comment does not automatically subscribe you to the AAN TV newsletter. Newsletter subscriptions remain a separate, optional feature.
6. Public Comments
AAN TV permits public comments to encourage discussion and audience engagement. By submitting a comment, you confirm that you have the right to submit it and that it does not knowingly infringe another person's rights. You must not use comments for threats, harassment, unlawful discrimination, spam, impersonation, privacy violations, or other unlawful or abusive conduct.
You remain responsible for the content you submit. You grant AAN TV a non-exclusive, royalty-free permission to host, display, reproduce, and moderate your comment as reasonably necessary to operate the website and present the discussion. This does not transfer ownership of your contribution. AAN TV may review, restrict, or remove comments that breach these terms, community standards, or applicable law. Comments represent their authors' views and do not necessarily reflect AAN TV's views.
7. User-Submitted Materials
If you send photographs, videos, documents, story tips, interview proposals, or other materials, you confirm that you are entitled to submit them. Submission does not guarantee publication, a response, compensation, or confidentiality. Any agreed use, attribution, confidentiality arrangement, or other condition will be determined by the circumstances and applicable law.
8. Editorial Standards and Corrections
AAN TV aims to maintain accuracy, fairness, editorial independence, and responsible reporting. If you believe a published article contains a material factual error, contact aantelevision@gmail.com with the article URL, the specific issue, and supporting information. We will assess credible concerns and may correct, update, clarify, or retract content where warranted. A request does not automatically require removal of accurate reporting or material justified in the public interest.
9. Advertising and Sponsored Content
The website may contain advertisements, sponsored articles, branded content, or promotional material. Where appropriate or required, paid content will be identified so audiences can distinguish it from independent editorial reporting. Advertising or sponsorship does not necessarily imply AAN TV's endorsement.
10. Third-Party Links and Services
The website may link to or embed external platforms, including video hosting services, social networks, advertisers, and other publishers. These services may have separate terms and privacy policies. AAN TV does not control all third-party content, availability, or practices.
11. Website Availability
We aim to maintain a reliable website but do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free access. We may modify, suspend, or discontinue features for maintenance, security, technical, operational, or other legitimate reasons.
12. Disclaimer and Limitation of Liability
To the extent permitted by applicable law, AAN TV is not liable for indirect or consequential losses arising from use of, or inability to use, the website. Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability where such exclusion or limitation is prohibited by law or removes rights that cannot lawfully be excluded.
13. Indemnity
To the extent permitted by law, you may be responsible for losses or reasonable costs arising from unlawful use of the website, material breach of these terms, or infringement of another person's rights. This clause applies only to the extent responsibility may lawfully be imposed.
14. Privacy and Cookies
Our Privacy Policy and Cookies Policy explain how personal information, cookies, analytics, Google Sign-In, newsletter subscriptions, and other website interactions may be handled.
15. Changes to These Terms
We may revise these terms when necessary. Updated terms will be published on this page with a revised effective date.
