Terms of Use

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing and using Saigon Sentinel (saigonsentinel.com, the “Site”), you agree to comply with these Terms of Use. If you do not agree with any part of these terms, please discontinue use of the Site.

2. AI-Assisted Content Disclaimer

Saigon Sentinel is an AI-assisted news publication. We use Artificial Intelligence to draft, translate, summarize, and add analysis to news reported by established sources, which we cite and link. Every article must pass automated quality checks — originality, citation, and fact-grounding — and is reviewed by our Editor-in-Chief before publication, and AI-generated illustrations and audio narration are clearly labeled as such.

Despite our safeguards, AI can occasionally produce inaccurate, incomplete, or misleading information (“hallucinations”), and translations may contain errors. We do not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of any content. Always verify important information against the original sources we link to, and do not rely on the Site as your sole source for any decision.

3. Not Professional Advice

Content on Saigon Sentinel — including guides on immigration, taxes, healthcare, finance, and similar topics — is provided for general informational purposes only and is not legal, financial, medical, immigration, or other professional advice. Consult a qualified professional before acting on anything you read here.

4. Intellectual Property

Original news facts and reporting belong to the cited source organizations. The summaries, analyses, original commentary, illustrations, audio, and overall design of Saigon Sentinel are owned by us or our licensors. You may share links to our articles freely, but you may not copy, reproduce, or redistribute substantial portions of our content for commercial purposes without prior written permission.

5. Third-Party Links & Advertising

The Site contains links to original news sources — including the numbered citations and source links within our articles — as well as other third-party websites, and it displays third-party advertising. These external sites are not operated by or affiliated with Saigon Sentinel, and we do not control, endorse, or verify their content. We are not responsible for the content, accuracy, availability, products, or privacy practices of any third-party website or advertiser. When you follow a citation or other outbound link you leave the Site at your own risk, and your dealings with any third party are solely between you and that party. See our Privacy Policy for how advertising cookies are handled and how to opt out.

6. Acceptable Use

You agree not to use the Site to break the law, infringe others’ rights, scrape or republish our content at scale, attempt to disrupt or gain unauthorized access to the Site, or misrepresent our AI-assisted content as your own original reporting.

7. Limitation of Liability

The Site is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis, without warranties of any kind. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Saigon Sentinel shall not be liable for any damages arising from your use of, or reliance on, the Site or its content.

8. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by updating the “Last updated” date above. Your continued use of the Site after a change constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
