Terms of Use

RON is provided for personal, non-commercial reading. You agree to use the site lawfully and not to interfere with its operation or with other readers' use of it.

• Do not attempt to gain unauthorised access to any part of the site, its servers, or its accounts.
• Do not use automated systems to scrape, harvest, or systematically copy content from the site.
• Do not introduce malicious code, or attempt to disrupt or overload our infrastructure.
• Do not misrepresent your identity or impersonate RON, our staff, or another person.

Some features require an account. You are responsible for keeping your sign-in credentials secure and for activity that takes place under your account. Tell us promptly if you believe your account has been compromised. We may suspend or close accounts that breach these terms.

All material published on RON — including text, headlines, images, logos, page design, and the arrangement of content — is protected by copyright and other intellectual property rights. You may read, share links to, and quote short extracts of our articles with clear attribution to RON. Anything beyond that requires our written permission. Full terms are set out on our Copyright Page.

If you send us material — a correction, a message, a story tip, or any other submission — you confirm that you have the right to send it and that it does not infringe anyone else's rights. You grant RON permission to use, reproduce, and publish that material in connection with our journalism. We are not obliged to publish or respond to any submission.

We work to keep RON accurate and available, but we do not guarantee that the site will be free of errors or uninterrupted. News develops quickly, and reporting reflects the position at the time of publication. Where we get something wrong, we correct it — see our Corrections And Fact-Check Policy.

Alongside our own reporting, RON surfaces news and updates drawn from other publishers and public sources, clearly credited to where they originated. We take full editorial responsibility for the stories our own newsroom writes and publishes. For material sourced from elsewhere, responsibility for its accuracy rests with the originating publisher — our role is limited to selecting and surfacing it, and to linking back to the original wherever the format allows.

RON links to external websites and may display content supplied by third parties. We do not control those sites or that content and are not responsible for it. A link is not an endorsement.

RON is provided on an “as is” basis. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we exclude liability for any indirect or consequential loss arising from your use of, or inability to use, the site. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot lawfully be limited.

We may change, suspend, or discontinue any part of RON at any time. We may also revise these terms; when we do, the date at the top of this page is updated. Continued use of the site after a change means you accept the revised terms.

These terms are governed by the laws of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, and disputes relating to them fall under the jurisdiction of the courts of Pakistan.
