Terms and Conditions for Life Science Daily News Website

Effective Date: 11 October 2026 V2.1

1. Acceptance of Terms
By accessing or using the Life Science Daily News website and services (the “Site”), you agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) in full. These Terms form a binding legal agreement between you and Life Scope Global News Ltd, the publisher of Life Science Daily News (“we,” “us,” or “our”). If you do not agree with any part of the Terms, you must not use the Site.

Company details: Life Scope Global News Ltd is a private company limited by shares, registered in England and Wales under company number 16488889. Registered office: Suite RA01, 195-197 Wood Street, London E17 3NU. Email: info@lifesciencedaily.news.

Your use of the Site is also subject to our Privacy Policy, Contributor Policy, Editorial Policy and Cookie Policy. By using the Site you confirm that you have read and understood these policies. If you are using the Site on behalf of a company or other entity you represent that you have authority to bind that entity to these Terms and “you” will refer to that entity.

By purchasing or renewing a subscription, or making a one-off purchase (including a press release bundle), you agree that these Terms apply to your subscription or purchase and any related paid features.

2. User Registration and Responsibilities
You must be at least eighteen years old or the minimum legal age in your country to form a binding contract, whichever is higher. We do not accept registrations from anyone under eighteen. We may refuse registration or cancel any user account at our discretion.

You agree to provide accurate and complete information during registration, keep your login credentials confidential, tell us promptly of any unauthorised access or security breach, and use the Site in accordance with applicable laws.

You agree not to violate laws or use the Site for unlawful purposes, post offensive, defamatory or misleading content, infringe intellectual property rights, impersonate any person or organisation, disclose private information without consent, transmit spam, malware or harmful code, or interfere with the functionality or security of the Site. We may suspend or terminate your access for violations of these Terms or other inappropriate conduct.

3. Submission and Moderation of User Content
Registered users may submit content for publication. All submissions are subject to review by our editorial team. Submission does not guarantee publication.

By submitting content you confirm that you have the legal right to publish it, that it complies with these Terms and applicable laws, and that it is accurate and not misleading.

We may edit, reject or remove any submission at our discretion. We may also remove published content without notice if we believe it breaches these Terms or poses a risk. We do not endorse or guarantee the accuracy of user submitted content. The views expressed in such content are those of the author and not of the Site.

4. Intellectual Property Rights
You retain ownership of your submitted content. By submitting content to the Site you grant us a worldwide non-exclusive, royalty-free, sub-licensable licence to use, display, reproduce, adapt and distribute your content in connection with the Site and its promotion.

We may keep archived copies of removed content, and we are not responsible for any third-party use of your content before its removal.

You confirm you have all rights needed to submit and license your content and that it does not infringe the rights of others, contain unlawful material, or breach these Terms. Where the law allows, you waive any moral rights you may have in your content, or agree not to enforce them, so we can edit and format content for publication. This does not affect our commitment to publish your article with an author and company byline, as set out on our Pricing page. We may edit for length, clarity, house style, search optimisation (including headlines, subheadings and page metadata) and legal review, and we may decline to publish.

You agree to indemnify us for any claims arising from your content or your breach of these Terms.
All Site content not submitted by users (including our logo, layout, editorial materials and branding) is owned by us or our licensors. You may not resell, reuse or distribute this material without our written permission.

If you believe your intellectual property rights have been infringed, please contact us. We will review all claims and take appropriate action.

5. Monetisation and Advertising Disclosures
The Site may include advertising and sponsored content, which may appear alongside your submitted content.
We earn revenue from paid contributor plans and press releases, and may in future earn revenue from advertising and from sponsorship of our newsletter. We clearly label paid and promotional content, including any sponsored placement in our newsletter.

Articles produced by the LSDN Editorial Team are not sponsored, and links within them are standard editorial links. We do not sell links, or accept payment to place links, in any content.

Inclusion of third-party products or services does not imply endorsement unless explicitly stated.

Promotional content is permitted only on plans that allow it (Professional, Single Feature and Press Release, and Pulse for existing Pulse members), as set out on our Pricing page and in our Contributor Policy. Explorer content must be non-promotional. Links in paid content carry the rel=“sponsored” attribute and links in Explorer articles carry the rel=“nofollow” attribute, as set out in our Editorial Policy. All contributors must disclose any commercial interest or compensation received in connection with their content.

6. Subscriptions, one-off purchases, billing and promotions
Some features for contributors and members are provided on a paid subscription basis (Professional). You can choose a monthly or annual plan. Others are available as one-off purchases (Single Feature and Press Release). Plans, prices and what each includes are set out on our Pricing page. Both monthly and annual subscriptions will automatically renew, and payment will be taken the day after the billing period expires unless you cancel in line with the terms set out in the Cancellation section before the next billing date.

We will send a reminder fourteen days before payment is due so that you can make sure funds are available and you do not breach this agreement. You can cancel your subscription within the Account Settings section on the website. If you cancel you will keep access until the end of the period that you have paid for.

Once payment is taken no refunds will be given for that period. This does not affect any rights that the law gives you which cannot be excluded. If you are a consumer in the United Kingdom or the European Union, you may have a fourteen-day cooling off right for a first-time purchase. If you ask us to start providing the subscription immediately you agree that service begins straight away and you acknowledge that you may lose the right to cancel, or we may deduct a reasonable amount to reflect the service used before you cancel.

You will be able to download your invoice for the subscription directly from within the Account Settings section on the website.

One-off purchases: for Single Feature and Press Release, your submission is reviewed by our editorial team before an invoice is issued. If we decline your submission, no invoice is issued. We publish only after payment is received, and publication timelines run from receipt of payment. Publication timelines, including those stated in hours, apply to working days (Monday to Friday), excluding UK bank holidays.

Press release bundles: bundles are invoiced on purchase and are valid for 12 months from the date of purchase. Each release in a bundle is reviewed before publication, and if we decline a release, the credit is returned to your bundle. Credits not used within 12 months expire. Bundles are non-refundable and non-transferable. This does not affect any rights that the law gives you which cannot be excluded.

Newsletter and social media: where your plan includes inclusion in the LSDN newsletter, your article is featured in a weekly newsletter issue following publication. Selected Explorer articles may also be featured. Position, format and selection are at editorial discretion. Where your plan includes sharing on the LSDN social media channels, your content is shared on publication. Explorer articles may be shared at editorial discretion.

Withdrawn plans: plans that are withdrawn from sale continue on their existing terms for current subscribers until cancelled, and cannot be restarted once cancelled.

We may change subscription prices from time to time. We will give you at least thirty days’ notice. If you do not agree to the change you can cancel before the new price takes effect. We may suspend access for failed or overdue payments. Taxes may apply as shown at checkout. Payments are processed by our payment partners, and their terms will also apply.

From time to time, we may provide promotional or introductory pricing for new subscribers. Unless otherwise stated, introductory pricing is available only once per customer and cannot be combined with other discounts.

After the introductory period ends, subscriptions renew automatically at the standard published rates for the chosen plan (monthly or yearly).

7. Cancellation
Memberships may be cancelled via your online account, at any time up to the renewal date (there is no minimum notice period).

All cancellations take effect at the end of the current billing cycle. Any unused allowance at that time will expire and will not roll over.

If you cancel part-way through a billing cycle, you will retain access until the end of the paid period, but no refunds will be issued for unused portions of the subscription. This does not affect any rights under applicable consumer law.

Our right to cancel: we may cancel or suspend your membership in line with these Terms, including for non-payment, breach of the Contributor Policy, or other misuse of the service. In such cases, no refund will be issued for the period already paid.

Consumer rights: if you are a consumer in the United Kingdom or European Union, you may also have statutory cancellation or cooling-off rights which apply in addition to the contractual rights described here.

8. Post allowances and monitoring
Explorer and Professional plans include a monthly allowance for the number of articles you can submit. Your allowance is shown on the pricing page or in your account.

We monitor and enforce usage on a monthly basis. Your allowance month runs from the date your membership started and renews on the same date each month. For Professional, this is your billing date, and it applies to annual subscriptions in the same way. For Explorer, it is the date you joined. Where a month has no matching date, your allowance renews on the last day of that month.

An article counts towards the allowance for the month in which it is submitted, whatever the date of publication. Articles we decline do not count towards your allowance.

If you reach your monthly allowance you will not be able to submit further articles until your next allowance month begins. You will still be able to view content that has already been submitted. If an article is submitted over your allowance, we may hold it until your next allowance month begins.

You may upgrade from Explorer to Professional at any time. Once your upgrade is confirmed, Professional features apply immediately. When you upgrade, a new billing cycle starts on the date of your upgrade and a new monthly allowance applies from that date. If you later choose to downgrade, the change will take effect from your next renewal date.

We may apply technical measures to pause submission access when an allowance is reached. You must not create multiple accounts or otherwise attempt to bypass posting limits.

We may change the number of allowed post submissions per pricing plan from time to time. We will give you at least thirty days’ notice. If you do not agree to the change you can cancel before the update takes effect.

9. Links and third-party services
The site includes links to third party sites and services. We do not control and are not responsible for them. Use them at your own risk. You may link to our public pages fairly and lawfully provided you do not suggest endorsement and you do not frame our pages. We may withdraw linking permission at any time.

10. Privacy and Data Collection
We collect and process personal data in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable data protection laws including the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR).

We collect account registration data such as name and email, submitted content, technical data such as IP address and device or browser information, and cookie and usage data.

We use your data to manage your account and contributions, deliver newsletters and communications, analyse traffic and improve our services.

If you register an account or make a purchase, you will be added to the weekly LSDN newsletter unless you opt out at signup. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in any newsletter email. Our Privacy Policy explains how we use your data for the newsletter.

We may store data in or transfer data to countries outside the United Kingdom. Where we do, we will ensure appropriate safeguards are in place.

You may exercise your rights under UK data protection law. More information is available in our Privacy Policy.

11. Reporting and takedown
To report defamation, privacy concerns or infringement, email us at info@lifesciencedaily.news with the page URL, a description of the issue and your contact details. We will review promptly and respond with the outcome and next steps. This single process is available to users worldwide.

12. Disclaimers for Medical or Scientific Content
The Site provides news and commentary on developments in the life sciences. All content is for general information only. Nothing on this Site is intended to constitute medical advice, diagnosis or treatment.

Always consult a qualified healthcare professional before making decisions based on any content from the Site. We do not accept responsibility for how you use the information presented.

The inclusion of research products or services does not constitute endorsement. The Site is not a substitute for professional consultation.

13. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law we shall not be liable for any loss of profits, data or business opportunities, any indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages, personal injury or harm caused by reliance on Site content, or third-party content, links or user conduct.

Our total liability to you will not exceed fifty pounds sterling or the total amount you have paid us in the past twelve months, if any, whichever is greater.
You agree to indemnify us against any claims arising from your use of the Site, your content or your breach of these Terms.

14. Jurisdiction and Governing Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. The courts of England and Wales shall have exclusive jurisdiction over any disputes arising under or in connection with these Terms, subject to the paragraph below and to any mandatory rights under local law.

If you are a consumer outside the United Kingdom, you may be entitled to bring proceedings in your home jurisdiction under applicable consumer laws.

15. Modifications to Terms
We may update these Terms at any time. When we do, we will update the Effective Date and, where appropriate, notify registered users by email or via the Site.

Your continued use of the Site after any changes constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms. If you do not accept the changes, you must stop using the Site.

16. Suspension, Termination, and Site Changes
We may change, suspend, restrict or withdraw any part of the site or any feature at any time and without notice. This does not affect the notice periods that apply to changes in subscription prices (section 6) or to post allowances (section 8), where we will give you at least thirty days’ notice. Access is provided on a temporary basis, and we do not promise the site will always be available, uninterrupted or error free.

We may suspend or terminate your account or limit certain features where we reasonably believe that your subscription payment is overdue or has failed, you have breached these Terms or our Contributor Policy, we need to act to protect users’ content or our systems or to meet a legal or regulatory request, or we are carrying out maintenance or resolving an incident.

We may apply technical measures to enforce posting allowances and unpaid account suspensions. This may include placing an account in read only mode, rate limiting, disabling submission or upload forms, and other automated controls that are proportionate and reasonable.

Where we suspend or restrict access for reasons within our control, we will take reasonable steps to let you know either on the site or by email. If we remove access urgently, we may notify you after the fact. We may ask you for information to help us review and restore access.

If we suspend or terminate your account due to a breach or unpaid bills, no refund is due for the period already paid (as explained in Section 6, Subscriptions, one-off purchases, billing and promotions). This does not affect rights that the law gives you which cannot be excluded. If we discontinue a paid feature entirely, we will comply with any refund that the law requires and we may at our discretion offer a credit.

Content that you submitted and that has been published may remain on the site or in our archives and we may continue to use it under the licence you granted. Sections that by their nature should continue will survive suspension or termination including licence rights, indemnity, limits on liability and governing law.

17. General
If any part of these Terms is found invalid the remainder will continue in force. No failure to enforce is a waiver. These Terms and any policies referenced form the entire agreement between you and us regarding the site.
