1. Introduction
Welcome to BWDN24.com (“BWDN24,” “we,” “our,” or “us”).
BWDN24 is an online news and information platform covering geopolitics, international relations, politics, wars and conflicts, diplomacy, defence, economics, and other matters of public interest.
We respect intellectual property rights and expect our readers, contributors, partners, and other users to respect them as well.
This Copyright Policy explains how copyright applies to content published on BWDN24, how our materials may be used, and how copyright owners can report suspected infringement.
2. Ownership of Original Content
Unless otherwise stated, original articles, editorial writing, analysis, website text, graphics, branding, and other materials created by BWDN24 are owned by BWDN24 or used under appropriate authorisation.
These materials are protected by applicable copyright and intellectual property laws.
No ownership rights are transferred to visitors merely because content is accessible on our website.
3. Third-Party Content
BWDN24 may reference, quote, display, or link to material originating from third parties, including:
- News agencies and other media organisations.
- Government departments and public institutions.
- International organisations.
- Researchers, analysts, and subject-matter experts.
- Photographers, videographers, and image licensing providers.
- Other publishers and publicly available sources.
Third-party materials may be subject to separate copyright, licensing, attribution, and usage requirements.
The publication of third-party material does not necessarily mean that BWDN24 owns that material or that it may be reused without permission.
Where appropriate, we aim to identify the original source or provide attribution. However, attribution alone does not replace permission or another valid legal basis when one is required.
4. Permitted Use of Our Content
Visitors may access and read BWDN24’s publicly available content for personal, informational, and educational purposes.
You may share links to our articles through websites, email, messaging applications, and social media, provided that the sharing is lawful and does not misrepresent our content or imply an endorsement that does not exist.
You may not, without prior permission or another applicable legal basis:
- Republish complete BWDN24 articles on another website.
- Copy substantial portions of our original reporting.
- Reproduce our content for commercial publication.
- Sell, license, or redistribute our original materials.
- Remove copyright notices or attribution.
- Modify our materials in a way that misrepresents their meaning or origin.
Any permitted use must comply with applicable law and any relevant licence conditions.
5. News Reporting, Quotations, and Attribution
BWDN24 recognises the importance of accurate sourcing and responsible journalism.
Our articles may contain quotations, references, factual information, or short excerpts from other sources for purposes such as reporting, commentary, criticism, analysis, or public information.
Such use must comply with applicable copyright law. Whether a particular quotation or excerpt is lawful depends on the circumstances, the amount used, the purpose, and the relevant legal rules.
When referencing BWDN24’s original reporting, third parties should provide clear attribution and, where possible, a direct link to the original article.
Attribution does not automatically make every reproduction lawful, and citing a source does not itself establish permission to reproduce copyrighted material.
6. Photographs, Images, Videos, and Graphics
Photographs, illustrations, videos, maps, infographics, and other visual materials published on BWDN24 may be owned by BWDN24 or by third parties.
Some materials may be used under licences, permissions, public-sector reuse terms, or other lawful arrangements.
Unless a licence or applicable law expressly permits it, you must not download and republish, commercially exploit, modify, or redistribute copyrighted visual material from our website without the necessary authorisation.
If you wish to reuse a photograph, video, graphic, or illustration, please verify its ownership and licensing conditions before doing so.
7. User-Submitted Content
If you submit an article, photograph, video, graphic, document, or other material to BWDN24, you confirm that you own the material or have the necessary rights and permissions to submit it.
You must not submit content that infringes another person’s copyright, trademark, privacy, or other legal rights.
By submitting material for publication, you grant BWDN24 a non-exclusive, royalty-free permission to review, reproduce, display, publish, and distribute that material for the purposes agreed upon or reasonably necessary to operate the relevant website feature, subject to applicable law and any separate agreement.
You retain ownership of your material unless a separate written agreement states otherwise.
We may decline, remove, or restrict submitted material when appropriate, including where we receive a credible copyright complaint.

9. Review and Removal of Disputed Material

Depending on the circumstances and applicable law, we may:
- Remove or temporarily restrict access to the material.
- Correct attribution or add source information.
- Request evidence of permission or licensing.
- Decline a complaint that lacks sufficient information.
- Restore material where a complaint is withdrawn or the review establishes a valid basis for publication.

11. Repeat Copyright Infringement
BWDN24 does not knowingly authorise repeated infringement of copyright.
Where appropriate and consistent with applicable law, we may remove infringing material, restrict submission privileges, or take other reasonable measures in response to repeated or serious violations.
We may also cooperate with relevant rights holders or competent authorities where legally required.
12. Copyright and External Websites
Our website may link to external websites, publications, videos, images, and other third-party resources.
BWDN24 does not automatically own or control material hosted on external websites.

A link to an external source does not grant permission to reproduce its content.
