These are the terms for using Sumter.Today. They are short because the site is simple: it collects headlines from local news outlets and links to them.
What the site shows
Sumter.Today links out to, and credits, the outlets that publish the stories it lists. For each story it shows only the headline and a short excerpt supplied by the outlet, along with the outlet's name and a link to the original article. The full articles, photos and video are on the publishers' own websites.
Who owns the content
Headlines, excerpts and the articles they lead to belong to the outlets that published them, and are shown here under their own copyright. Sumter.Today claims no ownership of any of it. The arrangement of the site, its filters and its code are the publisher's.
No warranty
The site is provided as-is. It is updated automatically, so headlines can be out of date, wrongly categorized or missing, and the site itself can be unavailable at times. Nothing here is a promise of accuracy, completeness or availability. Check the original article before relying on anything you read on Sumter.Today, especially weather alerts and public notices.
Removal requests from publishers
If you publish one of the outlets listed on the Sources page and want a story, or your outlet altogether, removed from Sumter.Today, write in through the Contact page from an address at your outlet's domain. Removals are done by hand, as soon as the request is seen.
Corrections from readers
If a headline or excerpt here is wrong or misattributed, report it through the Contact page with a link to the story. Note that Sumter.Today only repeats what an outlet published; a mistake in the article itself is for that outlet to correct.
Permitted use
Sumter.Today is for personal, non-commercial reading. Do not scrape, copy or republish the site's pages or feeds, and do not use the site in a way that interferes with it or with the outlets it links to. If you want to use the site for something else, ask first.
Changes to these terms
These terms may change as the site changes. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page records the most recent revision; continuing to use the site after a change means you accept the revised terms.
