The BritainPost Promise
BritainPost is building the next generation of intelligent journalism—bringing together experienced editorial judgement, responsible artificial intelligence and transparent reporting to help readers understand the stories shaping Britain and the world.
A fair framework for using BritainPost.
BritainPost is designed to inform, explain and assist. These terms help protect readers, our journalism and the services that support it.
Information, not professional advice
BritainPost reporting and explanations are general information and should not replace appropriate legal, medical, financial or other professional advice.
AI responses may contain errors
Nia is an assistance feature. Important claims should be checked against published reporting and reliable primary sources.
Respect intellectual property
BritainPost articles, branding, design and original media may not be copied or commercially reused without permission unless the law allows it.
Third parties have their own terms
External websites, social networks, payment providers and other linked services operate independently.
Do not misuse the platform
Do not attack, overload, scrape unlawfully, manipulate or interfere with BritainPost or its users.
BritainPost is operated by Bearlet Ltd.
These terms form an agreement between the person using BritainPost and Bearlet Ltd.

Company number 16819066

Acceptance of these terms
By accessing or using BritainPost, you agree to follow these terms. If you do not agree, you should stop using the relevant service.
Additional terms may apply to a future paid feature, promotion, competition, mobile application or other specialist service.
Access is provided for lawful and responsible use.
You may browse BritainPost and use available reader features subject to these terms and applicable law.
Use the service honestly.
Do not impersonate another person, submit false contact information, misrepresent your authority or use BritainPost to deceive others.
Do not damage or disrupt the platform.
You must not introduce malicious code, attempt unauthorised access, bypass security controls, overwhelm infrastructure or interfere with normal operation.
Respect reasonable technical limits.
Automated access, scraping, crawling or extraction must not breach applicable law, ignore technical restrictions, create excessive load or reproduce protected content unlawfully.
Do not use features for harmful activity.
Contact forms, Nia and other interactive services must not be used for threats, harassment, unlawful content, spam, fraud or attempts to obtain confidential system information.
Journalism develops as facts become available.
BritainPost aims for accuracy and clarity, but news is often published while events are still developing.
Updates and corrections
Articles may be updated when new information becomes available. A developing update is not necessarily a correction, although material errors should be corrected appropriately.
Our editorial principles are described in the Editorial Standards page.
No guaranteed completeness
We work to provide useful and reliable information, but cannot promise that every article or feature will always be complete, current, error-free or suitable for every individual purpose.
Readers should consider the publication date, source context and whether a story has subsequently changed.
Assistance should support understanding—not replace judgement.
Nia uses automated systems to help explain BritainPost reporting and answer reader questions.
Responses are produced automatically
Nia may misunderstand a question, omit context or produce information that is inaccurate, incomplete or outdated.
Check important information
Important decisions should not rely solely on an AI response. Review the underlying article and suitable authoritative sources.
Do not submit confidential material
Do not provide passwords, payment details, private records, confidential documents or sensitive personal information to Nia.
No professional advice
Nia and BritainPost content do not provide legal, medical, financial, investment, tax or other regulated professional advice. Seek help from a suitably qualified professional when a decision requires it.
Original work deserves protection.
BritainPost contains journalism, software, visual design, branding and other material protected by intellectual-property laws.
BritainPost material
Unless stated otherwise, BritainPost or its licensors own the rights in original articles, summaries, graphics, page design, software, branding and other original material published through the service.
“BritainPost”, its logos and related visual identity may not be used in a way that falsely suggests endorsement, partnership or official affiliation.
Permitted personal use
You may read, link to and share links to publicly available BritainPost pages. You may quote limited extracts where permitted by law and with appropriate attribution.
Republishing complete articles, systematically copying content, creating a competing archive or commercially exploiting BritainPost material requires prior written permission unless an applicable legal exception clearly permits the use.
Not everything displayed is owned by BritainPost.
Articles may include licensed images, attributed reporting, embedded services or links to external material.
Third-party material remains subject to the rights, licences and attribution requirements of its respective owner or provider. A BritainPost page does not grant you additional rights in that material.
External links are provided for context or convenience. We do not control the availability, security, accuracy, privacy practices or terms of an external service.
Only submit material you are authorised to share.
This applies to contact messages, correction requests, partnership enquiries and any future reader-submission features.
Your responsibility
You are responsible for the information and material you submit. You must have the necessary rights and authority to provide it and must not knowingly submit unlawful, defamatory, misleading or infringing material.
Permission to process a submission
You permit us to review, store, reproduce internally and otherwise process submitted material as reasonably necessary to handle the enquiry, investigate a correction, provide support or meet legal and editorial responsibilities.
Subscription is optional.
Newsletter delivery depends on the email address and preferences supplied by the reader.
You are responsible for providing an address you are authorised to use. Delivery may be delayed or prevented by technical failures, filtering, provider restrictions or an invalid address.
You may unsubscribe using the route provided in a newsletter. Personal information is handled as described in our Privacy Policy .
Digital services change over time.
BritainPost may evolve as journalism, technology and reader needs develop.
Service availability
We may update, suspend, restrict or withdraw a feature for maintenance, security, editorial, legal, technical or commercial reasons.
We do not promise uninterrupted access to every page, archive, article, newsletter or AI feature.
Changes to these terms
We may update these terms when services, laws, technology or business arrangements change.
The updated version applies from the date shown on this page. Material changes may receive additional notice where appropriate.
These terms do not remove rights protected by law.
Nothing in these terms excludes or limits responsibility where doing so would be unlawful.
To the extent permitted by law, BritainPost is not responsible for loss caused solely by reliance on general informational content, an AI-generated response, an external service or circumstances outside our reasonable control.
Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability for fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation, death or personal injury caused by negligence, or any other liability that cannot legally be excluded.
Your statutory rights are not affected.
