Terms of Service

These terms govern your use of The Saudi Times website at thesauditimes.net, including its English and Arabic editions and any associated services. By accessing or using the site, you agree to be bound by them. If you do not accept these terms, please do not use the site.

Use of the site

You may read, share and link to our journalism for personal, non-commercial purposes. You may not reproduce, republish, redistribute or systematically extract our content for commercial use without prior written permission. Automated scraping, bulk downloading, or any activity that places an unreasonable burden on our infrastructure is prohibited.

Intellectual property

All editorial content on this site — articles, photographs, graphics, video, and the design and arrangement of the site itself — is protected by copyright and remains the property of The Saudi Times or its licensors, unless otherwise stated. Third-party images are used under licence or under the terms specified in their accompanying credit.

Requests to reproduce our work should be directed to Publish@thesauditimes.net.

Contributions and submissions

If you submit material to us — including comments, letters, opinion pieces or story tips — you confirm that it is your own work or that you hold the rights to it, and you grant us a non-exclusive licence to publish and archive it. We reserve the right to edit submissions for length, clarity, accuracy and legal compliance, and to decline publication without giving reasons.

Accuracy and availability

We take reasonable care to ensure our reporting is accurate at the time of publication. News develops, and stories may be updated or corrected as facts emerge; our approach to this is set out in our Corrections Policy. We do not warrant that the site will be available without interruption or free of errors.

External links

Our articles link to third-party websites where relevant. We are not responsible for the content, accuracy or privacy practices of sites we do not operate. A link does not imply endorsement.

Not professional advice

Our reporting on markets, companies, investment and business is journalism, not financial, legal or investment advice. Readers should seek qualified professional guidance before acting on anything published here. See also our Disclaimer.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, The Saudi Times shall not be liable for any indirect or consequential loss arising from use of, or inability to use, this site or reliance on its content.

Governing law

These terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales. Any dispute arising from them shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.
