Welcome to Huko News. These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of https://hukonews.com (the “Site”), operated by Huko News (“we”, “us”, “our”). By accessing or using the Site you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site.

1. About the Service

Huko News is an educational service for people learning Korean. We select news stories published by Korean media outlets, rewrite them at graded difficulty levels, and add vocabulary lists, comprehension questions, and discussion prompts. Articles are provided in Korean, English, and Hungarian. The service is free to use and is supported by advertising.

2. Educational Purpose and Accuracy

All content on the Site is adapted and simplified for language-learning purposes. While we take care to preserve the facts of the original reporting, adapted articles are not verbatim reproductions and may omit detail, background, or nuance present in the source. Content on this Site is for language study and general information only, and must not be relied upon as a definitive record of events, nor as legal, financial, medical, or professional advice. Always consult the original publisher for the authoritative version of a story.

3. Intellectual Property and Third-Party Content

• The Site’s design, layout, adaptations, translations, vocabulary lists, and learning materials are owned by Huko News and protected by applicable copyright and other laws.

4. Acceptable Use

When using the Site you agree not to:

• Copy, republish, resell, or redistribute the Site’s adapted content or learning materials in bulk or as a competing service;
• Use automated systems (scrapers, bots, crawlers) in a way that imposes an unreasonable load on the Site, except for standard search-engine indexing;
• Attempt to gain unauthorised access to the Site, its servers, or any connected systems;
• Interfere with, disrupt, or circumvent security or access-control features of the Site;
• Use the Site for any unlawful purpose or in violation of any applicable regulation.

Personal, non-commercial study and classroom use of the articles is welcome. We may suspend or restrict access where these Terms are breached.

5. Advertising

The Site displays advertising supplied by third parties, including Google AdSense. We do not control the specific advertisements shown and are not responsible for the products, services, or content of advertisers or for any websites they link to. Your interactions with advertisers are solely between you and the advertiser. See our Privacy Policy for how cookies are used in connection with advertising.

6. Third-Party Links

The Site contains links to external websites, including original news sources and image providers. We do not control those sites and are not responsible for their content, policies, or availability. Following an external link is at your own risk and subject to that site’s terms.

7. Disclaimer of Warranties

The Site and all content are provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including but not limited to merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Site will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or free of harmful components.

8. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Huko News and its operators shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of data, profits, or goodwill, arising out of or in connection with your use of, or inability to use, the Site — even if advised of the possibility of such damages. Where liability cannot be excluded, it is limited to the greatest extent permitted by law.
