Effective date: October 18, 2026
Acceptance of These Terms
By using NewsForce247.com, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the site. These terms also apply to our related services, including our radio streams and mobile app, where they reference this site.
About Our Content
Content on this site is published for general information. We work to verify every story before it publishes and to correct the record when we get something wrong. News develops quickly, and developing stories may be updated as new information is confirmed; updates and corrections are part of the story, not a substitute for checking back on fast-moving events such as weather and school closings.
Ownership and Limited License
The stories, photos, graphics, audio, logos, and other content on this site are owned by AudiOH Media Group or our content providers and are protected by copyright and other laws. We grant you a limited, personal, non-commercial license to view and read our content. Stories, photos, and graphics on this site may not be republished in full without permission. Short excerpts may be shared with clear credit to NewsForce247.com and a link back to the original story. Our names and logos may not be used in a way that suggests endorsement without written permission.
Your Submissions
Readers and partners send us material in several ways: school closing and delay reports, news tips, comments on articles, contest entries, and texts to our radio listener line (614-304-1598). You keep ownership of anything you submit. By submitting, you grant AudiOH Media Group a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to publish, broadcast, and otherwise use the submission, in whole or in part, edited for length and clarity — including reading listener texts on air. Please only submit material you have the right to share, and do not submit anything that infringes someone else’s rights. Published comments appear with the name you provide, and we may moderate or remove comments that violate these terms.
Acceptable Use
When using this site, you agree not to:
- Use the site for any unlawful purpose or in violation of these terms;
- Submit false or misleading information — including school closing reports. Only authorized district staff using their issued district code may report a closing or delay, and knowingly submitting a false report is prohibited;
- Impersonate another person or organization;
- Interfere with the operation or security of the site, or scrape or harvest content or data in a way that burdens the site or republishes our work in full;
- Post spam, advertising, or material that is defamatory, threatening, or infringes the rights of others.
Contests and Promotions
Contests and promotions on this site are governed by the official rules published for each contest or promotion. If these terms and a promotion’s official rules conflict, the official rules control for that promotion.
Advertising and Sponsored Content
This site carries house advertising and paid sponsor placements. Sponsored content is labeled as such. Advertisers are responsible for their own advertisements and claims; the appearance of an advertisement is not an endorsement of the advertiser or its products by NewsForce247.com or AudiOH Media Group.
Links to Third-Party Sites
Links to third-party sites are provided for convenience; we are not responsible for their content. We do not control those sites, and visiting them is subject to their own terms and policies.
Disclaimer of Warranties
This site and its content are provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, express or implied, to the fullest extent permitted by law. We do not warrant that the site will be uninterrupted or error-free, or that any particular item of information will be complete or current at the moment you read it. For time-sensitive information such as school closings and severe weather, confirm with the school, district, or official agency directly.
Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by Ohio law, AudiOH Media Group and its staff will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising out of your use of, or inability to use, this site or its content. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited under applicable law.
Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless AudiOH Media Group and its staff from claims, damages, and expenses arising out of material you submit or your misuse of this site.
Copyright and Takedown Requests
We respect the intellectual property rights of others. If you believe that material on this site infringes your copyright, send us a notice through the Contact page on this site or by email to jack.bennett@audiohmedia.com. Your notice should include: your name and contact information; a description of the copyrighted work; the address (URL) of the material on our site; a statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on the owner’s behalf. We will review notices promptly and remove or disable access to material as appropriate.
Changes to These Terms
These terms may be updated from time to time. Changes take effect when they are posted on this page, and the effective date above will be updated. Your continued use of the site after a change means you accept the updated terms.
Governing Law
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Ohio, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute arising from these terms or your use of this site will be resolved in the state or federal courts located in Ohio.
