Terms of use

Using this site

The Big Fuss is a free news and stories website run by a small independent editorial team based in Cape Town, South Africa. By using thebigfuss.com you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.

Our content

Everything we publish is for general information. We check our facts and correct mistakes openly (see our corrections page), but we cannot promise every detail is complete or up to date. Nothing on this site is legal, medical, financial or professional advice. Speak to a qualified professional before making decisions that matter.

Stories that report claims, rumours or opinions say so. A claim reported here is not a claim we make ourselves.

Copyright

Our articles, headlines, charts and design belong to The Big Fuss. You are welcome to share links and quote a short extract with a link back to the original story. Please do not copy whole articles. Photos belong to their creators and are used under the licence shown in each photo credit.

Newsletter and messages

If you sign up for our newsletter, we email you about once a week and every email has an unsubscribe link. Messages sent through our contact form are read by our team and kept only as long as we need them. How we handle your information is explained in our privacy policy.

Links and advertising

We link to other websites as sources. We do not control those sites and are not responsible for what they publish. The site may show advertising from Google and its partners, and an ad is not an endorsement.

Behaving well

Do not try to break, overload or scrape the site, and do not use it for anything unlawful.

Changes

We may update these terms. The version on this page is the one that applies.
