Disclaimer

This disclaimer applies to wenepal.com, the WeNepal app, our feeds, newsletters, push notifications, videos and social channels (together, "the service"). In this page "WeNepal", "we" and "us" mean the publisher that operates the service. It should be read with the terms of use, which govern your use of the service and prevail if the two conflict.

WeNepal is an independent news publisher. It is not a government body, it does not represent the Government of Nepal or any government agency, ministry, local body or political party, and it is not affiliated with, endorsed by or funded by any of them. Nothing on WeNepal is an official notice, and you cannot apply for, pay for or receive any government service through WeNepal.

Some of what we publish comes from public government information. Where it does, we name the source so you can check the original with that body:

• Exchange rates (the forex tool) are the reference rates published by Nepal Rastra Bank.
• The Promise Tracker summarises commitments from public documents such as the government's policies and programmes and the budget, naming the official source behind each item.
• Public holidays in the calendar come only from the government's published holiday notice.
• News stories that rely on statements, notices or data from ministries, departments or other public bodies name that public body in the story.

Official versions are always the ones published by the government body itself, for example the Government of Nepal and the relevant ministry or department. If our summary and the official source differ, the official source is correct; please tell us at corrections so we can fix it.

Official sources for government information (named here for reference; please look them up directly):

• Government of Nepal portal
• Office of the Prime Minister and Council of Ministers
• Office of the President
• Federal Parliament
• Ministry of Finance
• National Planning Commission
• Ministry of Federal Affairs and General Administration
• Election Commission
• Supreme Court
• Commission for the Investigation of Abuse of Authority
• Office of the Auditor General
• Nepal Law Commission
• Nepal Rastra Bank
• Securities Board of Nepal
• Nepal Telecommunications Authority

Everything on WeNepal is general news and information about Nepal and the world. It is published so readers can stay informed. It is not professional advice of any kind.

• Not financial or investment advice. Stories about NEPSE, shares, IPOs, interest rates, gold, remittance or the rupee report what happened and what sources said. They are not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold anything. Do your own research and speak to a licensed adviser before you invest.
• Not legal advice. Stories about laws, court cases, rules and government decisions summarise public information. They do not tell you what to do in your own situation. Speak to a lawyer.
• Not medical advice. Health stories are not a diagnosis or a treatment plan. In an emergency, contact a doctor, a hospital or the relevant health authority.
• Not an official warning service. For floods, landslides, earthquakes, weather warnings, public health orders and security alerts, follow the instructions of the Government of Nepal, the Department of Hydrology and Meteorology, local authorities and emergency services. Our reports may lag behind official notices.

WeNepal stories are built from public reports and official information and written in our own words. Staff write, edit and approve stories, with automated tools, including AI, helping to find, sort and draft; every draft is checked automatically against its sources. Some stories are prepared and published automatically after passing every check, and carry the byline "LacNova AI", the name of WeNepal's own newsroom AI. Stories on sensitive subjects such as elections, courts, deaths, communal issues, named individuals, minors and health emergencies publish only after also passing strict extra checks; a story that fails them is not published. Editors can edit, correct or unpublish any story at any time. How we use AI explains the process.

These checks reduce errors; they do not remove them. A summary can still misread a source, miss context or be overtaken by events. When you need certainty, check with the official body concerned. We keep every story's sources on record, and you can ask us about a story at corrections.

News changes quickly. A story is accurate to the best of our knowledge at the time shown on it. We update and correct stories in public, as described in the corrections and right of reply policy, but we do not guarantee that every item is complete, current or free of error at the moment you read it. Check the published and updated times.

We do not name or link other news outlets in our stories; we keep the sources our stories are based on in our records. Where we link to an official body, a document or another site, that site is responsible for its own content. A link is a reference, not an endorsement, and we have no control over the sites we link to, their availability, their accuracy or their privacy practices.

• Market and exchange-rate figures come from the sources named beside them (for example Nepal Rastra Bank or NEPSE) and may be delayed or later revised by the source. Do not use them for trading or for any transaction where an exact, current figure matters.
• Weather in the app uses forecast data from Open-Meteo, credited on screen. Forecasts are estimates and can be wrong.
• Calculators and converters (date conversion, land units, amounts in words, EMI, VAT, gold and silver, units, age, BMI) give arithmetic results from the values you enter and the standard conversion rules. They are for convenience only. Check any figure that matters with the bank, office or professional responsible for it.
• The calendar does not show public holidays or festivals until they are loaded from the government's official notice. We do not guess dates.

The Promise Tracker and Radar profiles are based on public records and cited sources. A status such as "delivered", "in progress", "stalled" or "broken" is an editorial assessment made under the published methodology. It is not a legal finding about any person or institution.

Editorials are clearly labelled and express WeNepal's own view. Sponsored content is labelled "Sponsored" and advertisements are labelled "Advertisement". An advertisement or sponsorship is not an endorsement by WeNepal of the advertiser, its products or its claims. See the advertising and sponsored content policy.

Photographs on WeNepal are our own or used under licences that need no credit line (for example Pixabay, Pexels or CC0). A photo may illustrate the subject of a story without showing the exact event, place or moment described. Some WeNepal videos use a synthetic voice-over; on YouTube, Facebook, Instagram and TikTok we turn on the platform's own synthetic content setting. We never generate images of real people.

To the fullest extent permitted by the law of Nepal, WeNepal is not liable for any loss or damage arising from your reliance on the service or on any content, data, tool result, link or advertisement in it. The full limitation of liability is in the terms of use. Nothing in this disclaimer excludes a liability that cannot be excluded by law.

Our legal and policy pages explain how WeNepal works and the rules that apply between you and us. They are not legal advice to you. If you need advice about your own rights or obligations, consult a qualified lawyer.
