Copyright & DMCA

Last updated: 13 November 2026.

Aljaweea is published by Mena Alfadaya Media and Marketing Co (شركة مينا الفضائية للدعاية والتسويق), a single-person company registered in Kuwait — Commercial Registration No. 530702 (“we”, “us”, “our”). This page sets out who owns the content on aljaweea.com, what you may and may not do with it, how to license or syndicate our work, and how to report material on our site that infringes your own copyright.

We want our journalism read, quoted, and shared. The terms below are meant to make legitimate reuse easy and to mark clearly the line beyond which you need our permission.

Ownership

All content published on aljaweea.com is protected by copyright. This includes the text of our articles, headlines and standfirsts, photographs, illustrations, graphics, charts, audio, video, page design, and the selection and arrangement of the site as a whole.

Aljaweea is a bilingual publication. Our English and Arabic versions of a story are each protected in their own right. A translation is an original work under copyright law, so reproducing either language version, or moving our work from one language into another, needs the same permission as reproducing the original.

Unless a piece states otherwise, copyright in this content belongs to Mena Alfadaya or is used by us under licence from the rights-holder. The names “Aljaweea” and “Mena Alfadaya”, together with our logos and visual identity, are protected marks of the company. Nothing on this page grants you any right to use them.

This protection arises automatically under Kuwait’s Law No. 75 of 2019 on Copyright and Related Rights, under the Berne Convention to which Kuwait is a party, and under the copyright laws of the other countries in which our work is read. No registration or copyright notice is needed for the protection to exist.

What you may do

You do not need to ask us before doing any of the following, provided you act in good faith and give proper credit.

What you may not do without permission

The following go beyond fair quotation and need our written permission first.

• Republishing. You may not reproduce, republish, post, broadcast, or redistribute a whole article or a substantial part of one — in any language and on any platform — whether or not you charge for it.
• Translating. You may not translate our work, in whole or in substantial part, for publication or distribution without our consent.
• Bulk and systematic copying. You may not copy, store, or archive our content systematically, in bulk, or on a recurring basis.
• Bulk reuse by automated means. We welcome search engines, AI assistants and similar services that crawl and index the website in line with our robots.txt and ordinary web conventions — being found, quoted and linked helps us. What we do not allow is the bulk copying, scraping, republication or redistribution of our content by others without permission.
• Commercial reuse. You may not use our content for any commercial purpose — including selling, sub-licensing, or building a product or service on it — without a licence from us.
• Misrepresentation. You may not alter our content in a way that distorts its meaning, remove our credit, or present our work as your own or as endorsed by us.

These restrictions do not override any right you hold under mandatory provisions of applicable copyright law. Where the law gives you a right we cannot lawfully remove, that right stands.

Licensing and syndication

If you would like to do more than fair quotation allows — republish an article, run a translation, syndicate our coverage, license a photograph, or use our work commercially — we are open to it. Many requests are straightforward and we try to answer them quickly.

We will respond with the terms, including any fee and the credit we require. Please do not republish or syndicate our work until we have agreed terms in writing.

Third-party material and credits

Some content on our site does not belong to us. We use photographs, agency material, data, and other works under licence from their owners, and we credit them where credit is due.

Where content carries a third-party credit, the rights in that content belong to the named owner, and our permission does not extend to it. If you want to reuse third-party material that appears on our site, you must clear it with the rights-holder, not with us. Our licences from agencies and other suppliers are for our own use and cannot be passed on.

If you believe we have used your work without proper credit or permission, please tell us — see the next section. We take such reports seriously and will correct or remove material where a claim is well founded.

Reporting an infringement of your copyright

If you own the copyright in a work, or are authorised to act for the owner, and you believe content on aljaweea.com infringes your rights, you may send us a notice and we will review it.

Where to send it. Email your notice to [email protected]. This is the address we monitor for copyright claims.

What happens next. When we receive a notice that contains the information above, we will review it. Where a claim appears well founded, we will act promptly, including by removing or disabling access to the material where appropriate, and we will tell the person who posted or supplied it, where there is one. Reviewing a notice, or taking interim action on it, does not mean we accept that an infringement has occurred; where we conclude that the use was lawful — for example, fair quotation or properly licensed material — we will say so and explain why.

If you are the person whose material was removed (counter-notice). If we have removed or disabled access to material you supplied and you believe this was a mistake, or that the material does not in fact infringe, you may send a counter-notice to the same address. Tell us which material was removed and where it appeared, give your name and contact details, and confirm that you believe in good faith the material was removed by mistake or misidentification. We will consider it and may restore the material if the claim is not pursued or proves not to be well founded.

Repeat infringement. We may remove content from, and decline further dealings with, anyone who repeatedly supplies infringing material.

A note on our hosting (DMCA)

Our site is delivered through service providers, some of them based in the United States, including our host and content-delivery network. Because of this, a takedown request made under the United States Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) may also be relevant, and our US-based providers operate their own DMCA notice procedures alongside the process set out above.

For content we publish, the quickest route is to send your notice directly to us at [email protected]. A notice that meets the requirements in the previous section will, in practice, contain what a DMCA notice needs.

Governing law and contact

This notice is governed by the law of Kuwait, without prejudice to any mandatory copyright rights you hold under the law of your own country. For any question about copyright, licensing, syndication, or an infringement claim, write to us at [email protected].

This page sets out our position on copyright. It is not legal advice, and it does not limit any remedy available to us or to you under the law.
