This policy applies to the website aarthikdainik.com, its subdomains, and the
Aarthik Dainik mobile applications for Android and iOS (together, the “Platform”),
all operated by Aarthik Dainik Pvt. Ltd. (“Aarthik Dainik”, “we”, “us”, or “our”).
Advertising keeps Aarthik Dainik's journalism free to read. This policy explains how we handle it. It
is consistent with the Advertisement (Regulation) Act, 2076 (2019) and the
Consumer Protection Act, 2075 (2018) of Nepal.
Separation of advertising and editorial
- Advertisers have no influence over news coverage, story selection or editorial opinion.
- All advertising and sponsored content is clearly labelled — for example “Advertisement”, “Sponsored”, or “Partner content” — and is visually distinct from journalism.
- Sponsored content is produced separately from the newsroom and does not carry a staff-reporter byline as news.
What we do not accept
- Advertising that is false, misleading or deceptive, or that makes unsubstantiated claims.
- Ads for illegal products or services; tobacco and related products; unlicensed financial schemes, “guaranteed return” investment offers, betting and gambling where restricted by law.
- Content that is discriminatory, defamatory, obscene, or that endangers public health or safety.
- Political advertising during periods restricted by the Election Commission, and any political ad that is not clearly attributed to its sponsor.
- Ads that imitate news content in a way designed to mislead, or that use Aarthik Dainik's name or logo without permission.
Programmatic and third-party ads
Some ads are delivered automatically through third-party networks such as Google. We set category
filters to block sensitive and prohibited content, but we do not review every programmatic ad before it
runs. If you see an ad that breaks this policy, tell us at aarthik.dainik@gmail.com with a
screenshot and we will act.
Advertiser responsibilities
Advertisers are responsible for ensuring their content and claims comply with Nepali law and for
holding any required licences and evidence for claims. We may require substantiation and may refuse or
remove any ad at our discretion.
