What is RSS?
RSS (Really Simple Syndication) is an XML-based format for distributing and aggregating Web content (such as news headlines). Using RSS, Web content providers can easily create and disseminate feeds of data that include, for example, news links, headlines, and summaries.

What kind of content do we syndicate via RSS?
Hospitality Net currently offers an Industry News feeds in the RSS format:

http://rss.hsyndicate.com/index.xml

What are the terms of use?
The feeds are provided free of charge for use by individuals and non-profit organizations for personal, non-commercial uses.

Hospitality Net encourages you to use these feeds, so long as you do not post our full-text stories, and so long as you provide proper attribution to Hospitality Net. Whenever you post Hospitality Net content on your web site or anywhere else, please provide attribution to Hospitality Net either as text (Hospitality Net is our site name) or with a graphic (we reference a logo in each feed for this purpose) if you use the feeds publicly -- meaning, where anyone but yourself will read them. Hsyndicate reserves all rights in and to the logo, and your right to use the logo is limited to providing attribution in connection with the RSS. We don't require anything dramatic, but we do ask that you always note the source of the information. Logo: http://www.hospitalitynet.org/pics/hn_small.gif

Hospitality Net reserves the right to require you to cease distributing these feeds at any time for any reason.
