Terms of Use
General Use
- Users may access the website for personal, non-commercial purposes, provided they do so in a manner that does not disrupt the platform’s performance, security, or availability. This includes refraining from activities that place an unreasonable load on our servers or interfere with the experience of other visitors. The content offered is intended for informational reading and should not be misrepresented, redistributed, or used in ways incompatible with its original purpose.
- Visitors are expected to engage with the site responsibly, using accurate information when interacting with any features that request user input. Misleading details, misuse of interactive components, or attempts to manipulate site functionality undermine the integrity of the platform and are strictly prohibited. All users agree to comply with applicable laws when accessing or sharing material found on the site.
- The website reserves the right to modify or suspend access to any part of the platform without prior notice. This includes temporary interruptions required for maintenance, updates, or security enhancements. While we aim to minimise disruptions, users acknowledge that uninterrupted access is not guaranteed and may vary depending on technical or operational circumstances.
User Responsibilities
- Users must ensure that any content they submit via forms, comments, or communication channels is lawful, respectful, and factually accurate. Submissions must not contain offensive language, defamatory statements, or harmful material intended to disrupt discussions or cause distress. By interacting with the site, individuals accept responsibility for the information they provide and the consequences that may arise from sharing inappropriate or misleading content.
- To maintain a safe and trustworthy environment, users are prohibited from attempting to breach security features, gain unauthorised access to restricted areas, or interfere with data belonging to the website or its visitors. Any attempt to exploit vulnerabilities, introduce malware, or harvest information is strictly forbidden and may result in immediate access termination and further action where required.
- Users should maintain the confidentiality of any login or personal access credentials they use while engaging with the site. Sharing passwords, leaving accounts unattended, or allowing unauthorised individuals to access protected areas poses risks to the platform’s security and is considered a breach of these terms. Visitors agree to notify us promptly of any suspected compromise of their information.
Limitations & Liability
- The website strives to provide accurate, timely, and well-reviewed content, but we do not guarantee that every article, feature, or resource will be free from errors, omissions, or outdated information. Users acknowledge that the material published is for general informational purposes and should not be relied upon as a sole source for professional, financial, legal, or safety decisions. Independent verification is recommended when acting on any information found on the platform.
- We do not accept liability for losses, damages, or disruptions arising from the use or inability to use the website, including technical failures, interruptions, or inaccuracies in the content provided. This includes direct, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages, even where we have been advised of the possibility of such outcomes. Users access the site at their own risk and agree that the platform is made available without warranties of any kind.
- External links included within articles or features are provided for convenience and context. We do not endorse, guarantee, or take responsibility for the accuracy, security, or reliability of third-party websites. Users should review the terms and policies of any external site they visit, as these destinations operate independently and may follow different practices or standards.
Content & Intellectual Property
- All articles, images, design elements, and written features published on the website are protected by intellectual property laws. Unless explicitly stated otherwise, content may not be reproduced, distributed, or adapted without prior written permission. Users may share links for informational purposes, provided they do not alter or misrepresent the material or imply association or endorsement without consent.
- Contributors retain rights to their original work unless they have granted written permission transferring or licensing those rights to the website. Submitted content must not infringe on third-party intellectual property rights, including copyrighted text, images, or trademarks. Users submitting material guarantee that they hold the necessary rights and agree to take full responsibility for any infringement claims that may result.
- Use of automated tools, scraping systems, or data-collection technologies is prohibited unless express written consent has been granted. These activities compromise the integrity and security of our content and infrastructure. Users acknowledge that unauthorised reproduction or extraction of data may lead to legal action, access restrictions, or other appropriate measures to protect the site’s assets.
Governing Law
- These Terms of Use are governed by the laws of the United Kingdom. Users agree that any disputes, claims, or legal proceedings arising from the use of the website must be resolved within the jurisdiction of UK courts. By accessing the platform, visitors acknowledge that the governing law applies regardless of their geographical location or the country from which they access the site.
- In the event of a disagreement, both parties should first attempt to resolve issues through informal communication. This approach encourages clarity, cooperation, and resolution without escalating matters unnecessarily. If informal efforts fail, formal legal processes may proceed under the applicable UK legal framework.
- Users accept that these terms represent the full understanding between themselves and the website. Any failure to enforce specific provisions does not constitute a waiver of rights, and individual clauses remain valid even if others are deemed unenforceable by a competent authority. Continued use of the platform signifies acceptance of all terms listed herein.
