Using this site

You may read, link to and share our work for personal, non-commercial purposes. You may not republish our articles in full, systematically copy the site, scrape it at a scale that burdens our servers, or use automated means to extract our content without written permission.

You may not use this site to break the law, to interfere with its operation or security, or to misrepresent your identity or affiliation.

Our content

Unless stated otherwise, the text on this site is our work and remains our property. Photographs and other images may be licensed from third parties and carry their own terms; a credit on an image does not transfer any rights to you.

Short quotations for the purposes of reporting, criticism, comment or teaching are welcome where they are accompanied by a clear credit and a link to the original article.

Accuracy and reliance

We take care to publish accurate reporting, and we correct errors under our Corrections Policy. Even so, our journalism is published as information, not as professional advice. Nothing on this site is legal, financial, medical or investment advice, and you should not act on it without taking advice appropriate to your circumstances.

Links to other sites

We link to other websites where it helps our readers. We do not control those sites, do not endorse their content by linking to them, and are not responsible for what they publish.

Availability

We do not guarantee that this site will be available without interruption or free of errors. We may change, suspend or withdraw any part of it at any time.

Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we exclude liability for any loss arising from your use of, or inability to use, this site or anything you rely on from it. Nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which the publisher is established, and disputes arising from them are subject to the courts of that jurisdiction.

Changes to these terms

We may revise these terms. The current version is always the one published on this page, with its date at the top.
