Terms of Use

Acceptance

By using this website you agree to these Terms of Use. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.

Using the website

You may read, share links to and quote brief extracts from our content for personal, non-commercial purposes, with attribution to VAUBAN VALIOS and a link to the original page.

Intellectual property

Unless stated otherwise, the design, text and original material on this site belong to VAUBAN VALIOS or are used with permission. Third-party material, including photographs and quotations, remains the property of its owners. Nothing in these terms grants you rights in third-party material. See Copyright & Content Concerns.

Editorial content

Our articles, profiles, books and other material are provided for general information and discussion. They are not professional, financial, legal or medical advice. We aim for accuracy, as described in our Editorial Policy, and correct material errors under our Corrections Policy.

Material you send us

If you send us text, images or other material, you confirm that you have the right to share it. Unless agreed otherwise in writing, you allow us to review it and, where we choose to publish it, to edit, format and publish it in connection with the publication. Sending material does not oblige us to publish it.

Links to other websites

Our pages may link to websites we do not control. We are not responsible for their content or practices, and a link is not an endorsement.

External services

Some features are provided by third parties. Full magazine issues, for example, may open on FlipHTML5, which operates under its own terms and privacy policy.

Books, ideas and enquiries

Some works in our Ideas section are free to read; others may be offered through external sellers. Purchases made on external sites are governed by that seller's terms. Commission and publishing enquiries are not binding agreements until confirmed in writing by both parties. Prices shown are indicative and may change.

Prohibited uses

You must not use the site unlawfully; attempt to gain unauthorised access to our systems; interfere with its operation; scrape or reproduce content at scale without permission; submit false, defamatory or infringing material; or impersonate any person or organisation.

Accounts

Where accounts are provided, you are responsible for keeping sign-in details secure and for activity under your account.

Availability

We work to keep the site available and accurate but cannot promise uninterrupted or error-free access. We may change, suspend or withdraw any part of it.

Limitation of liability

To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss arising from use of the site, or for loss caused by events outside our reasonable control. Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law.

Changes

We may update these terms. The date on this page shows the latest version; continued use after a change means you accept the updated terms.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws and courts named in the details panel on this page once confirmed.
