Terms for Our Readers
By reading Scotland Wide Living you accept the terms on this page. They are written to be read, not skimmed past, and they cover the few things that matter: what our articles are, what you may do with them and where our responsibility ends.
General information, not advice
Every article on the site explains a topic in general terms. None of it is medical, dental, legal, tax or financial advice for your situation, and reading it does not create any professional relationship between you and our writers. Health matters are personal: before acting on anything you read here, please check with a GP, pharmacist, dentist or other qualified professional. Our page Before You Act on Anything explains this more fully and lists situations that need urgent help.
The same caution applies to our small-business articles. Rules on registering, contracts and tax differ between countries and change over time, so take official guidance or professional advice before making decisions.
Accuracy and updates
We work hard to keep our articles accurate and to correct mistakes when we find them. Even so, guidance changes and errors slip through. We cannot promise that every page is complete or current on the day you read it. If you spot something that looks wrong, tell us through the contact page.
Using our content
- You are welcome to read, print and share links to any article for personal, non-commercial use.
- Quoting a short extract is fine, provided you name Scotland Wide Living and link to the original page.
- Please do not copy whole articles, republish them elsewhere, or present our writing as your own.
- Do not use the site in a way that could damage it or disrupt other readers, such as automated scraping at high volume.
Unless stated otherwise, the text and design of the site belong to the Scotland Wide Living team. Images are used under the terms of their licences.
Links to other websites
Some articles link to other websites, including the sites of businesses that are discussed in the text. We do not control those sites and are not responsible for their content, products, prices or privacy practices. A link is not a guarantee or a personal recommendation; please judge each site on its own merits.
Products and services mentioned
Where an article discusses a particular product or service, check the details with the provider directly and, for anything that affects your health, with a pharmacist or GP. Any purchase is between you and the seller.
Limits of our liability
So far as the law permits, the Scotland Wide Living team accepts no responsibility for loss or harm that follows from using these pages or relying on what they say. Any liability that the law says cannot be excluded remains unaffected by this page.
Changes
These terms can change as the site grows. Whatever wording appears here on the day you visit is the wording that counts. How we treat personal data is covered separately in Privacy and Your Details.
