Your responsibilities

You confirm that you own or have permission to submit what you post, that it does not infringe anyone's rights, and that it is not unlawful, defamatory, harassing, hateful, threatening, obscene, or otherwise objectionable. You agree not to post spam, off-topic promotion, or personal data about identifiable third parties.

Licence you grant us

You keep ownership of what you write. You grant us a perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive licence to display, reproduce, distribute, moderate, and (where appropriate) edit for length or to redact personal information, in connection with running the site. This licence is limited to running the site and its archives. We do not sublicense your comments to third parties for independent use.

Our moderation rights

We may, at our discretion and without notice, decline to publish any comment, remove or edit a published comment, or block users and IP addresses that abuse the comment system. We are not obliged to moderate, and the absence of moderation on any particular comment is not an endorsement of it.

4. Intellectual property

Original content on this site (articles, imagery, layout, and the selection and arrangement of content) is protected by copyright and is © Orderly Panic, except where another source is credited. All rights are reserved.

You may quote short extracts with clear attribution and a link back, and link to pages on the site freely. You may not, without our prior written permission, republish articles in whole or in substantial part, use our content to train machine-learning models, or use our name, branding, or imagery in a way that suggests endorsement.

5. Third-party content and links

The site quotes from, references, and links to third-party publications and official sources. We do not control those sources, we cannot guarantee their accuracy or availability, and a link from this site does not imply endorsement. Your use of third-party sites is subject to their own terms.

6. No warranty

The site is provided "as is" and "as available". We make no warranty that it will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or that any particular article is accurate or complete. See our Editorial Standards & Disclaimer for how content is produced and what that means for accuracy. To the fullest extent permitted by law, all implied warranties, conditions, and other terms are excluded.

7. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any indirect, consequential, incidental, or special loss arising out of your use of the site, nor for content submitted by users or hosted on third-party sites we link to.

Nothing in these terms limits or excludes our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud, or for any other liability that cannot lawfully be limited or excluded.

8. Privacy

How we handle personal data is set out in our Privacy Policy.

9. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page will reflect the latest change, and material changes will be flagged with a notice on the site for a reasonable period. Your continued use of the site after a change takes effect means you accept the updated terms.

10. Governing law

These terms, and any dispute arising out of or in connection with them, are governed by the law of The United Kingdom, and the courts of The United Kingdom have jurisdiction to hear any such dispute. If you are a consumer, any mandatory consumer-protection rules of the place where you live still apply to you.
