These Terms of Use are governed by the laws of Guernsey, Channel Islands. Guernsey operates as a self-governing Crown Dependency with its own legal system, distinct from the law of England and Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.
Any dispute arising in connection with these Terms shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Guernsey, except where applicable mandatory consumer protection law in your country of residence provides otherwise. Nothing in these Terms affects your statutory rights as a consumer under the laws of your own jurisdiction.
For visitors and customers based in the United Kingdom, your statutory rights under applicable UK consumer legislation are not affected by these Terms. For visitors and customers based in the European Union, your statutory rights under applicable EU consumer protection law, including but not limited to the Consumer Rights Directive, are similarly preserved.
For visitors and customers based in the United States, these Terms do not limit any rights you may have under applicable federal or state consumer protection law.
We make no representation that the Site or its content is appropriate or available for use in all jurisdictions. If you access the Site from outside Guernsey, you do so on your own initiative and are responsible for compliance with local laws to the extent they apply.
If you have any questions about these terms or how your information is handled, please feel free to get in touch. We believe good publishing should be thoughtful in every detail – including how we look after the people who visit our site.
