These terms govern your use of chipperycuriousvalt.bond, operated by Halcyon Circuit Media Ltd of Unit 4, Vantage House, 62 Ashcombe Row, Digbeth, Birmingham B5 6QN, United Kingdom. By accessing the site you accept them. If you do not accept them, please stop using the site. References to "we", "us" and "our" are to Halcyon Circuit Media Ltd.

2. Nature of the content

The site publishes editorial commentary about a fiction genre and its associated media and design language. It is provided for general information and interest. Selections and comparisons are editorial opinion, not measured results or rankings, and nothing on the site is professional advice of any kind. You are responsible for deciding whether any work described here is suitable for you, including checking age ratings, classifications and content warnings from the relevant publisher or distributor before purchasing or viewing.

3. Permitted use

You may read, link to, quote briefly with attribution, and print pages for your own personal, non-commercial use. You must not: republish substantial parts of the site elsewhere; use the site or its content for commercial purposes without our written permission; scrape, harvest or systematically extract content, including for the purpose of training machine learning models; attempt to gain unauthorised access to the site, its servers or any connected system; introduce malicious code; interfere with availability for other users; or use the site in any way that is unlawful, fraudulent or harmful.

4. Intellectual property

The text, layout, graphics, code and arrangement of this site are owned by or licensed to Halcyon Circuit Media Ltd and are protected by copyright and other intellectual property rights. All titles, characters, logos and trademarks referred to on this site belong to their respective owners and are named for the purposes of identification, review and commentary only. Nothing on this site should be read as a claim of ownership over, affiliation with, or endorsement by any rights holder.

5. Material you send us

If you send us a message, correction or suggestion, you confirm that you are entitled to send it and that it does not infringe anyone else's rights or contain unlawful material. You grant us permission to use the substance of your message to correct, improve or extend our content. We will not publish your name, contact details or the text of your message without asking you first. Do not send confidential information through the contact form.

6. Third-party links

The site links to external websites, including official sources for organisations and works we describe. Those sites are outside our control. We are not responsible for their content, accuracy, availability or practices, and a link is not an endorsement of the site or of anything sold on it.

7. Availability

We aim to keep the site available and current, but we give no guarantee that it will be uninterrupted, error-free or free of viruses. We may change, suspend or withdraw all or part of the site, and may correct, revise or remove content, at any time and without notice. Content is published on an evergreen basis and describes how things generally work rather than the state of affairs at any particular moment; you should verify anything time-sensitive with an official source.

8. Disclaimer and liability

The site is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we exclude all representations, warranties and conditions that are not expressly set out in these terms. We are not liable for any loss of profit, loss of business, business interruption, loss of data or loss of anticipated savings, or for any indirect or consequential loss, arising from your use of or inability to use the site or from reliance on its content. Nothing in these terms excludes or limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for any other liability that cannot lawfully be excluded. If you are a consumer, these terms do not affect your statutory rights.

9. Indemnity

If you use the site in breach of these terms and that causes us loss, cost or a claim by a third party, you agree to reimburse us for the reasonable losses and expenses we incur as a result.

10. Termination

We may restrict or withdraw your access to the site, in whole or in part, if we reasonably consider that you have breached these terms. The provisions on intellectual property, disclaimers, liability, indemnity and governing law continue to apply after any termination.

11. Changes to these terms

We may amend these terms from time to time. The version published on this page is the version that applies to your use of the site, so please check it when you return. Continued use of the site after a change amounts to acceptance of the amended terms.

12. Governing law and jurisdiction

These terms and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with them, their subject matter or formation, including non-contractual disputes or claims, are governed by and construed in accordance with the law of England and Wales. The courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction, save that if you are a consumer resident elsewhere in the United Kingdom you may also bring proceedings in the courts of the part of the United Kingdom in which you live.

13. Disputes

If you have a complaint about the site or its content, please contact us at [email protected] and set out the problem clearly. We will look into it and reply. We would prefer to resolve any dispute directly and in good faith before either side takes formal steps.

14. General

If any provision of these terms is found to be unlawful or unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in force. A delay in enforcing any part of these terms is not a waiver of our right to do so later. These terms are between you and us; no other person has any right to enforce them.

15. Contact

Questions about these terms should be sent to [email protected] or by post to Halcyon Circuit Media Ltd, Unit 4, Vantage House, 62 Ashcombe Row, Digbeth, Birmingham B5 6QN, United Kingdom.
