Effective date: 5 August 2026
Acceptance and scope
By using this website, you agree to these Terms of Use to the extent permitted by applicable law. If you do not agree, do not use the site. Mandatory rights that cannot lawfully be excluded remain unaffected.
Editorial and educational purpose
The website publishes evidence-led documentary analysis for general informational and educational purposes. It is not legal, financial, medical, tax, investment, or other professional advice. No content guarantees an outcome.
Accuracy, interpretation, and corrections
The publication aims for accuracy and clearly qualified conclusions, but historical records can be incomplete, contested, or later corrected. Readers should assess the cited evidence and use professional advice where a decision carries material risk. Meaningful error reports are handled under the Corrections Policy.
Intellectual property
Unless stated otherwise, original TVOI text, design, branding, and site materials are protected by applicable intellectual-property law. Limited quotation, linking, and other use may be permitted by law, but these terms do not grant a right to copy, republish, sell, scrape, train on, or redistribute substantial protected material.
Third-party names, marks, quotations, images, and sources remain the property of their respective owners and are used only on the basis identified for the relevant material.
Acceptable use
Do not interfere with site security or availability, attempt unauthorized access, upload malicious material, misrepresent affiliation, remove notices, or use automated access in a way that creates unreasonable load or violates applicable law.
External services and links
Links to third-party services are provided for reference or a requested function. The publication does not control their availability, content, security, or privacy practices. A link is not automatically an endorsement.
Availability and changes
The site, content, or features may be changed, corrected, suspended, or withdrawn. Continuous availability is not guaranteed.
Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the site is provided without guarantees beyond those that cannot lawfully be excluded. The operator is not responsible for indirect or consequential loss arising solely from reliance on general editorial content. Nothing here excludes liability that applicable law does not allow to be excluded.
