Legal Notice
NOTEDWhat changed, in plain language
Nothing meaningful changed. Only two obfuscated email-address links were re-encoded, which is a routine anti-spam scrambling that happens automatically. The actual terms, your rights, and the contact addresses themselves are unchanged.
This change appears to be cosmetic (formatting, typos, or contact details).
Changelog
- ± CHANGEDAccessibility contact link re-scrambled
The link behind the accessibility contact email was re-encoded. This is an automatic anti-spam trick the website uses to hide email addresses from bots. The email address itself did not change.

Same thing for the email address in the 'Queries' section at the bottom. Only the scrambled code changed, not the address or who you contact.
