Legal Notice

NOTED

DATED 2026-02-19 · VERSION 20260816_rev01 · COMPARED WITH 20260815_rev01

What changed, in plain language

Nothing in the terms actually changed. The only differences are the scrambled codes behind two "email protection" links, which Cloudflare regenerates automatically each time the page is served. The email addresses, the rules, and the "Updated: 19 February 2026" date are all the same.

This change appears to be cosmetic (formatting, typos, or contact details).

Changelog

± CHANGEDContact link codes regenerated (no real change)
The website hides its email addresses behind scrambled codes so spam bots can't read them. Those codes get re-scrambled automatically, so the link text looks different even though the email address is exactly the same. This happened for the accessibility feedback contact and the website concerns contact.
