Legal Notice
NOTEDWhat changed, in plain language
Nothing about your rights changed. The only edits are to two scrambled email links (the code that hides staff email addresses from spam bots), and both still lead to the same addresses as before. All the actual rules — privacy, acceptable use, liability, content posting, and English law/courts — are word-for-word identical, and the "Updated: 19 February 2026" date is unchanged.
This change appears to be cosmetic (formatting, typos, or contact details).
Changelog
- ± CHANGEDAccessibility contact link re-scrambled
The link behind the accessibility feedback email was re-encoded. Oxford University Press uses a spam-protection tool that scrambles email addresses and re-scrambles them each time the page is served, so the code looks different even though the address behind it is the same one (accessibility.queries@oup.com).

- ± CHANGEDQueries contact link re-scrambled
The same thing happened to the link for reporting concerns about material on the website. Only the scrambled code changed; it still points to the same address (WebEnquiry.UK@oup.com).
