Legal Notice
NOTEDWhat changed, in plain language
The only changes are to two obfuscated email links — the scrambled contact addresses were re-encoded. No terms, rights, or obligations changed. The document still shows the same 19 February 2026 update date.
This change appears to be cosmetic (formatting, typos, or contact details).
Changelog
- ± CHANGEDAccessibility contact link re-encoded
The hidden email address for accessibility feedback was scrambled a different way by the site's spam-protection tool. The contact itself is unchanged as far as the reader can tell.
