Legal Notice
NOTEDWhat changed, in plain language
Only the scrambled email-protection links changed — the underlying contact addresses and every term stayed the same.
This change appears to be cosmetic (formatting, typos, or contact details).
Changelog
- ± CHANGEDAccessibility contact link re-encoded
The link behind the accessibility contact email was re-scrambled by Cloudflare's email protection. The address it points to is unchanged — this is just how the site hides emails from spam bots.
