Legal Notice
NOTEDWhat changed, in plain language
Nothing meaningful changed. The only differences are two obfuscated email links whose scrambled codes were regenerated — the same contact addresses, just encoded differently. All terms, rights, and obligations are identical.
This change appears to be cosmetic (formatting, typos, or contact details).
Changelog
- ± CHANGEDAccessibility contact link code refreshed
The scrambled code behind the accessibility feedback email link changed. This is how the site hides email addresses from spam bots, and it gets regenerated periodically. The email address itself is unchanged.

- ± CHANGEDQueries contact link code refreshed
Same thing for the email link in the "Queries" section — only the spam-protection code changed, not the contact address or how you reach them.
