Legal Notice

NOTED
DATED 2026-02-19 · VERSION 20260826_rev01 · COMPARED WITH 20260825_rev01

What changed, in plain language

Nothing in this update changes your rights. The only differences are two scrambled email links on the page, which were re-encoded by the site's spam-protection tool. Both still point to the same addresses (accessibility.queries@oup.com and WebEnquiry.UK@oup.com), and the notice still shows the same "Updated: 19 February 2026" date.

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