Legal Notice
NOTEDWhat changed, in plain language
Only the obfuscated email links changed. Cloudflare's email-protection scrambling produced different codes for the same two contact addresses. No terms, rights, or obligations changed.
This change appears to be cosmetic (formatting, typos, or contact details).
Changelog
- ± CHANGEDAccessibility contact link re-scrambled
The hidden code behind the accessibility feedback email address changed. This is just Cloudflare's spam-protection scrambling being regenerated — the address itself is the same.
