Terms of Use
Last updated
Before you publish: replace every bracketed placeholder and have this reviewed against the law of your jurisdiction. This template is a starting point, not legal advice.
These terms govern your use of [YOUR DOMAIN] ("the site"), operated by [YOUR NAME OR COMPANY]. By using the site you accept these terms. If you do not accept them, please stop using the site.
Information only
The site publishes general educational information about solar energy. Nothing on it constitutes engineering, electrical, construction, tax, legal or financial advice, and nothing on it creates a professional relationship between you and us. See our disclaimer for the detail, which forms part of these terms.
Use of the site
You may read, print and share our pages for your own non-commercial use. You may not republish our articles in whole or in substantial part, sell access to them, scrape the site at volume, use automated tools that degrade its availability, or present our content as your own.
You may quote short extracts with clear attribution and a link to the original page.
Intellectual property
Unless stated otherwise, the text, tables, diagrams, code and design of this site are our property or used under licence, and are protected by copyright. Product names and trademarks belong to their respective owners; we use them for identification only and their appearance does not imply any endorsement or affiliation.
Accuracy and currency
We take care to be accurate and to cite our sources, but solar pricing, product specifications and regulations change frequently. We make no warranty that any figure remains current, and we may change or remove content without notice. Always verify specifications against the manufacturer's current datasheet and regulations against the official source before acting.
Third-party links and advertising
The site links to third-party websites and displays advertising served by third-party networks. We do not control that content and are not responsible for it. A link or an advertisement is not an endorsement, and any dealings you have with a third party are between you and them.
Your submissions
If you send us a message, correction or suggestion, you grant us permission to use it to improve the site, including publishing a correction. Do not send us confidential information. We may decline to act on any submission.
Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any loss or damage — including lost savings, wasted expenditure, equipment damage, or consequential loss — arising from your use of the site or from reliance on any information in it. Some jurisdictions do not permit the exclusion of certain liabilities, and nothing here excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud.
Indemnity
You agree to indemnify us against claims arising from your misuse of the site or your breach of these terms.
Availability
We aim to keep the site available but do not guarantee uninterrupted access. We may suspend, withdraw or restrict all or part of it for any reason.
Changes to these terms
We may revise these terms. The date at the top of this page reflects the current version, and continued use of the site after a change means you accept the revised terms.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of [YOUR COUNTRY / STATE], and the courts of [YOUR JURISDICTION] have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute.
