2. These terms

By using this website, you accept these terms. If you do not accept them, please do not use the site. Our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy also apply.

We may change, suspend or withdraw the site, or any part of it, at any time.

4. Our content

Content on this site belongs to the organization that published it, or to that organization's licensors. Datasets that the two organizations maintain together belong to both. You may view, download, print and share our content for non-commercial purposes, if you credit the organization that published it and link to the page. Research syntheses published by Centre for Human Progress are licensed under CC BY 4.0. These, and any other material marked with a Creative Commons license, may instead be reused on the terms of that license. You may not use our names and logos, or the names and logos of our partners, without permission.

5. Information, not advice

Our research, syntheses and other material are for general information. They are not legal, financial, medical or other professional advice. We work to keep the site accurate and up to date, but we do not promise that it is. Authors and affiliates speak for themselves. Affiliates and partners listed on the site are independent and do not speak for us unless we say so.

6. Links to other websites

We link to other sites for convenience. We do not control them and are not responsible for their content or their privacy practices.

We are not liable for any loss or damage arising from your use of the site or your reliance on its content, including indirect or consequential loss and loss of profit, business, data or opportunity.

Nothing in these terms limits or excludes liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or for anything else that the law does not allow us to limit or exclude. If you are a consumer, these terms do not affect your statutory rights.

9. Law and disputes

These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales, and disputes will be heard by the courts of England and Wales. If you are a consumer living outside England and Wales, you also keep the protection of the mandatory laws of the country where you live, and you may bring proceedings in your local courts.
