Terms & Conditions

Welcome to GSTC Blog. Reading and using the site means accepting the conditions on this page. We have tried to keep them brief and in everyday English, so they are worth a couple of minutes of your time.

The purpose of GSTC Blog

We publish general guides on food, cooking, teeth and gums, fitness, wellbeing and family life. They are meant to inform and give you ideas, never to stand in for advice from someone who knows your circumstances. The page Not Medical Advice is part of these terms, so please read it too.

Using our recipes

Kitchens involve hot pans, sharp knives and foods that some people cannot eat. Whenever you cook from one of our guides, please:

• check each ingredient against any allergy, intolerance or diet you follow;
• use appliances the way their makers intend;
• cook, cool, store and reheat food according to the food-safety advice in your country;
• trust your own eyes and nose when something in the pan does not look right.

Timings and amounts are starting points. Hobs, ovens and ingredients differ, and so will your results.

Exercise, diet and dental routines

Talk to a doctor, dentist or other qualified person before taking up a new kind of exercise, overhauling your diet or trying a new dental product, particularly if you live with a health condition, take medicines or are expecting a baby. Acting on anything you read here is your own decision.

Our words and how to share them

Unless we say otherwise, the writing and design of GSTC Blog belong to its team. Without asking, you may:

• link to any of our pages;
• quote a few lines, as long as you name GSTC Blog and link to the article;
• print or save pages for private use at home.

Copying complete articles, presenting our work as yours or building it into something you sell needs our written agreement first. For anything else, ask through the contact page.

Outside links

Several articles send readers to websites we have nothing to do with. They are there because they relate to the subject; we do not run those sites, cannot vouch for everything on them and are not part of any arrangement you make with their owners.

Getting things right

We take care and fix errors once we know about them, yet no article can be guaranteed complete, current and flawless forever. Our Spotted an Error? page explains how to flag a problem.

Limits of responsibility

To the extent permitted by law, the team behind GSTC Blog accepts no liability for loss, harm or damage that follows from using or relying on anything published here. Responsibility that the law says cannot be excluded is not affected.

Keeping the site running

Pages, sections or the entire site may change, go offline for a while or be removed, without warning.

Revisions

These conditions can be revised. Whatever version appears here on the day you visit is the one that counts. Our approach to personal data is set out separately in Privacy & Data.
