Terms · use, quotation, limits, law
1. Who publishes the site
This site is published by Craft of Reporting Ltd, CRO 698412, 8 South Mall, Cork, T12 R5NP, Ireland. Telephone +353 21 486 2270, email [email protected].
These terms apply to every page on the domain. If you do not accept them, the appropriate course is not to use the site. Nothing in these terms restricts any right you have as a consumer under Irish or European law that cannot lawfully be excluded.
2. What the site provides
The site provides general written teaching notes about reporting practice. It provides no service, no product, no course, no assessment, no certification and no personal assistance. It is not a school, college or training provider, it holds no accreditation, and it awards no qualification, credit, certificate or completion record of any kind.
The site is not a law firm and provides no legal advice. It is not a publisher of news and reports no current events. It is not a recruitment service and arranges no work, placement, internship or commission. It does not review unpublished work and does not act in any complaint between a reader and another publisher.
3. Permitted use
- You may read, print and store pages for your own use, including in teaching or study.
- You may quote short extracts with attribution to Craft of Reporting and a reference to the page.
- You may link to any page on this site without asking.
- You may not present the material as an accredited programme, a qualification, or evidence of certified training.
- You may not republish a chapter in substance, whether whole or lightly reworded, without written permission.
- You may not remove or alter the notices, disclaimers or attribution when reproducing an extract.
- You may not use the material or the site name in a way that implies endorsement, partnership or supervision.
- You may not attempt to interfere with the site, its files or its availability.
Requests for anything beyond the above go to the desk with General as the first word of the subject line. Permission for classroom reproduction is normally straightforward, provided the material is not described as accredited and is attributed.
4. Intellectual property
The text, structure, tables, checklists, stylesheet, script and hand-drawn vector illustrations on this site are the work of the publisher, and copyright is retained. Names of institutions, statutes and codes are used descriptively as references and remain the property or the instruments of the bodies concerned; their use here implies no association with them.
5. Accuracy and no reliance
The material is written carefully, reviewed against sources and corrected when wrong, and it is still general information about a field that changes. Practice varies between newsrooms, statutes are amended, codes are revised and bodies are renamed or given new functions. Nothing here is a statement of the current law and nothing here is advice about your situation.
You should not rely on any chapter as the basis for a publication decision, a legal position, a complaint, a response to a legal letter or a decision about a source. Where a decision has consequences, obtain advice from a suitably qualified professional who can consider your specific facts and the current position of the law in your jurisdiction.
6. Liability
The site is provided as it is. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the publisher excludes liability for any loss arising from use of, or reliance on, the material, including loss arising from a publication decision, a legal outcome, a lost opportunity or an interruption to the site. Nothing in these terms excludes liability for fraud, for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for any other liability that cannot lawfully be excluded.
7. Availability and changes
There is no guarantee that the site will be available at any particular time, and it may be changed, suspended or withdrawn without notice. Chapters are revised as part of the review cycle, and a page you read today may be corrected or restructured tomorrow. Where a fact changes, the change is dated and described on the page itself.
These terms may be updated. The version on the site is the version that applies, and continued use after a change means the updated terms are accepted. Substantive changes to what the site does are also reflected in the disclaimer and, where they concern data, in the privacy notice.
8. Feedback, suggestions and unsolicited material
Suggestions for subjects the notes do not cover are welcome through the general route on the contact page, and they are read. Sending one gives the publisher no obligation to act on it, creates no partnership or commission, and confers no rights in any chapter that is later written on that subject. Please do not send anything you regard as confidential or proprietary: unsolicited drafts, source material and documents are deleted rather than read, and the desk cannot promise confidentiality for material it did not ask for.
9. Severability and the whole agreement
If any provision of these terms is found to be unenforceable, that provision is severed and the remainder continues to apply. A failure to enforce a provision on one occasion is not a waiver of it. These terms, together with the privacy notice, the cookie policy and the disclaimer, are the whole of the terms on which this site is made available, and they replace any earlier version. Where the disclaimer and a chapter appear to disagree about what the site does, the disclaimer is correct and the chapter will be corrected.
10. Governing law
These terms and any dispute arising from them are governed by the law of Ireland, and the courts of Ireland have jurisdiction. If you are a consumer resident elsewhere in the European Union, this does not remove any protection available to you under the law of your country of residence.
