Terms of use

Last updated: 6 October 2026

These terms cover your use of this website and the newsletter. They are provided by Thorpe Contracting Ltd, trading as Chris Codes Stuff, a company registered in England & Wales ("I", "me"). Contact: chris@chriscodesstuff.com.

Using the website

You're welcome to browse the site and use the contact form for genuine enquiries. Please don't use it to send spam, malicious content or anything unlawful, or try to disrupt or probe the site or its forms.

Contact form and enquiries

Sending an enquiry doesn't create a contract between us and doesn't oblige me to take the work on. Any paid work is agreed in a written quote and its accompanying terms before it starts; those terms, not this page, govern the work. Don't send credentials through the form.

Newsletter

The newsletter is free, sent about once a week, and you can unsubscribe at any time using the link in every issue. You're only subscribed after confirming your address by email. I may stop or change the newsletter at any time.

Content and advice

The site and newsletter are general information about technical problems and fixes, not professional advice tailored to your systems. Test anything on a copy and keep backups before changing a live system. I'm not responsible for losses that come from acting on general information without taking those precautions.

The content on this site is mine unless stated otherwise. You may share links and short quotes with credit, but please don't republish it wholesale without asking.

Liability

Nothing in these terms limits liability that can't be limited by law, including for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud. Otherwise, the site and newsletter are provided "as is", and I'm not liable for indirect or consequential losses arising from your use of them.

Other

My privacy policy explains how I handle your data. I may update these terms; the date above shows the latest version. These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales have jurisdiction, although if you're a consumer you may also have rights to bring a claim where you live.
