Conditions of Use
The paragraphs below form an agreement between you and Amusement Gratuit covering how this website may be used. By browsing beyond this page you accept them in full.
Acceptance of These Terms
Your continued presence on this site is taken as agreement to everything set out below. These terms apply to the whole of Amusement Gratuit, including archived material and any feature added later.
About Our Published Material
What you read on this site is a publication, not a service. Our writers document their own experience with tea and brewing and share the reasoning behind their conclusions so that you can weigh it against your own circumstances.
Intellectual Property Rights
All original material published on Amusement Gratuit — written analysis, custom graphics, page architecture and underlying markup — remains our property or that of our licensors. The following are not permitted:
- Wholesale republication of our written material in any medium.
- Automated crawling or scraping intended to duplicate the archive.
- Derivative rewrites, translations or adaptations offered without consent.
- Bypassing technical protections or misrepresenting the origin of the content.
What You May Do
We encourage sharing. Link to any page, quote a short passage with credit, or reference our findings in your own writing. What we ask is that substantial reproduction be agreed with us first.
Outbound References
Our brewing guides and tasting notes frequently link to manufacturers, retailers, standards bodies, community forums and other outside resources. Those links are offered for convenience and further reading. We have no control over external sites and accept no responsibility for their content, accuracy, availability or privacy practices. Visiting them is at your own discretion.
Disclaimer of Warranties
No warranty of any kind is given in respect of this website. That includes implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement, all of which are excluded to the fullest extent the law permits.
Liability
Use of this site is at your own risk. We exclude liability for every category of loss the law permits us to exclude, and where exclusion is not permitted, our liability is capped at the minimum the applicable statute allows.
What You Send Us
Feedback is genuinely welcome, and we sometimes publish reader corrections alongside the article they relate to. We will not attribute your message to you by name without asking. Please avoid sending anything confidential through a web form.
Restrictions on Use
Interference with the site's operation is not permitted. This covers automated request floods, vulnerability scanning, attempts to bypass access controls, and use of the platform to transmit harmful or illegal content.
Updates to the Terms
We may revise these terms as the site develops or as legal requirements change. Revised terms take effect when published on this page, and the date shown at the top indicates the current version. Continuing to use the site after a revision constitutes acceptance of it.
Governing Law and Severability
Local law at our place of publication governs these terms. Invalidity of one clause does not affect the validity of the rest, which continue to apply as written.
Getting in touch
Questions about these terms, permission requests for republication, or notices of infringement should be sent through our contact page. We respond to every legitimate enquiry.
