About these terms
These terms of use apply to everyone who reads shepwoolley.co.uk, an independent guide to the songs of Shep Woolley and the sea songs of Portsmouth. The site is published by Daniel Hartley, 38 Lawrence Road, Southsea, Portsmouth PO5 1NU, United Kingdom, who can be reached at [email protected].
The guide is not Shep Woolley's official website, is not run by him or on his behalf, and does not speak for him. The same is true of the other people, bands, museums and ships the pages describe.
What the content is for
The pages are written to inform and are checked against published sources before they go up; the about page explains how. History is argued over and records disagree, so the guide cannot promise that every detail is complete or current, and nothing on the site is professional advice of any kind. If you find a mistake, a message to the editors is the fastest way to have it fixed.
Practical information about places such as Portsmouth Historic Dockyard is general background. Opening times, prices and access arrangements change, so please check them with the venue before you travel.
Copyright and re-use
You are welcome to quote short passages of the guide's text with a link back to the page they came from; please ask before reproducing whole pages. Photographs belong to their creators and are used under the licences named in each caption, mostly Creative Commons licences and the public domain via Wikimedia Commons; their terms govern any re-use. Recordings, song lyrics and album artwork mentioned on the site belong to their rights holders.
Traditional song words quoted on the site are in the public domain. Modern arrangements and recordings of the same songs usually are not.
Links to other websites
The guide links to other websites where they add something for the reader, and some links were inherited from earlier versions of the site. The editors have no control over those sites and are not responsible for their content, availability or privacy practices, and a link is not an endorsement of everything on the page it points to. The SoundCloud player on the homepage loads only when you press play; the privacy policy explains what that means for your data.
Liability and applicable law
The site is provided free of charge and as it is. To the extent the law allows, no liability is accepted for loss arising from the use of the site or from relying on its content. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law. These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales, without taking away any right you have as a consumer to bring a claim where you live.
