TheDIYHobbit Terms of Use & Policies

Comments

I reserve the right to remove any comment from my site which meets the following criteria:

  • Is offensive.
  • Racist.
  • Abusive.
  • Demonstrates any prejudice against any group.
  • Is irrelevant, SPAM or is illegal in nature.
  • Is just stupid.

“ Basically if you’re being a tool your comment gets binned and you get banned!

I welcome questions, comments suggestions on any post that I put on the site – however, any post that is in the archives section I no longer support and therefore will not offer any narrative on.

Comments which express views which are different to mine I will not generally delete – but whilst my intention for thediyhobbit.co.uk is to be a place of learning and expression. That doesn’t mean:

  • I will respond.
  • That any comment which can be considered as trolling will be allowed to stay.

All design and approaches on this site (which are marked property of Andy Grogan) are free to be used for either personal or commercial purposes (I am a realist) however all I ask is that you do not attempt to pass them off as you own work, as apart from being morally and legally wrong – it says more about you as a person than you might think.

Disclaimer

The agreement between you and I [sic. and inclusive of theDIYHobbit] (which you accept implicitly by replicating or copying any post on this site, including the use of any designs or techniques) is based upon you (as the reader) evaluating my content prior to using the information. If an article contains a disclaimer which states that the information is dangerous – then there are NO express liability to me – basically proceed at your own risk!

Anything that involves using tools of any description can be dangerous – and I do not know what tools you have or your own levels of knowledge and skill. Also, anything which involves any level of construction can be prone to mishaps or lapses in concentration which cannot be foreseen – all of which I cannot be held accountable for.

Where comments are made about particular products or solutions I strongly urge you to understand that any such comments are my own personal view.

Additionally, any views that I express on this site are mine and mine alone, and do not reflect in any way shape or form the view of my employer.
