The Legal Bit

All posts are my intellectual property, and I retain copyright of all content (unless indicated otherwise). If you share or reproduce my posts or photos, either in the virtual or physical worlds (I'm not too bothered about 3rd plane spiritual existence) please always ensure to credit me (Miscriant, @miscriant) and link back to my blog using a hotlink.  It's the polite thing to do and if you don't I will assume you were dragged up in a barn. Right before I unleash the hounds.

The opinions you read on Miscriant will always be my own and I will never accept payment to be positive about a brand/product/location/puppy.  Although puppies are always cute.  I do not intend to malign any religion, ethnic group, belief system, club, organisation, company or individual, anyone, anything, alive or not, from this planet or not, mythological, fictional, imaginary friend, alternate identity, fabled or simply real.

For your own health and safety please test any advice, products, recipes etc before feeding yourself, loved one, dying your goldfish pink etc.  My skin, hair and digestive system are unique to me.  What works for mine may not work for yours.  Be sensible and careful.  Don't feed meat to vegetarians, pasta to gluten intolerant sufferers (unless it is that specially formulated stuff) or mushrooms to people who hate mushrooms.  Seriously - it's the texture (shudder).  I cannot be held responsible for any damage to person, product or anything else.  And that includes vomiting.

All photos are my own unless stated otherwise.  If you'd like to use one of my photos please just ask - I'm always happy to share.  You may get a bit of a shocked 'seriously?  You actually want to use one of my pictures?' and then be virtually hugged for 10 minutes.  I have given you a heads up.  Just don't pinch it without asking, and definitely don't use one of my pictures without crediting me properly cos dude, that's just rude.

I am human.  At least I was the last time I checked.  There may be mistakes.  Please feel free to point them out to me and I will look to correct them.  If you are nice about it and don't make me cry too much.

Comments

This is a nice place.  A happy place for people to play.  Do no harm!  And that includes being down on yourself, on others, on places and people and things.  Play nicely with the other children and your comments won't be removed.  If you are a bully, obnoxious, rude, swear,  or downright mean they will be.   

I am not responsible, nor will be held liable, for anything anyone says on Miscriant in the blog comments, nor the laws which they may break in the UK country or your own country through  comments’ content, implication, and intent.  So think before you type.  Please.

Products

I buy all my own stuff with money I earned myself (or my husbands money, and sometimes they are a present from friends, family etc. if I have been particularly good).  If I happen to review a freebie I will make it very clear that it is a freebie and still be completely honest about my thoughts.  

Analytics

Miscriant may place some cookies on your computer so that activity on the site can be monitored. Apparently this is so that I can see what content is popular on the site so that it can be kept appropriate for the audience.  How I do this is still a bit of a mystery but it is all really rather clever.  All actions are completely anonymised and in no way will reveal any personal information, or provide the ability to isolate a particular individual. Should you wish to opt out of this tracking you can do so here and here.  For a techno-phobe I am really rather impressed with myself.

Advertising 

Miscriant uses Google Adsense for advertising.

• Third party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user’s prior visits to your website.
• Google’s use of the DART cookie enables it and its partners to serve ads to your users based on their visit to your sites and/or other sites on the Internet.
• Users may opt out of the use of the DART cookie by visiting the advertising opt-out page. (Alternatively, you can direct users to opt out of a third-party vendor’s use of cookies by visiting the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page.)    

I genuinely make next to no money from this blog, if that helps to reassure you as to the authenticity of the content.  Seriously,  in one year I made £10.  That's it - it's not even enough to withdraw from Adsense so it just sits in a virtual account. 

Links

All links are manually entered by a human (Me.  Hello!  *waves*).  Mistakes can happen and web content can change.  I am not responsible should the page at the end of a link not be the page you were expecting.  It was right when I first put it there.  You have been warned.   If something has changed, contact me to let me know.

Affiliates

This blog uses affiliate links through a third party, although it is rare that these are used in a post. If I do use an affiliate link or link programme this means that I may make a small profit from a click on a link or purchase made through a link. My editorial content is in no way influenced or determined by advertisers and affiliates. This blog may use a 3rd party to enable these affiliate partnerships. If you’d like to read their privacy policy you can do so here and you can find more information on the cookies they use here.

Sponsored posts

If a post is sponsored I will mention that fact using nice simple terms like ‘this is a sponsored post’, ‘in association with..’ or ‘this post was supported by an outside source.’  I may even try and figure out how to put a big flashing neon sign over sponsored posts to be absolutely sure everyone knows that they are sponsored.

I may in the future accept forms of cash advertising, sponsorship, paid insertions, paid links or other forms of compensation but I will always retain full editorial control. 

Any product claim, statistic, quote or other representation about a product or service should be verified with the manufacturer, provider or party in question prior to publishing it on my blog.
