Terms of Use

Last updated: 22 October 2026

1. Scope and acceptance

These Terms of Use apply to access and use of the North & Habit website at northandhabit.info. By browsing the website, visitors agree to use it in a lawful and reasonable way and to respect other users and the editorial team. If a provision is not applicable under mandatory law, the remaining provisions continue to apply so far as possible. North & Habit is an English-language lifestyle publication intended primarily for a UK readership. The website is a source of general reading and editorial communication. It does not provide an online shop, subscription checkout or payment facility.

2. Nature of the publication

Articles address ordinary subjects such as walks, meal organisation, personal interests, rest and daily routines. They offer examples and points for reflection rather than instructions tailored to individual situations. We try to use clear language and keep article details in context, but the usefulness of an idea will vary with each visitor’s circumstances. Publication of a topic does not mean it is suitable for every person, household or schedule. Readers remain responsible for deciding how to use general content and for seeking appropriate individual support where their circumstances require it.

3. Accuracy and editorial updates

We aim to publish material that is coherent, relevant and useful when written. However, circumstances, public resources, local services and third-party information can change. We may correct, revise, rearrange or remove articles without prior notice. Dates on article pages indicate editorial publication or update information and are not a guarantee that every external fact is continuously checked. If you spot an error or out-of-date reference, please get in touch. We welcome specific suggestions that help us identify a passage and assess whether a correction would improve the experience for other readers.

4. Use of website content

Unless stated otherwise, the original text, design elements and compilation of content on North & Habit are presented for personal reading and normal reference. You may link to public pages with accurate context and brief attribution. You must not republish substantial sections, claim our material as your own, interfere with the display of pages or systematically scrape the website in a way that disrupts its operation. Some images and fonts are subject to their own licences or service terms. Any permitted quotation should preserve its meaning and should not imply that North & Habit endorses another website, product or organisation.

5. Using the contact form

The contact form is intended for genuine editorial questions, suggestions and general correspondence. Visitors must not use it to send threatening messages, malicious software, repeated unsolicited promotions or irrelevant bulk content. Please provide an email address at which you can receive a reply if one is needed. The message and telephone fields are optional, and we ask that sensitive or unnecessary personal information not be included. A successful submission is redirected to a separate thank-you page after the server has accepted the message. We do not guarantee that every enquiry will receive an individual response.

6. Website availability and security

We may occasionally suspend access for maintenance, technical work or changes to the journal. Internet access, hosting services and browser settings can affect how quickly pages load or whether a particular feature works. Visitors must not attempt to bypass security controls, impersonate another person, interfere with servers or access restricted files. The use of automated systems that overload the website is not permitted. Although we apply technical measures appropriate to the current project, no website should be assumed to be continuously available or entirely free of operational errors.

7. Third-party references

Articles may link to independent websites for background reading or public information. A link is provided for convenience and does not mean that North & Habit operates the destination, verifies every later change or approves all its content. Third-party websites may have different accessibility standards, privacy notices and terms of use. Visitors should review those materials before providing information to another organisation. We may remove a link when it becomes unavailable, irrelevant or unsuitable for the editorial context. The linked publisher is responsible for its own content and services.

8. Intellectual property and brand identity

North & Habit, its name and its editorial presentation are used to distinguish this independent publication from other websites. No visitor receives ownership of the name or our original content merely by accessing the website. You must not use the North & Habit identity in a way that falsely suggests an official relationship, sponsorship or authorisation. Trademarks and other protected material belonging to third parties remain the property of their respective owners. If you believe that a particular page infringes rights you hold, please contact us with a description of the content and the basis for your concern so that we can review it.

9. Responsibility and legal limitations

Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited under the law applicable to a visitor. Subject to that requirement, the website and its content are offered for general informational purposes, and we cannot promise that a particular routine or suggestion will produce a particular personal outcome. We do not accept responsibility for decisions made solely on the basis of a general article where individual circumstances have not been assessed. Visitors should exercise appropriate judgement and consult suitably qualified professionals for individual questions. This clause should be read with the separate informational notice on the FAQ page.

10. Amendments, contact and applicable law

We may update these Terms of Use as the website develops or legal obligations change. The current version will appear on this page, and continued use following a change is subject to any mandatory notice or consent requirements. Matters connected with the operation of this UK-focused publication will generally be considered with reference to applicable UK law, without overriding rights that visitors may have under mandatory consumer or data-protection rules. Questions, concerns or notices can be sent to [email protected]. We encourage clear descriptions of the issue so that enquiries can be reviewed efficiently and fairly.
