These terms govern your use of UnblockedTech. By reading, linking to or otherwise using the site, you agree to them. If you do not agree, please stop using the site.
We have tried to keep this readable. Nothing here is designed to catch you out.
What this site is
UnblockedTech is an independent publication offering general information and commentary about technology, computing, connectivity, security and gaming.
Everything on the site is provided for general information. It is not professional advice, and it is not tailored to your situation. In particular, nothing here is legal, financial, medical or investment advice, and you should not treat it as a substitute for advice from a qualified professional who knows your circumstances.

Intellectual property
All original content on this site — articles, headlines, illustrations, page design and code — is our property or is used with permission, and is protected by copyright.
Product names, company names and logos mentioned in our articles belong to their respective owners. We use them descriptively, for identification and commentary. Their appearance on this site does not imply any affiliation with, endorsement by, or sponsorship from those companies.
Where we quote from another source, we attribute it and limit the extract to what is necessary for the commentary, in reliance on fair dealing for the purposes of criticism and review.
Accuracy, and the limits of it
We take accuracy seriously. Articles are written by named authors, edited before publication, and revised when the facts change. Our approach is described in the editorial policy.
Even so, we cannot promise that everything on the site is complete, current or free of error. Technology changes quickly, specifications get revised, prices move, and products are discontinued. An article accurate on the day it was published may not be accurate today.
You should verify anything you intend to act on. This is particularly true of security guidance, configuration instructions, prices and product availability. Where an article carries a date, treat that date as part of the information.
If you find a mistake, please tell us. We correct errors and note significant corrections on the article itself.
Advertising and affiliate links
The site is funded by advertising and, in some articles, affiliate links.
Advertising appears in clearly marked slots. Advertisers have no influence over our editorial content, are not shown articles before publication, and cannot request changes or removals. We do not accept paid articles presented as editorial.
Affiliate links are links to products where we may receive a commission if you buy something. Where an article contains them, this is disclosed. A commission never affects our assessment of a product, and we do not accept payment for a favourable review.
Full details are in our disclaimer.
External links
We link to other websites where it is useful. Those sites are not under our control, and we are not responsible for their content, their accuracy or their privacy practices. A link is not an endorsement, and we cannot guarantee that a linked page still says what it said when we linked to it.
Following an external link is your decision and at your own risk. We would encourage you to read the privacy policy of any site you visit from here.
Availability
We aim to keep the site available, but we do not guarantee it. The site may be unavailable for maintenance, because of a fault, or for reasons outside our control. We may change, suspend or discontinue any part of it at any time without notice, and we may remove or amend content at our discretion.
We are not liable for any loss arising from the site being unavailable.
Limitation of liability
Nothing in these terms limits or excludes our liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for anything else that cannot lawfully be limited. Your statutory rights as a consumer are not affected.
Subject to that, the site is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose or non-infringement.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, we will not be liable for:
- Any indirect, incidental, special or consequential loss
- Loss of profit, revenue, business, goodwill or anticipated savings
- Loss or corruption of data
- Any loss arising from your reliance on information on the site
- Any loss arising from the acts or omissions of a third party, including an advertiser or a linked website
Where liability cannot be excluded, our total liability to you for all claims is limited to the greater of the amount you have paid us (which for a free site is normally nothing) and one hundred pounds sterling.
Some jurisdictions do not allow certain exclusions, in which case the exclusions above apply only to the extent permitted where you live.
Your submissions
If you send us a message, a tip, a correction or a suggestion, you grant us permission to use it in our editorial work. We will not publish your name or contact details without asking you first.
Please do not send us confidential information, and do not send us anything you are not entitled to share. If you send us an idea, we cannot promise to keep it confidential or to compensate you if we independently write about the same subject.
Privacy
How we handle personal data is set out in our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy, both of which form part of these terms.
Changes to these terms
We may update these terms. The current version is always the one on this page, with the date of the last change at the top. Continuing to use the site after a change means you accept the revised terms.
For material changes affecting your rights, we will show a notice on the site rather than relying on you noticing the date.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute. If you are a consumer resident elsewhere, this does not deprive you of the protection of the mandatory consumer law of your country of residence, or of the right to bring proceedings in your local courts where that right is given to you by law.
Contact
If any part of these terms is unclear, or you need permission for something they do not allow, get in touch. We will give you a straight answer.
