By using UpperEdgeSide, you agree to the terms set out below.

1. About these Terms

In these Terms, “UpperEdgeSide,” “the Site,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to UpperEdgeSide.com and the services and content made available through it (together, the “Services”). “You” refers to any visitor to or reader of the Site. “Content” refers to all articles, essays, photography, illustrations, design, and other material published on the Site.

The Services are owned and operated by UpperEdgeSide.com. By using the Site, you agree to these Terms.

2. Editorial nature of the content

Articles published on UpperEdgeSide reflect the personal opinions of their authors. Nothing on this Site constitutes financial, dietary, medical, psychological, legal, or other professional advice. All Content is provided for general educational and informational purposes only. For matters that require professional judgement, please consult an appropriate professional.

3. Intellectual property

All Content on UpperEdgeSide is the intellectual property of UpperEdgeSide.com unless otherwise credited. You may not modify, publish, transmit, adapt, participate in the transfer or sale of, reproduce, create derivative works from, distribute, perform, display, or otherwise exploit any of the Content, in whole or in part, without the express written consent of UpperEdgeSide.com.

Short excerpts may be quoted for non-commercial purposes with clear attribution and a link to the original article. Quoted material, photographs, and other content sourced from third parties remain the property of those parties.

4. AI and automated use

The Content published on UpperEdgeSide may not be used to train, develop, fine-tune, evaluate, or otherwise improve machine-learning systems, large language models, or any generative artificial-intelligence tools — whether for commercial or research purposes — without prior written consent from UpperEdgeSide.com.

This restriction applies to access by any automated agent, scraper, or crawler. Lawful indexing by general-purpose search engines for the purpose of returning results to human readers remains permitted. UpperEdgeSide.com reserves all rights under Article 4 of EU Directive 2019/790 to opt out of text and data mining for purposes other than scientific research carried out by qualifying institutions.

5. Affiliate links and editorial independence

UpperEdgeSide is, in part, supported by affiliate partnerships. Any article that contains affiliate links carries a short notice at the top of the page. If you click an affiliate link and go on to make a purchase, we may receive a small commission from the seller. The price you pay is exactly the same — the commission comes out of the seller’s margin.

UpperEdgeSide is a participant in the Amazon Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon and its affiliated sites.

As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases.

Editorial independence. We only link to things we have read, used, or genuinely believe are worth a reader’s attention.

6. Unsolicited email, spamming, and misuse

You may not use the Services to transmit unsolicited email or other communications. You may not send unsolicited email to UpperEdgeSide.com or to anyone whose email address includes a domain name used on the Services.

You may not spoof, harvest, scrape, or otherwise misuse any email address or contact information associated with the Site, nor use the Site to disrupt its operation or attempt to bypass its security.

7. Links to third-party websites

The Services may contain links to websites operated by third parties (“Third-Party Websites”). UpperEdgeSide has no control over the content, policies, or availability of Third-Party Websites, and access to them is at your own risk. The presence of a link is not an endorsement of every aspect of the linked site.

8. Limitation of liability

The Services are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis — that is, in their current state, without any warranty that the Content is accurate, complete, current, or fit for any particular purpose, and without any guarantee of uninterrupted availability.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, UpperEdgeSide.com shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages resulting from your use of, or inability to use, the Site, or from your reliance on any Content. Nothing in these Terms limits or excludes any liability that cannot lawfully be limited or excluded, including any consumer protections available to you under the law of your country of residence.

9. Changes to these Terms

We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. Changes will be effective immediately upon posting to this page, with the “Last updated” date revised accordingly. Your continued use of the Site following the posting of changes constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms.
