Legal Notice

NOTED

DATED 2026-02-19 · VERSION 20260811_rev02 · COMPARED WITH 20260811_rev01

What changed, in plain language

Nothing in this legal notice actually changed. The only differences are the scrambled codes in two email links, which Cloudflare regenerates each time the page loads to hide addresses from spam bots. The rules, privacy statement, liability limits, and governing law are all identical, and the "Updated" date is still 19 February 2026.

This change appears to be cosmetic (formatting, typos, or contact details).

Changelog

± CHANGEDEmail link codes regenerated (no real change)
Two contact links use Cloudflare's email-hiding tool, which turns an email address into a scrambled code. That code gets rebuilt every time the page is served, so it looks different even though the address behind it is the same. This affects the accessibility feedback contact and the queries contact.
