Legal Notice
Nothing about your rights or obligations changed. The only edits are to two "[email protected]" links — the scrambled code at the end of each link's web address is different from before. The visible link text, the surrounding sentences, every section of the notice (privacy, acceptable use, disclaimers, liability, governing law) and the "Updated: 19 February 2026" date are all identical.
Cosmetic change: formatting, typos, or contact details.

± CHANGEDScrambled code changed on the accessibility feedback email link The accessibility paragraph still tells you to email OUP with feedback, and the words on the page are word-for-word the same. What changed is the string of letters and numbers at the end of the link's address. This site hides email addresses behind that scrambled code so spam bots can't harvest them, and the code is regenerated from time to time. The diff shows only the scrambled version, not the plain address behind it, so this review makes no claim about which address it points to — but either way, no term, right, or duty changed here. | ||

± CHANGEDScrambled code changed on the "Queries" contact email link Same kind of edit in the Queries section at the bottom. The sentence telling you to get in touch about material on the website is unchanged; only the scrambled code in the link address is different. As above, the plain address is not shown in the diff, so we don't state what it is. Clicking the link still opens an email to OUP, and nothing about how or when you can complain has changed. | ||
