dinkfolk is an editorial publication providing articles, recommendations, commentary, inspiration and other content relating to lifestyle, travel, property, money, culture, pursuits, experiences and other subjects relevant to our readership.

Our content may be created by our editorial team, commissioned from independent contributors, supplied by guest writers or produced in collaboration with commercial partners.

The views expressed by individual contributors are their own and do not necessarily represent the views of dinkfolk or Styled Media Ltd.

You may use the dinkfolk website for lawful, personal and non-commercial purposes.

You must not:

• use the website in any way that is unlawful, fraudulent or harmful;
• attempt to gain unauthorised access to the website, its servers, systems or data;
• introduce viruses, malicious code or other technologically harmful material;
• interfere with the operation or security of the website;
• use the website to infringe the rights of another person;
• systematically copy, reproduce, extract or republish our content without permission;
• use automated systems, bots, crawlers or scraping technologies in a manner that places an unreasonable burden on the website or circumvents technical measures we have put in place; or
• use our content for a commercial purpose except with our prior written permission or as otherwise permitted by law.

We may restrict, suspend or terminate access to the website where we reasonably believe these Terms have been breached or where this is necessary to protect dinkfolk, Styled Media Ltd, our users or our systems.

We aim to publish thoughtful, useful and accurate content. However, editorial content is provided for general information and interest only.

Information may become outdated, circumstances may change and errors may occasionally occur. We do not guarantee that every article or other item of content will always be complete, accurate, current or suitable for your individual circumstances.

Publication of information about a product, service, business, destination, property or other third party does not necessarily amount to an endorsement by dinkfolk.

Where appropriate, we may update, correct, edit or remove published material.

Content published by dinkfolk should not be relied upon as a substitute for professional advice specific to your circumstances.

In particular, content relating to money, investments, tax, property, law, health, wellbeing or other regulated or professional matters is provided for general editorial purposes unless expressly stated otherwise.

You should obtain appropriate professional advice before making decisions where your individual financial, legal, medical or other circumstances are relevant.

Nothing published on dinkfolk constitutes financial, investment, legal, medical or other regulated professional advice merely because it discusses such a subject.

Travel information, recommendations, prices, opening hours, availability, entry requirements, facilities and other details may change after publication.

You should verify important information directly with the relevant accommodation provider, airline, destination, venue, government authority or other provider before booking or travelling.

Any decision to visit, book or participate in a place, activity or experience featured by dinkfolk remains your responsibility.

Unless otherwise stated, the content and materials available through dinkfolk, including articles, text, graphics, branding, designs, photographs, video, audio and other materials, are owned by or licensed to Styled Media Ltd and are protected by copyright, trade mark and other intellectual property laws.

The dinkfolk name, branding, logos and visual identity may not be used in a way that suggests an association, endorsement or commercial relationship with us without our prior written permission.

You may:

• view our content for your personal use;
• share links to dinkfolk content; and
• quote reasonable and limited extracts where permitted by law and with appropriate acknowledgement.

You may not, without our prior written permission:

• reproduce or republish substantial parts of our content;
• copy articles onto another website, publication, platform or database;
• commercially exploit our content;
• remove copyright, credit or other rights notices;
• create a commercial archive or dataset from our content; or
• license, sell or otherwise distribute our content to others.

Nothing in these Terms restricts rights available to you under applicable copyright law which cannot lawfully be excluded by contract.

Except where permitted by applicable law, our content may not be copied, extracted, scraped, downloaded or otherwise used without our prior written permission for the purpose of:

• training, developing or improving a commercial artificial intelligence or machine-learning model;
• creating or enriching a commercial dataset;
• generating substitute or competing editorial content at scale;
• providing content to a generative AI system for commercial training or model-development purposes; or
• systematically reproducing, summarising or republishing dinkfolk content through an automated service.

We may use technical measures to manage automated access to our website and to protect the security, stability and intellectual property of dinkfolk.

Nothing in this section is intended to prevent an activity which applicable law expressly permits and which cannot lawfully be restricted by contract.

For commercial licensing or permissions enquiries, please contact info@dinkfolk.com.

Some photographs, illustrations, video, quotations and other materials appearing on dinkfolk may be owned by contributors, photographers, brands, agencies or other third parties and used by us under licence or with permission.

The fact that material appears on dinkfolk does not give you permission to reproduce or reuse it.

Copyright and other rights remain with the relevant rights holder where applicable.

If you submit an article, photograph or other editorial material to dinkfolk as a contributor, separate contributor or submission terms may apply.

Those terms will govern matters including the rights you grant us to publish and promote the submitted material.

If you voluntarily send us ideas, feedback, recommendations, survey responses or other communications, you confirm that you have the right to send that material to us and that doing so does not infringe another person’s rights.

Please do not send confidential information to dinkfolk unless we have specifically agreed to receive it on a confidential basis.

dinkfolk may contain advertising, sponsored content, commercial partnerships, affiliate links or other content involving third parties.

Where required, we will identify commercial relationships or paid-for content so that readers can distinguish them from independent editorial content.

If an affiliate relationship applies, dinkfolk may receive a commission or other benefit if you follow a link or make a purchase. This does not normally increase the price you pay.

Advertisers and commercial partners are responsible for claims they make about their own products and services.

Unless expressly stated otherwise, dinkfolk is not a party to a contract you enter into with a third-party advertiser, retailer, accommodation provider or other business featured on the website.

Our website may contain links to websites, social media platforms and services operated by other organisations.

These links are provided for information or convenience. We do not control third-party websites and are not responsible for their availability, content, security, privacy practices or terms.

You should review the relevant third party’s terms and privacy information before using its services or providing personal information.

Some dinkfolk content contains recommendations based on personal experience, contributor opinion, editorial research or information supplied by third parties.

Preferences and experiences are subjective. A recommendation that is appropriate for one reader may not be appropriate for another.

Prices, products, services and availability can also change after an article is published.

Where a recommendation has arisen from a commercial relationship, complimentary stay, gifted product, affiliate arrangement or other relationship requiring disclosure, we will identify that relationship where appropriate.

From time to time dinkfolk may run competitions, prize draws, giveaways or promotions.

Separate terms and eligibility requirements may apply to each promotion. You should read those terms before entering.

Where specific promotion terms conflict with these general Terms, the specific promotion terms will apply to that promotion.

If you subscribe to a dinkfolk newsletter or other marketing communication, we will use your information in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

You can unsubscribe from marketing emails using the unsubscribe link included in those communications or by contacting us at info@dinkfolk.com.

Our collection and use of personal information is governed by our Privacy Policy.

Our use of cookies and similar technologies is explained in our Cookie Policy and through the cookie settings available on the website.

These documents should be read alongside these Terms.

We aim to keep dinkfolk available and operating properly, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free access.

We may alter, update, suspend or withdraw all or part of the website where reasonably necessary, including for maintenance, security, technical or commercial reasons.

We are not responsible for failures caused by circumstances outside our reasonable control.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability where it would be unlawful for us to do so. This includes liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, and any rights or remedies which cannot lawfully be excluded.

If you use dinkfolk as a consumer, nothing in these Terms affects your statutory consumer rights.

Subject to those protections, Styled Media Ltd is not responsible for losses arising solely from:

• reliance on general editorial information where professional or individual advice should reasonably have been obtained;
• information, products or services supplied by an independent third party;
• changes to prices, availability or information occurring after publication;
• the actions or omissions of third-party websites or service providers; or
• use of the website for a business or commercial purpose for which it was not intended.

We do not seek to exclude responsibility which applicable law requires us to accept.

We may amend these Terms from time to time, including to reflect changes to dinkfolk, our services or applicable law.

The latest version will be published on this page and the date at the top will show when it was most recently updated.

If a change materially affects a service for which you have separately entered into a contract with us, any additional rights relating to that contract will continue to apply.

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unlawful, invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be treated as modified or removed to the minimum extent necessary.

The remaining provisions will continue to apply.

If we do not immediately enforce a provision of these Terms, that does not mean we have waived our right to enforce it later.

These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales.

If you are a consumer resident elsewhere in the United Kingdom, you will continue to benefit from any mandatory protections available to you under the laws applicable where you live.

The courts of England and Wales will have jurisdiction in relation to disputes arising from these Terms, subject to any rights you have as a consumer to bring proceedings in another part of the United Kingdom.
