Terms and conditions

Last updated: September 30, 2026

These terms apply to your use of Askdeclan (askdeclan.com). By using the site, you agree to them. If you don't agree, please don't use the site.

What the site is

Askdeclan publishes general information and practical advice about everyday situations. It is not a law firm, medical practice, counseling service or financial adviser, and using the site doesn't create a professional relationship of any kind between you and us. Please read our disclaimer as part of these terms.

Acceptable use

You may read, share links to and print pages for your personal, non-commercial use. You agree not to:

• copy or republish our articles in full, or in substantial part, without written permission;
• use the site for anything unlawful, or to harass, defraud or impersonate anyone;
• try to break, overload or gain unauthorized access to the site or its server;
• scrape the site at scale, or use automated tools that interfere with normal use;
• submit content through our forms that is false, defamatory, or that you don't have the right to share.

Intellectual property

The text, design, layout and branding on Askdeclan belong to Askdeclan or its licensors and are protected by copyright and other laws. Short quotations with a link back to the original page are welcome. Headlines shown from other publishers' feeds, and anything on sites we link to, belong to their owners.

Things you send us

If you send us a question or other material, you give us permission to use it to reply and, with identifying details removed, to shape future articles. Please don't send confidential information, account numbers, ID numbers or legal documents.

Links, feeds and advertising

We link to other websites and show headlines from other publishers. We don't control those sites and aren't responsible for their content, accuracy or privacy practices. Advertisements and sponsored content are the responsibility of the advertiser. A link or an ad is not an endorsement.

Disclaimer of warranties

We work to keep the site accurate and up to date, but it is provided “as is” and “as available.” Laws, prices, deadlines and procedures change, and they vary by place. We don't promise that any content is complete, current or right for your situation, or that the site will always be available or free of errors.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent the law allows, Askdeclan and the people who run it are not liable for any loss or damage arising from your use of the site or your reliance on its content, including indirect or consequential loss. Nothing in these terms limits liability that can't be limited under applicable law.

Indemnity

If you break these terms and that causes a claim against us, you agree to cover our reasonable costs of dealing with it.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of South Carolina, United States, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute will be handled in the state or federal courts located in South Carolina, unless the law where you live gives you the right to bring a claim locally.

Changes

We may update these terms from time to time. The date at the top shows when they last changed. Continuing to use the site after a change means you accept the updated terms.
