You warrant that any User Content you submit is your own original work, does not infringe the rights of any third party, and is not unlawful. You must not submit User Content that is defamatory, obscene, threatening, harassing, deceptive, infringes intellectual-property or privacy rights, promotes illegal activity, or contains malware.

6. Editorial Content & AI-Assisted Articles
Articles on the Services may be written entirely by a human, written by a human with the assistance of AI tools, or rewritten from a publicly published source using an AI workflow under editorial supervision. Articles produced through the AI-rewriting workflow carry an inline disclosure near the top of the page. Our full editorial standards — including sourcing, fact-checking, hallucination guardrails, corrections and retractions — are described in our Editorial Policy, which forms part of these Terms by reference.
7. Information & Disclaimer
The content on the Services is provided for general information and journalistic purposes only. It is not, and is not intended to be, legal, medical, financial, investment, tax or other professional advice, and must not be relied on as such. You should obtain appropriate professional advice before acting on any matter covered by the Services.
While we take reasonable care to ensure accuracy at the time of publication, we make no warranty that the content will be accurate, complete, current, or free from error. Coverage of fast-moving subjects can be superseded by events; corrections are published in accordance with our Editorial Policy.
8. Third-Party Links & Content
The Services may contain links to, or embeds of, third-party websites, applications, services and content. Those third parties are independent of Progressive Robot. We do not endorse, control or accept responsibility for any third-party content, advertising, products, services or policies, and your interactions with those third parties are governed by their own terms and privacy notices.
9. Limitation of Liability
Nothing in these Terms limits or excludes our liability for: (a) death or personal injury caused by our negligence; (b) fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; or (c) any other liability that cannot be limited or excluded by applicable law.
Subject to that paragraph, to the maximum extent permitted by law:
- The Services are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied;
- We will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive losses, including loss of profits, loss of goodwill, loss of opportunity or loss of data, however arising;
- Our total aggregate liability to any user in respect of all claims arising out of or in connection with the Services in any twelve-month period will not exceed £100.
10. Indemnity
You agree to indemnify and hold Progressive Robot, its directors, employees and contractors harmless from and against any claim, loss, liability, demand or expense (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of (a) your use of the Services in breach of these Terms, (b) any User Content you submit, or (c) your violation of any law or third-party right.
11. Suspension & Termination
We may suspend, restrict or terminate your access to all or part of the Services at any time, with or without notice, if we reasonably believe you are in breach of these Terms, or if we are required to do so by law. On termination, the provisions of these Terms that by their nature should survive — including sections 3, 4, 9, 10 and 14 — will continue to apply.
12. Privacy & Cookies
Your use of the Services is also governed by our Privacy Policy and Cookies Policy, which describe how we collect, use and protect personal data, and how we use cookies and similar technologies.
13. Changes to the Services or these Terms
We may modify or discontinue any part of the Services at any time, with or without notice. We may also update these Terms from time to time. The current version is always available on this page and is identified by the "Last updated" date above. Material changes will be highlighted on the Site for a reasonable period. Your continued use of the Services after a change takes effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
14. Governing Law & Jurisdiction
These Terms and any dispute arising out of or in connection with them or their subject matter are governed by the laws of England and Wales. You and we agree to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales to resolve any such dispute, except that we retain the right to bring proceedings in any other jurisdiction where you reside or where infringement of our intellectual-property rights is taking place.
15. General
If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in full force. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of that or any other provision. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, Cookies Policy and Editorial Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and us in respect of the Services.
