Terms of use.

About these terms

By using hearthline.com (the "Site") you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site. These terms are governed by the law of Scotland.

Permitted use

You may read, share, and quote from Hearthline for personal, non-commercial purposes. When quoting from a piece, please attribute it to "Hearthline" and link to the original.

For commercial reuse — syndication, republication, training of machine-learning models, or any use beyond ordinary reading and sharing — please contact editors@hearthline.com before proceeding.

What you may not do

• Copy substantial portions of Hearthline's content onto another site without permission.
• Use Hearthline's content to train, fine-tune, or otherwise develop generative AI models without explicit written consent.
• Misrepresent the source of our work or remove our attribution.
• Use the Site in any way that interferes with its operation for other readers.

Intellectual property

All editorial content — articles, photographs, illustrations, layout — is the copyright of Hearthline or used under licence. The Hearthline name and wordmark are unregistered marks of the publication.

Affiliate links & third-party sites

The Site contains affiliate links to Amazon. Linking to a third-party site does not constitute an endorsement of that site beyond the specific product we have reviewed. Once you click through to an affiliate destination, that site's own terms and privacy policies apply.

Accuracy & reliance

Hearthline publishes editorial opinion based on long-term use by named reviewers. We take care to be accurate but the Site is offered "as is": you should not rely on a single piece of editorial coverage as the sole basis for a major purchasing decision. Prices, specifications, and availability change frequently and are not guaranteed by us.

Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Hearthline is not liable for any indirect or consequential loss arising from the use of the Site or reliance on anything published here. Nothing in these terms limits any liability that cannot be limited by law.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. The "last updated" date above reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of the Site after a change constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
