Terms of Use

Welcome to The Old Broadside (theoldbroadside.com), operated by Florence Publishing Ltd, an independent publisher registered in the United Kingdom. By using the site you agree to these terms.

The service

The Old Broadside presents historical events, biographies and related material, updated daily. The site is provided free of charge and "as is", without warranty of any kind. We may change, suspend or discontinue any part of the site at any time.

Content and licensing

The historical accounts on this site are drawn from Wikipedia and are available under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 licence (CC BY-SA). Each article links to its Wikipedia source. Text derived from Wikipedia remains subject to CC BY-SA, and you are free to reuse it under that licence's terms. The Old Broadside's own material — its name, design, presentation, curation and original writing — belongs to Florence Publishing Ltd and may not be reproduced without permission.

Accuracy

History is contested, and open encyclopedias change. We select and present material in good faith but make no guarantee that any account is complete, current or error-free. Nothing on the site constitutes professional advice. If you spot a mistake, please tell the desk.

Acceptable use

You agree not to misuse the site: no attempts to disrupt its operation, scrape it at abusive volume, or use it for unlawful purposes.

Third-party links

The site links to external services — Wikipedia, social platforms and Ko-fi among them. We are not responsible for their content or terms.

Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Florence Publishing Ltd shall not be liable for any loss or damage arising from use of, or reliance on, the site. Nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot be excluded under the law of England and Wales, which governs these terms.

Changes

We may revise these terms from time to time; the date above reflects the latest revision. Continued use of the site after a change constitutes acceptance.
