Terms of Use

These terms cover the use of Open Web Vancouver, an independent publication. By reading the site you accept them. They are short because the site does very little: it publishes articles, and it sells nothing.

Information, not advice

Articles on this site are general information written for a general audience. Many cover health, dental care, law, insurance and money, and none of them is professional advice about your circumstances. Before making a decision about your health, a legal matter or your finances, speak to a qualified professional who knows your situation. If you have a medical emergency, call 911.

Articles are accurate to the best of their writers’ knowledge when published. Rules, prices and practices change, and an article can fall out of date. The date on each article says when it was published.

Links and named businesses

Articles link to other websites and sometimes name companies, clinics or firms. Those references are the writer’s, and are not endorsements or recommendations by the site. Open Web Vancouver has no control over other sites and is not responsible for their content, their services or their privacy practices.

What the site does not do

The site provides no services, takes no bookings, sells no products and makes no referrals. There are no accounts to create and no payments to make. Nothing on the site creates a professional or client relationship of any kind.

Using the content

The articles, images and design of this site belong to their writers, photographers and the publication. You are welcome to quote a short passage with a link back to the article. Republishing an article in full, or presenting it as your own, is not permitted. Photographs credited to Pexels are used under the Pexels licence.

Messages

If you send a message through the contact page, it is stored on this site and read by its editors, as described in the privacy policy. Please do not send anything abusive, unlawful or unrelated to the site.

Liability

The site is provided as it is. To the extent the law allows, Open Web Vancouver is not liable for any loss arising from the use of the site or reliance on anything published on it.

Changes and corrections

These terms may be updated from time to time, and the current version is always the one on this page. If you believe something on the site is wrong, or that it uses your work without permission, say so through the contact page and it will be looked at and corrected.
