Legal Terms

These terms explain the ground rules for using Black Winter Day. By reading the site you accept them. They are written to be short and readable, but please take a minute with them.

Last updated: October 2026

What the magazine is

Black Winter Day is an entertainment and home-life magazine written by a small team of enthusiasts under pen names. We write about films, television, music, dance, games, gardens, home projects and gatherings. Our articles share general ideas and personal experience. They are not professional advice, and we do not hold ourselves out as qualified experts in any field.

Using our content

You are welcome to read, print and share links to our articles for personal, non-commercial use. Quoting a short passage with a clear credit and a link back to the original page is fine. Please do not copy whole articles, republish our text as your own, or reuse our pages in bulk without written permission. Images on the site come from free stock libraries under their own licences.

Practical guides and your safety

Some articles describe hands-on projects: placing speakers, mounting screens, building beds for vegetables, fitting outdoor fixtures or clearing a space to dance. You carry out any project at your own risk and are responsible for following the manufacturer's instructions, local regulations and sensible safety steps. When a job involves electrics, gas, structural work or working at height, use a qualified professional.

Articles touching on health, money or legal matters are general background only. Speak to a suitably qualified person about your own circumstances before acting on anything you read here.

Accuracy

We work hard to get things right and we correct mistakes when we find them, but we cannot promise every detail is complete or current. Services change, products are updated and advice evolves. If you spot an error, the Talk to Us page explains how to tell us.

Links and mentions

Some articles link to other websites or name companies, products or services. Those sites are run by others, and we are not responsible for their content, availability, pricing or privacy practices. A link or mention is not a guarantee. Our approach to mentions is described on How We Choose What We Recommend.

Where an article covers streaming, we only mean properly licensed services. Please respect copyright and the terms of the services you use.

Limitation of liability

To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for any loss or damage arising from your use of the site or reliance on its content. Nothing in these terms limits any rights you have that cannot be excluded by law.

Availability

We aim to keep the site online, but it may sometimes be unavailable for maintenance or reasons outside our control. We may change, move or remove articles at any time.

Privacy and cookies

How we handle the small amount of data involved in running the site is explained in Your Privacy and About Cookies.

Changes to these terms

These terms will be revised whenever the magazine changes in a way that matters. The date at the top shows the latest version. Continuing to use the site after a change means you accept the updated terms.
