Using this website

UK Decoded is a free reference site explaining British English and everyday life in the UK. By using the site you accept these terms. If you do not agree with them, please do not use the site.

Information, not advice

Content on this site is provided for general information and language-learning purposes only. It is not legal, immigration, financial, tax or medical advice, and it must not be relied on as such. Rules about visas, tenancies, employment and healthcare change; always confirm anything important with the official source (for example GOV.UK, UKCISA or the NHS) or a qualified professional. Cultural notes describe common tendencies, not guarantees about how any individual will behave.

Accuracy

We work hard to keep entries and translations accurate and current, but we make no warranty that the content is complete, correct or up to date. Use of the site is at your own risk; to the fullest extent permitted by law we accept no liability for loss arising from reliance on the content.

Intellectual property

The site's content, design and database are owned by UK Decoded. You may share short excerpts with a link back to the source page. Bulk copying, scraping or republishing the database is not permitted without written permission.

Advertising and affiliate links

The site may display third-party advertising and affiliate links. We are not responsible for the content of external websites, and a link does not imply endorsement.

Changes

We may update these terms from time to time. Continued use of the site after changes are published constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
