// defined-terms
For the purposes of these terms: "Site" means the ThamesQuill website accessible at the domain on which this page is served; "ThamesQuill" or "we" means the editorial operation registered at its SW London address; "Operator" means any UKGC-licensed gambling company whose products are reviewed or linked on the Site; "Content" means all text, scores, benchmark data, tables, guides, and other editorial material published on the Site; "User" or "you" means any individual who accesses the Site for any purpose; "Outbound Link" means any hyperlink from the Site to an Operator's own domain, carrying a rel="sponsored" attribute.
// access-conditions
Age requirement. The Site covers real-money gambling products licensed in Great Britain. Access is restricted to individuals aged 18 and over. By proceeding past the age gate on the home page, you confirm you are aged 18 or above and physically located in Great Britain. ThamesQuill reserves the right to restrict access without notice to any user who misrepresents their age.
Jurisdiction. The Site is operated from England and is directed exclusively at residents of Great Britain. It is not intended for access from jurisdictions where affiliate publishing of this nature is restricted or prohibited. Users accessing from outside Great Britain do so at their own initiative and are responsible for compliance with applicable local laws.
Permitted use. Content is provided for personal, non-commercial informational purposes. You may not reproduce, redistribute, cache, scrape, or commercially exploit any Content without prior written authorisation from ThamesQuill. Limited quotation with attribution is permitted under the fair dealing provisions of the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988.
// editorial-independence
ThamesQuill maintains a written editorial independence policy, the key provisions of which are reproduced here for transparency. Operator benchmark scores are determined exclusively by the five-axis assessment protocol described at scoring-the-serve.php. No Operator has any contractual or commercial mechanism to alter its score or ranking position. The commission rates paid by Operators to ThamesQuill are not an input variable in the benchmark model. If you believe a score is factually incorrect, contact the desk via editorial-contact.php — corrections requests are investigated and responded to within five working days.
// affiliate-disclosure
ThamesQuill earns revenue when a user clicks an Outbound Link and subsequently opens a new account with the linked Operator. The commission structure is variable and differs per Operator. This financial relationship does not alter the editorial process or scoring output. All Outbound Links are tagged rel="sponsored" in compliance with ASA CAP Code rule 2.1 and UKGC guidance on affiliate marketing published in March 2023. Every page carrying Outbound Links also displays an affiliate disclosure panel in plain English. The existence of this commercial model is not hidden and is material to the editorial context of this Site.
// no-warranty
Operator content. ThamesQuill publishes editorial assessments derived from live testing and publicly available information. We cannot warrant that Operator terms, offers, odds, or features will remain accurate after publication. Operators may change their products, terms, and pricing at any time without notice. Before placing any wager, you should verify current terms directly with the Operator. ThamesQuill accepts no liability for losses arising from reliance on operator-specific data published on the Site.
Accuracy of benchmark data. Benchmark scores are correct as at the data cycle date shown on the home page. ThamesQuill makes reasonable efforts to maintain accuracy but cannot guarantee that scores remain current outside the active data cycle window. Scores may differ from your personal experience of an Operator's product; individual account conditions, payment method availability, and platform feature sets can vary.
Availability. The Site is provided on an "as available" basis. ThamesQuill does not warrant uninterrupted access and is not liable for loss suffered as a result of downtime, maintenance, or technical failure.
// liability-limitation
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, ThamesQuill excludes all liability for: (a) financial losses arising from gambling activity conducted with any Operator reviewed on this Site; (b) indirect or consequential loss of any kind arising from use of or reliance on Site Content; (c) loss arising from an Operator's failure to honour advertised terms, delays in withdrawal, or account restrictions imposed by the Operator; (d) technical errors, data corruption, or loss arising from your use of the Site. Nothing in these terms limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, or any other liability that cannot be excluded under English law.
// intellectual-property
All original Content published on this Site, including editorial text, benchmark methodology, CSS design system, and site structure, is the intellectual property of ThamesQuill and is protected by copyright under the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988. Operator names, logos, and trademarks remain the property of their respective owners and are reproduced for nominative editorial purposes only. No endorsement by or affiliation with any Operator is implied.
// governing-law
These terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the law of England and Wales. Any dispute arising under these terms shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales, save where applicable consumer protection law requires otherwise.
// amendments
ThamesQuill reserves the right to amend these terms at any time. The effective date of the current version is shown in the page header. Continued use of the Site after an amendment constitutes acceptance of the revised terms. For methodology transparency, see scoring-the-serve.php.
