Terms of Use

Welcome to The Groove Almanac. By using this website you agree to these terms — kept mercifully short.

1. Use of the site

This site is provided for personal, non-commercial reading and reference. You agree not to misuse it — including attempting to disrupt its operation, scraping its content at scale, or using it for any unlawful purpose.

2. Intellectual property

All original text, design, and site code are © The Groove Almanac. You may quote brief excerpts with attribution and a link; you may not republish whole articles without written permission. Photographs are public-domain or Creative Commons–licensed works from third parties, credited beneath each image; their reuse is governed by their respective licenses, not by these terms.

3. Editorial content, not advice

Our articles are historical and cultural writing, offered for general interest. Collecting guidance (values, grading, care techniques) reflects experience and common practice, not professional appraisal or conservation advice. When significant money or an irreplaceable record is at stake, consult a qualified specialist.

4. No warranties

The site is provided “as is” and “as available.” We work hard on accuracy, but we make no warranty that content is error-free or that the site will be uninterrupted.

5. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, The Groove Almanac shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the site.

6. Third-party links and advertising

Links to external websites are provided for reference; we do not control and are not responsible for their content. Any advertising displayed on this site is clearly labeled as such. Advertisers are responsible for their own offers and claims.

7. Changes

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

8. Contact
