Terms for Using This Site

Last updated: October 2026

By reading Well of Dreams you agree to the simple terms below. They exist to make clear what the site is for, what you can do with its content and where our responsibility ends. Anyone who disagrees with them is asked to stop using the site.

1. General information, not personal care

Everything published here is general information about everyday health topics. It is written by a small team without medical qualifications and is not tailored to any individual. It does not create any professional relationship between you and us. Before making decisions about your health, diet, medicines or the care of a relative, speak to a qualified professional who knows your circumstances. Our medical disclaimer forms part of these terms.

2. Emergencies

Nothing on this site is suitable for urgent situations. If you or someone near you needs immediate help, call your local emergency number.

3. Accuracy and updates

We work carefully and revise articles when we learn of mistakes or when public guidance changes. Even so, we cannot promise that every page is complete, current or free of errors at the moment you read it. Health advice develops over time, and what applies in one country may differ in another.

4. Using our content

  • You may read, print and share links to our articles for personal, non-commercial use.
  • You may quote short passages if you credit Well of Dreams and link back to the original page.
  • You may not copy whole articles, republish them as your own or use them in commercial products without written permission.

The text, layout and graphics on the site belong to Well of Dreams or are used with permission. Photographs come from free image libraries under their respective licences.

5. Links to other websites

Some articles contain links to websites run by other organisations, including businesses whose products or services are mentioned. Those outside pages are run by others, so their wording, uptime and handling of data sit beyond our control and responsibility. A link does not mean we endorse everything a site says or sells. Please judge each site on its own merits.

6. Acceptable use

Please do not attempt to disrupt the site, probe it for weaknesses, scrape it at a volume that affects other readers or use it for anything unlawful.

7. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent allowed by law, Well of Dreams and its writers are not liable for any loss or harm arising from reliance on the information published here, or from the use of websites we link to. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be excluded under the law that applies to you.

8. Privacy

How we handle the small amount of data involved in running the site is explained in our privacy commitments.

9. Changes

These terms can change when the site does. The date at the top shows the latest version, and continued use of the site after a change means you accept the updated terms.

10. Questions

If anything here is unclear, write to us through the contact page and we will do our best to explain.
