Welcome to Seasonal British. By accessing or using core-claresmyth.icu (the “Site”), you agree to these Terms of Use. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site.

1. Nature of the Site

Seasonal British is an independent informational publication offering editorial essays about British seasonal cuisine, producers, and London food culture. The Site is not a restaurant, booking platform, or ticket office. Mentions of restaurants, chefs (including Core and Clare Smyth), farms, or regions are for cultural and educational context only. We do not sell reservations, menus for purchase, or commercial dining services.

2. Eligibility

You may use the Site if you can form a binding contract under applicable law. The Site is intended for a general adult audience interested in food culture writing.

3. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

use the Site in any way that violates applicable law or regulation;
attempt to gain unauthorised access to servers, accounts, or data connected with the Site;
interfere with or disrupt the Site’s operation, security, or other users’ access;
scrape, harvest, or systematically copy content in a manner that burdens our infrastructure or violates intellectual property rights, except as allowed by law (for example, brief quotation with attribution for criticism or review);
misrepresent your identity or affiliation when contacting us;
introduce malware, automated abuse, or denial-of-service activity.

4. Intellectual property

Unless otherwise stated, text, design, selection and arrangement of materials on the Site are owned by Seasonal British or used under licence. You may view and print pages for personal, non-commercial reading. You may not republish substantial portions of our essays, reproduce the site design as a competing product, or use our branding in a way that suggests affiliation or endorsement without prior written permission.

Third-party names, including restaurant and chef names, remain the property of their respective owners and appear here for editorial identification only.

5. Accuracy and editorial disclaimer

We aim for careful, good-faith journalism. Food culture, seasons, and restaurant scenes change. Information may become outdated. Content is provided “as is” for general informational purposes and does not constitute professional advice (including dietary, medical, legal, or investment advice). Always verify practical details independently before relying on them.

6. External links

The Site may link to third-party websites. We do not control and are not responsible for their content, privacy practices, or availability. Links are not endorsements.

7. No commercial relationship

Use of the Site does not create a consumer contract for dining services, a partnership, or an agency relationship with any restaurant or brand mentioned in our essays.

8. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Seasonal British and its operators shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of data, profits, or goodwill, arising from your use of — or inability to use — the Site. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded under applicable law (including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud).

9. Indemnity

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Seasonal British and its operators from claims, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your misuse of the Site or violation of these Terms, to the extent permitted by law.

10. Privacy

Personal data is handled as described in our Privacy Policy, which forms part of how we operate the Site alongside these Terms.

11. Changes to the Site and Terms

We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Site at any time. We may update these Terms by posting a revised version with a new “Last updated” date. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance where permitted by law.

12. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Courts of England and Wales shall have exclusive jurisdiction, except where mandatory consumer protections in your country of residence provide otherwise.

13. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in full force.

14. Contact

Questions about these Terms may be directed to the site operator of core-claresmyth.icu through any contact channel published on the Site.
