Terms and Conditions
Last updated: 11th September 2026
Welcome to this website, owned and operated by Diane J. Holland, an independent author based in the UK. By using this site, you agree to the terms below. Please read them — they're kept as short and plain as possible.
1. About this site
This website is run by Diane J. Holland as an individual (not a company), for the purpose of sharing information about her books, writing, and related news. It's provided free of charge for visitors to browse.
2. Use of this site
You're welcome to browse, read, and share links to this site for personal, non-commercial use. Please don't:
-
Copy, republish, or sell content from this site without permission;
-
Use the site in any way that's unlawful, harmful, or disrupts its operation (for example, attempting to hack it or overload it); or
-
Misrepresent your identity or impersonate anyone when contacting me through the site.
3. Intellectual property
All text, cover images, artwork, and other content on this site belong to Diane J. Holland, or are used with permission from their rightful owners, unless otherwise stated. You may share short excerpts or links for review or discussion purposes (fair dealing), with appropriate credit, but you may not reproduce substantial parts of the content elsewhere without asking first.
Book titles, cover designs, and related branding are the property of Diane J. Holland and/or her publishers, as applicable.
4. Buying books
This site links to third-party retailers (such as Amazon, Ingram Spark, other online bookshops or libraries) where you can buy or borrow my books. Any purchase you make is between you and that retailer, under their own terms and conditions — I'm not a party to that transaction and can't take responsibility for it. Please direct any order, payment, or delivery queries to the retailer concerned.
5. Links to other websites
This site may link to other websites (for example, my publisher, social media, review sites, or other authors' pages) for your convenience. I don't control these sites and I'm not responsible for their content, accuracy, or privacy practices. Visiting a linked site is at your own discretion.
6. No professional advice
Any content on this site (blog posts, articles, or similar) is provided for general interest and entertainment purposes only. It isn't intended as professional, legal, or other advice, and you shouldn't rely on it as such.
7. Accuracy and availability
I try to keep the information on this site accurate and up to date, but I can't guarantee it will always be complete, error-free, or available without interruption. I may update, suspend, or remove content or pages at any time without notice.
8. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, I won't be liable for any loss or damage arising from your use of this site, except where that loss is caused by my negligence and results in death or personal injury, or where liability cannot legally be excluded (such as under the Consumer Rights Act 2015). Nothing in these terms limits your legal rights as a consumer.
9. Changes to these terms
I may update these terms from time to time, for example to reflect changes to the site or the law. The date at the top shows when they were last revised. Continued use of the site after an update means you accept the revised terms.
10. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Any disputes will be handled by the courts of England and Wales, though if you're a consumer living elsewhere in the UK, you may also be able to bring a claim in your local courts.
