1. About this site
Feather and Lens publishes editorial content about birding optics, feeders and backyard birding equipment. It is an independent publication. Nothing on it should be read as an official statement from any manufacturer, retailer or conservation body.
2. Use of the site
You may read, quote and link to our content freely. You may not republish articles wholesale, scrape the site systematically, or present our work as your own. You agree not to use the site in any way that damages it, interferes with other readers’ access, or breaks any applicable law.
3. Intellectual property
Unless stated otherwise, the text, photographs and other original material on this site belong to us. Short quotations with a clear credit and a link are welcome and encouraged. Reproduction of whole articles, or use of our photographs elsewhere, requires written permission — write to contact@featherandlens.com and we will usually say yes.
Product names, brands and trademarks mentioned on this site belong to their respective owners and are used for identification only.
4. Accuracy and advice
We write carefully and test what we review, but we cannot guarantee that everything on this site is complete, current or free of error. Specifications change, products are revised, and prices move constantly.
Content here is general information, not professional advice. Decisions about what to buy remain yours. Where equipment involves any physical risk — climbing to place a feeder, using a scope near roads or water, handling wild birds — use your own judgement and follow the manufacturer’s instructions and local law.
5. Wildlife and local regulations
Feeding, photographing and observing wild birds is regulated differently in different places, and some species are protected. Nothing on this site overrides local wildlife law or the guidance of your national conservation authority. Where our advice conflicts with a rule where you live, follow the rule.
6. Affiliate links and third-party sites
This site contains affiliate links, explained in full in our Affiliate Disclosure. Links to external websites are provided for convenience. We do not control those sites, are not responsible for their content, and their inclusion is not an endorsement of everything on them. Any purchase you make from a third-party retailer is a contract between you and that retailer.
7. Comments
Comments are welcome. We reserve the right to edit or remove comments that are abusive, defamatory, off-topic, or promotional. By posting a comment you grant us permission to display it on the site. You remain responsible for what you write.
8. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any loss or damage arising from your use of this site, from reliance on its content, or from any product purchased through a link on it. This does not exclude liability that cannot lawfully be excluded.
9. Availability
We aim to keep the site available but do not guarantee uninterrupted access. We may change, suspend or withdraw any part of it without notice.
10. Changes to these terms
We may revise these terms from time to time. The revision date at the top shows when they last changed. Continuing to use the site after a change means you accept the revised terms.
