5. Intellectual property rights

All Content on the Site, including but not limited to text, graphics, logos, icons, images, audio clips, video clips, software, code, the Calculator and its scoring algorithm, and the compilation of all such Content, is owned by or licensed to us and is protected by UK and international intellectual property laws, including the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988.

The “How Many Camels Am I Worth” name and logo are our trademarks (or are used under licence). You may not use them without our prior written consent, except to identify us when linking to the Site or quoting excerpts of Content with attribution.

Nothing on the Site should be construed as granting any licence or right to use any trademark, service mark or other intellectual property right displayed on the Site, except as expressly permitted in these Terms.

Historical facts, statistics, public-domain information and ideas presented on the Site are not subject to copyright protection, but the way we have expressed, organised and presented them is. You are welcome to use the underlying facts and ideas, but please do not copy our expression without attribution and a link back to the original page.

6. User content and sharing

The Calculator includes social share buttons that allow you to share your result on X (Twitter), Facebook, WhatsApp or by copying a link. By using these buttons, you are submitting content to a third-party platform and are bound by that platform’s terms of service and community guidelines. We are not responsible for what you choose to share or how it is received by others.

You retain ownership of any User Content you submit through the Site (for example, if you contact us via our contact form). By submitting User Content to us, you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to use, reproduce and process that User Content for the purpose of responding to your enquiry and operating the Site. We will not use your User Content for any other purpose without your consent.

You warrant that any User Content you submit does not infringe the intellectual property rights or other rights of any third party, does not breach any applicable law, and is not defamatory, offensive or otherwise objectionable.

7. Calculator use

The Calculator is provided as an entertainment tool only. By using the Calculator, you acknowledge and agree that:

• The score produced by the Calculator is fictional, arbitrary and has no scientific, financial, anthropological or commercial validity;
• The Calculator’s scoring algorithm is our own invention and may be changed by us at any time without notice;
• The Calculator processes your inputs locally in your browser and does not transmit them to our server;
• You will not use the Calculator’s “partner” or “mate” modes to evaluate someone without their consent;
• You will not present a Calculator score as a real valuation of any person;
• You will not use the Calculator to make any real-world decision about yourself, your relationships, your employment or any other matter.

Full details of the entertainment-only nature of the Calculator are set out in our Disclaimer, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference.

8. Third-party links, content and advertising

The Site contains links to third-party websites (for example, in our camel facts pages we link to academic sources and news articles). These links are provided for convenience and information only. We have no control over the content, accuracy or practices of those third-party websites, and we accept no responsibility for them or for any loss or damage arising from your use of them. The inclusion of a link does not imply endorsement of the linked site.

The Site also displays advertising via Google AdSense. AdSense ads are served by Google LLC and are governed by Google’s own terms of service and privacy policy. We do not control which specific ads are displayed, and we accept no responsibility for the content of any advertisement, the advertisers behind them, or any transaction you enter into with an advertiser as a result of clicking an ad on this Site. AdSense cookies are only set if you accept advertising cookies via our cookie banner — see our Advertising & Cookies Policy for full details.

Any third-party content embedded on the Site (for example, if we embed a video or image from a third-party source) is the responsibility of the third party and is subject to their terms and conditions.

9. Warranties and disclaimers

The Site and all Content are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. To the maximum extent permitted by UK law, we make no warranties, express or implied, including but not limited to implied warranties of satisfactory quality, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, accuracy, completeness or reliability.

We do not warrant that the Site will be uninterrupted, secure, error-free or that defects will be corrected. We do not warrant that the results obtained from using the Site (including the Calculator) will be accurate, reliable or fit for any purpose.

Any reliance you place on the Site or its Content is strictly at your own risk. Full details are set out in our Disclaimer, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference.

10. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by UK law, neither we nor our operators, employees, agents or affiliates shall be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, special or exemplary damages arising out of or in connection with your use of, or inability to use, the Site or the Content. This includes (without limitation) damages for loss of profits, goodwill, use, data or other intangible losses, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits our liability for:

• Death or personal injury caused by our negligence;
• Fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation;
• Any other liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable UK law.

Because the Site is a free entertainment tool that processes no sensitive data, conducts no commercial transactions and offers no professional advice, the realistic risk of any such liability arising is extremely low. However, the legal carve-outs above are stated for completeness.

11. Indemnity

You agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless How Many Camels Am I Worth and its operators, employees, agents and affiliates from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or in connection with:

• Your breach of these Terms;
• Your violation of any law or the rights of any third party in connection with your use of the Site;
• Any User Content you submit to the Site;
• Any misuse of the Calculator, including sharing of another person’s score without their consent.

This indemnity survives the termination of your access to the Site.

12. Availability of the Site

We do not guarantee that the Site will be available at all times or from all locations. We may suspend or withdraw the Site, or any part of it, for maintenance, updates or any other reason, without notice. We may also impose limits on certain features of the Site or restrict access to parts or all of the Site without notice or liability.

We are not liable for any interruption or disruption to the Site caused by circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including (without limitation) acts of God, internet outages, server failures, cyber attacks, governmental action or labour disputes.

13. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Effective” date at the top of this page and may post a prominent notice on the Site. We encourage you to review this page periodically.

Your continued use of the Site following the posting of updated Terms constitutes your acceptance of the updated Terms. If you do not agree to the updated Terms, you must stop using the Site.

If we make material changes that affect your rights or obligations — for example, changes to the acceptable use policy, the limitation of liability, or the governing law clause — we will notify you by posting a prominent notice on the Site for a reasonable period before the changes take effect.

14. Termination

We may terminate or suspend your access to the Site at any time, without notice, for any reason, including if we reasonably believe you have breached these Terms. Upon termination, all licences and rights granted to you under these Terms will immediately cease.

You may stop using the Site at any time. If you wish to request deletion of any personal data we hold about you (separate from terminating your use of the Site), please see our Privacy Policy for details of your right to erasure under UK GDPR.

Sections of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination — including intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnity and governing law — will continue in full force and effect after termination.

15. Governing law and jurisdiction

These Terms, and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with them or their subject matter (including non-contractual disputes or claims), shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales.

Subject to any mandatory consumer protection rights you may have under UK law, the courts of England and Wales shall have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with these Terms or the Site.

If you are a consumer resident in the United Kingdom, you may also bring proceedings in the courts of the country in which you are resident, in accordance with applicable UK and EU consumer protection rules. Nothing in these Terms affects your rights as a consumer to rely on mandatory provisions of the law of the country in which you are resident.

16. Complaints and alternative dispute resolution

We are committed to resolving any concerns you may have about the Site or these Terms. If you have a complaint, please contact us at hello@howmanycamelsamiworth.co.uk and we will respond within 14 days.

If we cannot resolve your complaint to your satisfaction, and you are a consumer in the United Kingdom, you may have the right to use the Online Dispute Resolution (ODR) platform provided by the European Commission, available at ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr. Note that as a UK-based business operating post-Brexit, our participation in ODR is limited, but the platform remains a source of information about your consumer rights.

You may also seek advice from Citizens Advice on 0800 144 8848 (England) or 0800 702 2000 (Wales), or from Trading Standards via your local authority.
