Site owner: Craig Neil

This policy is valid from October 01, 2017

The reading of all information on outaboutscotland.com is of your own free will and while I would love for you to enjoy the site, if you do not accept these Terms and Conditions you should cease use of this website immediately.

To help the website expand and cover costs of running the site, some advertising and affiliate links are run on my website. Affiliate links earn me a small commission on any purchases made when visiting Amazon or other affiliate marketing company after clicking on one of these links.

I am not responsible for the actions of my advertisers or sponsors. If you purchase a product or service based upon a link from my website, you must take action with that company to resolve any issues, not outaboutscotland.com.

Any product, claim, statistic, quote or other representation about a product or service should be verified with the manufacturer, provider or party in question.
