Terms of Service

The terms below apply to anyone reading The Long Drive, and come down to one point: general information is not advice about a particular job.

Linked Resources

Where an outside site is linked, it is because it is relevant. It is not because it is vouched for: its content and conduct are its own responsibility.

Copyright

The writing on this site is not free for reuse. Short extracts with a credit and a link may be used freely; copying a page wholesale may not.

No Warranty of Accuracy

Every effort is made to keep this material correct, without any guarantee that it is. No guarantee is offered that every statement is correct or current: codes are amended, products are discontinued, and prices move.

Amendments

These terms may be revised. No separate notice is given, so the page itself is the reference.

Use at Your Own Risk

The reader decides what to do with what they read here. To the extent permitted by law, no liability arises from its use.

Information, Not Professional Advice

These guides address the typical case, never a particular property. Automatic gates work varies with the building, the site and the local rules, and only somebody who has examined the actual work can advise on it.
