Terms of use
The conditions that apply when you use this website.
Using the site
By using Workshop Basics you agree to these terms. The site provides general information about setting up and running a home workshop. It is free to read and does not require registration.
Information, not professional advice
Our guides are general information written by a DIY and workshop writer, not by qualified electricians, engineers or safety professionals. They do not take account of your particular building, tools, skills or circumstances. You are responsible for deciding whether a task is within your competence, for following tool manufacturers' instructions and for using appropriate protective equipment. Work on fixed electrical wiring, gas, structural elements or materials that may contain asbestos should be left to qualified professionals. Please read our disclaimer.
Copyright
The text, layout, logo and images on this site belong to Workshop Basics unless stated otherwise. You may print or save pages for your own personal use. You may quote short extracts with a link back to the page. You may not republish whole guides or substantial parts of them, or use them commercially, without written permission.
Linking to us
You are welcome to link to any page on the site. Please do not frame our pages within another site or imply that we endorse you or your products.
External links
We link to official and authoritative sources. We are not responsible for the content of external sites, which may change after we link to them.
Accuracy and availability
We work to keep guides accurate and up to date, as described in our fact-checking process, but we cannot guarantee that every page is complete, current or error-free. We may change or remove content, or suspend the site, at any time.
Liability
To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any loss or damage arising from use of, or reliance on, information on this site. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited under UK law, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales. If you live in Scotland or Northern Ireland, you may also bring proceedings in your local courts.
