The information published on OFF-PRESS is provided for general informational, educational and editorial purposes.
OFF-PRESS is an independent publishing, media and creative industries intelligence platform covering publishing, digital media, literature, culture, creative industries, publishing technology and artificial intelligence.
Although we aim to publish useful, accurate and well-researched material, the information contained on this website should not be regarded as professional, legal, financial, medical, technical or other specialist advice.

1. General Information
The content published by OFF-PRESS is intended to inform, educate and encourage discussion.
Information can change over time.
Industry practices, technologies, regulations, commercial conditions, software capabilities and other circumstances may develop after an article has been published.
Consequently, readers should consider the publication date and context of an article when assessing its relevance.
OFF-PRESS makes reasonable efforts to maintain editorial quality, but we do not warrant that every piece of information published on the website will always be complete, current, error-free or suitable for every particular purpose.
Readers should undertake appropriate independent research before making decisions based on information found on this website.
As creative business models and cultural policies expand worldwide, grounding market analysis in data from the UNESCO Creative Economy Framework establishes macro-level credibility when discussing intellectual property, design innovation, and media economics.
2. No Professional Advice
Nothing published by OFF-PRESS should be interpreted as professional advice.
Our articles may discuss subjects involving business, technology, artificial intelligence, publishing, intellectual property, marketing, creative industries, finance, law or other areas in which professional advice may be appropriate.
General information about these subjects does not establish a professional adviser-client relationship.
If you require advice relating to your individual circumstances, you should consult an appropriately qualified professional.
This is particularly important where a decision could result in financial, legal, regulatory, contractual, commercial or other significant consequences.
3. Technology and Artificial Intelligence
Technology changes rapidly.
Articles discussing artificial intelligence, software, platforms, automation, cybersecurity, digital publishing or other technologies may describe capabilities, limitations or practices that subsequently change.
Technology-related information should therefore be independently verified before being relied upon for implementation, procurement, security, compliance or business-critical decisions.
References to artificial intelligence products or technologies do not constitute an endorsement or guarantee of their performance, accuracy, reliability, security or suitability.
AI-generated or AI-assisted systems may produce inaccurate, incomplete, outdated or misleading information.
Appropriate human review remains important when using such technologies.
4. Editorial Opinions
Some OFF-PRESS articles may contain analysis, commentary, opinion or interpretation.
Views expressed in opinion or commentary pieces belong to the relevant author or contributor and do not necessarily represent the views of OFF-PRESS as a whole.
The publication of an opinion does not mean that OFF-PRESS independently endorses every conclusion expressed by the author.
Editorial commentary should be understood within the context of the article in which it appears.
Readers are encouraged to consider different perspectives when evaluating complex subjects.
5. Third-Party Contributions
OFF-PRESS may publish material supplied by external contributors, professionals, organisations or other third parties.
The views, claims and opinions contained within contributed material remain the responsibility of the relevant contributor or source.
While submitted material may undergo editorial review, publication does not constitute a guarantee that every factual assertion, opinion or conclusion has been independently verified by OFF-PRESS.
Contributors are responsible for ensuring that material submitted for publication is accurate, lawful and appropriately sourced.
Where appropriate, readers should conduct their own verification of claims made in contributed material.
6. Accuracy and Completeness
We aim to maintain high editorial standards and to correct significant factual errors when they are identified.
However, no publication can guarantee that all information will be completely accurate or comprehensive at all times.
Information may become outdated, sources may contain errors and circumstances may change.
If you identify a material factual error in an OFF-PRESS article, we encourage you to contact us with the relevant information and supporting evidence.
Where appropriate, we may investigate and update the content.
7. External Websites and Links
OFF-PRESS may contain links to third-party websites, publications, software providers, organisations, research sources and other external resources.
These links are provided for convenience, context or additional information.
OFF-PRESS does not control external websites and is not responsible for their content, availability, accuracy, security, privacy practices or business activities.
The inclusion of an external link does not necessarily represent an endorsement, recommendation or guarantee.
Readers should exercise appropriate judgement when visiting external websites or relying upon information obtained from them.
8. Products, Services and Companies
Articles may discuss companies, software, services, products, technologies or other commercial offerings.
Mention of a company, product or service does not necessarily constitute an endorsement.
Information about products and services may have been obtained from publicly available sources, company information, contributor material or editorial research.
Readers should independently assess whether a particular product or service is appropriate for their needs before making a purchase, investment or business decision.
Availability, pricing, features and terms may change without notice.
9. Commercial Relationships
OFF-PRESS may participate in legitimate commercial relationships, including advertising, sponsored opportunities, contributed content, partnerships or other commercial arrangements.
Where appropriate, commercial or sponsored material may be identified or disclosed.
Commercial relationships do not necessarily mean that OFF-PRESS independently endorses every claim made by a commercial party.
Editorial judgement remains an important consideration when assessing material for publication.
Readers should distinguish between editorial information, commentary, commercial material and advertising where such distinctions are identified.
10. Affiliate Relationships
Where OFF-PRESS participates in an affiliate programme, the website may receive a commission or other compensation when a reader takes an eligible action through an applicable link.
Any such relationship does not necessarily increase the price paid by the reader, although the precise terms depend on the relevant provider and programme.
Affiliate relationships, where used, are intended to support the operation and development of the publication.
Readers should evaluate products and services independently before making purchasing decisions.
11. Intellectual Property
Unless otherwise stated, original OFF-PRESS editorial material is protected by applicable intellectual property laws.
Content may not be reproduced, republished, distributed or commercially exploited without appropriate permission, except where permitted by applicable law.
Third-party trademarks, names, logos and other intellectual property remain the property of their respective owners.
Their appearance on OFF-PRESS does not necessarily imply ownership, affiliation or endorsement.
12. Copyright Concerns
If you believe that material published on OFF-PRESS infringes your copyright or other intellectual property rights, please contact us with sufficient information to identify the relevant material and explain the basis of your concern.
We take legitimate intellectual property concerns seriously and will review appropriate notifications.
13. Limitation of Responsibility
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, OFF-PRESS does not accept responsibility for losses, damages or adverse consequences arising solely from reliance upon general information published on this website.
This includes, where legally permissible, direct or indirect losses, business losses, lost revenue, lost profits, loss of opportunities, loss of data or other consequential consequences.
Nothing in this Disclaimer is intended to exclude or restrict liability where doing so would be unlawful.
14. Reader Responsibility
Readers are responsible for determining whether information published by OFF-PRESS is appropriate for their individual circumstances.
Before acting on information that could have significant consequences, readers should:
- Verify important factual information
- Consult appropriate primary sources
- Consider the publication date
- Review relevant laws and regulations
- Obtain professional advice where appropriate
- Assess the reliability and limitations of any technology discussed
- Consider alternative perspectives and sources
The more significant the potential consequences of a decision, the more important independent verification becomes.
15. Changes to Published Content
OFF-PRESS may update, revise, correct, expand or remove content when appropriate.
Changes may be made to reflect new information, factual corrections, developments in technology, changes in industry practice or editorial considerations.
An article’s original publication date may not always reflect the date on which the information was most recently reviewed or updated unless an explicit update notice is provided.
16. Changes to This Disclaimer
This Disclaimer may be updated from time to time as the OFF-PRESS website, editorial activities, technology and legal requirements develop.
The “Last Updated” date indicates when this page was most recently revised.
Readers are encouraged to review this page periodically.

Final Statement
