We are not obligated to monitor User Content, but we may do so. Removal of content does not imply we have reviewed all content or that remaining content complies with these Terms.

6. Accuracy of Information

The Wild Iceberg is committed to accurate, well-researched editorial content. However, the Site is provided for general informational purposes only. We make no warranties or representations, express or implied, about the completeness, accuracy, reliability, suitability, or availability of any information, article, or content on the Site.

Wildlife conservation data, scientific findings, and environmental statistics change rapidly. Information on the Site may not reflect the most current research. Always verify important information with primary sources, especially for scientific, medical, legal, or conservation decision-making.

7. Third-Party Links and Content

The Site may contain links to third-party websites, resources, or embedded content for your convenience and information. These links do not constitute an endorsement of those sites, their content, or the organisations behind them. We have no control over the content, availability, or practices of linked sites and accept no responsibility for them or for any loss or damage that may arise from your use of them.

You access any third-party content or website at your own risk and subject to the terms and conditions of those websites.

8. Disclaimers

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law:

• The Site and all content are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis without any warranties of any kind, either express or implied, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement.
• We do not warrant that the Site will be uninterrupted, error-free, free of viruses or other harmful components, or that defects will be corrected.
• We do not warrant that any information obtained through the Site is accurate, complete, or current.
• Nothing on the Site constitutes professional advice of any kind — including legal, scientific, veterinary, medical, or conservation advice. Always seek qualified professional guidance for decisions in those areas.

9. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, The Wild Iceberg, its editors, contributors, officers, and agents shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising out of or related to:

• Your use of, or inability to use, the Site
• Any content on the Site or on any linked third-party site
• Unauthorised access to or alteration of your transmissions or data
• Any errors, omissions, or inaccuracies in content
• Any interruption, suspension, or termination of the Site

This limitation applies regardless of the legal theory on which the claim is based, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages, so these limitations may not apply to you.

10. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless The Wild Iceberg and its editors, contributors, officers, agents, and licensors from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, judgments, awards, losses, costs, expenses, or fees (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or relating to your violation of these Terms, your User Content, or your use of the Site.

11. Privacy

Your use of the Site is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. By using the Site, you consent to our collection and use of your data as described in that policy.

12. Accounts

If you register for an account on the Site, you are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for all activities that occur under your account. You agree to notify us immediately of any unauthorised use of your account. We reserve the right to terminate accounts, remove content, or cancel access at our sole discretion if we believe you have violated these Terms.

13. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to all or any part of the Site at any time, with or without cause, with or without notice. All provisions of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination — including ownership provisions, warranty disclaimers, indemnity, and limitations of liability — shall survive termination.

14. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the jurisdiction in which The Wild Iceberg is registered, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.

Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or your use of the Site shall first be attempted to be resolved through good-faith negotiation. If that fails, disputes shall be submitted to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of our registered jurisdiction, unless applicable consumer protection laws in your country require otherwise.

15. Accessibility

We are committed to making the Site accessible to all users. If you experience any accessibility barriers, please contact us at hello@thewildiceberg.com and we will do our best to assist you and address the issue.

16. Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and The Wild Iceberg with respect to your use of the Site and supersede all prior agreements, representations, and understandings.
