These Terms and Conditions explain the rules for using Email Explained, available at emailexplained.com.
By using this website, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree with them, you should stop using the website.
1. About Email Explained

The website publishes educational information about email, email providers, online privacy, security, password managers and related technology.
Content may include:
- beginner guides;
- product reviews;
- service comparisons;
- pricing information;
- privacy and security explanations;

2. General information only
Information published on Email Explained is provided for general educational and informational purposes.
Nothing on the website constitutes legal, financial, tax, investment, professional cybersecurity or other professional advice.
You are responsible for deciding whether a product, service, security setting or course of action is appropriate for you.
Where a decision could have serious legal, financial, privacy or security consequences, you should seek advice from a suitably qualified professional.
3. Accuracy of information
We aim to publish clear and accurate information.
However, online services and products change. Providers may alter their:
- prices;
- subscription plans;
- features;
- privacy policies;
- security systems;
- software;
- ownership;
- availability;
- discounts; or
- terms of service.
We cannot guarantee that every page will always be complete, current or free from errors.
A publication date or update date shows when content was written or last reviewed. It does not guarantee that a third-party service has remained unchanged.
You should confirm important information directly with the relevant provider before creating an account, making a payment or changing an existing service.
4. Reviews and comparisons
Reviews and comparisons may be based on:
- our own testing and experience;
- official provider documentation;
- information supplied by providers;
- publicly available information; and
- our assessment of how a service works.
Reviews represent our findings at the time the product or service was tested.
Your experience may be different because of your location, device, account type, subscription, software version or personal requirements.
The inclusion, exclusion or position of a service in an article does not guarantee that it will be suitable for every reader.
5. Affiliate links
Some links on Email Explained are affiliate links.
An affiliate link allows a third-party company or affiliate network to recognise that Email Explained referred a visitor.
If you follow an affiliate link and later sign up for or purchase a product, Email Explained may receive a commission.
Affiliate relationships may include CJ Affiliate and direct affiliate programmes operated by email providers, password-manager companies and other technology companies.
Affiliate relationships do not guarantee that a company will receive a positive review, recommendation or particular position in a comparison.
6. Third-party products and services
Products and services discussed on Email Explained are supplied by third-party companies.
Email Explained is not a party to any agreement between you and a third-party provider.
The provider is responsible for matters including:
- providing the product or service;
- creating and managing accounts;
- processing payments;
- setting prices and taxes;
- subscription renewals;
- refunds and cancellations;
- technical support;
- service availability;
- account security; and
- handling personal information.
You should read the provider’s terms, privacy policy and payment information before creating an account or making a purchase.
7. External websites
Email Explained contains links to websites operated by other organisations.
We do not control those websites and cannot guarantee their:
- content;
- security;
- availability;
- accessibility;
- privacy practices;
- prices; or
- continued operation.
A link does not mean that Email Explained owns, operates or guarantees the destination website.
Once you leave Email Explained, the destination website’s own terms and privacy policy apply.
8. Prices, discounts and offers
Prices, discounts and offers shown on Email Explained may change without notice.
The price available to you may depend on:
- your country;
- your currency;
- applicable taxes;
- the billing period;
- your account status;
- your eligibility;
- previous subscriptions; and
- whether you are a new or existing customer.
We cannot guarantee that an offer will remain available after it has been published.
The final price and contractual terms are those displayed by the provider before you complete a purchase.
9. Accounts and comments
Email Explained does not currently allow visitors to:
- create public accounts;
- publish comments;
- create profiles;
- upload files; or
- submit public content.
This reduces the amount of personal information collected directly through the website.
You may contact us by email. You are responsible for the information you choose to include in your message.
You must not send malicious files, unlawful material or confidential information that you are not authorised to share.

Unless otherwise stated, the original written content, illustrations, graphics and other original materials published on Email Explained are protected by applicable intellectual-property laws.
Company names, product names, logos and trademarks belonging to third parties remain the property of their respective owners.

- security incidents;
- hosting problems;
- technical faults; or
- circumstances outside our control.
We may correct, update, reorganise or remove content without notice.
13. Limitation of liability
Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability where doing so would be unlawful.
Subject to that restriction, Email Explained is not responsible for losses caused solely by:
- relying on general educational information without checking important details;
- information becoming outdated after publication;
- changes made by a third-party provider;
- the failure or performance of a third-party product;
- a third party refusing a refund or cancellation;
- loss of access to a third-party account;

We do not guarantee that using a particular email service, password manager or security product will prevent hacking, fraud, data loss or another security incident.
Your statutory rights are not affected.
14. Privacy
Our Privacy Policy explains how information may be processed when you:
- visit Email Explained;
- follow an external or affiliate link;
- change your cookie preferences; or
- contact us by email.
The Privacy Policy forms part of these terms.
15. Changes to these terms
We may update these terms when the website, applicable requirements or the services discussed on the website change.
The date at the top of the page shows when the terms were last updated.
The revised terms apply from the date they are published.
16. Severability
If any part of these terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining parts will continue to apply.
17. Governing law
These terms are governed by Scots law.
The Scottish courts will have jurisdiction over disputes connected with these terms, subject to any mandatory rights that allow a consumer to bring proceedings elsewhere.
Nothing in these terms removes consumer rights that cannot lawfully be excluded.
