What this site is and isn't
The content on this site is for general information about my consulting practice. Nothing here is legal, financial, regulatory, or investment advice, and nothing here constitutes an offer or commitment to provide services.
Any consulting engagement is governed by a separate written agreement, not these terms.
Accuracy
I try to keep content up to date and accurate, but I make no warranty that it is complete, current, or error-free. You use information on this site at your own risk.
Third-party links
Links to third-party sites (LinkedIn, YouTube, articles, podcasts, and so on) are provided for convenience. I don't control those sites and am not responsible for their content or their privacy practices.
Intellectual property
All text, images, and design on this site are © 2026 Dr Alec Burns / Metis Point unless otherwise noted. You're welcome to share excerpts with attribution and a link back. Please don't republish full pages or reuse images without written permission.
Acceptable use
Don't try to break, overload, or reverse-engineer the site, scrape it at scale, or use it to distribute malware. Don't impersonate me or use the Metis Point name in a way that implies an affiliation that doesn't exist.
Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, I accept no liability for loss or damage arising out of your use of, or inability to use, this website. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited under UK law.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales, and any dispute will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts.
Changes
These terms may be updated from time to time. The "last updated" date above will reflect any material change.
