By using The Reading of the Will (the "Site"), you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site.
Everything here is fiction
All stories published on the Site are works of fiction. Names, characters, places, dialogue and events are invented or used fictitiously. Any resemblance to real people, living or dead, or to actual events is coincidental and unintended. Illustrations are generated with AI image tools and do not depict real people.
Nothing on the Site is journalism, and nothing on it is legal, medical, financial or psychological advice.
Reading and sharing
Reading is free and no account is required. You may link to any page on the Site and quote short extracts with attribution. You may not republish whole stories or chapters, sell them, or present them as your own work.
Our content
Unless stated otherwise, the stories, images and design on the Site belong to their authors and to The Reading of the Will, and are protected by copyright. Permission requests can be sent through our contact page.
If you believe your rights are infringed
Write to us with the specific page URL and a description of your claim, and we will review it promptly and remove infringing material where the claim is substantiated. See data and content removal.
Advertising and third-party links
The Site is supported by advertising. Ads and occasional links lead to websites we do not operate or control, and we are not responsible for their content, products or practices.
Availability
The Site is provided "as is". We do not guarantee that it will always be available, error-free, or that stories will remain published indefinitely. We may add, change or remove content at any time.
Limitation of liability
To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any loss arising from your use of the Site, including loss caused by content you find here or on sites we link to.
