Terms for using The Connected Desk.
These terms explain how readers may use The Connected Desk and what limits apply to the site’s content. By using the site, you agree to treat the material as general editorial information, not personalised ergonomic, employment, legal, financial, safety, or procurement advice.
The Connected Desk helps readers think through workspace systems, tool stacks, remote-work operations, and buying decisions. Final decisions remain the reader’s responsibility.
About the site
The site publishes systems pages, desk audits, tool-stack maps, remote-operation notes, lab notes, buying guides, comparisons, reviews, and trust pages. The focus is daily work: focus blocks, calls, async handoffs, travel days, charging, ergonomics, maintenance, and repeated use.
No personalised advice
Content cannot know your body, medical history, employer policies, office lease, electrical constraints, privacy obligations, procurement rules, or local workplace requirements. Readers should verify product details, safety instructions, employer rules, and professional advice where needed.
Product information
We try to keep information useful and current, but specifications, prices, availability, model names, warranties, return terms, software features, subscriptions, and retailer pages can change without notice. Always confirm final details with the retailer, manufacturer, app provider, or service operator before buying or adopting a tool.
Editorial content and permitted use
Articles, systems, audits, images, diagrams, page layouts, and site design are provided for informational use. You may link to pages normally, but you may not copy, scrape, republish, resell, or bulk-extract substantial parts of the site without permission.
Short quotations are acceptable when credited and linked clearly. Reusing article bodies, generated images, audit frameworks, or page templates for another website is not permitted.
Affiliate links
Some pages may include affiliate links. If a reader buys through those links, The Connected Desk may earn a commission at no additional cost to the reader. Affiliate income does not make a retailer responsible for our content and does not make us responsible for retailer service.
Commercial potential does not guarantee coverage, a favourable conclusion, or permanent placement. We may remove, criticise, or update a product if the system logic changes.
External links and services
The site may link to retailers, manufacturers, software providers, app stores, affiliate networks, and third-party resources. We are not responsible for their content, privacy practices, pricing, terms, delivery, returns, support, subscriptions, data handling, or service uptime.
Reader submissions
If you send corrections, product notes, partnership messages, affiliate invitations, or newsletter requests, you are responsible for ensuring the information is accurate and that you have permission to share it.
Submitting a product or correction does not guarantee coverage, publication, a response, or a commercial relationship. We may use factual corrections to improve a page without publishing private personal details.
Forms and email drafts
Where a static preview uses mailto forms, the page creates a local email draft rather than silently storing a backend submission. A message is only sent if the sender reviews and sends it through their email client. Production pages should use a real backend only when that backend has been tested.
Generated images
Some editorial images may be generated or composited for illustration. They should not contain brand logos, readable labels, or claims of hands-on testing. Images support editorial context; they do not prove a specific branded product was tested unless a page clearly says so.
Errors and corrections
Corrections are welcome. Send the page URL, the specific claim, and a reliable source or product page. We may update pages when product details change or when a clearer explanation would help readers.
Limitation of liability
The site is provided as-is. To the fullest extent allowed by law, The Connected Desk is not liable for losses arising from reliance on content, product defects, retailer changes, software changes, employer policies, ergonomic outcomes, third-party websites, or purchasing decisions.
Nothing in these terms excludes liability where the law does not allow exclusion.
Changes to these terms
These terms may be updated as the site changes, adds tools, starts using different affiliate relationships, or improves submission workflows. Continued use of the site after changes means you accept the updated terms.
