Acceptable Use Policy

Effective August 11, 2026 · Last updated August 11, 2026

Scope

This Acceptable Use Policy applies to everyone who visits or uses winterleafinvest.net. It exists to keep the site safe, lawful, and available. By using the site you agree to it.

You must not

• Break the law, or use the site to help anyone else break the law
• Infringe intellectual property, privacy, publicity, or contractual rights
• Upload or transmit malware, or any code designed to disrupt or gain unauthorised access
• Attempt to access accounts, data, or systems you are not authorised to access, or probe, scan, or test our security without prior written permission
• Scrape, crawl, harvest, or bulk-extract content or personal data by automated means, except for a search engine indexing public pages in line with our robots.txt
• Circumvent authentication, rate limits, or any technical restriction
• Overload, flood, or otherwise interfere with the operation of the site or the infrastructure behind it
• Reverse engineer or attempt to derive source code, except where that restriction is prohibited by law
• Copy, republish, or resell site content without our written permission
• Misrepresent who you are, impersonate anyone, or forge headers to disguise the origin of traffic

Content and communications

You must not use our forms, email addresses, or any other channel on this site to send:

• Unsolicited bulk email or spam, or anything that breaches CAN-SPAM, CASL, GDPR/PECR, or equivalent rules
• Content that is unlawful, defamatory, harassing, abusive, or that sexualises minors
• Fraudulent, deceptive, or misleading material, including phishing and impersonation of a business or public body
• Third-party personal or confidential information you do not have the right to share

No advice through this site

Information on this site is general and educational. Nothing on it is individualised financial, insurance, tax, or legal advice, and you must not use the site as a substitute for a licensed professional reviewing your own situation. Do not rely on anything here to make a decision without that review.

Enforcement

We may investigate suspected breaches and may block access, remove content, or throttle traffic — with notice where practical, and without notice where there is an active risk to the site, to other visitors, or to anyone's safety. Serious or repeated breaches may be reported to law enforcement.

Reporting abuse

Report anything that breaches this policy to richard@mammoth-dev.com. Include the URLs, accounts, or messages involved and when it happened. Security vulnerabilities should go to the same address, and we ask for a reasonable window to fix them before public disclosure.

Changes

We may update this policy. The effective date above will change, and continued use of the site after an update means you accept it.
